Well, wonders of all wonders. I thought I said good morning. I watched the cheese sandwich video..(aka 'heart attack' special')..bet it was tasty. And I watched the 1930's potato buns. I seem to recall making those, or something close to them when i was in high school. And they were quite good. If you get bored....:)
Bet Jason would love them!
Since I started this I havae 'acquired' a cat on my lap..making typing next to impossible.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I am going to try to hit senior hour at Kroget this morning for a few things.

Good Morning Ed..
So how was Kroger today? I gave it some thought when I woke at 6...but couldn't muster enough energy to roll out of bed!! Needless to say nothing 'critical' on my list!
Not much on the agenda for today...its trash to the street day, and I'm going to make up the tofu scramble seasoning mix from earlier video...maybe a stir fry later sometime today. Check on my tomato plants, and a nap. That's it! LOL!!
Hope you had a good visit with the fine folks at Kroger. I will have to say, for people who are up at ungodly hours in the morning so us 'boomers' can shop, they are a friendly bunch! Of course under those masks could be a rabid snarl for all we know!!!

I was really glad I went to Kroger. It wasn't very busy at all, and I was the first customer in the door, though followed shortly thereafter by severan others. I found everything I wanted, and grabbed a couple of things I hadn't put on the list, though I did want them. I got reminded when seeing them. At least you can get beans and rice now, though the rice shelf didn't have a lot on it. I was out of Kroger and driving home at 7:26.
Later, on my walk, I took a mask in my jacket pocket, and went through Publix for just a few things. Particularly a dozen jumbo eggs, since I had really wanted to get two dozen at Kroger, but they had a limit of one. So at Publix I got eggs, and some shredded mild Cheddar, frozen peas, since I did a thorough search of the deep freeze after Kroger and still didn't find the package I thought I had in there. I may remember eating it ... maybe when I made that meatloaf last month.
And J was looking for chocolate last night so I also grabbed a family size bag of miniature Reese's cups, and a small bag of Hershey Miniatures, featuring Special Dark as part of the mix. If J is lucky, he MAY get to eat a Special Dark or two... LOL. At least with bite size, portion control is easier. We can get just a little taste of chocolate without opening a big bar and then eating the whole thing.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It is supposed to rain later, so I need to get on out there for my walk, as soon as I finish this mug of tea. I will want the rest when I get back, as it's a bit chilly out there!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It's a good thing I have my computer and phone to remind me what day it is because they are all running together lately.
It's cold and sunny out, and should remain cool today. It was 41 when I got up (a bit later than usual) and is 43 now. I think I'll let it get a tad warmer before I walk. And I will enjoy my hot tea in the interval.
Maybe a little house work and laundry today.

Good Morning Ed,
I'd say we're lucky...just a 'bit chilly' I think you said...its colder than that, but we didn't have frost or snow, and the upper counties bordering TN may have. I haven't listened to weather, yet!
Ted's got me all 'conflicted' again this fine Saturday morning. Yes, its cleaning day...I even set my alarm for 7a. I wanted to get a head start on the morning, by having a cup of coffee in peace and quiet. Didn't work out that way though...Mr Saturday Overachievement Day...he had already taken up the kitchen rugs, the hall way runners, and was mopping the kitchen floor!!! He did stop long enough for me to make a cup of Mushroom coffee. (good thing, otherwise he wouldn't likely have lived!!) LOL!! I truly appreciate all that he does around here...but so early???
So, then he left for Publix, and when he asked if I needed anything, I said yes, a SMALL bunch of banana's, (I'd get a bunch on Tuesday....and I'm the one who eats a banana daily) also a jar of Nayonaise or Vegenaise. SOooooo, There is a bunch of 8 banana's on the counter, and the Veganaise is in the refrigerator....8 banana's...a small bunch??? Shaking my head, can you hear it rattling?
Well, Tom's on my lap again today. Its a good thing I have spell check, and a back button,...typing is not easy with this big ole Tom E. on my lap!

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! And it's *KITTEN* cold out there! I think a day off from walking would be a splendid idea. I have a bit of sunburn anyway from the accumulated walks and yesterday's somewhat late walk, with the sun coming down from nearer to straight above with less atmosphere to filter the UV.
But I DID find a new route that bypasses some construction constriction where they were tearing up the sidewalks. There is a breakdown lane I can walk in there but I am not really crazy about that idea, and it is going to turn into a turning lane eventually for the gas station they are building. So finding a way to bypass that and actually find a decent amount of shade along the way was good.
Not a lot on the agenda today. Maybe some light housework.

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! It's quite chilly right now, but the sun should warm things up quickly, and it should reach about 66 today. I will take a walk shortly. Right now I need to finish this mug of tea. Breakfast was leftover legume based rotini and meat sauce. I made a good bit for last night's dinner and baked some of it, layered with Mozzarella, for a hearty dinner. The one on the right had meat sauce and the one on the left had no meat, but a bit of extra cheese, for J's protein.
Almost finished with my tea, so I'll be heading out.

Hey Ed!
It is a beautiful day. A bit windy, but to be expected this time of year. I have ripened a fresh pineapple, and today I can smell it....time to cut off the outside, and slice it up and refrigerate. I can't wait to eat some ...will be my 'dessert' tonite.
Glad you were able to find a new route...gotta be careful out there. No sidewalks is a big reason I don't walk in my neighborhood.
I had a good Mothers Day, Ted made a very early trip to WHole Foods and came home with 2 vegan apple turnovers for my breakfast and a nice piece of vegan chocolate cake for my dessert after our dinner from VeGreen. I was pretty upset by the time I went to bed...big pix on fb of my granddaughter cheek to cheek with Jenn's Mom. I guess social distancy, and staying home has gone out the window. I sure hope Livy is going to remain virus free...I didn't sleep very much last night, and this morning after I made a trip to Kroger, Ted, unfortunately, got to listen to my anger over that pix. So, I've slept most of this day...and had my leftovers from VeGreen for late lunch. I managed to snag 6 bottles of the Sparkling Water that I like, and a tiny 2 oz. bottle of hand sanitizer...I was OUT of my bottle, this bottle will last quite some time, I only use it as I leave the supermarket. Other than that, its me, soap, water, and a lot of singing going on around the house!!
I'll see if I can get here a bit earlier....we'll see...LOL!

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I have already walked and am typing with somewhat frigid fingers. Orion is keeping my lap warm.
I gave Lilo her shot while she was licking the paper plate I had my steak and eggs on, and she barely noticed.
Not a lot on the agenda today. I need to warm up my fingers enough to feed the cats. Maybe wrapping them around this mug of hot tea will help.

Hey Ed!
Hope your fingers have thawed! All clear here, Tom E. is outside. He's spending more time out than in during the daylight hours. When he finds a patch of sun in the back yard he zonks out!
Since i did groceries yesterday, I didn't get up to make my weekly Publix run. Amazing how much better my day went!
Fixed the darnedest lunch ever. But it was good. I had some chard that I HAD to cook today, and so that went into the skillet with onion, garlic, and a bit of fake chicken broth...and I had some tofu that was left over from something I made Sunday, so cubes of tofu were fried, and mixed into the chard, and also some left over rice to make a bed in the bottom of my 'bowl'. Sounds icky, but it really was tasty. I have some leftovers, and I may make a nut cream and see how this works. lol! Maybe some nooch too!!
I think now I will figure out what dinner is gonna look like. I'd like to have avocado toast, but I've got a really nice ripe tomato, so I can see a good ole tomato and mayo (Nayonaise) on toast sandwich. hmmmmm.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! A bit chilly now, but it should get nicely warm later. I will walk when I finisd this mug of tea, and have the rest on my return.
The next time I get to the grocery, maybe I will look for some ham...for sandwiches.

Good Morning Ed.
Couple more of the vid's to watch,..Emmy's got something violently blue in her hands, etc.
Was good with the cookie bars...til it got to that can of condensed moo. Nope!
Probably about the time you were walking, I woke, and stepped outside with my coffee...pretty chilly..back into the house for a robe...and I hope my weather app is wrong...cuz its not showing any sun time today.
.
My intentions for the day is just some odd jobs...the clutter has come back, and it's driving me nuts...Me, the clutter queen...so for a bit of sanity I will attack my 'working corner' on my kitchen counter...you know that corner between the stove and the sink...seems to attract cooking stuff. And the former dining room table...now know as my desk...is totally out of hand. Also a stack of stuff to put thru the shredder... and two long video's one being an introduction sorta of vegan cooking. Thought I might see a 'trick' or two I've forgotten.
Not sure about nap time today??? Yeah, will make room for that too! Would hate to break tradition.
And I have already logged 22 of my 30 minutes exercise. so there's also that...I better get gong!

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I just got back from my walk and still warming up. Not a lot on the agenda today. We had fried rice for supper so that will be lunch too.

Hey Ed!
Mystery...I watched, but didn't post. Wonder what grabbed my attention this time??? Also, there is a sticky on my computer. It says, "End of June $20. " I have no idea what the heck that is all about! LOL! I'd like to think it was incoming $20, but have the sneaking thought that I will need to pay something/someone 20 bucks. ah well
Fed my little tomato plants this afternoon. I mentioned something to them about growing!!
And that's about it for this day...sure glad I don't try to write a blog...it would be really boring these past several weeks!
Time to assemble a dinner of sorts. I had a hot lunch, so thinking I will do a cold veg. and tofu sandwich, and something....to be determined once the refrigerator/freezer is opened!!

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! I may walk later, may not. We'll see. Just got back from sitting in the Vet's parking lot while they checked Lilo for a UTI and gave her a shot. After I feed the cats, I may take a walk but it might be about time for a day off anyway. I'll decide in a while.
I will need to get to the grocery soon, probably this weekend, by Monday at the latest. Nothing has gone critically low yet but you know how things creep in that direction!

Hey Ed,
Hope you have a good walk, if, you choose to go! I took yesterday off. Have done 20 minutes on the recumbent, and my intention is to jot down a list of upper body exercises with my dumbbells. (I know I've been threatening to get that list together for weeks....). Sometimes the wheels of change move very slowly!!!
POTUS is on my tv instead of the local news. I am about to turn it off. Its an infomercial of how great I am. Grrrrr! (this after reading how ABBOTT labs says their Coronavirus tests are not very accurate. Has a pretty percentage of false negatives. And blaming it partially on type of swabs, or length of time from collection to testing.. just great.
Ted's been busy this morning, some of it just moving reclaimed 2X4's from area to area in the back yard. Might I suggest he's in need of a project??? LOL!
For now, my main goal is a nap!!!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! Pretty warm today and I would even venture to say a bit hot this afternoon, according to the forecast. My "walk" today was through Kroger and then back and forth to bring groceries in and put them away. I have alread lost track of how many times I washed my hands this morning.
I pretty much blew the grocery budget for the rest of the month. I have about 20 to 21 dollars left in that account. But on the plus side, I did actually find everything I needed and could have even picked up paper towels and/or toilet paper if needed, as they actually had some available. Not a lot, and not necessarily the brand I usually buy, but who can be picky nowadays? But since I didn't need any, I left those to more needy customers. The $20 or so still in the account probably would have covered those, with maybe a few cents to spare. LOL.
Not a lot on the agenda for today, other than, if I remember to do it, putting some washer fluid in my car. I remember, when I start it and it dings at me, and then think to mysely that I should do that when I get home, but then there are groceries to put away, hands to be washed, cats to be fed, prior day's cat bowls to wash...so I tend to forget.

Morning Ed
Home from Whole Foods. Weird. Not like Whole Foods...Veg's and fruit all looked super good, and I bought a lot... Picked up an oddity or two that will be fun to 'try'.. discovered I could quickly learn to hate this directional isles...their even worse than one way streets.
Did get a medium size bottle of hand sanitizer. Enough to refill my little mini bottles, one for each car, and the bigger bottle can live on the hall table near the door.
Looked at the sushi...(I only really like sushi during hot weather) and the # of slices have decreased, and the packaging also considerably smaller. Sushi wil come from Kroger from now on. Anyway, got my weeks worth of groceries, snacks, etc...for under $55. Not too shabby, eh?
Ted has cut the grass, and mopped the floors. I still have to run the vacuum.., right after my nap. Sleep was not kind to me...and when I finally did go to sleep, I was rudely awakened with cramps in my right foot, ankle, lower leg. That was not fun. So, nap is going to be a long sleep today.
I started watching the video of vegan beginner, intermediate, and expert entrees. Looks alone I am favoring the beginner...love a good scramble, and you know I love my avocado toast and tomato sandwiches...so they make a perfect open face sandwich to go with that scramble...will have to watch the other 2 and see if I need to change my mind.
Also made a new dish yesterday...crushed tortilla, and salsa, and corn, and beans, etc..with a tart but good tomatillo sauce to put on the baked entree, along with some cubed pieces of avocado. Made half a recipe, and will be eating that for days...............simple, but easy to do. Nothing earth shaking here.
Heading for my nap
