    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and I found a Quarter while I was walking today. The Temperature out the door was 51 degrees. There is light rain in the forecast for Midday, Oh well.

    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 Ed
    That actually sounds relaxing to me. I may or may not be an introvert OTOH I can not judge myself.

    No free ham yet, for some reason they have not had them at the Grocery Store. We tried Yesterday Morning and the only ones in stock were the Spiral Cut which my brother does not want. According to the Butcher they should have come in on the Afternoon truck so my Brother plans to go today despite being there yesterday :smiley:
    He is afraid that someone might be able to get one based on the money spent to earn it. Last year that caused some headaches and eventually we did get one, OTOH that means someone that did not earn it also got a free ham :(
    APOCALYPSE DINNER | WHOLE CHICKEN IN A CAN, canned BREAD,& Cougar Gold canned CHEESE
    Many, many years ago I made the mistake of buying a whole Chicken in a can, The appearance was ghastly. One of the funniest things I saw on Chopped a cooking contest show was where one of the manditory ingredients was the canned chicken, The expressions on the Chefs faces when the Chicken slid out of the can was priceless.
    The B&M Canned bread is tasty enough and keeps on the shelf for a fair amount of time, The Canned Cheese ?

    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 cholesterol, 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..)
    Good Morning Valerie
    Interesting that despite having good number that You still have the disease ?
    If I tried to pry meat and fatty meats out of my brother's hands I would be in deep Kimchi.
    Most mornings his breakfast starts with bacon in the skillet followed by chopped Onions, and often some sort of Potatoes, Egg and more all cooked at together in the cast iron skillet.
    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!)
    I could look and see what CostCo charges if I remember to do that when I go sometime in possibly Mid April or later.

    $100, I would do without first :wink:
    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...
    So far no red maple blossoms have fallen, OTOH I can see them all over the tree across the street and in next doors yard. The rain forecast for late morning and early afternoon may change that. They are a pain in the neck as they tend to get under the Wiper Blades unless completely removed before turning the wipers on and I believe that they could be slippery when wet too.
    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!
    I am not completely surprised that Tome E. is a mess, Feral than Housecat :smiley:

    Poor Garter Snake, Harmless to us and could be good for the yard IMO.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Cooler today, with a rainy morning forecast, but the hourly forecast looks like the afternoon will be dryer. Once again, I may or may not get out today. I didn't go anywhere yesterday, but I did at least step outside for a bit.

    Good Morning!
    Time is flying by this morning...I've watched only a couple of vids, and more I want to see, and, more articles to look at from Roger's Brother.
    It did indeed rain last night, but not very much. 0.06 inches says the rain gauge. And we should be rain free the rest of the day.
    Ed, today would be a perfect day for any of the grocery stores...Gets you out of the house, and items off the list!
    Tom E. wouldn't even go out earlier this morning, but he did go out for a few minutes just a bit ago. Apparently he is not into damp, chilly, and windy gray days! LOL!
    Few weekend chores and the day will be mine. Hope to listen to at least three more of the 'last chance' video's on diabetes, and also a nap would be nice!

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and I no money as I was walking today. The Temperature out the door was 33 degrees. There was a breeze blowing this morning that took the wind chill into the 20s and felt worse when I was facing into it.
    Still no Ham, Sunday the Butcher said next weekend. What the heck, is there a shortage of Cooks brand Hams or is it a issue with the one store ?

    Hi Ed
    We did have the rain that was forecast yesterday from around 9AM when it started with light sprinkles into the afternoon, Rain amounts were reported to be around 2/10s of an inch. The rain forecast for this week is 0% for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 80% for Friday and 20% for Saturday according to News12 the local cable only news channel. It appears that Your forecast was similar to ours, We had our high for the day at midnight and the temperatures slowly dropped throughout the day and night. The overnight was partially due to the cold front moving through and the rest of it from the clear sky allowing the heat to escape into space.

    Since My brother was going to the market Sunday I added a few things from the Circular and ended up spending $15 on a couple of boxes of cereal, Butter and a breakfast bowl from evol called Smoked Uncured Ham Benedict that was tasty when I tried it last week. If You hold their logo up to the mirror the backwards facing evol becomes love :smiley:

    9 Genius Money-Saving Leftover Recipes
    Since we rarely have leftovers except after holidays...
    I do not count as leftovers the Bargain bin foods I pick up at the Grocery Store as I use them as a protein supplement to my meals. Just saying, Holiday leftovers get eaten after being warmed up and not transformed into something else. BTW my brother would consider using leftover mashed potatoes as part of a Shepherds Pie as wrong. He warms them up in the skillet with gravy.
    15-Minute Dinner Recipes
    interesting, using the Microwave and eating Vegetables, then the Entree followed by a Protein and lastly a fruit I can spend 30 minutes between start to finished. 15 minute recipes, They were not that interesting, Fish, nope, Gnocchi, Nope to starchy, White Chicken Chili, Likely to hot for my tastes.

    Hi Valerie
    Personally I prefer to steer clear of shopping on weekends when the stores will be jammed :wink:

    You nailed most of my sources, sometimes I use news from the side links that are more interesting to me.

    Who is a fan of going out in damp, chilly, and windy gray days ? Not me says Roger, I do it when walking, OTOH it is not me preferred weather, no surprise there.

    I hope You enjoyed the Videos.

    I ran across a sponsored link that was trying to sell something so I closed it as soon as I saw that. The link claimed that Metformin was dangerous, I suspect that Ed has something to say about that.

    Have a Good Day and Week

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! Quite chilly out there but not quite freezing. No chance of precipitation, and supposed to stay a bit on the cool side, with a high of only 15C/58F. I may get out for the few items that I couldn't get at Aldi or Target yesterday (because they don't carry them) but nothing has reached critical just yet.

    A sponsored link claiming Metformin is dangerous isn't going to tell me anything I don't already know and isn't going to sell me their wonder product or get me to question my use of Metformin. I have blood work checked at least 4 times a year and part of that is monitoring for drug side effects.

    Good Morning! It is still Morning...not an April Fools joke!
    Chilly-cold out, sunny enough to cast a shadow, and windy enough to fly a kite! That's GA or the day..
    I tried reading this thread on my phone while I petted Tom E. That didn't work out very well for either of us!
    So, he wanted more food, and I gave him another small can of a 'fishy' pate. He ate about half of it, and then threw it up on the carpet. (should always start you day like this?) So then he wanted out..no objection from me..and he's now sleeping on his pillow on top of the coffee table...my poor house has become a home of convenience for a wild cat. Oh well, he's old, and seems to be happy....

    Need to start a load of laundry. Did one yesterday, so today light clothes and then strip the bed linens. Also will hit the gym this afternoon. And empty the dishwasher.
    I made a 'pot' of greens yesterday to go on top of my rice and beans...Was good...but only enough greens for today's lunch. :(

    Other than that...I'm about done! Have lots of food in the refrigerator, and I want to use a packet of the Veg. Tikka Masala...so I think that will become dinner. Found Masala at a good price at Costco on my trip there on Friday. Or I can save the mixed greens that I cooked to go with the Masala and eat soup at lunch! That would work well!!

    Tomorrow appears to be a better day for outdoors work, so today has become a stay in and clean day...

The A23 is a small 12 volt battery that fits the remote to control 3 remote power on and off switches.

    Hopefully Your weather is better today.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and not one cent was found. The Temperature out the door was 42 degrees. The possibility of rain overnight did not happen here and the forecast breeze is starting up with higher wind gusts in the forecast.

    Good Morning.
    Got tied up with this and that...but I'm here.

    Hello Valerie
    No real plans should make a relaxing day IMO.

    That sounds like You got a refund, When I file I choose the send me a check option as I prefer not to let Turbotax or the IRS have my account information.
    Not as good as the Tax refund which I could actually change my withholding so that nothing is deducted, However the Tax preparer My Brother used until he retired suggested that it was better to have a yearly tax return.
    Monday I got a notice from The Town Property tax office that the NJ Property tax rebate was being credited against the upcoming quarterly property tax, $167 for my half of the house and my brother had a check for the same amount recently, Every little bit helps.

    They look happy with the growing environment, My grandparents always had plants on the windowsill too. I'm sure they brighten up the kitchen a lot. I have a problem keeping anything alive, even a Cast Iron Plant :(

    Sumo Orange, A Jumbo orange species ?

    Have a Good Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's a bit chilly out there right now, but supposed to be quite nice later in the day. I need to get a little laundry going. I did get out yesterday for groceries but may pop out again today as J is on the last 12-pack of his Dew.

    Valerie, let's try to meet up for a coffee (or possibly lunch at Salata?) either on the weekend or next week if we can find a mutually convenient time!

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and not one cent was found. The Temperature out the door was 41 degrees. Despite being 41 degrees there seemed to be a bit of a bite to the air.

    Hello Ed
    I would have thought that a 12 pack would be good enough for a weeks drinking ?
    4 Levels of Hamburgers: Amateur to Food Scientist
    Hamburgers are a tasty food if fixed to the specifications of the person doing the eating no matter the level of expertise. toppings etc. IOWs I want it cooked my way, Which would be well done, No red in the middle and the condiments etc. that I want, That would also include lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles and Ketchup Plus Bacon. And most of the orders will be different depending on my mood.
    Chicken Tikka Masala | Basics with Babish
    Pass on most of the spices so I guess I won't be eating this dish no matter where it is prepared :smiley:
    Hash Brown Benedict • Tasty
    IMO that was a lot of Paprika and Black pepper, Ring mold for something like Hash Browns ? Who has small ring molds like that in their kitchen ? The Hash Browns looked nicely browned and tasty OTOH.
    VEGAN SAVORY DANISHES (APPLE CHEESE & THE EVERYTHING DANISH)
    The Everything Danish just seems wrong, IMO a Danish should be sweet not savory. I will also mention that I am not a fan of Fusion foods. Or to put it another way, don't mess with the classics.
    Opening decades-old canned foods
    Especially do not open bulging containers of food :smiley:
    Tonight's pork loin.

    FWIW The Free Hams at the local Shoprite were once again a no show Sunday and the butcher told my brother they should be in this upcoming weekend, Ha, Same thing he said the week before. It seems to be a store problem, Tuesday I went to a different ShopRite and picked one up from a small selection, They had Shank, Butt and Spiral at that ShopRite.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 7C/45F with an expected high of 23C/73F and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Breakfast was leftover pork loin and all the sides. I have some house cleaning to do today.
