It's wonderful Wednesday! Need to water certain indoor plants (and one outdoor plant) today. And take a nap.

Good morning!
Brushed and brushed Tome E. Have abut half a kittens worth of air. Didn't get his belly and hind legs. He'd had enough, and let me know it!
Laundry going, both machines, dishwasher unloaded, just finishing my breakfast of avo toast, banana, and mushroom coffee.
Need to fold and put away the washed and dried laundry later this afternoon, and I think I'm good on out door watering, as I did that yesterday evening. I spilled coffee the other day talking to M and trying to bump up the a/c temp from its night time low setting...so its 'drag out the carpet steamer'. And the best bit will by my NAP!
Amazing how I've transitioned from no naps to 'I Want My Nap'. Oh well, all good supposedly!

For dinner tonight, I put some ingredients in a Crock Pot, simmered all day on low, and turned out a pot of delicious, vegan chili.
Well, it was vegan until I served my bowl up...I separately browned some ground beef with a little salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, for mine and put some of that in the bottom of my bowl. Then I added some of the chili, and some sharp Cheddar. So much for vegan! And the cheese blew away any chance of Kosher as well. LOL!
As my chili CON CARNE was quite delicious, I have no problem with that.

Good Morning!
Thought I'd surprise you!!
Drinking coffee, trying to 'order' my day. List goes like gym, Kroger, Publix, Whole Foods. Not all in one day. So, need to figure out what today, and what can wait for tomorrow. Exciting, huh?
Looks great out the window. Haven't stuck my nose out though. I see by my app that its 73 degrees already. Not bad, but better if less than 70's!
Have a great day, oh, and I want a big dish of Grandpa's Avocado, Tomato and Cuke salad! That did look tasty!
Later...0 -
It's thrilling Thursday! I might be trotting out to Kroger myself today. Lunch will likely be leftover chili, possibly made into chili mac, just to add a little variety.

Going to be a hot one today! Not much on the agenda though so it's all right I guess.

Good Morning!
Heading out in a minute or three to the gym, and then to Whole Foods, cuz I want some Heirloom Tomatoes. (Kroger didn't have any when I was there yesterday
One big juicy one sliced, to eat with mayo (vegan kind) on toasted bread! I love tomatoes that way...the other to cut up along with cuke's, etc like Grandpa made in his video!
Other than that, I'm goofing off today!

Looks like Mother Nature has another hot one planned for us today! We have orchid photography.

Good Morning!
Ted's coming out to cut grass today. We're starting at 9:00, it will already be hot, but not into the 90's hot!
Puzzlement....the comb I've been using to comb out Tom E.'s fur coat has mysteriously disappeared! I looked for it yesterday evening, and its nowhere to be found on the screened porch. Trying to guess who stole it. Raccoon ?, possum ?, or maybe I have another 4 footed intruder? (doubtful)
So, guess I'll be picking up banana's AND a new comb or two today at the market! Do you remember when they stole the warm pad in the cat's box a few winters ago? Wild animals are weird.
I see both the little dogs from new neighbors are prancing thru my yard this morning. Yesterday poor Tom E. was on my sidewalk at the front porch, checking to see if the front door would magically open and he could come in...when the chase was on....both Tom E. and that black little dog in a dead heat running flat out. Tom E. knew where the hole in the fence is, and was in the back yard, safe and sound! Hope that little black dogger never catches poor old Tom...I'm afraid from the attitude I've see from the black dog, it would kill Tom. So its 'Run Tom, Run. around here.
Ok, ted should be here in about 10 minutes, and I need to finish dressing.
Today's goals...gym and market, and yard.
Oh, guess how I spent $99.00 at Whole Foods yesterday???? Really wasn't that difficult either

Oh, I forgot to post this here last night.
Restaurant FOOD REVIEW
Udipi Café
3300 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Suite J
Duluth, GA 30096
Everything is vegetarian, and many dishes can be made vegan, if they are not already vegan.
Disclaimer: We used GrubHub for delivery, so did not test the restaurant itself, only the food. They are not afraid to spice it up a bit, but I'm sure they could adjust the spice level, on request! Really good food, and plenty of it. We plan to eat at the restaurant in the near future.
We had the appetizer assortment platter, and liked all the appetizers in that, as well as the sambar soup. We followed with the bindhi fry, the aloo ghobi, and the paneer makhani, all of which were quite good and fairly spicy.
Definitely a keeper for our list of vegetarian places to eat.

Good Morning!
I have no idea why I'm up, dressed, and drinking my coffee...I've already eaten my banana...???? Maybe its so I can have a long afternoon nap? LOL!
Other than gym, I have no real intentions today. Hmmm. Wonder what I can get into??
Hope your day goes well, and you're not out in the heat.
Later...0 -
It's another hot one. I see a post while I was eating breakfast. I will probably get out in it after I finish my tea, because there are a few grocery items I should buy. Might do some laundry. Probably not.

Hey Ed,
Lest I forget. Aug. 5th, Grandpa made a tomato, avocado, cuke salad...I finally got all the ingredients together on this day...and that salad was delicious. Makes the salad dressing with lemon, a smidge (or more if you eat oils), some spices....it was so good, that I made it all over again to go with dinner!! LOL!
It calls for Coriander Leaves...don't let it fool you...Coriander leaves is Cilantro I'm sure you know that...just saying! (maybe cuz I spent 15 minutes looking at all my spices before my brain kicked in. ) 0 -
Howdy. Already reaching for that heat out there. I do need to get out to take care of a couple of things today.

Howdy. It's going for the record today, heatwise at least, for the year. I will do my best to be out as little as possible.

Good Morning from hot lanta!
Although it did cool off here after about 8p. From Ted, I gather it didn't get that way even at nine. (dog last walk of the day)
Heading for the gym, and a quick in and out at Publix, then home for the dayl
Stay indoors and cool. August is a long. hot. disagreeable. month!
Can't wait to watch Grandpa and what looks like a shovel full of spaghetti!

Saw this on my morning news feed. Kinda neat how we create a mess, and then invent a 'work around', and think how smart we are.

It's already ridiculously hot out there. I have already been missing Roger's posts, as he had been offline so long, but would like to continue posting here, as we can easily share links and/or videos that others might find interesting. I know we tend to stray a LOT from weight loss/maintenance, but we really don't know who may be lurking. There could be others who are finding us at least slightly entertaining. I hope Roger has a really high speed internet connection in Heaven, because he has a lot to catch up on here! I gotta stop typing now before I start getting my tea salty.

Good Morning Ed
I think you made a good point, though we do tend to meander about, we may very well be entertaining. (or maddening) to any dedicated NS'ers!!
For someone on a low salt diet, I think I salted most of the food I ate today. We are going to miss Roger.
I'm glad you want to continue checking in each morning.
I did make it to the gym this morning and did my elliptical stuff, skipped a trip to the grocery..which means I HAVE to go tomorrow. (not really THAT urgent, but), I've had my nap, did my core workout, and just now have closed out the 3 rings of my Apple Watch exercise...Just for reference, they are: one for standing up once every hour and moving around, (Ted hates that one!). LOL! The second ring is for how many minutes I've exercised. As far as I know they are following the current thinking that we should exercise a minimum of 30 minutes every day, I know mine came set at 30 minutes, and I haven't seen a way to increase it...today I topped out at 56 minutes....and the last ring is how many calories burned. My minimum is now set at 480..today so far I've attained 509 calories, and of course any moving around, breathing, etc will increase that number until midnite.
So, I'm pretty much as healthy as I will get today! (Big Grin)! Can't predict tomorrow.
I'm going back now to watch a couple video's. Happy Pear looks interesting, WHAT is Grandpa doing today?, and Emmy's eating cake? OK! I can't see that last one, unless perhaps thats a bean burger!, and a river of melted cheddar!! I do still miss cheese. Though Follow My Heart cheese products make it bearable! I'm not sure that now, after 7 years that I even still like real cheese!!! Don't think I'll push my luck and try it though...
See you tomorrow.

Good Morning Ed!
I just watched the Vegan Mystery Box video..what a hoot!!
Last night, though the temp was still up in the 80's, Tom E. and I sat on the porch swing for quite awhile. It had just 'rained'...buckets,( if you're using Barbie Doll buckets). I didn't even get a tenth of an inch. But with the box fan running, it really was quite pleasant.
I think I'm going to make another Whole Foods run after gym. My original plan was gym really early, and then hit Publix, but I REALLY want a couple more of the Heirloom Tomatoes, and hence, WF it will be. Wish me and my debit card a lot of luck at checkout!
And its trash night, so I hope to spend the afternoon gathering a bunch of stuff I've been piling up in various areas and get them into a big black trash bag!
OOPS, excuse me...watch says I gotta move...be back in a minute!
Back again...this is sorta like the film clips in the Mystery Box video...anyhow, (some of those were hilarious).
I think that will pretty much be my day...oh, and a nap!
You can post the carnivorous posts by the way, won't bother me, and I'm so used to looking at online, newspaper, cookbook, etc recipes that my eyes usually just reads a vegan sub for that item!!! LOL! And as you said, there may be other lurkers out there who would like seeing them...and I def. like seeing your dinner pix!
Ok, time is elapsing, and I need to feed Tom E. .... wowza, I bought a different can of food. Its I don't know what...Purina makes it. and it says with tuna and egg...but it doesn't say WHAT IT IS, with tuna and egg, but its nearly twice the size of what Tom E normally eats, and I thought it would make 2 dinners. HA! No, he eats the whole can...3 days straight no less!!! Cat never seizes to amaze me. (or frustrate me)...
See you in the morning...or maybe even sooner, ya never know!!

Howdy. It's fantastic Friday! Another hot one! I need to get some laundry going. And feed the cats. I might get out today for a few groceries but nothing has gone critical as yet.

Good Morning Ed,
Finishing up my breakfast, (avo toast and a banana) and mushroom coffee too, of course
Yep, skies are clear..its gonna be hot, but hopefully not record breaking!
Gym and odds and ends around here today. One of those being cleaning the trash cart.
If you go out, just be mindful that it really is hot out there! Danger! Danger! Will Smith!!! I hope you remember that from early TV. Probably the first 'robot' I ever saw on TV.
Enjoy your day!0 -
Beans are baking in the oven. Yes, there is a pool party this afternoon! Looks like 60 people on the list, but some will not show, and a few will add on at the last minute.
I got all the laundry done and put away yesterday.

Good Morning Ed,
Thanks for the link to see Roger's pix. Funny after all this time we'd never seen a pix of him.
Have a great time at the pool party, I'll bet there won't be bean one to bring home!
Couple of the video's to watch later.
So far my morning has escaped...I've replaced a light bulb over the tub in my bathroom...(that a bigger challenge than you may imagine. I have to use a step ladder) and I spent some quiet time with Tricky Tom E this morning. Tricky? you might ask?....little brat, I fixed his breakfast and called and called, no Tom E. I went into the back yard, and called, no Tom E. Cat! Out the other side of the screened porch, walked around the house...no cat to be found. As I'm going back to the screened porch I hear some meowing....and there in the doorway to the porch stood my goofy cat, meowing. (I think he's becoming senile. Yesterday he stood at the open door to the front room, meowing til I came to see about the carrying on...(he knows that door should be closed) Seems like everything needs to be same old same old, no moving of objects or unclosed doors, etc. Anyway, spent about an hour just talking to and petting the old guy. and so went the morning!
I had another tomato sandwich...yes, for breakfast! Along with a handful of sprouts, and of course a banana, and I had to reheat the mushroom coffee...It was all good! Not typical, but who cares? LOL!
My Dark Sky weather app shows a rainy week coming up. 83% chance one day most days 40% or so. We'll see if that plays out. Could use the rain, for sure.
Ed, what has happened with your front yard. Did they come back and finish the job? or is it stil a work in progress? Just curious. If done would love to see a pix if its finished!
See you after while!
