Well I haven't done too much today. Drank a lot of tea, and still doing that!
But I did make breakfast for me and for Lilo, and washed a lot of dishes. And then some more from lunch. I made home made mac and cheese for me, heavy on the cheese, and spicy basil fried rice for J, with extra egg. He liked it enough to want seconds, finishing off the pan of food.

Opened a bottle of the Sertorio wine tonight. VERY GOOD! Fairly fruity, soft tannins, nice bouquet. Not sure just what's in the blend but I think I taste Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, at least. Could be wrong.
It also paired nicely with our dinner appetizer of baked Garlic Parmesan/Romano Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. J and I both really liked the cauliflower bites!
We'll see shortly how well it goes with the roasted rosemary and garlic potatoes and the onion, bell pepper, and pepper jack omelet that Eduardo is planning.

Update: Wine paired very well with the remainder of dinner too. I feel stuffed now. J liked it all too.

Hi
I was out walking today and hit 8K steps. The temperature is 54 degrees vs 43 degrees yesterday and was not to bad while walking until...
I started to feel a little warm due to overdressing. I was wearing to much despite dropping a layer
Have a Great Friday

To buy a week's groceries for $20.00.

used one.
'If cigarettes keep going up in price,

Nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store. '
'When I first started driving,
Who would have thought gas would someday cost 29cents a gallon..
Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.
'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more..
Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying
DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND,
It seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.
'I read the other day where some scientist thinks
it's possible to put a man on the moon by the
end of the century.
They even have some fellows they call astronauts
preparing for it down in Texas .
'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a
contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball?
It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be
making more than the President.
'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen
appliances would be electric.
They are even making electric typewriters now.

I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best
people to congress.
'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather,
But I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.

It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.
'No one can afford to be sick anymore,
At $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for
my blood.'
'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'
The Cubs will definitely win a World Series before the end of this century.
Is it just me or does the Earth seem to be getting warmer?
Remind me to buy some more asbestos insulation for the attic.

One of my favorite sandwiches is peanut butter, mayo (actually I prefer Miracle Whip), bacon and sliced onion, on whole wheat toast.
I know it sounds weird, but it's actually quite good. Maybe your brother would like that one, Roger!
Now all I need to do is ask him
They are all ingredients he eats.
Me I like my Onions sauteed or crisped or in a Onion Ring
I think I would really like the potatoes over roasted as You put it but for me they could even go a little longer, I like Crisped.parityanimal wrote: »Speaking of wine and dinner...here it is!

Besides watching crazy Grandma gifts, and people eating various foods, I've managed to do 2 loads of laundry..2nd in dryer for a few more minutes, first folded and put away...reheated my one cup of coffee 3 times ???

Gathered and taken trash and recycles to their receptacles in the garage, to push to the street later this afternoon..Tom E.s been fed, and is outdoors, his boxes cleaned, etc...I'm just finishing up eating a meal...hard pressed to give it a 'name'! LOL!!
Soon to head out to the gym, and to gas the car...then I'll eat a bite of ? and head out to O's gymnastics.
Tomorrow will be better!
Later...
I need to do Laundry too, However I want to have my Shower first for two reasons, That way I'm sure of plenty of hot water and what I am wearing can go in too that way
My Brother does not even reheat it, he just chugs it down cold. Me it has to be hot.
I hope You had a enjoyable time at the Gymnastics
Cheers

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 55 out there now, with predicted high of 77 sunny degrees.
Need to clear the sink, maybe go to Kroger (though may do that tomorrow) and ponder other things. Lilo let me sleep in until 7:45 this morning. I was impressed.
Don't think I'll be in a hurry to go to Ikea for any meals though.

Interesting, I have never been in a Ikea despite there is one in driving range

I think in the late 60s a Batbat could probably have been sold for twice the price of a plain old bat!

More bloomers!

I didn't bend down to confirm WHICH daffodils are scented, but something out there definitely is! This is the first year that the lenten rose has actually bloomed early in the year. It's been blooming in the fall, which was very weird. I did transplant it from Memphis, but really that shouldn't have affected it THAT much. I am pleased to say it's bigger and better looking than ever!
Eduardo almost had the night off tonight, but did insist on making large salads and two kinds of salad dressing. The salads had Bibb lettuce, tomato, white mushrooms, Italian cheese blend, fake bacon bits for J, real for me, and the last of a bag of garlic cheese croutons. Mine had a home made creamy Italian herb dressing and J's had home made thousand island type.
The reason Eduardo had MOST of the night off was that it's the end of what was a rather grueling work week for J and he wanted pizza tonight. Eduardo had NO issue with that, as long as we had salad first, and I didn't order the pizza until we had eaten the salad, to ensure that the salad was consumed.
Dominos had a good deal going so I had a medium "all the meat" thin crust pizza...well, I'l be having it again tomorrow. LOL. J had a medium double cheese thin crust, his favorite type of pizza, and he may eat the rest of his later tonight. I suspect he'll be having some tomorrow too though.
All of that with delivery charge, tax, and tip was a bit less than $22 so I was satisfied that we got a good deal.
Nearing bedtime here I think. No nap materialized today. I couldn't sleep this afternoon so gave it up.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday!
Currently 60 out there and the high today is only supposed to be 61, with a low of 32 tonight! The REALLY cold temperatures aren't supposed to hit until the wee hours though. The high is supposed to be around 11:00 with gradual cooling after that.
Need to get the sink cleared of a little bit, but not much. Lilo and I have been fed. She insisted on getting up at 7:30, by climbing up on the headboard and being a vulture again. It's wonderful that, at her age, she is still limber enough to do that, but I'd rather she didn't...
J and I have this orchid thing at a private residence this morning at 11:00 so need to get moving I guess.

Now for the that cost locally I can get two full Italian Pasta Dinners such as Chicken Parm and Sausage or Meatballs with the Pasta and a side of Garlic bread. I would have to pick it up as that Pizza place does not deliver. Despite that they have been in business for many years due to tasty Pizzas and Dinners.

Great cartoons again today!
I know if I ever see a grocery Bill that high they hopefully have someone there to restart my heartGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning! TGIF!
Tomorrow is last Hockey game of the season...kinda happy, kinda sad! LOL!!
Its already late morning...and I've already reheated the coffee once. One more time....
I think I'll leave the Scrapple and Blood Pudding for you guys...Advantage...Veganism!!!
70's again today. You'll find me outdoors! and at the gym.
Tom E's already outside and happy about it. Last night as I was getting ready for bed, he decided he wanted to go outside. Nope! Option would have been to leave him out overnight, but.....well, Nope.
I think I'm going to have to cook today...Like whole meals. I'm out of Whole Foods Hot Bar! Oh well, have to keep up my skills... Breakfast is on my mind right now.
Roger, I already am very good at showering before laundry, so I can launder 'everything'! It works!
I can't do cold coffee...my DS2 drinks his cold, yuck!
Dinner look mighty good last night Ed. Glad J liked it too! Always makes the cook feel better when dinner is a 'hit'!
Later...
I'm with You, Cold Coffee Yuck!
I think the Scrapple and Blood pudding are both based on what the Poor could afford at one time.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Ok, the Southern food was fun! I loved the end..tastes good, makes you sleepy, nap time. Sounds about right! BUT...how could they have Moon Pie without having an R C COLA?????
That is just NOT southern!
I watched the food peeps are supposedly eating 'wrong' yesterday...eh, maybe.
Now on to Russian Food....
R C Cola must be more a southern thing, We do have it here and it does not sell nearly as well as Pepsi & Coca Cola
Dr. Pepper available by You?
I'm with You, No way would I want to try any of the one ones You mention. Roaches, Yuck.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Welllll, I know food is not plentiful like here, and many are poor, but so were they Irish, and other countries at one time or another....and they lived on things like corn or potatoes, or beans....but RAW PORK FAT..... That would induce a very long food fast for me. No, no, nope! Not happenin"!
I don't do tripe, scrapple, snake or roaches. I have eaten alligator, octopus, and a few other weird things...but....not raw pork fat YUCK!! LOL!
These have been fun. Now I don't think I need to heat up my dinner. Suddenly not so very hungry. (dinner eventually will be, baked potato with gravy, my last ear of corn, and leftover asparagus spears that I steamed yesterday.)
Later. much later.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Early morning...hockey DS2 coming 'a bit early'??? I can't quite get my eyes open as it is....
So, Off to the shower...
Tom E. ate and went to the door and sat there waiting for his human to open it...
(enjoyed the cat memes!!)
Later...
Enjoy the Hockey
Have a Great Day

Hi Ed
Before I forget, Great pictures, Fancy Daffodils, I'm still waiting on the Grape Hyacinths, they are all through the grass in the lawn and backyard. So far only the Snowdrops.
The trees are starting to bud for Seed Production. It won't be long before We need to clean them off of the windows on the cars
Have a Good Day
