Oh, also to Roger...
Glad to see the millennials are good for something, even if its only to cut the divorce rate.
We spent more on taxes than on clothes and food combined. No surprise there.
And 8 million people are following my lead and expected to cut the cable cord this year...what took them so long?
Hey, watch that ground hog...and we'll have our very own 'predictor' come Feb. 1st 2019!!
Quite honestly even though the weather guessers laugh at the ground hog predictions, I think their more accurate that the guessers!
Hope you have a good walking day tomorrow!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 62 degrees and at the time I left for my walk the rain was coming down hard enough to make a Hissing sound. Three Blocks from home I saw something crossing and then walking up the road, upon getting closer I saw the Black Fur with the White Stripe down the back so I stayed clear. The Rain slowed down as I was walking and despite the Rain Gear It was not uncomfortable walking and since I wore the oldest set of walking gear that I keep for days like today.
No Mowing the lawn today, Maybe Tomorrow or Sunday.

Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned. Cats have been fed, at least the canned portion of their food, and still await their kibble.
Need to get some laundry started. Dinner is already started. I think (barring intervention from Edweirdo...er, I mean Eduardo) I'm having beef and noodles with carrots. But we'll see. At any rate, the beef shanks and carrots are started in a slow cooker with some broth, spices, garlic and onion.
So that would be a 30% discount as I see it. A lot of bone in that, I suspect that and the Bone Marrow will add a great flavor.
Today the temperatures look to be good and the rain will be ending in a little while, according to the weather forecast at some point during the morning rush. 100% chance of rain today
I talked to a neighbor as I was on the block approaching the house, his comment was I wished the rain would stop, OTOH he did say we need it.
I have not been able to find a really good bread anywhere that I have tried. I see it being delivered to the Grocery Store since it has no in store bakery and even that bread is made commercially and then flash frozen before it has proofed. I also see some of the local eateries getting a huge paper bag of baked breads. The Local Convenience Store, Quick Chek, used to at least bake the bread in-store. Now I see it being delivered Fully baked and frozenparityanimal wrote: »Bread expert guesses cheap vs. expensive bread. There are bread experts? Who knew?

Good morning, I hope.
So there! LOL! They are supposed to blacktop my street today...I say supposed...there is signage, but there was also rain...street still looks wet. Don't know if that matters or not.??? (just another of life's mysteries )
Yesterday was a rather upsetting day. For me and probably millions of other women.

Cat's been fed. Crazy damn animal!!! LOL! I called and called...finally he got his lazy ole self off the roof and onto the back porch..so he's been fed. I've had my banana and cereal...I was late eating the cereal, so lunch will be quite late.
You know you've frequented an establishment maybe a bit too often when the evening manager greets you with a hug! She's really a sweet woman, and no I didn't mind a bit. Hadn't been to the gym, so my 'hug quota' was running a bit low!

I don't understand why you mentioned a Saturday vote...what weird thing might I have said??
Ed, I enjoyed looking at your beef and noodles! Not something I would have eaten, even if I ate meat/beef. Its the bone marrow that makes me make ugly faces. I was a pretty good kid age eater, except I did not like, and seldom ate fat. Not the kind around a piece of steak, etc. That would get me in trouble with my Dad, who seemed to think that fat and bone marrow was Good For You...so see, I rejected 'good for you' at a fairly young age. And I might add that when Dad had a cow killed and cut up for our locker, and later freezer...they left a LOT of fat on those cuts of meat. People used to think leaving a good ¾ to 1 inch of fat on your steak was a good thing..ick. And since bone marrow is fat..didn't eat that either! LOL! But, in defense to the butchers, that really was considered a great piece of meat. It just proves my Dad grain fed that cow for a month or more to get that fat. again, ick!

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! My 21st 39th birthday. 79 currently with an expected high of only 80 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Needless to say, I've been up for hours and hours but distracted. I have ONE shirt left in the dryer that is "freshening up" on the drying, hopefully some of the wrinkles will come out.
Still need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and get that one shirt hung.
Tomorrow is J's 6th 39th birthday. I feel sure we'll either get delivery tonight or eat out. I do want to see if I can find some individual slices of carrot cake at Kroger, and maybe some of chocolate too so we can have cake on both our birthdays.
However, there IS a pool party tomorrow so I'm pretty sure someone will bring some kind of cake to that anyway. Probably chocolate. J just doesn't tend to eat much at the pool parties, as it can be challenging to make sure of which items are vegetarian, and he's usually a bit stressed out by keeping track of the donations and guests, so I'm fairly sure we'll be stopping on the way home from that to get a real meal for him too.
Back to internet distractions and then a nap, after that shirt is ready.

Not all of the bone marrow rendered, since I was cooking meat and not just making enriched broth, but enough of the marrow rendered (about half maybe) to give me a really rich, tasty broth. While I had the meat and carrots out for shredding and dicing, I skimmed what looked like at least a cup and a half of rendered fat off the top, as I certainly didn't want to be eating all of that, but the entire process worked really well.Hi Valerie
I bet the noodles were cooked in the broth for additional flavor.

And you'd win that bet too! After skimming the fat, and putting the shredded meat and chopped carrots back into the rich broth, I turned it up to HIGH and got it back to a good boil and then added the noodles right to the crock pot. I let them cook for a while, stirring occasionally, until done to my satisfaction, and then thickened the remaining broth just a little bit more with a small amount of corn starch slurry. Flavor was abundant, and I was careful not to get it too salty in the cooking process.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Ed, I enjoyed looking at your beef and noodles!

I don't per se "eat" bone marrow, but I do let it render into my broth, as much as it will, during the cooking process. See above regarding that and the fat. Needless to say, I not only skimmed fat, but all the fat remaining around the meat when I took it out got tossed out with the bones, and what marrow didn't render went as well, so the final product was fairly low fat, but very rich tasting. I have one meal of this left in the refrigerator now, as it made enough for three nice meals for me and I've eaten two of them, one last night, when I made it, and one for lunch today.
Ok. Let me see if I have any videos to post today...

What is Mr. Wolfe eating today? Gas station sandwiches. Hopefully not made from real gas stations...I have found in my younger, traveling days, that some of the gas station cuisine is actually pretty good, though there is certainly a plethora of deep fried food in the mix.

Deshi, the Bangladeshi Street Food restaurant is in Chamblee. Bangladeshi food is similar, but not quite the same, as Indian food.
The appetizer was the bread looking thing that was the second item in the picture (from the left) and is called Aloo Puri. Pillows of bread with a couple of sauces. The bread itself, as one might guess from the name, was coated in some kind of potato coating and then fried into the neat little pillows. One sauce was tamarind and the other was a pretty spicy cilantro chili sauce. I ate one and a half pillows.
My main meal was the Chicken 65, on the left of the picture. Oddly, it came with a ranch dipping sauce and a honey mustard dipping sauce (both "lite" versions) that I tossed as I didn't want them and they would just have added carbs. The chicken, onions, and peppers were delicious and not too spicy if you didn't eat the jalapeños. The Aloo Puri was quite nice too. Val, I think you'd have liked that, as long as you stayed away from the cilantro chili dipping sauce.
The third item was just the Basmati rice, which was NOT included with the entrees, but that was made quite clear on the menu, and the other items were not terribly expensive (nor was the rice) so this was not a problem for us.
The other two were Paneer Tikka Masala and Aloo Ghobi, both of which I did taste, and they were similar to the Indian versions but different enough to make it very interesting. Both were delicious.
The restaurant is something of a fusion restaurant and they have burgers on the menu too, including a veggie burger that J is interested in trying. We may have to travel the 9.4 miles down the road to eat there in person some night!
It was a great birthday dinner. And my last bottle of Nero D'Avila was delicious with it, and I finished it after, while watching Sweet Charity, starring Shirley MacLaine, which arrived today as well.

The best grades of beef are well marbled as I understand it. Well rendered fat can add a nice flavor to French Fries. That was one of the ingredients in the cooking shortening at McDonalds and was what helped them be some of the best commercial fries
If I desired I can get Riced Vegetables of several types at the Grocery Store. One of these days I more or less want to try fried or Grilled Cauliflower Steak as I have seen that done on some of the cooking shows and it looked pretty good too.

Do You have any problems with that type of take out containers, I find that they tend to leak any liquids into the bag unless I am very careful. I had some Chili from a grocery Store called Bishop's, it was mostly ground beef with a few beans and a little liquid. I mention it since the Cardboard container did not leak even laying on its side despite me filling it to brim before putting the lid on.parityanimal wrote: »Kids try foods from cartoons.
