    Hello!!

    Quite the long day with church, having lunch with a friend and small group. I did manage to stay keto and I am proud I was not tempted by favorites.

    Maybe I will seriously lose weight after all. Even if very slowly. I can sure see some physical rearrangements that are unlike any diet I have been on. Very interesting!!

    I am trying out keto recipes to replace stuffing for Thanksgiving. So far the favorite is ground sausage, cubed eggplant, celery, onion and sage. Do not even miss the dressing, and if the eggplant is cubed small, it looks like stuffing and absorbs the flavor of the sausage. It is so good I plan on having it as a meal on a day I do not want to cook much.

    You sure have to be in the mood for those all day rains!!

    Pretty sure my Chinese had MSG..Though it has been a while since I saw a menu as it is a buffet and I have not got tale out or menu items there in a while, lol!!

    Good stories!!! Take care in that changeable weather!! ...Jan
    Hi Jan
    I have had Sausage Stuffing in the past, I will also admit that I prefer Bread stuffing with butter and gravy on it once it hits the plate. Congratulations on finding a tasty substitute. I wonder how Cauliflower would work instead of Eggplant ?

    I am not in the mood for all the rain, It makes me wonder if it will be a snowy winter.

    No Menu means You would have had to ask. Sometimes I believe they use MSG instead of working on a better flavor from the ingredients.

    Thanks
    Roger

    Hi!

    Sounds like congratulations all around!! I am glad you found some adopters!! <3 Vacation sounds awfully nice! I hope you have a really good time and also Em has a wonderful homecoming!

    Roger, I think the cauliflower would not work so well. It still kind of keeps it's flavor, though if the small pieces work, the sausage might mask it. Eggplant is less strong and takes on the flavors much better. I know I am not too impressed with the pizza crust made from cauliflower...tastes like cauliflower. I like it, lol..but not in my pizza!!

    Not too hungry today...I like having no cravings. It is so nice!!

    Politicians sound the same everywhere, don't they? Boar running thru the city is not good!!

    Looks like the N.E. got a lot of rain!

    Don't anybody work too hard...Except on dieting!! ...Jan :)

    I shall be posting more humor shortly

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 41 degrees and comfortable. The Weather for Halloween is forecast for a high in the 60s, Whoopee.

    I see that my Non Frozen NS order is being shipped from CHAMBERSBURG, PA USA, and that this seems a bit weird "Label created, Shipment information sent to FedEx, Sparks, NV
    As well as My Frozen NS order From Breinigsville, PA USA is "In transit, On FedEx vehicle for delivery from CARTERET, NJ
    Hopefully it will arrive earlier than the last two and not have to sit on the porch overnight to help it stay frozen. I prefer to process it in before 4PM when If I am feeling worn out I can get 3 hours of shuteye before the evenings activities.

    Now for some Humor :smiley:
    The Businessman, the Beach, the Bible ...
    A businessman was in a great deal of trouble. His business was failing, he had put everything he had into the business and he owed everybody. It was so bad he was even contemplating suicide.

    As a last resort he went to a priest and poured out his story of tears and woe. When he had finished, the priest said, "Here's what I want you to do. Put a beach chair and your Bible in your car and drive down to the beach. Take the beach chair and the Bible to the water's edge, sit down in the beach chair and put the Bible in your lap. Open the Bible; the wind will rifle the pages, but finally the open Bible will come to rest on a page. Look down at the page and read the first thing you see. That will be your answer, that will tell you what to do."

    A year later the businessman went back to the priest and brought his wife and children with him. The man was in a new custom-tailored suit, his wife in a mink coat, the children shining. The businessman pulled an envelope stuffed with money out of his pocket, gave it to the priest as a donation in thanks for his advice.
    The priest recognized the benefactor and was curious. "You did as I suggested?" he asked.
    "Absolutely," replied the businessman.
    "You went to the beach?"
    "Absolutely."
    "You sat in a beach chair with the Bible in your lap?"
    "Absolutely."
    "You let the pages rifle until they stopped?"
    "Absolutely."
    "And what were the first words you saw?"
    "Chapter 11."

It turns out that domesticated cats have no native range. Originally bred from wild cats and introduced to North America by European colonists, domesticated cats are now listed as one of the top 100 invasive species worldwide by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

    Hi Val
    Whee, No fosters to add to You load for a month, Enjoy the Freedom.

    I know that You are aware of the weather at that time of the year and will stay comfortably dressed too.

    I was curious how many days the batteries in the heated mittens were good for and they ran out today while walking, I was not worried as I also carry a hand warmer in a pocket of the hoodie that I slip inside the Mittens if need be.

    Enjoy the Day

    Hi Jan
    I never noticed that Cauliflower had much of a taste, oh well :smiley:

    Yesterday for my Lunch I tried Chow Fun Chinese Take out as it looked a lot like a Thai Dish I like, Wide Rice Noodles, vegetables etc. I ordered the Beef version, Plenty of Beef, However it was a bit hotter than I like and tasted like a lot of ground black pepper had been used. I will likely not order it again. The Good Part was that it does not come with Rice. My bad I also ordered Chicken Nuggets and Pork Eggroll :(

    FWIW at least where I am Burger King has been advertising 10 Nuggets for $1, What a Temptation since I like Nuggets :wink:

    Politicians sound the same and act the same and Likely work from the same party Play book :(
    And then they wonder why they are disliked.
    Here in NJ the Governor is using the Pittsburgh Shooting to go for even tougher gun standards despite the statistics showing that most of the guns used in crimes in state were purchased out of state and brought here illegally.

    Congratulations, I wish I did not have cravings Today after Yesterdays Chinese.
    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning!!

    I ran out of half and half this morning for my coffee and used creamer that is sugar free. However I noticed I am hungry after. I understand about those cravings!! Chinese is hard to resist!! :#

    Loved your business man joke!! Not what I was expecting!!! :D

    Gun control is a weird subject. I wish they would just try something for a trial period, maybe just more mental health screenings...Violence needs to be addressed...

    Wishing I would lose a little just to maintain my sanity, lol... Panera bread Weds with my group,, and no sugar free things to eat... :s Los of temptations though...

    Weather is nice here...fall! hard to believe you are so cold...

    Hi Jan
    I wonder if the craving was a result of an ingredient in the Creamer. Chinese is near irresistible.

    I'm glad You enjoyed the joke, I liked it too.

    I tried the new NS Cherry Cheese Roll this morning, Tomorrows I will try the new NS Cinnamon Raisin Bagel or the new NS Five Seed Roll, a creamy blend of cheeses, rolled up inside a warm, seed-coated crust for a bakery-inspired breakfast.

    Tomorrows I may also try the New NS Lunch, Egg White Spinach Crepe, sautéed spinach, melted feta cheese and fluffy scrambled egg whites. Lightly seasoned and neatly tucked inside a deliciously delicate whole-wheat crepe. It will either be tasty or nasty.

    The Amazon drivers with their own delivery service tend to ignore the instruction inside on the front porch. FedEx, UPS and the USPS do fine with that. I could call and complain however I hate getting people in trouble, I'm just waiting for one to get soaked and then I shall Call.

    Good Luck at Panera Bread, Maybe if You eat before going ? :smiley:

    Hi Val
    The best jokes IMO are the ones where You do not see the punch line coming.

    It is my feeling that a quiet house is a good thing.

    That dress has the look of something simple and expensive.

    Good Luck with the Vacation Prep.

    Good morning!

    Val, the dress is just perfect!! It has the look of classic elegance! Nice to rest with your own pups and cherish a little quiet!! :)

    Brrr...That is cold nites, Roger, and quite the swing in temperatures. We will be warm here for Halloween!! Rain comes in Thursday!! Good timing!!

    Time change coming up this Sat. nite!! :|

    No worries at Panera...I never made it. From all the yard work yesterday I fell asleep around 9:30 for about 20 minutes. Hurried and was in bed at 10 pm. I was physically exhausted but never slept. Finally got up at 4 am and texted I would not make it. Getting up at 10:30 am or 10 :45 made for a day that I am trying to catch up, lol.
    I am just doing a few outdoor things.

    Glad you got one shipment and at a good time!!

    No too hungry today, must be I watched better!! Some artificial carbs are better than others. Still working that out. Monkfruit sweetener is the best so far.

    Hope the Halloween is good for everyone this year. We have no trick or treaters anymore. I am good with that!

    Jan Take care!!

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 53. The Halloween Weather was nice, sunny and fairly warm. As a result the trick or treaters were able to show off their costumes. We had 108 Trick or Treaters, That cost us 54 dollars as we handed out 1/2 Dollars as usual.

    Two blocks from the house on the outbound leg three Deer ran across the street ahead of me.

    Hi Jan
    The news broadcasts have been trumpeting that already. I Knew it before seeing it as the Schedule that the DVR displays was off an hour on Sunday which happens twice a year. At least Halloween had nice weather.

    Our rain comes in Friday at some point.
    No worries at Panera...I never made it. From all the yard work yesterday I fell asleep around 9:30 for about 20 minutes. Hurried and was in bed at 10 pm.

    OTOH by not making it to Panera You avoided Temptation.

    The Non frozen is scheduled to arrive today according to the tracking information.

    I use Truvia from CostCo when I use a sweetener in my cereal or Oatmeal.

    Hi. I learned that someone I care about has bone cancer. I cried. She has a husband and 2 kids...and she is feeling overwhelmed with the diagnosis. Another friend’s dad just died...a month after learning he had pancreatic cancer. Work announced another huge change ...and they didn’t think it through. I found my ice scraper...put it in the car. I wonder where my snow shovel is. Most years we’re very lucky and get little snow during our Thanksgiving pilgrimage north. Always better to have the shovel with and not need it than the reverse.

    Hi Val
    I am so sorry to hear that, Both of those are nasty cancers. When I was working as a driver we lost two drivers, one to each of those. Not good news I can understand why You cried.

    I have kept a short handled shovel in the trunk at least since the 70s and sure enough it came in handy more than once over the years.

    Good morning!

    Val, I am so sorry about your friend. That is incredibly tough as is your friend's Dad. No rhyme or reason other than this imperfect world.

    Hope Em had a great time at homecoming! I can not believe the holidays are coming up so fast. Where does the time go.

    I am not a snow driver. We were spoiled in Germany and used their transit system going places. I just planned groceries for a non snowing day. I must say I do not miss it!

    I made a peanut butter cookie from peanut butter, coconut flour and a sticky sweetener with no carbs. I was not bad as the texture and look were just right. Tasted the coconut a bit more than peanut butter, but it did the trick. I was full for several hours after having it and ate little for dinner..still full.

    The weight loss was nice, though on keto it seems to fluctuate around 3-4 lbs. all the time,but still at my lowest for awhile. Next drop hopefully will be new territory.

    Interesting stories above. It is scary how people are skipping vaccines. Even polio was making a comeback.

    Take care all!! Thankful for the week-end! have a good one!! :) ...Jan

    Yesterday we had another day of higher than normal temperatures, I saw 72 degrees at 4:45 PM at a nearby location, actually much of NJ was at or near that temperature.

    Hi Jan
    I am hoping to miss much of this years snow fall. Mass Transit in this area means getting to a train station or bus stop, neither of which do much for me as the trains are not that near and the few buses do not go anywhere I would be interested to go to.

    Did You also do what we used to do and use a fork to put a pattern on the top of the Peanut Butter Cookie, They do not look right without it IMO.

    It seems that Keto is working for You, Congratulations.

    I just do not understand the Anti Vaccine types. Polio is a serious disease that the vaccine can prevent. I suspect that many of the once gone illnesses are coming in from overseas.

    BTW, Hopefully not to political a question ? On the New York City Stations as well as the local Cable news channel most of the political advertisements are as much or more about running against trump, is that happening in Your area also.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi!
    I have been having trouble all day putting my food in. It keeps saying down for maintenance and other times it lets me in...weird!!

    My daughter has had the fathead pizza and loves it. The above looks like a great recipe!

    I don't have cable and so escape the politics...and I do not miss it in the least!! The whole country seems a little crazy!! :#

    I did make the criss crosses on my cookie! Would not be the same without it!! :)

    Messed up on my carbs today with a few new ingredients. read it wrong and messed up my carbs, though it was very low still, just over my 20...oops!

    Everyone and their uncle called me today..so got nothing done. I did deliver my daughters card, present and some flowers for my daughter's B-day. We are saving going out so she can just rest this weekend. Still having pinched nerve problems (daughter..), though it is better...

    Interesting and strange stories!! Jenny and I are on the same diet...so I should be safe, lol...

    have a good rest of week end!! ...Jan

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again with No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 36 degrees. OTOH it was not too bad walking, Tomorrow where I walk depends on the weather, Rain is in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday.

    Hi Jan
    Funny You should say that, I just had the same thing happen when I went to put in my time walking, a couple of minutes later no problem.

    I wondered if You would find that recipe interesting, Thank You for the feedback.

    Lucky You missing all the Political finger pointing, Not to mention all the mailings cluttering my Mailbox :(

    Things happen, just over would not make me worry TBH.

    Pinched nerve, Ouch :(

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning!

    I feel I should run up to Jersey and lose some change on the street for you, lol...Dry spell!!

    Val, you are a good mama staying up! You must have needed your sleep, so maybe it was a good thing getting some!! :)

    We had light rain this evening and are supposed to get strong storms Monday nite to Tuesday morning.A little warmer today and near 80, but the nites are cool. nice weather though.

    Long day for church, and I am so ready for bed. My whole week seems a little aggravating..schedule wise! And last week was so nice!Not sure what happened!!

    Take care all!!...Jan

    Hi Jan
    Thanks for the offer, I suggest flying up and not running that far :wink:

    Strong storms does not sound good, I hope election day has better weather in Your area. The forecast for this area is rain moving in sometime this morning. Then More rain during the day Tuesday.

    I know what happened, Murphy's Law at work.

    Good Luck with this weeks doings.

    Good morning,

    Today I went to lunch with a friend for her investment dinner. It turned out to be a good thing as legally there are still some things I need to do I may not have thought about. So at least it was not a waste of time, especially as I could not eat the mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, fried chicken apple pie, ice cream and pecan pie. Dodged a bullet there. (unhappily!). I did have salad, pork roast and turnips. (nice buffet!) o:)

    We are expecting some storms during the nite. Hopefully not as bad as La., Miss., and Tenn are being hit. They look kind of wicked anyway on our new limited radar.

    I am supposed to meet a friend for lunch Tuesday if the weather has passed. That is about 20 miles away, so do not want to be driving in bad weather. Hopefully it will just be wet by then..

    I got phone calls from everyone I knew, so accomplished absolutely nothing at the house. It is kind of piling up a little. Just can not win. I am sure I would be missing these people and their various stories, but also love some peace and quiet! :#

    Interesting articles once again. You sure do find them!!

    Still trying to catch up on the humor!! Some real gems in there and got some good chuckles!!

    Have a great day!! ...Jan
