My bread machine and I made this today. To be fair, it did most of the work but I DID have to lift that heavy bag of flour...and I resisted cutting into it hot, waiting for it to cool COMPLETELY before slicing off a thin end to eat with butter.

Hi!
ITs been a long, but fun day! Chiro this morning, and lunch with Ted at RThomas...always good food there!
Home, nap, then I FINALLY made it to the gym...home, dinner, and now here. On my way to bed.
Oh, there was a brief moment of sanity, and I do have a load of gym clothes almost ready for the dryer. May wait to put them in the dryer til tomorrow though.
Bread looks delicious Ed. Have a small slice WITH butter for me, ok?
The pulled BBQ eggplant looked pretty amazing too. May have to try that when the weather breaks and I Want to run the oven some chilly morning!
Roger, sorry to know that the squirrels got more of your berries than you. Dratted little tree rats. Looks like you may have to invest in some netting to keep the little furry thieves out of your berry patch!

Hi
I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 76 degrees and semi comfortable while walking despite the light breeze due to humidity IMO.
As I was passing the church I noticed one large and two small deer eating the churches lawn.

Intermittent problems were also the hardest to find the cause of when I was doing computer repairs.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 78 with an expected high of 92 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Just dropped my car off at the shop (again) for the same problem. Clearly there is a short somewhere in the electrical harness, but it may take them some time to locate just where. Started acting up on the way to my cousin's funeral two Saturday's ago, and all the way back from it. So for 20 miles on the way, and 40 on the way back, it was fun (not) listening to chirps, dings, beeps, etc., and watching dash lights flicker, go off, come back on, and then steady for a while, only to start all over.
Each time, so far, they have fixed something that NEEDED fixing anyway, so I have no issues with the shop. They do good work and charge a fair price. I know that these kind of intermittent problems can be hell to find as they can test a given bit and everything seems fine, because they didn't happen to test it at JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT when it was acting up.
Don't know how long it will be in this time. I may have to rent a car to drive to Memphis for the funeral of a good friend who died in her sleep on the 12th. Arrangements have not been made yet, so don't know when it will be. Even if I were to get my van back in time, I think I'd rather rent for this trip, as the van won't have been road tested on a long(ish) trip yet.
To the good at least it keeps running while the trouble is manifesting and does not leave You calling AAA or some towing company.
I am sorry to hear about Your friends upcoming funeral. Just curious would Bus, Train, or a flying equal in money the rental cost.
I seem to prefer Kraft Dinner or Commercially made Mac & Cheese to what I have managed to make at home. My home made never seems to be a tasty.Already cleaned cat bowls from yesterday, and the cats and I have all been fed. The LYFT back from the shop was only $7.60 and I added a $2.00 for the driver's tip.
Dinner last night was very late, as I was just about to get something started when I found out about my friend's death, and then didn't REALLY want anything but eventually had to make something to eat with my evening medication, and of course to feed J who doesn't mind eating very late like that. I'd prefer to eat earlier but am OK with occasionally having a very late dinner. Needless to say it wasn't too long after dinner when I went to bed. I ended up just making a quick macaroni and cheese in spicy white cheese sauce. It was good. Took care of needs.
J had two servings last night and I finished it off this morning for breakfast.
Your post led me to look and and sure enough what I suspected has happened, The price is the same and the weight is less. Now they weigh 9.43 ounces vs thisAlso discovered this morning, in moving the hot dogs to get to the cheese, that what USED to be a 7 pack of Hebrew National mostly fat free dogs has turned into a 6 pack. I thought the wrong amount was left in the package I had opened the other day and knew J wouldn't have eaten one, thought back to when I had eaten from it, and how many and concluded that either I had eaten one in my sleep, a burglar had broken in and eaten just a hot dog and nothing else, or they had reduced the package size. A quick look at the front of the package verified the latter. I don't have any issue with this, and an even number makes it easier to come out even with the buns, if one eats buns with their hot dog. It was just a surprise because I had expected to get 7.

Once again a hidden price increase, It appears that this happened a little while ago as both the latest package I bought Sunday and the older ones in the freezer are the same smaller size

Tuesday I tried something I had seen on TV commercials and cooking shows where they put a butter pat on a steak. So I tried putting some softened butter on the Chicken Breast I warmed up in the Microwave.
Have a Good Day

Whatever a RThomas is, Chain Food or ??
The Tree Rats ate a lot more than I managed to get as they eat them when they are only approaching ripe. My Brother mentioned that maybe something like Rabbit netting next year.
If the bread was cold I would likely butter a thick slice and then Microwave it to a warm condition.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 71 with an expected high of 91 and 20% chance of precipitation. In other words, a normal August day here for this year.
Breakfast this morning (no pictures-I was hungry and ate it up quickly) was comfort food. Two eggs, sunny side up. One slice of toast (from my home made bread), buttered and using up the last of the berry preserves in the fridge, and some crispy cooked bacon ends and pieces. Valerie, I'm considering that to be "your" slice. It was delicious! LOL.
As I just opened the bacon this morning, there is lots of it left for future use as bacon or as seasoning meat in beans or whatnot.
I like the cost of the ends and pieces but since it's not packaged up in nice, evenly arranged, slices, it can be a bit awkward getting it out of the package, and the thickness of the pieces isn't terribly consistent either. Still, it tastes just fine, albeit a bit salty, but most bacon is a bit salty.
Oliver was out most of the day yesterday, mingling, though the other cats still want nothing to do with him. They'll come around, I'm sure. We hear hissing whenever he gets too close to one of them. For the moment I put him back into "his" bathroom, where he spent the night as we didn't want to sleep in an armed camp last night. Perhaps on Friday night we'll take that step. He has discovered the kitchen counters so I have to check on breakables that he might decide to knock over or even off.
He's been out some this morning already but right now all the felines are feeding. Oliver, in the safety of his room, and the other three in the master bathroom where they always have their food bowls. I need to find a place in there for Oliver's food bowl too, as he's likely moving out of the hall bathroom as of Friday night.
Need to clean up yesterdays cat bowls and then await my package with my mail order (UPS actually) prescription.
Once again the endocrinologist's office called that scrip in to Walgreen's instead of CVS/Caremark mail order and then, when Walgreen's was in the process of filling it and told me they only had a partial order ready for pickup, insisted that she had (presumably personally?) faxed it to CVS/Caremark and was confused about how that one could possibly have been sent to Walgreen's. I am not angry about the mistake, but I am a little *KITTEN* off that she wouldn't own up to it either time she made this mistake. How about just, "Oh, I'm sorry, I must have sent it to the wrong pharmacy. Let me take care of that." instead of "I'm confused. I sent it to the right place!" when that is patently untrue.
I, of course, called Walgreen's and cancelled the order entirely and, since the dingbat at the doctor's office can't seem to get this right, I'm hoping that I will be able to (as done this time) request the refill directly through CVS/Caremark, to make sure it's at the right pharmacy, even when they need a new prescription...sigh.
Still, I always tell her how much I appreciate the time she spends for me at the doctor's office, gritting my teeth as I do, and really wanting to talk to the Doctor and tell him he needs to replace her with someone a bit more competent who will actually take responsibility for her own mistakes. Having been a "boss" I do know how difficult it can be to get a staff who are all really good fits for the job requirements.
Oliver is crying to get out of the bathroom now. I guess I'll let him back out and hope for the best.

The REAL reason steak houses are disappearing. Or is it? Haven't watched yet, but maybe everyone has figured out that spending $60 for a $15 steak is not really very cost effective and cooking a steak at home is really not difficult?

Roger, I'm sure you could make a tastier home made mac and cheese. You just need to learn how! Might try browsing the internet for techniques and recipes.

Hey, hey,hey!!
Its not even noon!!
Sorry Roger, R Thomas, is a local 24 hour restaurant in midtown ATL...right on Peachtree St! ..literally only a sidewalk from table to street. Makes for some interesting watching as you eat. (Ted got a veg. burger that's house made, and a side of their cottage potatoes...(i've eaten the burger, and it's good!) He made up for lack of veggies for this vegetarian by getting a glass of just pressed carrot, apple &______., juice. Have had that too..delicious.
The indoor, (enclosed patio) decor is pure 60's!! They also have animal flesh for those who eat it. Marietta was always afraid she'd get something that was 'like' chicken, but wasn't!!! Will have to give the wait staff credit...for every answer they were assuring her that what she ordered would be 'real chicken' not fake stuff they maintained their composure and were all out patience!!!
I want to go back and watch that 10 vegan "meat dishes"...what I did see looked good!
Also Ed said it...squirrel is good as chicken...and its free if you catch one of the little rats.
This is going to make Roger mad...sorry Roger but I think its important. Yesterday's outrage of removing Security Clearance from a former CIA head....was just too much. Just cuz you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. And I will go to the store after gym and a stretch class I signed up for??? (what was I thinking??)...I will go to Publix and pick up a copy of the Atlanta newspaper to see if they have also followed the 360+ editorial pages across the nation in defense of the 4th Estate.
That is all...

This meme was on GreenMed's newsletter today...I cannot get the pix to load here so what it said was
"Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pic dew-wet red berries in a cup."
I immediately thought of Roger picking berries after his early morning walk!! So I'm doubly sorry about those berry eating tree rats...Yep, need to eat a few of the tree rats, wonder, Will They Taste Like Stollen raspberries???

Hi
I'm back home from walking Yesterday when I went back out I found a shiny Dime, Today Nothing. The Temperature out the door was 77 degrees and uncomfortable while walking due to humidity IMO. I did make one change, I picked up a Super Big Gulp Diet Pepsi with a lot of ice which did help somewhat. I think there is enough caffeine in that to keep a lack of Caffeine Headache away.
