I watched the video on Bread and Butter Pickles. Here's the thing...those were the only pickles I've ever really liked. (I'm not a dill pickle fan at all) I don't remember having red peppers in Mom's, but there were onions. (could well be that red peppers weren't available in mid America in the 50's.... But, I thought she also made some of those pickles in the refrigerator, as 'Refrigerator Pickles" meaning no canning or hot water baths. Am I right OR am I having an incorrect memory moment???
You remember correctly. Refrigerator pickle recipes are all over the internet. I will link to one, but there are oodles more!

Thanks Ed....nice to know I remember a thing or three!!
They sound good. Will have to get some cukes when I go shopping next week.
I also want to try my hand at some cucumber dill salad that I have found at Whole Foods. That, I do like. I think because its only cuke small dice, and dill. I don't taste any vinegar or sweet. Just a very crunchy fresh taste. So, I'd best be buying a hand basket of cucumbers!!!
Hope you have a great, quiet?, weekend! And has that Ice Cream place opened over by Salata's? Curious about that ice cream!

Make sure you store that hand basket safely away so you don't end up going anywhere in it!
According to the website, the ice cream place is still "coming soon" so I guess it won't be open for this weekend's GRAND OPENING of our Town Center. I must remember to NOT be in that area this weekend.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday. Should be a nice day here. J is off to motorcycle driving school so I am home with the felines. I don't have a lot on the agenda. I packed up some snacks in lieu of the lunch that J was told to bring. He has the class again tomorrow.

Hi
Just in case so that I do not drop out of sight in the future. If anyone wants to send their email or Mailing address so my brother can let everybody know put them in a PM so that email address bots can not get them.
I have an appointment for 10:30 Tuesday morning for a outpatient test which means I need to be out of the house around 8:30 for the drive to the hospital and a 1.5 hour ahead of time fill out the paperwork etc. which is what they want so Tuesday morning I may not be on or if I am not for long.

Hello ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Sorta overcast, and windy! But 63 degrees says my weather station. Not too bad, eh?
Oh, I don't think Ed or myself expected daily updates from you, but maybe, maybe you could have brother put our phone number, (either, or both) in his contacts and send a quick text? or an email to one of us?? No, your right, while you're in the hospital is no time trying to teach someone how to log into NS or any other board.
I think I can speak for both Ed and myself when I say we're more than happy to have you back again...go slowly and at your own pace. You will be walking again probably sooner than you expect...not your entire route for awhile, baby steps and all that ya know!!!
I turned the heat on this morning between the cold and windy conditions outside the living room was below my comfort zone at 65 degrees
When I say my brother texting would not happen, He had Verizon disable texting on his phone
Since I do not have Your phone numbers that would be a second reason. In my usually daily status report I suggested a email or street address. Email would be quicker, as I said do not post email addresses, street addresses or phone numbers as there bots running that look for those in posts and doing that would be spam magnet.
Walking, I hope so, if I said I am not bouncing back as fast I had expected....
We had a fair amount of off and on rain yesterday heavy once during a thunderstorm.Ed...what's on your agenda today? I don't know about your end of the county, but I only got about 0.05 inches of rain, and it all seemed to happen around 9p.m....however the evening news seemed to indicate that other parts of the county got storms and rain more like 6p.m. Big county...sometimes means really odd weather here and there!
Do you still plant micro greens? I'm thinking of having a go at it...open for opinion and/or advice!
I'm off to the gym...it will be day 5, and then I'll do back to back strength training here at home Saturday/Sunday. Keeps my watch happy! LOL! Keeps me happy too. More energy, etc.
Ok,...I'm off and running! (in my mind only)
Later...
Have a Nice Day

Hello Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! I've been up for hours, but distracted playing with (and activating) our new phones. We now each have a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, UNLOCKED, so we got no discount on the purchase price.
We were able to basically swap SIM cards into the new phones, copy everything over, including screen layout, all the applications, and most settings, which made the transition very easy. It seems to get easier each time we upgrade. We did have to adjust settings within some of the applications, and I am sure I still have some tweaking to do there.
We chose to pay full price for unlocked phones as we did not want to negotiate a new 2 year contract with Verizon. We are currently on month to month and we are planning to switch from Verizon to Google Fi, as soon as the Google Fi SIM cards arrive. This particular phone is not available from Google, but will work with the service, and it is the phone model J wanted.
We didn't get any rain yesterday and none is expected today.
That does sound like a easy upgrade. Unlocked works for me, why be locked in to Verizon, they are not really your friend.
Google Fi ? is that WiFi Cell phone service and only via WiFi ?

Hi!
Off to the gym, then off to Nate's last 'regular' LaCrosse game, (playoffs start tomorrow), and after stick and basket taking Jack and family to late lunch for his last Thursday Birthday! I think by the time I get home, I'll be outta steam.
Quickly, I'm the illiterate in the bunch...how does one PM in this group? I'll hopefully figure it out..stay tuned!!

WELL this day became confusion...
The opposing team cancelled the game at the last minute.. So, Ted and I talked about what time we should leave here, maybe pick up Nate from practice...that didn't work, because of a movie he wanted to see with his buddies, and then Jack and Ted discussed the afternoon...next thing I knew doorbell announced Ted..half hour early..etc, etc. We ended up having a good time, watched a hockey game, (our fav team St. Louis lost) but it was a good game...etc, etc, etc. Jack had asked me to bring the flat antenna that I've been using for several years now, and we watched the game outside using my antenna....so now Jack knows now that it will work at his house..in fact I think he picks up more stations than I do. Who knew?
So, home again, listening to a pod cast and then I'm sleeping. Fortunately I did get to the gym early this morning!

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! J is off to motorcycle training again, but today I sent more water with him, including a couple of smaller bottles that he might be able to get under the faucet there to refill, and I was in Walgreen's at about 5:30 this morning buying 100 SPF sun screen. The exposed parts of his face and neck got burned quite enough yesterday. He applied it before leaving the house and plans to re-apply it at lunch break.
Cats are patiently (ha!) waiting for food but it's not 9:00 yet.

As far as I know You need to go to the home page and then You click the image that looks like a envelope. I did get on from Ed so that's covered since I am sure he would share.
Right now I seem to run out of steam quickly so I am recovering from the mornings shower before tackling the Laundry. I may put that off until Tuesday or Wednesday as the need is not critical.

Where I am the flat amplified antenna picks up two whole stations out a 20+. Add in the Subchannels... I am giving serious thought to getting an antenna and dumping cable, as I see it the ROI period would be short. FWIW ROI is return on investment
Believe it or not even the walls of a house can attenuate the signal and with digital it doesn't get some snow in the picture, it is either there or not.

No Sugar, No Dairy, No Wheat ? How good can they taste. Also IMO the sweet Potatoes are a from of natural sugar, I wonder if You need to use the white ones to avoid the orange color?
The training is needed to get a motorcycle license or is it like here where You only need to pass the test ? The location has no water fountains ?parityanimal wrote: »Howdy all y'all.

Ok, first...Good Morning!!
Roger and Ed have posted...I've wasted an hour or more here at my computer...and what do I have to show? Well, I backed up to my external storage, I printed out the parody on the Police's 'I'll be watching you'....in the form of a snoopy dog! That cracked me up...printed it off to hang on a kitchen cabinet where I tend to dream up 'junk' I shouldn't be eating....and I tackled my chubby little packets of email...and, and, and...
Oh, also listening to a food summit. Finishing up what I missed yesterday before today's discussions begin. Today is 3 of my fav. food MD's.
I'm betting the brownies from Ed's post will be really moist and tasty. Sounds like several decades ago when the industry went 'fat free'...I made brownies with prunes, or applesauce, etc. I also have printed out a McDougall recipe for 3 Lentil Soup. Sneaky feeling this too will be delicious in a savory way.
Apparently nobody really knows why the opposing LaCrosse team cancelled...the playoffs begin today. Its a half hour drive, and I told Nate yesterday that Grams would be missing but thinking of him during the game. He was very OK with that.
Should be nice here today...trying to decide if I am going to the gym today. My lazy half, says NAaaaa you've been 6 times this week...the challenged part of me says get it on..hit the gym, pick up some bananas, on the way home. Decisions Decisions.....
Later...0 -
Oh...also this morning I sent (I think) a PM to you Roger...for your brother...that was before I read that Ed had already done that. Yes, I trust that Ed would share any info that I might need about our NJ buddy!0

Home from the gym, and dinner has been eaten. (black beans, seasoned cauliflower, a lot of steamed kale and the other half of the sweet potato that I nuked this morning.
So, today is day 7 of meeting my goals for 30 minues exercise, 12 times I stood and walked around during my day..actually I went over the expected 12 and have been active 14 times., and according to Apple Watch I have burned over 400 calories today from exercise etc.
Apple's week run Monday-Sunday.??? whatever..its done 7 days, and I get an award pin...all online, nothing you can hold in your hand.
Hope Jason's motorcycle training went well. Our friend 'Kat'..(not me) she was in the Early Risers years ago..from Germany..(husband was stationed there). Anyhow, Kat took a course to learn the rules and handling of a motorcycle a few years back. I think at the end of the two day's learning they were given a test, and certification.
Too bad that most states don't have a safety program for kids and auto's. They did, when my boys were getting their licenses...it was a High School class. Most schools have discontinued Drivers Ed. My boys also got a large dose of Mother Driven lessons!!
Ok, see you in the morning!
