    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Looks like another pretty nice day, though a bit chilly this morning. Nothing major on the agenda.

    Today's breakfast of hash, which took a while to chop up. More eggs than I usually have for breakfast but I felt I needed to balance the carbs with extra protein and fat. It was delicious.
    Hi Ed
    That looks like Poached Eggs over some sort of sauteed vegetables to me. I never acquired the taste for poached eggs, I prefer them fried hard whether for a sandwich, Omelet or Scrambled.
    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Looks like another pretty nice day, though a bit chilly this morning. Nothing major on the agenda.
    A day with nothing on the agenda sounds OK to me, That is my preference.

    Yesterday we drove over to a new Grocery store that just opened in the area, We found out when a circular for them appeared in the Weekly Circular delivery arrived in the mail.
    Some prices were good and some not. An example of what my brother thought was a good price was Chicken Leg & Thigh Quarters for $0.27 a pound in bulk. Myself I do not shop enough to know a good price when I see it. They appear to have just opened and had not even finished filling the shelves. One interesting thing is that the store is a combined Grocery Store and a True Value Hardware store that use the same set of registers.

    I didn't mention one of the "Bargains" he bought Sunday was a 5 pound bag of french fries at a price of 2 for $3 :smiley:
    “BREAKFAST” Recipe Relay Challenge
    The preview image says breakfast fail, My guess based on what I see before watching it is that one person somehow relays a recipe and a different one cooks it, Am I correct ? I'll know later.
    We Promise, This is Delicious - Simple, Roasted Onions From 1808
    It looks like they just took an onion and backed it in the skin. I wonder how that tastes, I won't do it mainly because the only time I use the oven is when I piggy back something with what my brother is cooking.

    TBH the So called Cheese just looks wrong and also not nearly enough. It looked more like they had used Yellow Mustard.

    Have a Nice Peaceful Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Again, a bit cooler this morning but otherwise supposed to be a pretty nice day. I might get out for a bit today. We'll see.

    Tonight (Wednesday, March 20) we have a super worm moon on the Spring Equinox. Spring has sprung!

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 47 degrees. When I left the house all was dry, given the early rain in the forecast I modified my walking path so that I was more or less close to the house. At the furthest point I felt my first drop of rain and by the time I was home everything was wet and the rain had temporarily stopped. There is heavy rain in the forecast for later today :(

    Hello Ed
    Spring may have sprung, however I have seen better looking days :smile:

    This mornings weather forecast was titled Spring Fail :smiley:

    I could see the Super Moon last night around the 9:30 to 10PM time period as it appeared when the clouds that were moving in did not obscure it. This morning not a trace of it through the heavy cloud cover :(
    "Instant" Mac & Cheese - One-Pan, No-Bake Mac & Cheese - Food Wishes
    Then in the description it says "By cooking our macaroni in the cheese sauce, we’re able to produce a one-pan mac and cheese that not only tastes better, but give or take a few minutes, is just about as fast and easy to make as that stuff from the box"
    Thus it is not instant IMO. BTW I like the Kraft Dinner too. It is a different taste than the other Mac & Cheese and both are equally good IMO.

    This is something I learned here, Thanks FWIW. "Pre-grated cheeses are of lower quality, and the shreds are coated in a cellulose power that can give the final product an odd texture."

    Hello Valerie
    I had forgotten You were on Vacation :(
    Did You ever mention what happened for ST. Patty's Day meals ? If so I am forgetting it.

    I like a good laugh and as my brother says any time You can make someone laugh it is a good day.

    I would have thought that finding restaurants that did both types of foods well would be tough.

    Enjoy the Sun

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Looks like another pretty nice day, though with a small chance of precipitation.

    I need to get some laundry folded and put away.
    Good Morning from wet and windy NJ. The wind that was blowing while I was walking appears to have increased, I say that since I just heard the Garbage can in the neighbors driveway blowing around.

    I was able to have my brother wash my most needed laundry, I may do a load Sunday, maybe not, I tend to do the laundry based on impulse. My reflective safety vest needed washing as some unknown person had managed to spill coffee on it :) It was much brighter afterwards, I can only guess that it had become dingy slow enough that I had not noticed it.
    3 INCREDIBLE VEGAN BURGER RECIPES
    the three recipes are "sweet potato & piri peri burger, bbq black bean burger & Dwight's beet burger" The fact that Piri piri is a cultivar of Capsicum frutescens, a chili pepper that grows both wild and as a crop excludes that recipe for me. The Others are a possibility.
    Carla Makes Butter-Basted Steak
    I have known that Butter helps for quite a while, OTOH I always added after cooking rather than as she says "Browned, nutty butter will deliver toasty flavor to every bite." And before I forget any steak I cook would have a lot less red in it. As a side note I prefer my burgers cooked as I do not care for the taste or texture when they are red on the inside.
    “DESSERT” Recipe Relay Challenge
    Dessert Fail ? It is only a fail if the taste is wrong, appearance is low on my list or priorities.
    Irish People Try American Worms
    They look disgusting, Mealy Worms ? I believe they are used to feed some pets people keep. Whatever I am not eating Bugs, There are enough allowed bug fragments in spices as is.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 45 degrees. The Rain yesterday was off and on, more on than off. This morning it was wet outside and as I was walking a fine mist started blowing on the breeze, That mist slowly became heavier as I walked and the breeze caused a bit of a wind chill :(

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 35 degrees. The Rain yesterday ended in the afternoon and the winds picked up as the cold front moved in. This morning while walking there was a stiff breeze with high wind gusts causing a wind chill that was tolerable, barely having heard the wind gusts throughout the night I added a light long sleeve under the sweatshirt and hoodie.

    Good Morning Ed
    Tomorrow is Grocery day, Or to put it another way the day my brother traditionally with very few exceptions runs to the Grocery Store :)

    I tend to not go with him as the temptations there are overpowering and I end up buying something that I neither need nor that I should be eating. The flesh is weak when it comes to food :(
    3 Chicken Pie Recipes Compared (Microwave vs Pot Pie vs Chef's Version)
    To me they all look like tasty versions, That is from looking at the picture and not having viewed the video. My brother who has more traditional views on what a pot Pie should be, not so much. FWIW we have a Homemade Chicken Pot Pit Vacuum sealed in the refrigerator. It was made with a top crust of pie dough to use up the dough before it went bad. Anyway back to what I was saying, In his view the only Pot Pie has a top crust only, A creamy sauce, meat, and Mixed Vegetables.

    I have to wonder how they can do that. Interesting idea, OTOH how well do reading glasses work when each eye is way different in their needs. Example I have one weak eye and one that is OK.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Looks to be another nice day here. I have not quite managed a totally agenda-less weekend, as I had to buy cat food yesterday. Orion has moved to adult food but so far just a chicken flavored soft pâté that is very similar to the canned kitten food he was eating before. I got more of that, in the chicken AND in turkey flavor (trying to gradually broaden his horizons), more of the "cuts in gravy" variety (three flavors) for Kiara and Dinah, and a few cans of Lilo's geriatric food.

    Last night's dinner was a huge salad with home made Thousand Islands type dressing. The salad had boiled eggs and American cheese strips for protein.

    Good Morning from Atlanta!
    I had a fun time with my family, (missing only my oldest and the grands). Sorry it had to end...glad to have a fast internet speed again. The wifi was as slow as I remember dial up to be after the first day or two. We all gave up on it! But, we all had iPads or equivalent, and smart phones so it wasn't bad enough to go looking around the island for a better connection.

    Came home to wonderful weather yesterday...today is partly cloudy..and maybe some rain later.

    I made it tury a whole week without a trip to the Island Fudge Shop/Shoppe???. Though there were things that did come into the condo, and were tasted or eaten. But, by in large, I didn't stray toooo far.
    Roger, more and more, both here in Atlanta and in other places...certainly on HHI its pretty easy to find veg food right along with mainstream entree's. I had a great blackened tofu sandwich, a buddha bowl with quinoa and brown rice and about 6 toppings...etc. In other words I ate well. I did step on the scale today, but didn't let it scare me. Most of that is water from eating salty foods, lack of exercise, and the 5.5 hour drive home. So, all in all I expect to see a more 'normal' reading on Wednesday. :)

    I see Roger was walking in weather way too cold for my tastes, and liking it!!

    Ed, your St. Paddy's day dinner was way better than mine. We were late going, and the 'traditional type foods' were gone! So no boiled potatoes and cabbage and no Irish Soda Bread...all of your dinner looked delicious! Next Year!!!! (or maybe later this year even! since I don't need the corned beef, its easy to do anytime)

    Poor cat is totally confused. Happy to see me, not sure where he was supposed to eat...I put his food indoors, he kept going back to look on the back porch...put food on the porch, and he was inside looking for it....do cats get dementia??? :) Unless it rains, he's out for the day... Not sure, but I think he prefers that.

    Need to hit the gym, stop into the Mex Market for banana's, a bit of their bread- I don't know the names of all the different shaped breads, but Ted and I got 'into' eating it while he was here. tsk, tsk, tsk!
    I also need some blueberries, either fresh or frozen, and apples and other fruits, and some broccoli, carrots, and such. I intend to make a pot of rice, and one of quinoa. With some beans or some form of tofu, I can have many dinners in nearly no time at all for the week! (I like that)

    I was right along with Emmy and Grandma's toast sandwich til she hit the sugar??? and the ketchup?? not being a fan of catsup (notice I used both spellings in one long sentence!) I'm not sure I 'd like that at all....
    BUT..the cabbage pancake looked really good...I'd of course use a fake egg or no egg at all.
    And, the prison loaf didn't look that bad either...not every meal, or many days, but lack of salt would not be a big issue as I use very little salt.

    Ok, I need to do a whole long list of 'stuff' today...and I need to get going.

    Later...

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking two pennies were found as I walked across a parking lot. The Temperature out the door was showing 53 degrees and at 5:13 AM a time and temperature was showing 53 degrees also. It was nice walking outside for walking, I was somewhat overdressed in the hoodie and ended up with it unzipped to let some cooler air in.

    Hi Ed
    I like a Salad with hard boiled eggs crumbled into and shredded cheese FWIW.

    Good Luck with the changes in the Kittens food.
    3 Quick & Easy Sheet Pan Dinners
    Recipes are One Tray Philly Cheesesteak, Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas, Sheet Pan Steak and Fries.
    Unless it is in a sub roll it isn't a philly style cheesesteak, Pass on anything with shrimp and pan steak and fries looks good if somewhat undecooked. I Just looked at the Cheesesteak and I see it does end up on a roll, So subtract the Peppers and I'd eat it.

    Hi Valerie
    Welcome Home.
    Dial up speeds, I remember those. it was OK back then since Webpages were mostly text and not loaded with lots of large graphics.

    I expect to see Vegetarian foods all over and to a lesser extent vegan, I just do not expect to see it as street food.

    As long as You are happy with the scale :smiley:
    I see Roger was walking in weather way too cold for my tastes, and liking it!!

Not sure, but I think he prefers that.
    The walking temperatures are all relative :smiley: I would likley be unhappy with Your Heat and Humidity during the summer.

    Your cat sounds confused. I guess inside is better since that way it won't attract any critters. Good Question, The answer is I do not know, Maybe ?

    Aw, No traditional foods at all :( We did skip the Irish Soda bread this year both store bough and homemade versions :smiley:
    Need to hit the gym, stop into the Mex Market for banana's, a bit of their bread- I don't know the names of all the different shaped breads, but Ted and I got 'into' eating it while he was here. tsk, tsk, tsk!

    Ok, I need to do a whole long list of 'stuff' today...and I need to get going.

    Later...
    The one local Grocery Store has Mexican breads and pastries that are delivered daily. Some of the breads are multi colored and somewhat sweet. The Pastries make a change from traditional bakery pastries. I can see why You might want some, The store also has all the usual suspects such as Hard Rolls, Portuguese Rolls and more.

    That dish did not need Ketchup, and if You had not mentioned it I likley would have missed that You used both spellings.

    The prison Loaf recipe looked like You could adapt it to Your needs easily, Just drop the meat which there was not that much anyway.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Temperatures are supposed to be nice but we are expecting thunder and rain after noon. I need to get out to Kroger or at least Ingle's before that happens if I can. I am low on paper towels and my preferred brand is made by Kroger. On the other hand, not yet critically low and Ingle's is likely to have a better price on some other items I need, assuming they have enough in stock, which is sometimes an issue at any grocery.

    I made it out and back well before the rain! I left a bit after 9:00 and got back home at 10:15. All is unloaded and put away, and traffic between home and Kroger was not a problem at all.

    My bonus for this trip was finding four lamb shanks in the "used meat" rack along with a pound of 80/20 ground chuck. All of those are now resting up from their travels, in the freezers.
