Need to get soft drinks, coffee and coffee supplies down to the botanic gardens as they'll be setting up for this weekend's orchid show. Our usual kitchen space is being demolished or remodeled so we don't yet know just how we are going to manage the food things this year
When I was walking today I noticed that most of the roads had been brined, Does our town know something that was not showing in yesterdays forecast or are they being over cautious.
That does not sound like good news, I sort of hate having to wing things when the usual plans can not be used. Good Luck this weekend.
Around here the gas stations seem to either have a small Mini Mart attached or nothing to eat, Maybe a Soda vending machine, and I do recall one that sold red rosesGas Station BIG AZ Bacon Addict Cheeseburger - WHAT ARE WE EATING?? - The Wolfe Pit
Interesting, This one interests me as Keto should be low carb. I will say they do not look like what I think of as a Biscuit and looking at the recipe page they call them Sausage Balls.Fathead Dough Sausage Biscuits | Make Ahead Keto Breakfast
As far as I know, Corned Beef is not that hard to make, It is time consuming due to the Brining and what not process and could tie up some refrigerator shelf spaceHow to Make the Best Corned Beef at Home
Since every year we pick up $1.88 Corned Beef with the coupon and that corned beef is OK...

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi.
Just finishing my dinner. Busy day!
Went to the gym! All good! I used the recumbent elliptical thingy. (It needs a name) Spent 15 minutes. Didn't want to 'over do'. Its been 6 weeks since I stepped foot in the gym.... Tomorrow the bike!
Then home, lunch, and a nice nap.
Followed by some outdoor time trimming back the roses, and picking up tree litter....i.e branches and twigs in the yard.
Need to attend to the kitchen, and spend some 'nice' time with Tom E.
Just be careful not to overdo it, I eased into walking by going a little further every day. I wish I could have done that with the snow fall and our shoveling, I was a bit sore later that day and into the next day.
I do need to trim the Blackberry and Raspberry bushes, However I shall await warmer weather to do that. I have been tossing broken smaller branches off of the sidewalks I walk on with my walking stick. That is easier than bending down and putting the stick somewhere with the Coffee Cup and doing them by hand. I think of clearing the sidewalk like that as a good thing for me and for other
You could be correct, OTOH why is our snow going away so slow, Just due to volume of it or ?Surprisingly Roger, winter hung clothes, on a sunny day dry amazingly quick. I think it has more to do with very low humidity/dew point. (my guess you understand doesn't really matter...just those clothes dried faster than in the summer)
I'm not sure what, if anything I'll cook for St. Paddy's day. I'll be at the beach. Last year Marietta and I walked to a nearby restaurant and had Irish Dinners. Complete with Irish soda bread.
So, if everybody is agreeable we may just do that again this year. There will only be 4 of us, so its not like we'll need a big table, etc.
Ok,...off to the kitchen.......
Later...
Oh, I saw the weather forecast for NJ...sure you don't want to move south????
Does where You are staying have a kitchen that You could cook in ? I shall be honest if I were on vacation I would use the vacation option and Go out to eat and avoid all the work cooking and cleaning up.
Move south, Home of the Tornadoes and Hurricanes washing things away at the beach areas and large bugs ? Did I mention I hate bugs ? Toss in the Crocodiles and I think I'll pass
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!

Well, another dinner time post...
This is getting to be a 'bad' habit. Will do better tomorrow...no gym. It was fun morning at the gym. Lots of old friends and hugs, and jokes, and laughing. I also did bike for 20 minutes. I am easing back into this Roger, promise. I don't need any more sore anything.....
Today's email brought a request for me to take a short survey from Honda...only about 25 minutes. WHAT??? I would hardly call 25 minute survey SHORT!!! I may or may not do it. I know if I don't do it they will pester me to death...not exactly a win/win spot to be in.
Nosy question...are you both doing a Keto diet? or more to the point, why???? Just curious.

Is that a two day show or is in over already.

Bad Habit, who doesn't have those
Nothing like seeing old friends.
I agree 25 minutes is a bit long. Was Your email address required when You bought or was it only suggested so they could send you a email notice of any recalls ?
I am not doing Keto, I am trying to reduce carbs for Blood Sugar purposes if that helps.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. Now it's REALLY satisfying Saturday! Apparently I was trying to speed up the weekend!
The show started yesterday, and yesterday was the worst for me, work-wise. I was out of the house at 6:30 in the morning, helped with the breakfast for the judges (and volunteers) and then the lunch. We did, at the last minute, get permission to use a small kitchen space in a nearby building, for sink, refrigerator, and a microwave oven, and they opened up some classroom/multipurpose rooms for the judging and hospitality. We have them for the weekend.
I got home for a nap yesterday, and then back even further downtown to a dinner party for the volunteers.
Today I will eventually get down there to set out what snacks there are, make a pot of coffee, and help with the lunch for the vendors.
I haven't promised to be there for anything tomorrow, but I think J has agreed to give a demonstration on mounting orchids to wood, so I might go in with him. Or I might not!

Good (the real) Saturday Morning...notice I said MORNING!!! LOL! Finally!!
Ed you surely had me confused...not fair, I hadn't finished my coffee yet!!
Ummm To Do List?? Wash Tom E.s laundry...yes, he has laundry too. Maybe wash a load of dark clothes for me? um..
Some kitchen work. Some things need to be put away, and then there's the floor, and cabinets and appliances could use a wipe down, etc. Much to do...not sure how much of much will be done!!
After watching the bazillion video's, and readings, etc I think I can safely say that Keto is not healthy for diabetics. It could lower weight, it may even give some better BS readings.....all at the expense of your heart, arteries, and kidneys. From what I can see, Keto is just Adkins renamed and in a fancier dress.
It's really damp outside. My weather app said foggy. I don't see fog, but misty, yeah...I need to go look out some doors to see if Tom E. would like to come in, and I may as well start my day chores. No gym today. And as I typed that Mr Tom E. came to the window and sat down...so I rapped on the window, and he must have been day dreaming, as he really jumped!!! Poor ole guy.
So, with that I will say

Hi
I'm home and did not go walking and thus no money was found. The reason is a combination of the rain and the Clock change to Daylight savings time leaving me tired. I suspect a nap this afternoon The Temperature out the door was 35 degrees. The was in the forecast for overnight into Sunday has arrived. The Total amount forecast for where I am is 0.9 inches.

That must be a huge help having a kitchen space to use even if it is small. It does sound as if You had a busy day.
When You say mounting orchids to wood I am guessing that You mean as a growing medium or for support or both ?

Cat Laundry, whatever he lays on for naps ?
I may have asked this before, I know that somewhere on MFP someone mentioned Shampoo to clean shower glass. I tried and I must be doing something wrong.

I find that the Keto recipes being posted by Ed are interesting and add variety to a Non keto diet while not spiking blood Sugar. Am I mistaken when I presume that You mean those drawbacks apply to a a 100% Keto diet ?
I would take Foggy or Misty over the weather we are having. I will admit that Monday to Friday the forecast looks good.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 10/50 with an expected high of 21/69 and 50% chance of precipitation.
Last day of the orchid show and I am not required or volunteered for anything today, though J is so I might go in with him, but his presentation's scheduled time conflicts with the time during which I'd like to nap.

Happy Daylight Savings Day??? (not exactly)
More on that later...no, I think we are all 3 in agreement that its a sham, waste of time, outdated, etc etc..
The reason for this quick post...
They're coming Roger! Won't be long...I swiped this from one of my email health mailing lists, because I instantly thought of you, coming home from your walk and picking a handful of berries on your way to the door!!!
Which makes me remember I have blueberries, and I have not had breakfast....

Many orchids grow naturally on trees or even rocks. Growers often try to duplicate the natural growing environment as closely as possible. Here is a short video showing how one man does that.
