Hi
I'm back home from walking and nothing was found. Yesterday I neglected to mention that in addition to the pennies I found I found a unused 1 cent stamp on the Post Office floor as I was mailing off the payments for the Gas & Electric and Credit Card bills. The Temperature out the door was showing 35 degrees
Seems a bit strange to me

I need to get out to Kroger or at least Ingle's before that happens if I can. I am low on paper towels and my preferred brand is made by Kroger. On the other hand, not yet critically low and Ingle's is likely to have a better price on some other items I need, assuming they have enough in stock, which is sometimes an issue at any grocery.
We had good news yesterday, The legislation to pass Legalized Marijuana was withdrawn by the Governor. My guess is that happened when he could not get enough votes to pass it and ha hates losing or criticism so he can avoid a loss.
For Paper Towels I have been buying the CostCo brand after trying them, Kleenex in the 10 pack and Charmin toilet paper since so far it has not suffered the width shrinkage of other brands. I prefer to avoid driving in the rain also, It is not my driving skills it is the others on the road.How to Make Grilled Bourbon SteaksEGGFRUIT - Canistel - Does it Tastes Like Egg? | Fruity FruitsYou Think The Pan Is Full Of Eggs, But Wait Until You See What's InsideHow to Pull Apart a PINEAPPLE | Pineapple Peeling - Fruity FruitsHow to Make Pan-Seared Pork Chops and Corn Frittersparityanimal wrote: »I made it out and back well before the rain!

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy all y"all. It's terrific Tuesday! Orion was helping me type until he heard Lilo make a noise in the kitchen and had to investigate.
It looks like it will be another pleasant day, at least as far as temperature, with 50% chance of, again, mostly afternoon/evening rain.
I might get out to Aldi this morning for a few items.
Way to go, Used meat rack is a strange way to put it IMO, I would have thought that a rack marked clearance or marked down would be better. The Local ShopRite has a clearance section where the put any meats marked down. Those are usually some cut or whole Chickens. We did Buy a Marked down ham recently at $0.59 a pound. That went right into the freezer. My brother should be picking up the free ham earned by spending $400 in a defined time period on Wednesday. We were less that $3 from that goal Sunday After last year he wants to get it right away as somehow someone redeemed the free ham in south NJ last year and he had to spend some time at the Courtesy Counter to get one for us.
I've called it "used meat" for many years, just to be silly. We also get most of our cats from the "used cat lot" but that isn't to save money, but to help poor, homeless, often abandoned felines in finding a happy "furever" home.
I don't know how the loyalty points work for your grocery. At Kroger one can use the actual card, enter the card ID number, or use the (optional) programmed in phone number, to collect or redeem the points. They don't have to have a phone number associated with the card, but it is convenient if, for some reason, the card can't be scanned, as most people won't have memorized the card ID number.
Anyone who knows the phone number I had associated with the card could use my points. They wouldn't be likely to know my card ID but could enter that if they did know it. If they had a similar phone number and made a typo to accidentally use my phone number, that would access my account of course.
Good luck getting the ham this year!

Delicate meatballs made from ground lamb and ground walnuts, lightly seasoned, browned, then simmered in a creamy red wine and mushroom gravy. I served them with the rest of the bottle of wine. Tuesday Night Red seemed the appropriate wine to cook with and drink tonight.

Was Orion really helping or...
Today is forecast to be below normal and is starting off that way. Temps in the 60s for the weekend are forecast. The Allergy season is off to a early start due to the stretch of warm weather we had.
Calling it the used cat lot makes some sense. I am ambivalent regarding some locales that require any pet stores to only sell rescued animals. This would seem to be the end of anyone that ones a pure bred animal.
I suppose it could be called a loyalty card. Most of the year it just saves some money on certain items at the checkout and a couple of times a year such as Thanksgiving and Easter spending $400 in a certain time period gets You free meat. This time You can get a Ham or pay $0.10 a pound more for the better end, or pay a bit more for a spiral sliced ham or Kosher roasting chicken for example.
One possibility is also that some picked a discarded Receipt that has the key tag number printed on it, unlikely as it was redeemed in south NJ and not locally. I anticipate no problem as his shopping today will put it over the $400 mark and he will redeem for the free ham today to be sure that does not happen again.Testing the Avant-Garde Vegan Cookbook! // Sriracha Meatballs, Tofu Kebabs + More

Hello Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Another nice day, a bit cooler, with no chance of precipitation. I need to get some laundry going shortly, as J is going out of town tomorrow.
Interesting, I might have out some of the sauce on the Broccoli as used on the Mashed Potatoes. Tuesday Night Red from Chile sounds sort of generic, How was it ?
The broccoli was lightly buttered, but some of it did end up with the sauce on it as well, and that was quite tasty on the broccoli. There is plenty of the sauce to go around, so I may well do that deliberately when dishing up leftovers.
While it sounds generic, Tuesday Night Red is actually not a blend, being all Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a pleasant, unassuming wine that is better than one might expect. They also bottle a Tuesday Night White that is, likewise, a pleasant, unassuming Chardonnay. I like them both and am always glad to get more.

If I get any later with these posts, I will be able to start them by saying 'Good Morning'...LOL!
Full day. Stopped by Walmart to pick up stuff for cat on my way to Atlanta and my chiro. She's so great. I was officially released from my car accident. Then on to Whole Foods, and this and that, along with a discussion with a total stranger about broccoli micro greens vs broccoli sprouts. She's been vegan since 1999 I think she said I owned up to 7 years myself, wishing I'd been at it longer...home and lunch at 3:30 Yes I was hungry...and yes it included Chicken Fried Tofu, along with several salad's I'd found on the cold bar...consider cucumber diced into about a healthy one quarter dice with cilantro!!! That turned out to be really tasty! And something 'simple' to do at home! So, now all I need is summer and a nice crop of cukes! After my late lunch it was time to hit 'my' gym, the bike. I only lasted 15 minutes...I really do hate that recumbent bike. And after watching the news, and eating a light supper, I ran out to Publix to buy a Power Ball ticket (a girl can dream, right?) So, now here I am. Caught up with reading, but several vid's yet to watch. I did watch the Vegan Chicken. Loved the mushroom sautè and I think the broccoli was closer to broccolini but.....
Now, on my way to bed, and Scrabble with Ted, and some word games, Suduko, etc. Then a long sleep.
Roger your walking temperatures are less than consistent, and way to cold for my old bones! I was glad to see that you found a couple cents the other day...its been awhile
Ed, you managed to get around the rains/storms we've had the past couple days! Me too, so far. I understand tomorrow may be more of the same. I still need a trip to Kroger tomorrow, and then Friday a few things to pick up at Costco along with my scripts.
Take care, and I hope to get here tomorrow a good bit earlier......

Hi Ed
Nothing wrong with buttered Vegetables either, It gives a different taste and hence helps avoid boredom from eating the same thing over and over. Leftovers can be a tasty time saving food.
TBH the Tuesday Night Red did sound and look generic. Can I guess that they come in the wine case You order ?

Do Your Cucumbers get borers in the vines ? Last year we had borers in the Zucchini and the melon vines and the Deer and or squirrels ruined the Melons as they were nearly ripe enough to pick.
Either Your Whole Foods ready to eat section is better than the one near here or it could be my fault as I tend to look at the Hot foods section.Roger your walking temperatures are less than consistent, and way to cold for my old bones!

I try and stay away from CostCo except for a once a month visit. The last Visit in addition to AAA batteries and Kleenex I did not avoid temptation and bought 4 of their Sausage Sandwiches to freeze and a Chicken Bake, What I ended up doing was eating the Chicken Bake and two of the Sausage sandwiches the same day. I did throw out the rolls from the Sausage Sandwiches and the scale was not too bad the next morning. Likely due to eating the Chicken bake on my return home and the only foods that day were the foods from CostCo.
Good Luck with Your Shopping

LOL! HA HA!
12 hours earlier from yesterday!
Good Morning!
Ed....Thanks for the info on the Tuesday red Wine. Do you buy it locally? I think my DIL might like that...and she has an early June birthday...this would go nicely with her Amazon C/C that she uses to buy 'summer reading'
Roger, I guess you could call it Mock Chicken, but why bother? I can't eat it. I used to eat the protein isolates, and seitan...I've dropped almost all of that. You might want to share the Beans and Rice video with your brother... Some interesting seasonings and prep and cooking stuff. I've used small red beans, and I like them! (I find them at the Mex. Market next door from the gym!
Ed's going to Aldi, perhaps...I'm going to Kroger for SURE! Several 'critical' the Kroger list! I've put it off all week, and today's the day! Thanks Ed, for a new way to look at my lists! Critical or (fill in the blank) Wants?
I also need to spend a few hours with the yard. Full of twigs AGAIN, and red Maple blossoms all over my driveway, sidewalk, and porch. The blower will make quick work of that chore...sadly the cutting back, trimming, etc will take a bit longer.
Today is a gym day......:( or ...hmmm. Gotta do it though.
I also need to go back and hunt up the sauce you both are talking about...I've learned to make sauces beyond 'gravy'. They do help perk up old standby foods!
Ok, I am off...need to jump into my gym clothes. (if you take that literally, I might not make it there in this lifetime!) No jumping for this ole gal.
Later...

I get it (when they have it) from my wine club, in a mixed crate of 15 or 18 bottles of assorted wine. It's a fairly small batch production and not always available. I'm sure the folks at Trader Joe's could help you find a nice, reasonably priced Cabernet Sauvignon that would be good.0 -
