Hi!
Lazy Vegan...she wasn't kidding! But glad to know I'm not alone...hahahahha!
Have spent most of my day watching soccer games..few little odds and ends done, but nothing mind blowing.

Roger...Since the 'cup of Shine' episode was 30+ years ago....I'm not terribly concerned about the possibility of drinking styrofoam. I do usually make a new whatever by the recipe the first time. I was considering making a half batch, I think I have a loaf pan that will fit in the toaster oven. (and if I don't like it, I'll still have rice flour for the 'next thing'.

Ed, hope your headache went away. Yours too Roger.I don't know how long you walk...maybe the asprin didn't have time to work?

Heading for the front of the house for a little keeping....LOL! Also will go out to see if the mail has run. Hope so, cuz its about time for the 'Weather Show' to begin. Act 2, very much like Act 1 of yesterday. Maybe not quite as much rain I hope. You can surely tell we have crossed into summer mode down here.

Took the day off from the gym today. But have been walking with the FitBit prompts. (indoors).

Later...

Hi...
it stayed relatively cool...no afternoon high heat = no storms! i.e....it forgot to rain!!! LOL

Somebody within hearing distance is setting off either firecrackers, or set pieces. Too lazy to go look.

Hope they have some fireworks left for the 4th!

Off to bed with a bowl of popped corn to snack on while I play games and read the news...

Tomorrow!!!

Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees. As it has been for the last couple of days it was comfortable to slightly cool outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. As I was walking I was hit by a few small drops of water and around the mid point of the walk it turned into a light drizzle that soon ended.

Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 73 with an expected high of 88 and 50% chance of precipitation.

Might get out to a store today but probably not. Will take a nap if I can.

Hi Ed
I thought about getting out to the grocery store today as I can get the car out of the driveway later on, Then I said, hmm...
I do not need anything so...

Hi Valerie
Toaster Oven to save energy vs using the regular oven compartment ?

The headache sort of abated. Feeling tired I took a nap in the afternoon and it was back, weird

I walk around 90 to 110 minutes so I just average it on a daily basis in the exercise log here on the site.

It appeared that Alabama and Georgia were going to have real bad weather form what I saw on the news weather report.

I hear fireworks in the evening from the ones they shoot off from Patriot Ball Park multiple days of the season. That is where the fireworks we will be viewing on the 4th of July with friends will be shot off.

Our rain pretty much forgot to make it's forecast appearance too.

Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Sunday! 87 with an expected high of 90 and 20% chance of precipitation.

I've been up for hours and hours but distracted by lots of things. Laundry is washing now. I have already been to the store for cat food, milk, stevia sweetener and lunch. I grabbed a turkey and bacon club wedge sandwich while out, on whole grain bread. It was all right but I could have had a better lunch.

Need to get the recycles and the garbage out to the curb at some point and maybe do some watering of plants.

Hey!
Watching FIFA game Japan and Senegal. Missed (slept thru the England Panama game earlier. England won easily, but it was a first for Panama to even be in the games. So, they and the one point they scored were historic. (Ted watched it.) I'm looking forward to the game this afternoon. Columbia and Poland. Should be a good game.
I think I may watch at least part of it while walking the TM this afternoon. Even 4 years ago I couldn't walk the whole game!

I 'may' make the rice bread today, no promises though. And using the smaller pan in the toaster oven will create less heat in the kitchen. I just have issues with running the oven AND the air-conditioner at the same time.

Need to make a salad for lunch, have been eating salads and watery fruit (honeydew and watermelon) at lunch this week. Will need to pick up another quarter watermelon on Monday! Maybe a cantaloupe this week? I had some good peaches last week from Whole Foods. They were smaller, but so sweet!

Hope to see Ed here when I hit post. Unusual not to see his posts before mid morning.

GardenKatGardens · June 2018

Hi Ed.
Hamburger in a can...nasty sounding, and the look on Emmy's face was funny! Ok, don't need that on my grocery list. Loved the looks of the teens eating the Japanese Kit-Kats. Know what would have been fun? to blindfold those kits, cuz they kept expecting chocolate. If they couldn't see the shape, and didn't have that expectation I think it might have had different results!

Glad to see your post! Hope all is well at your house. Looks like rain one minute and sunny the next over here. Mother Nature trying to 'trick/fool' this ole lady.

Hi Ed
I have a 1/4 of a Sub sandwich that I will be eating today, Miracle whip one 40 calories of Sliced Bread and discarding the Sub Roll to reduce calories & carbs. Your Turkey and Bacon Club sandwich sounds tasty TBH.

Some more of the Gladiolus Cormlets, the smaller ones have sprouted and need to be planted. I am going to try these 4 or 5 in a 5 gallon pot filled with Top Soil and see how they compare to the ones planted in the ground.

Hi Valerie
Someone sounds like a Soccer Fan AKA Football to the rest of the world

I can not fault Your logic for using the Toaster oven as long as it can roast properly.

Hmm... Watermelon does sound good, My brother is heading to the ShopRite Grocery Store later today, Maybe I will ask him to look for a small Quarter of Watermelon. Agreed with regard to Ed, However Distractions can happen.

You can see my link to a real world taste test of a real Cheeseburger In A Can from Germany in my post above.
I do not see how it could be real good.

Agreed sometimes not see what You eat helps to get a objective review.

The forecast rain was once again a light spritz that was observable on the the windows and cars, not enough to make the street wet

Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 72 with an expected high of 93 and 20% chance of precipitation. Typical summer day for the area, sounds like.

Not a lot on the agenda. Maybe a trip to the grocery but probably not.
