    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and nothing was found. Yesterday I neglected to mention that in addition to the pennies I found I found a unused 1 cent stamp on the Post Office floor as I was mailing off the payments for the Gas & Electric and Credit Card bills. The Temperature out the door was showing 35 degrees

    Seems a bit strange to me

    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.
    Hello Ed
    We had good news yesterday, The legislation to pass Legalized Marijuana was withdrawn by the Governor. My guess is that happened when he could not get enough votes to pass it and ha hates losing or criticism so he can avoid a loss.

    For Paper Towels I have been buying the CostCo brand after trying them, Kleenex in the 10 pack and Charmin toilet paper since so far it has not suffered the width shrinkage of other brands. I prefer to avoid driving in the rain also, It is not my driving skills it is the others on the road.

    How to Make Pan-Seared Pork Chops and Corn Fritters
    Those Look pretty good to me. Pork Chops demand a good homemade gravy, I do not really remember ever having Corn Fritters, I must have but...
    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.
    Way to go, Used meat rack is a strange way to put it IMO, I would have thought that a rack marked clearance or marked down would be better. The Local ShopRite has a clearance section where the put any meats marked down. Those are usually some cut or whole Chickens. We did Buy a Marked down ham recently at $0.59 a pound. That went right into the freezer. My brother should be picking up the free ham earned by spending $400 in a defined time period on Wednesday. We were less that $3 from that goal Sunday :smiley: After last year he wants to get it right away as somehow someone redeemed the free ham in south NJ last year and he had to spend some time at the Courtesy Counter to get one for us.

    Have a Good Day

    Howdy all y"all. It's terrific Tuesday! Orion was helping me type until he heard Lilo make a noise in the kitchen and had to investigate.

    It looks like it will be another pleasant day, at least as far as temperature, with 50% chance of, again, mostly afternoon/evening rain.

    I might get out to Aldi this morning for a few items.

    I've called it "used meat" for many years, just to be silly. We also get most of our cats from the "used cat lot" but that isn't to save money, but to help poor, homeless, often abandoned felines in finding a happy "furever" home.

    I don't know how the loyalty points work for your grocery. At Kroger one can use the actual card, enter the card ID number, or use the (optional) programmed in phone number, to collect or redeem the points. They don't have to have a phone number associated with the card, but it is convenient if, for some reason, the card can't be scanned, as most people won't have memorized the card ID number.

    Anyone who knows the phone number I had associated with the card could use my points. They wouldn't be likely to know my card ID but could enter that if they did know it. If they had a similar phone number and made a typo to accidentally use my phone number, that would access my account of course.

    Good luck getting the ham this year!

    I'm back home from walking and nothing was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 32 degrees. As I was sitting in the Living room finishing my coffee I noticed several walking appetites AKA Deer meandering down the street through the yards on both sides.

    Hello Ed
    Was Orion really helping or...

    Today is forecast to be below normal and is starting off that way. Temps in the 60s for the weekend are forecast. The Allergy season is off to a early start due to the stretch of warm weather we had.

    Calling it the used cat lot makes some sense. I am ambivalent regarding some locales that require any pet stores to only sell rescued animals. This would seem to be the end of anyone that ones a pure bred animal.

    I suppose it could be called a loyalty card. Most of the year it just saves some money on certain items at the checkout and a couple of times a year such as Thanksgiving and Easter spending $400 in a certain time period gets You free meat. This time You can get a Ham or pay $0.10 a pound more for the better end, or pay a bit more for a spiral sliced ham or Kosher roasting chicken for example.

    One possibility is also that some picked a discarded Receipt that has the key tag number printed on it, unlikely as it was redeemed in south NJ and not locally. I anticipate no problem as his shopping today will put it over the $400 mark and he will redeem for the free ham today to be sure that does not happen again.
    Testing the Avant-Garde Vegan Cookbook! // Sriracha Meatballs, Tofu Kebabs + More

    I might be tempted to try them all except for the Sriracha Meatball noodle bowls, That would be my dislike of hot (Spicy) foods. I do not even care for Hot Italian Sausage and eat the Sweet Italian Sausage instead.

    The broccoli was lightly buttered, but some of it did end up with the sauce on it as well, and that was quite tasty on the broccoli. There is plenty of the sauce to go around, so I may well do that deliberately when dishing up leftovers.

    While it sounds generic, Tuesday Night Red is actually not a blend, being all Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a pleasant, unassuming wine that is better than one might expect. They also bottle a Tuesday Night White that is, likewise, a pleasant, unassuming Chardonnay. I like them both and am always glad to get more.

    Full day. Stopped by Walmart to pick up stuff for cat on my way to Atlanta and my chiro. She's so great. I was officially released from my car accident. Then on to Whole Foods, and this and that, along with a discussion with a total stranger about broccoli micro greens vs broccoli sprouts. She's been vegan since 1999 I think she said I owned up to 7 years myself, wishing I'd been at it longer...home and lunch at 3:30 :) Yes I was hungry...and yes it included Chicken Fried Tofu, along with several salad's I'd found on the cold bar...consider cucumber diced into about a healthy one quarter dice with cilantro!!! That turned out to be really tasty! And something 'simple' to do at home! So, now all I need is summer and a nice crop of cukes! After my late lunch it was time to hit 'my' gym, the bike. I only lasted 15 minutes...I really do hate that recumbent bike. And after watching the news, and eating a light supper, I ran out to Publix to buy a Power Ball ticket :) (a girl can dream, right?) So, now here I am. Caught up with reading, but several vid's yet to watch. I did watch the Vegan Chicken. Loved the mushroom sautè and I think the broccoli was closer to broccolini but.....
    Now, on my way to bed, and Scrabble with Ted, and some word games, Suduko, etc. Then a long sleep.

    Roger your walking temperatures are less than consistent, and way to cold for my old bones! :) I was glad to see that you found a couple cents the other day...its been awhile :)

    Ed, you managed to get around the rains/storms we've had the past couple days! Me too, so far. I understand tomorrow may be more of the same. I still need a trip to Kroger tomorrow, and then Friday a few things to pick up at Costco along with my scripts.

    Take care, and I hope to get here tomorrow a good bit earlier......

    Later...

    Nothing wrong with buttered Vegetables either, It gives a different taste and hence helps avoid boredom from eating the same thing over and over. Leftovers can be a tasty time saving food.

    TBH the Tuesday Night Red did sound and look generic. Can I guess that they come in the wine case You order ?

    Hi Valerie
    Do Your Cucumbers get borers in the vines ? Last year we had borers in the Zucchini and the melon vines and the Deer and or squirrels ruined the Melons as they were nearly ripe enough to pick.

    Either Your Whole Foods ready to eat section is better than the one near here or it could be my fault as I tend to look at the Hot foods section.

    The temperatures are all over the place lately :(

    I try and stay away from CostCo except for a once a month visit. The last Visit in addition to AAA batteries and Kleenex I did not avoid temptation and bought 4 of their Sausage Sandwiches to freeze and a Chicken Bake, What I ended up doing was eating the Chicken Bake and two of the Sausage sandwiches the same day. I did throw out the rolls from the Sausage Sandwiches and the scale was not too bad the next morning. Likely due to eating the Chicken bake on my return home and the only foods that day were the foods from CostCo.

    Good Luck with Your Shopping

    12 hours earlier from yesterday!
    Good Morning!
    Ed....Thanks for the info on the Tuesday red Wine. Do you buy it locally? I think my DIL might like that...and she has an early June birthday...this would go nicely with her Amazon C/C that she uses to buy 'summer reading' :)

    Roger, I guess you could call it Mock Chicken, but why bother? :) I can't eat it. I used to eat the protein isolates, and seitan...I've dropped almost all of that. You might want to share the Beans and Rice video with your brother... Some interesting seasonings and prep and cooking stuff. I've used small red beans, and I like them! (I find them at the Mex. Market next door from the gym!

    Ed's going to Aldi, perhaps...I'm going to Kroger for SURE! Several 'critical' the Kroger list! I've put it off all week, and today's the day! Thanks Ed, for a new way to look at my lists! Critical or (fill in the blank) Wants?

    I also need to spend a few hours with the yard. Full of twigs AGAIN, and red Maple blossoms all over my driveway, sidewalk, and porch. The blower will make quick work of that chore...sadly the cutting back, trimming, etc will take a bit longer.

    Today is a gym day......:( or :)...hmmm. Gotta do it though.

    I also need to go back and hunt up the sauce you both are talking about...I've learned to make sauces beyond 'gravy'. They do help perk up old standby foods!

    Ok, I am off...need to jump into my gym clothes. (if you take that literally, I might not make it there in this lifetime!) No jumping for this ole gal. :)

    I get it (when they have it) from my wine club, in a mixed crate of 15 or 18 bottles of assorted wine. It's a fairly small batch production and not always available. I'm sure the folks at Trader Joe's could help you find a nice, reasonably priced Cabernet Sauvignon that would be good.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Again, it's a bit chilly this morning, but look's like it will be a pretty nice day overall. Might get out to Aldi for a few things but nothing is critical.
    Hello Ed
    As a member of the procrastinators league I tend to put any shopping off until I have several critical needs.
    Every Way to Cook an Egg (59 Methods) | Bon Appétit
    Basically IMO there are only a few ways to cook an egg and have it be edible. Those would be Hard Boiled as they are versatile, in a well done omelet and Scrambled until hard all the way through. OTOH I do like them in a McDs Egg McMuffin where they are cooked in a ring to fit the English Muffin with the Yolk punctured and well done.
    Ultimate Vegan Egg Taste Test! Are They Worth It?
    Only a couple of those looked anything like an egg. Those would be one or two of the Scrambled Eggs if anyone cares.
    4 GIANT Foods You Should Try
    Way to big so I will pass on trying them. I have been sticking to the NS plan and currently as a result I am not experiencing cravings.
    How to Make Chinese Dishes Like Three-Cup Chicken and Smashed Cucumbers
    Smashed Cucumbers, Pass. That seemed like a lot of ginger in the three cup chicken and I prefer The Chicken breast and my brother prefers Legs and thighs so buying a whole chicken works out well.
    Target Spring Grocery Haul - 10 Healthy Items To Buy..And What To Avoid!
    The list of recipes looked interesting. I am guilty of not reading the labels as carefully as I should. What I end up looking at is the Calories per serving and how many servings as well as Total Carbs per serving.

    Ed....Thanks for the info on the Tuesday red Wine. Do you buy it locally? I think my DIL might like that...and she has an early June birthday...this would go nicely with her Amazon C/C that she uses to buy 'summer reading' :)
    I get it (when they have it) from my wine club, in a mixed crate of 15 or 18 bottles of assorted wine. It's a fairly small batch production and not always available. I'm sure the folks at Trader Joe's could help you find a nice, reasonably priced Cabernet Sauvignon that would be good.
    Thanks for the reply to Valerie, that answered my question from yesterday too.

    Have a Good Day

    LOL! HA HA! :smiley:

    Good Morning!
    Ed....Thanks for the info on the Tuesday red Wine. Do you buy it locally? I think my DIL might like that...and she has an early June birthday...this would go nicely with her Amazon C/C that she uses to buy 'summer reading' :)

    Roger, I guess you could call it Mock Chicken, but why bother? :) I can't eat it. I used to eat the protein isolates, and seitan...I've dropped almost all of that. You might want to share the Beans and Rice video with your brother... Some interesting seasonings and prep and cooking stuff. I've used small red beans, and I like them! (I find them at the Mex. Market next door from the gym!

    Ed's going to Aldi, perhaps...I'm going to Kroger for SURE! Several 'critical' the Kroger list! I've put it off all week, and today's the day! Thanks Ed, for a new way to look at my lists! Critical or (fill in the blank) Wants?
    Hello Valerie
    Now if I could only get a restart like in the one humorous image I posted :wink:

    If You dropped most of those where are You getting Your Proteins from now.

    Beans and My brother, hmm... Frozen Lima and Baby Lima Beans, Maybe once in a blue moon Green Beans and all the other beans he buys whatever Dried beans are on sale :smiley:

    Wants are the reason I try and stay away from anywhere selling foods. I'm a little unhappy I dropped a fair amount of weight this week, I suspect Water Weight BTW and the Pants I wear walking and the hole in the belt are unchanged :(
    I also need to spend a few hours with the yard. Full of twigs AGAIN, and red Maple blossoms all over my driveway, sidewalk, and porch. The blower will make quick work of that chore...sadly the cutting back, trimming, etc will take a bit longer.

    Today is a gym day......:( or :)...hmmm. Gotta do it though.

    I also need to go back and hunt up the sauce you both are talking about...I've learned to make sauces beyond 'gravy'. They do help perk up old standby foods!

    Ok, I am off...need to jump into my gym clothes. (if you take that literally, I might not make it there in this lifetime!) No jumping for this ole gal. :)

    Later...
    I really need to put the protective gloves on and Prune the Blackberry Bush and the Raspberry Bushes. Giving them the drastic pruning last year did not seem to inhibit growth or fruit production so before they leaf out, Maybe later today as the weather is supposed to be warm.

    The red pollen and the red Maple Blossoms that should be here in the near future are why my brother is holding off on having the Car (F150 Ford) washed.

    No jumping here either, If You see me jump something must have startled me as that could end badly.

    Sauces really do help. I suppose You could even call Ketchup a Sauce as well as BBQ sauce. Brown Gravy or white gravy too.

    Today I am opening the Salisbury steaks I bought on Clearance Sunday and threw into the freezer. The listed weight of One pound which I suspect could be low for the two of them means I will be eating them for two days. I will cut each one into thirds and portioning the Gravy and sauteed onions proportionally. One Third with Lunch and another third with Dinner and the last third in a midday snack sandwich. Two days of that and then I need to decide what to pull from the freezer for Sunday. Maybe the Cooked Perdue Chicken breast that was bought when they were on sale.

    Have a Good time at the Gym

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Should be another nice one too. J is off to Savannah to do the photography for an orchid show this weekend. I have a pound of ground beef thawing, though I am not at all sure what my inner Eduardo may make from it. I was thinking maybe spaghetti but often other ideas magically pop up once I get into the kitchen and actually get started. I had initally planned shepherd's pie from the lamb a few days ago but Edweirdo...er Eduardo suddenly had other ideas. LOL!

    Hello Ed
    A free day with nothing that needs doing sounds good to me. I would not make a true Shepherd's Pie and would have used Ground Beef making it a Cottage pie :smile:

    That sort of reminds me of Beefaroni with bits of Mushroom in it :wink:
    It looks so good too. Of course Beefaroni should be in a Tomato based sauce and not a Brown sauce. It also looks a lot like Hungarian Goulash using crumbled hamburger rather than nice chunks of beef.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! I might get out to Aldi and/or Publix today, as it is expected to be a very nice day, but since I don't HAVE to, I probably won't. Someone had said something about getting together sometime on the weekend but I haven't heard anything more and, being the introvert that I am, have no intention of asking. If he really wants to see me, he can pursue it! I did see two different friends yesterday, for short, separate, visits so am not apparently in any immediate danger of becoming a hermit. :wink:

    Good Morning!
    It is going to be sunny...I just know it is...feel it in my bones. Right now it's gray. but no rain expected until overnight.
    Folded the last load of clothes this morning, and have eaten my breakfast & enjoyed my cup of coffee. Also an listening to a segment of a summit on diabetes. Again the message is eat fruit and vegetables...drop the meat, and especially the fat. Story synopsis is, you can control your blood sugars by avoiding carbs, BUT you are not curing your insulin resistance, and therefore you still have diabetes. Now, for my friend M, she's happy just having good numbers...and taking several drugs for diabetes, for cholesterols, etc. I love the message....just not enough people willing to control the actual disease. (the ones who actually follow this way of eating are the ones who have survived a major heart attack, and have heard the message..)

    Roger, I bought a big container of Ceylon Cinnamon, when it rang up it was just for like $3. I stood there for a minute...to tell someone there was a barcode misreading and selling cinnamon way to cheap.. or to take the price and keep my mouth shut??? So, before I could decide the gal monitoring ask if I had a problem...so I told here about the cinnamon...and she said that WAS the correct price. Now, go look at the cinnamon next Costco run, and see what you're paying for it. (would you mind to do that for me?)

    Ed, thanks for the wine info. I rather suspected it was part of you wine club. Ah, well. :)
    Several of your video's to watch... :) but right now I'l listening to a health summit. I missed the original showings, and have only today, and tomorrow to watch the replay...unless of course I fork over about a hundred bucks to own the entire summit...(not gonna happen!)

    Its already looking brighter outside, and I'm going to put on my 'yard work' clothes and blow the driveway red maple carpet, and do a bit of trimming. AND I'm doing to call it my workout for the day. Gym tomorrow...play today!

    Later...

    Simon...ha ha ha
    I've only seen one cat that would actually let its owner bathe it. Growled a bit, but stayed put none the less. And loved the hair dryer. She had long gray hair, and was a great cat. I would keep her when her owner was out of town. Great fun. As for Tom E. I might pack his bag for him....lol!! He's such a mess! Poor kitty.

    Rain early tomorrow. Driveway looks much better, a little bit pine straw to get out of the street gutter. Maybe tonite, maybe next week! Might be good thing to do on April Fools day??? Oh, and there was a dead snake on my driveway. About 6-8 inches, probably an Eastern Garter snake.

    See you all tomorrow!
