Good Morning! Tuesday.
Roger should be at the hospital/Dr's (?) about now. In my thoughts Roger...hope everything looks good, and whatever the 'issue' is can quickly be fixed!
Ed..you're right. Way to hot for the last day of April. If I had planted broccoli or lettuces this year they would have bolted by now... I do wonder if there is something tasty to do with broccoli flowers?? Is that broccolini is maybe?
Tom E. has converted to 'Mr. Outside who sleeps on the roof' cat. He's so funny. I think he and I both prefer him outside!!
There are currently 2 of those vegan 'burgers' Whole Foods has the Beyond Burger, and now Burger King' Impossible burger is out there. I need to stop by my local BK and try one. I ate the Beyond burger from WF, and was not at all impressed. (may have been my method of cooking , etc...or it could just be not that good) I do remember watching the young lady piling about a dozen of those burgers into her basket. She loved them. She was also a 'new' vegan, so maybe it does taste a lot like beef and my memory of beef is what I didn't like. Who knows???
Ed's right vegans know to not eat regular 'mayo'....I sometimes have a vegan mayo in my refrigerator...but mostly I don't us it. Mustard is my 'go to'...or if I just have to Catsup and Mustard.
I also think I'll poke around on the foodie sites and see if I can find out what makes up this meatless burger.
Today is gym and Costco day. With a quick stop at Publix, (as its on the way) for that parsley I forgot to get yesterday...And Roger, I did get some of my groceries at Walmart while I was there. I just plain forgot the parsley, and it really is an important part of the falafel that I intend to make either this evening, or tomorrow.
Ok, I'm off. Will check in later to see if Roger has posted.
Later...0 -

J finds the vegan "meat" balls from Dollar Tree to be acceptable. As with Mr. Wolfe, the cooking time to get them good and hot, with a slightly crisp exterior, was a bit longer than stated on the packaging.
Vegetarians won't care about the mayo on the Impossible Burger and vegans generally know to order any burger without the mayo, unless the restaurant is a vegan restaurant anyway, as most regular eateries just won't find it cost effective to keep vegan "mayo" on hand. I don't know how long the shelf life is but suspect they would end up tossing a lot of it.
88 degrees in April, What is happening. My guess is that many people will turn on the AC and find out that it needs to be repaired. It happens every year around here with the first use of the AC and the Heat in the fall.
TBH I look at heating times as a suggested place to start experimenting to get the right temperature.
You could be right, OTH if the Vegan never had a Whopper would they know it comes with Mayo ? I also wonder how good the Vegan Mayo tastes.

I did post early Tuesday Morning and here I am again.
I hope it is a nothing burger that they are looking at. Until the test results are in there is no way to know what the issue is IMO.

Is Costco for the bread or fuel for the car. I am all about not running around more than necessary. Off to my local doctor today for a follow up from the hospital stay and I should hear from the doctor that ordered the test later today or tomorrow.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Another hot one, but not as hot as yesterday was. They are going to be working on drainage for the upcoming sidewalk, garbage pickup is today, and we are expecting our new SIM cards to be delivered today, so we can switch over from Verizon to Google Fi. We won't be able to use the driveway for a few hours while they are working.

Hi and Good Wednesday Morning!
I've been 'stuck' here at my computer...Good and Bad. Reading a NYT series on Japan, the monarchy, etc. It caught my interest...have read the first 4 of the 5 part series...and guess what? I can't get the 5th article because NYT limits your freeby reading to 4! So, what to do? I've emailed the first of the series to Ted, hoping he might be interested....maybe I can get him to email the 5th one to me.... we'll see how this turns out!
Tom E. seems to be quite happy outdoors, and you're right Roger...he is not a trip hazard! As for his love of the roof....the roof of the screened porch is shaded just enough that he can always find a shady place. And there is lots of shade in the 'ground floor', or back yard for a cat wanting to be in the shade. Also there's the woods. Not to worry about him. His mother (the wild cat) was around for about 5 years and did a great job of teaching her babies survival skills, hunting skills, etc.
Ed, I hear you about the hair...I am not missing that cat hair one bit. Tom E. has long hair on his back, and short hair on his head, belly, and legs. Also since he is both white and black no matter what I put down to protect my couch, chairs, etc...one or the other of those cat hairs is always in abundance!
I'm still parsley less. Yesterday after gym I went to Costco...I also forgot to go to the market next to the gym so today I ate my last ripe banana. I really MUST get them today. (for whatever reason Roger, the taste test prefers the banana's from the Mex. Market.) shrug...don't know why. THey just taste better..more like banana!
I think today will be Kroger...I'd like a mixed container of cut fruit (lazy) and of course there is the parsley....and a few other items. I need to put a list in my phone...and stick to it!!
Ted is coming out tomorrow for lawn care day.... And when I talked to Jack, I learned that not only did Nate's team win the game and move up in the playoffs, but Nate scored the winning goal...WOW!, and Grammie missed it. Will be going this weekend for sure. Its in the same area as the ice rink so I can't complain about how far away it is, now can I???
Ok, some standing and moving time, and then its watch the noon news, and head to the gym...and a grocery store!
Later...
Roger hope you get good news today from your Doc.

We have successfully moved over from Verizon to Google Fi, which should save us a bit on our cell phones.
The construction company is starting to work on the driveway now to install whatever they need to install today for the sidewalk. So we are not going anywhere for the next few hours.

Hi
Some chances of rain throughout the week, looking outside it appears that there was light rain overnight. It is 51degrees outside and I do have the heat turned back on. I had my test Tuesday in the outpatient section of the hospital, The results should be available later today.

I suppose my main worry regarding Google is that it is not our friend. I even switched for most searches to bing.com so as not to have Google know even more than it does about me.

That sort of thing is not uncommon these days with newspapers. They let You read several articles for free then subscribe or no more until the next month. I have gotten around that by using two browsers which lets me view twice as many free. Their other trick is let you read enough to become interested than wham, pay up please to read the rest of the article.
That makes sense that there is enough shade to let him be comfortable.Ed, I hear you about the hair...I am not missing that cat hair one bit.

I hope I get good news too, Wish me luck. I plan to sign up with the patient portal in a little while and see exactly what it tells me as well as call the GI doc later for results.

In case anybody is curious
The hospital food was OK. Once they let me eat solids They have people that visit the rooms and take the meal orders from a selection. What was semi annoying was the there seemed to be no predictable time it was delivered, sometimes early and sometime a bit late.
I broke down and tried the Mashed potatoes and gravy and I was somewhat surprised that the potatoes were not instant.
One Menu I ordered
2 pats of butter, for the potatoes.
4 oz. Rice Pudding, Kozy Shack brand
8 oz. Chicken Noodle Soup
8 oz. Coffee with creamer, Fake Cream, Yuck
4 oz. Chicken Marsala
1/2 Cup Green beans
4 oz. Mashed potatoes with gravy.
1 slice orange slice.
So not to bad.Friday 4-19s dinner.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Another hot one with no chance of precipitation. Laundry today.
The sidewalk and curb will obliterate the current shallow drainage ditch along the roadside. They have to install some other method of drainage. The lower front yard is full of enormous pieces of concrete conduit that will presumably be used for that purpose.
As there is a fairly steep slope down to the street they will also have to level enough of the yard and driveway to allow installation of the sidewalk, and re-slope the remaining driveway to accommodate the sidewalk, while still allowing vehicles to get in and out without tearing their undersides and bumpers off. We already have to angle our entry and exit just right to avoid scraping the front bumper.
It will be interesting to see how they manage all this.

Good Morning!
Listening to a podcast about our food SYSTEM...not what to eat, but how the very system that feeds us is failing us. Not a very cheerful podcast.
Ted is arriving in about 45 minutes and we will work on the yard once again. Not sure what he has in mind for this days activities..will know shortly!
I hereby swear I will NEVER buy another container of pre-sliced or chunked fruit from Kroger again...not ever. I bought one yesterday, and the only edible thing in it was the 4 chunks of watermelon. Both the cantaloupe and the honeydew were harder than concrete. I'm toying with the idea of returning it to them. I've had this happen before, you'd think that I would learn. I keep hoping they'll improve...silly me.
We seriously need some rain here. Maybe tomorrow, I hope. Apparently they got rain again at oldest son's house day before, and the weather human last night said that once again the rain will be west of I-85. Need I say I'm EAST of 85?

Hi
Some chances of rain today. It is 52degrees outside and I turned the heat on to take the chill off of the rooms. Despite that I had my test Tuesday in the outpatient section of the hospital, I still do not have the results. Is that good or bad, I do not know. I shall call the doctors office again, when I called yesterday I was told I should get a phone call later that day.

When I looked at the weather forecast for today it was predicted that the temperature would not hit 60 degrees, The Atlanta area appears to have captured the east coast warm weather
I should do Laundry, Motivation is lacking and at least I have several days of clean clothes so no biggie if I do not do the laundry.
Ah ha, That drainage ditch sounds like what we had when I was in grade school out west. Good Luck with the re-sloping of Your driveway, It sounds as if it might be worse than before.

In what way is our food system failing us ? Is the Podcast free ? If so post a link please.
I blame the producer of the fruits more than the store, they have to use what is delivered and melons are generally picked before they ripen to reduce shipping losses, Tomatoes also.

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Hot today with 40% chance of rain. As they have left a large pile of sand blocking the (not yet replaced) drainage ditch, I certainly hope they get some work done today. As it stands, if we get much rain, there will be a small pond at our driveway that may dissolve the sand driveway we currently don't enjoy, and could even cover some of the road. The creek that it drains into is just a few yards further along the yard. All they would need to do is push the sand up a little farther into our yard. The creek runs down the south side of our yard, going under the road there, as that is the lowest part of the road on this section.

Good morning, happy Friday!!
partly cloudy, 74 degrees...will rain sometime today..(so they say)...
Ted and I got a good bit done yesterday. I have a few things to do which is fine. He grubbed out the monkey grass and other trash stuff growing in my front of house bed, leaving the azalea's, 2 hydrangea's, a couple ground covers that I especially like and my gardenia...then in went 6 bags of mulch. Looks nice! I made it thru about 2.5 hours of outdoors and was wiped out. So...Ted finished up his stuff and went home, I had lunch and a rest, didn't actually sleep. Then on to the gym to use the rehab elliptical, picked up 2 ears of corn and a cut half of a watermelon from the market...ate my dinner, fed cat twice??? hungry tonite, and cut up the melon so I could get the rinds out to the curb and...I went to bed!!! Big active day for this ole gal.
Roger, try this for an address to Dr. Mark Hyman's pod cast...I had several options to send it, but would have needed your email, etc...so I copied it..hopefully correctly (I couldn't even copy paste it as the minute I took my mouse off the podcast name, the address would go away???)
Anyhow, for what its worth...
https://drhyman.com/blog/2019/05/01/podcast-ep51
hope that works. I found it interesting as I grew up in MO, on a farm that was over 300 acres, and considered 'small' even for the 50s'& 60s'. My brother now owns a farm in central MO and has a huge chunk of land...that he farms out for a fee. and his daughter, my niece teaches hight school agriculture classes in MO...so I can relate to an awful lot of the podcast. Dr. Hyman has/is not one of my 'go to' doc's. He is however plant based. My argument with him is his use of oils and fats. I much prefer to not do 'added fats'. (and since I don't eat cheese, butter, etc its pretty easy for me!) I DO love my avocado, fatty little globs of green heaven..but those are not to be considered 'added' fats..(and in the interest of losing a couple pounds limit my avo addiction to one avocado per month!)
Ed, I do not envy you the mess they have left in your yard. I'd suggest you check your 'larder' and hit the grocery for supplies thru at least Monday. Probably Tues to be honest... If they work today it will likely be a 'short' day, and then weather dependent, they'll be back..hopefully.
Going to start a load of clothes, or may wait until after gym...mmmm. yeah, wait til after gym!
Later guys...

Hi
Some chances of rain throughout the weekend with the heavier rain Tomorrow. It is 52degrees outside and I turned the heat on to take the chill off of the rooms. I still do not have the results. Is that good or bad, I do not know. I called the doctors office again, Thursday, I was told I should get a phone call Tuesday and that the results have not been read.

I see that the Bobcat has been busy ruining Your driveway. I wonder what the one oddball concrete piece is for ? Since that is a bed of sand I would be afraid of driving through accumulated water unless You can see the bottom if it does flood there.
Still more heat for both of You, and we are still below norms here. I can hear the furnace busily burning up Money as it heats the house up to take the chill off. This room is 65 degrees currently and once it hits 72 degrees I'll turn off the heat for the day.Keto Lemon Chicken With Asparagus - Easy 6 Ingredient Low Carb RecipeThe Best Low Carb Ice Cream Recipe | Easy Keto Ice CreamCheese Dips | Basics with BabishStarbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites Made Keto FriendlyEasy Mexican Beans | THE HAPPY PEAR

partly cloudy, 74 degrees...will rain sometime today..(so they say)...
Ted and I got a good bit done yesterday. I have a few things to do which is fine. He grubbed out the monkey grass and other trash stuff growing in my front of house bed, leaving the azalea's, 2 hydrangea's, a couple ground covers that I especially like and my gardenia...then in went 6 bags of mulch. Looks nice! I made it thru about 2.5 hours of outdoors and was wiped out. So...Ted finished up his stuff and went home, I had lunch and a rest, didn't actually sleep. Then on to the gym to use the rehab elliptical, picked up 2 ears of corn and a cut half of a watermelon from the market...ate my dinner, fed cat twice??? hungry tonite, and cut up the melon so I could get the rinds out to the curb and...I went to bed!!! Big active day for this ole gal.
I thought I had given You and Ed my Email ? You could also put anything into a PM here on the forum.
You were active, more so than I would be if the dang rain ever stops falling, we have Dahlias saved from last year that need planting, Hopefully they are still viable, we packed them in peat moss and sprinkled that throughout the winter.
Getting rid of the watermelon rinds is a good idea, We had them sit in the garbage to long one year, what a stinky, messy and smelly bag of garbage that was.Roger, try this for an address to Dr. Mark Hyman's pod cast...I had several options to send it, but would have needed your email, etc...so I copied it..hopefully correctly (I couldn't even copy paste it as the minute I took my mouse off the podcast name, the address would go away???)
Anyhow, for what its worth...
https://drhyman.com/blog/2019/05/01/podcast-ep51
hope that works. I found it interesting as I grew up in MO, on a farm that was over 300 acres, and considered 'small' even for the 50s'& 60s'. My brother now owns a farm in central MO and has a huge chunk of land...that he farms out for a fee. and his daughter, my niece teaches high school agriculture classes in MO...so I can relate to an awful lot of the podcast. Dr. Hyman has/is not one of my 'go to' doc's. He is however plant based. My argument with him is his use of oils and fats. I much prefer to not do 'added fats'. (and since I don't eat cheese, butter, etc its pretty easy for me!) I DO love my avocado, fatty little globs of green heaven..but those are not to be considered 'added' fats..(and in the interest of losing a couple pounds limit my avo addiction to one avocado per month!)
The going away thing must be Your browser as it stay highlighted if I move the cursor off of the address and at that point I can Ctrl-C (Copy) and copy it to put somewhere else with a Ctrl-V (paste)
Hmm... Both my brother and I feel that people need some fats in their diet. Added Fats, probably not. Cheese on a burger could be considered a added fat by some. I do buy Water Pack Chicken or Turkey in cans and He buys Water pack Tuna.
Darn it I meant to hit the scale this morning, Too late now after I ate a really tasty NS Cinnamon Roll.Ed, I do not envy you the mess they have left in your yard. I'd suggest you check your 'larder' and hit the grocery for supplies thru at least Monday. Probably Tues to be honest... If they work today it will likely be a 'short' day, and then weather dependent, they'll be back..hopefully.
Going to start a load of clothes, or may wait until after gym...mmmm. yeah, wait til after gym!
Later guys...
Now looking at it You would never know except that there is a water service shutoff in the yard. They even had a yard service spread straw and seed.
Bottom line I hope Ed is as lucky.GardenKatGardens wrote: »8:06 and the sky is rumbling....the fun is coming!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It should be pretty warm, with a 50% chance of scattered showers. After chucking the forecast early, I am already back from Kroger and the groceries are already put away. I put the ground beef in the freezer, but the two pound package of ground beef/ground pork mixture is in the fridge. I'll probably use at least some of it for lunch today, possibly cooking it all up so that dinner and more meals are also half prepared. I bought carrots, Vidalia onions, yogurt, milk, eggs, cheese, paper towels and some of J's precious Mountain Dew Throwback that was on sale.
I also have a sirloin tip roast moved to the refrigerator to thaw and prepare in a few days.
J is back in Kentucky, as his mother has a colonoscopy scheduled next week.

J is back in Kentucky, as his mother has a colonoscopy scheduled next week.
FWIW We had rain showers until Saturday afternoon followed by overnight rain which is still falling. I did not bother looking out during the overnight hours as I could hear the rain hitting the window AC unit.
I know a lot of people use a mix of ground meat for meatloaf, myself I always preferred Ground Beef only. Throw in some Eggs, Seasoned Italian Bread Crumbs and put some onion slices and Ketchup on top and bake. Precooking makes for a easy prep later on and should extend the shelf life too.
Do they Make Vadalia Onion Pies in the Atlanta area, I'm guessing the answer is yes.
I like a good Beef roast.
I hope the Colonoscopy goes well for his mother. I'm getting some push from my local doctor to have one done

Hello Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! A bit cooler today with 20% chance of rain. I still have half of the beef and pork mixture and it will make something today. Perhaps meatloaf or chili. Yesterday I had two different meals from it. For lunch, I made some small (slider size), seasoned patties and ate them with fried eggs. For dinner, I made a sort of black eyed pea and meat stew. I browned some of the meat, added a can of black eyed peas and some seasoning, and simmered for about 20 minutes. It turned out quite tasty, and provided plenty of protein, and enough carbs, with a good amount of fiber.
I guess I'll find out tonight what the remainder ends up turning into.
