Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 71 with an expected high of 90 and 20% chance of precipitation.
There is a pool party supposed to happen this afternoon, but not at the usual location. It's at one of our alternate locations, not as spacious a venue, and there will not be burgers and dogs, but deli sandwiches instead. I do not have baked beans in the oven. Woke up with that darn sinus headache. It's a bit better now, and my breathing is pretty clear, at least when sitting upright, but that nasty taste is still at the back of my throat and I haven't prepared anything for the party. I'm not sure yet whether I'm going but I think it may be wiser to stay home and nap. J can go without me, and will go without me if I decide for sure to not go. He always helps keep things sorted out with the donations and all. I usually help with arranging the food, making sure everything has a serving utensil stuck in it, if it needs one, keeping an eye on the ice, etc. But I'm sure they can manage that without me.
I'm not sure if I would have made beans anyway, though I guess they would have been a decent side dish with deli sandwiches. I would still have time to make a a quick noodle dish if I decided to go. Or just bring nothing, as I have, on occasion done, when we had other things we had to do prior to a party.
J is not up yet, so I don't have to decide right now.
I did get that laundry folded and put away yesterday. Now I get to ponder the "regular" clothes, though that one is not critical as yet. In the summer I tend to wear gym shorts and a tee most of the time at home, and if I go anywhere that doesn't require long pants, just change to a pair of regular shorts and add a shirt, socks, and shoes.
So the "regular clothes" bin doesn't fill up so fast.
Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned and feed the cats in a bit.

Grain of salt time. Maybe a whole can of Kosher salt. Things people do that interfere with burning belly fat.

Kids try 90's and retro cereals they've never heard of. There might even be some 90's cereals I never noticed, as I didn't eat a lot of cereal then.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 61 degrees and comfortable. When I left the house it was dry outside except for the occasional drizzle that became heavier after I picked up my coffee.

Hmm...
Bad Sinus headache would be a no go for me.
Cold Baked Beans like the homemade ones made starting with dried beans is pretty tasty, I do think a hot bean dish OTOH would not work with Deli, at least for me.
Side Dishes to me would be Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, maybe a Olive mix or Cheese chunks
There is nothing worse than a dish with no utensil
Just curious, what type of Noodle Dish ?
Yesterday, Friday, The New Dryer arrived early and as I was out on the road delivering Sliced Metwurst, a type of sliced dried sausage, The one You typically see in a Italian Deli with what looks like white salt leaching onto the outside and a couple of sleeves of Ritz Crackers, A Unopened jar of Peanut Butter and the other two sleeves of crackers. That should be tasty and gets rid of temptation tooJ is not up yet, so I don't have to decide right now.

Then I was in CVS looking for something my brother wanted when the cellphone went off that the Dryer delivery was already there and they could not find the Gas Shutoff. So home where I found the the shutoff and the dryer was installed. It has a feature we will likely never use. That would be a Shelf that clips into the Lint trap area to dry things like sneakers. Later I read the manual since this one is more complicated than the one it is replacing.
That is similar to myself, I wear a pair of black elastic waist shorts and T-Shirt and change into outdoor shorts or long pants with a belt and the same Pocket T-Shirt.

I did eat cereal then and later in life with nothing for breakfast in between, unless it was a free McDonalds Breakfast of some type, even then more likely Black unsweetened coffee.

Peanuts and Coke was a real thing, I had guessed it was joke.
Whats the worst that could happen, the Beer gets so hot it pops the top and spurts all over ?
Don't overdo it, that is a problem for myself and my brother.
As destructive as Squirrels can be, Talking to the mailman and he had a lot of damage in his garden from squirrels too.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 67 with an expected high of 87 and 0% chance of precipitation.
J had a good time at the party yesterday and after he came back we had dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant. I spent the afternoon and early evening resting, some of it at the computer and some of it horizontally, with my nap buddy, Kiara.
For the moment I feel pretty decent but the day is early, and you know how that goes. After a decent night's sleep you might feel great for a while but it wears off.
I thought breakfast was going to be some of J's leftover pizza from Friday night but it seemed to have disappeared during the night and the pizza box was on the sofa with only a few crumbs in it. This was good as I didn't really want that for breakfast but didn't want it to go to waste either. I guess it might have gone to waist. But not mine!
Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and feed the cats. The dishwasher is running now.

OMG! For a real giggle, play Chef John at half speed and it sounds like he's drunk. When playing the two videos above, click the little settings "gear" down in the lower right bottom of the play window and change the playback speed to .5 to slow him down.

Things are drying off outside after the light drizzle dampened them, It feels cold inside today and I can not run the heat
I will explain, I have been procrastinating on replacing the furnace Cement where the exhaust from the furnace goes into the chimney. After feeling cold this morning inside the house I went down cleaned the dust off of it, sprayed it to moisten per the directions and now the cement need to harden. One part of the directions say apply to a vold surface, Oh well, Now I pay for procrastinating by feeling cold.
I have noticed that myself, You wake up feeling pretty good and as the day passes You feel worse.
I do that too, sometimes I eat something just so it doesn't go to waste so what happens ? It goes to Waist. I like Cold Pizza, At least that way the sauce and toppings do not try and slide off
Our Dishwasher is not even walking since the dishwasher is usually me.

I did know that feature is available, I just never tried it. I did have a DVR that had a 1.2 speed that was handy to get through things quicker and since it corrected the pitch so it stayed the same, I liked it until I could not use it due to the service being upgraded.parityanimal wrote: »OMG!

Hi!
There is NO progress going on today in this house. That has to change!
Loved the video's. Something about Chef John's sing-songy way of speaking drives me crazy. He sounds much better at .5. I tried .75 but it was still sing/song....My mother used to once in awhile make cream puffs. Always a great treat!
I haven't watched them make the Pantone Bread. I LOVE that stuff. I 'used to' a long time ago eat one of the big ones around the Christmas holiday...So good! So 'wrong'! slices put into the toaster oven with a slice of cheese and toasted was amazing! As was butter or peanut butter, etc. Good thing I'm heading out for the gym shortly.
I discovered changing audio speed when I was taking a nutrition class from a couple prof's in N. Carolina! I could speed up their lectures..and they were still very understandable, and only half hour long, instead of the full hour! Saved me lots of time!
Ed, its hours later...hope you're still feeling pretty good like this morning!
I'm waiting for the 'mood' to strip returns sometime this afternoon, after gym walk.
Roger, sad to say I watched that rotten raccoon fling himself off the side of that building and fall 9 stories!! Amazed he quickly got up, and ran away!!
Yep. peanuts in Coke was a real thing...The salty sweet Coke was good. (I was in high school.)
Ok, off to endure a date with the TM.
Later...0 -
Did it! Stayed on the TM for as long as I could tolerate. Had I stayed another 20-ish minutes I would be good for the day...but, nooooooo! So, Fitbit just tapped me and the display says I need another 149 steps to 'Win the Hour'...
So, a-stepping I shall go.
