Hello, Saturday lazy day!
Not much going on.
Roger, I read the article, and many others in the past couple months...seems to be a 'hot topic'...I am curious about what you may have learned about intermittent fasting. As I recall you were doing that for awhile....I'm pretty much doing that, also remembering when I was late 20's early 30's and I ate only once a day about 95% of the time...weight was not a big issue...cuz I was younger and metabolism most likely more revved up? Or, was it the 22-23 hours between meals?, or the food I was eating. The last...food I was eating can be discounted immediately. I remember what I was eating...no need to pass my bad habits before your eyes!!! Pretty much it was home cooked, and at least the flesh part of it was likely fried...bad ideas!
Going to the gym shortly...walking time is near!
Ed, hope the nose thing is much improved. Kitties are getting wet food, and kibble only if they're 'good kitties' and eaten all the wet? Hmmm. Maybe I've been feeding backwards... hmmmm. Mostly I put a small can of wet food and a handful of dry kibble on a small paper plate, and Tom E. must self regulate, cuz there is mostly always small amounts of both when he's done. I think I mentioned I suspected somebody besides me was feeding the poor old dearie. OR, he's hunting and not sharing with me.? Cuz there used to be, when there were 3 or more cats, someone was leaving me hunting treasures at the door.
Your 'beanie Mac and Cheese looked delicious. Loving both cheese and beans that couldn't be anything I'd have to have 2 servings of!!!
I'm heading to my room for some workout clothes then, out the door! Hope to be home between 4:15 and 4:30. Only one way to make that happen....
I totally missed the 'Goos Morning'.. LOL!!

Orchid judging photography this afternoon, if I go with J. I did sleep better last night but still didn't get enough sleep to really feel great. Got up about 6:00 this morning and been distracted by various and sundry.
I sold my soul yesterday at the pharmacy for some pseudoephedrine, 24 hour tablets, 10 days worth. Hopefully won't have to use more than a few and am monitoring BP closely while taking. Breathing was much improved and my mouth not nearly so dry this morning. And, I didn't have to wake up over and over just to sip water to re-moisturize my mouth! Not to say I didn't still wake up several times during the night...but at least it wasn't waking up feeling like I'd been sleeping in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
Cats have just had their breakfast. There is no laundry to fold or put away. Dishwasher is running.
I need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and I guess put down their kibble for today if they've finished off their canned food.
Were the pills that expensive, They sound like a Over the Counter medicine which should be relatively inexpensive.
I had planned to Mow the lawn today, Unfortunately the next few days according to the weather forecasts are predicting to be rainy. A darn shame since today's high temperature is forecast to be in the 60s.
I'm sure You are happy that You had a better nights sleep.
I used to eat a lot of those some years ago, When I looked at the nutrition information I was amazed, one of them is a huge portion of the days caloriesparityanimal wrote: »What's Mr. Wolfe eating?
Oh, OK, I thought they were a type of bean typically used in Chili, not beans in a sauce. Cranberry beans is a new one to me.parityanimal wrote: »
The can says "Chili Beans" and is generally some kind of bean cooked and packed in chili sauce. From one manufacturer to another, the exact type of bean used may vary. I don't drain Chili Beans, as the sauce is essential to the dish coming out right.I'm sure You are not heartbroken that there are leftovers of that really delicious looking Mac & Cheese, (Casserole ?)
What type of beans do You consider Chili Beans ? For example always used Kidney beans and my Brother prefers no beans these days.
If making the Chili Beans myself, from dry, I would prefer small red or black beans, though pinto, cranberry, or even pink beans would do in a pinch. And, of course, my spicy, face melting, home made, chili sauce.
Heat in Chili is something I prefer to avoid to be honest. Mom's Chili generally had Chili Powder as its only seasoning
Have a Good Day

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 70 with an expected high of 88 and 40% chance of precipitation. Gordon may be making its way here.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats their breakfast. Sink is clear. Dishwasher doesn't need to run this morning, as it did last night.
Need a nap.

Eggplant potato tomato stew. Val, you might like this one. I'd be wary of trying it on J though as he's iffy about eggplant. Sometimes he likes it but more often not.

Hi Ed

Roger
They were $14 and change, but pseudoephedrine is semi-controlled. I think people can use it as an ingredient in the process of making crystal meth, so they always take a copy of your driver's license and someone keeps track of that so they know who's buying it and how much of it they are buying, and how often.

I can't believe I just did this....again.
Lost my post by not paying attention.
Wasn't anything important, except maybe to say I did my laundry today, and its washed, dried, folded, hung, etc AND put away! WOO-HOO!!
Also went to the gym, and my steps were met by 5p. So, I'll be a couple hundred over, yesterday it was more than 1000 steps over. May be time to up my goals??? hmmm
Sorry you're getting a lot of rain Roger, especially since you didn't get your lawn cut pre rain. Its gonna GROW...
oh, my.... (happens to me at least once a summer, sometime several more times).
Ed...I think I'll leave my portion of the Eggplant stew for J! Doesn't read like something I'd like...toooo much tomato, questionable on the eggplant..and then potatoes??
I see they fined Serena Williams $17,000 for her outburst. If thats not a sexist mess I don't know what is...thinking of McEnroe, (often labeled the 'bad boy of tennis) and several other men who were little holy terrors on the court. I don't believe they got those kinds of fines etc.
We women still have a L O N G way to go.

Hi
I'm back home from not walking so no cents. The Temperature outside the door was 58 degrees.
I am getting ready to have my first sip of coffee.
Why no walking ? Sore Knee, I did not see a Rock in the rain and the less than perfect vision from the hoodie and when I stepped on that rock, that was all she wrote, Scraped one knee, banged up the other one worse. I shall live to walk another day, I decided that with the soreness I would take a couple of days off from walking. Next Time I go that way I plan to throw that darned rock where I can not do that again as I do go that way approximately every three days.

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 71 with an expected high of 83 and 60% chance of precipitation. I feel drained and want to go back to bed, but need to get breakfast for me and then for the cats.
Feels about like normal progression for a cold/virus though.

It rained all day Sunday once it started, a light rain but it never really went away...
Then I could hear it hitting the window AC and as I look out the window there is still a light rain falling.
My mind has a funny way of looking at things that You may have noticed in the past.
So here goes, Dishwashers have legs and they go for runs
I must be lucky, a couple of fillings and no crowns...parityanimal wrote: »I haven't eaten saltwater taffy in years. I'm afraid now that it might pull out fillings or pull off crowns. LOL.
My brother ships Saltwater Taffy and other foods Such as certain smoked fish that a friend of his out by Kansas can not get locally. We Freeze the Pork Roll, Wrap it and use Priority Mail.
