good morning, just got back from our walk it was really windy . Yesterday was nice it was in the 70s . Tonight we are going out to dinner it is at the church to help support the children's groups take care everyone

Hello Irene
Saturday it was OK when I started out and as I was walking the wind kept getting faster and the wind chill was worse. When I started out what I was wearing was comfortable, by the end as I approached the house I was feeling the chill

Is it a Corned Beef and Cabbage with Boiled Potatoes Dinner ?

Looking at the ShopRite circular I see a Coupon for a Corned Beef at $1.88 a pound and 1 pound Butter for $2.49. Not to mention a 12 Ounce Jimmy Dean Bacon for $1.99

Happy St Patrick's Day

Good morning.
I'm losing track of time. Yesterday went for a walk in the park, it was beautiful out.
Then spent time with my daughter and grandson.
Today, went to an equipment auction with my son at one of the county fairgrounds...just walked around, didn't buy anything. Going to my daughter's again.
Happy Saturday, everyone.

Hello Vix
Was it windy when You walked in the park ? Here the Sun played peek a boo with us.

Equipment Auction, Hmm... Farming equipment comes to mind at a county fairgrounds

Something I saw on the Cable News Channel this morning.

Good morning;
We went out to an MG club dinner last. It was fun and the food was good. I was actually under my calorie goal.
Today is grocery shopping and laundry. Hubby is putting new front brakes in my daughter's car. It is handy having someone who is mechanical and it will cost her a fraction of the price it would at the dealer.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello Joanne
Someone is up early this morning.

I meant to ask yesterday and it slipped my mind
What was wrong with the corned beef dinner ? How the heck do You ruin Corned Beef unless You burn it and try to salvage the unburned portion ?

Sounds like a busy enough day for both of You. I used to do my own brakes in years past too. it can take a while to have Rotors turned or spend a bit more and buy new rotors when You buy the pads.

Thanks, You have a Happy St. Patrick's Day too

Good morning.
Chilly again here...31, with a high of 49 for today, mostly sunny. (no precipitation in the forecast for this week).
Jo, sounds like fun. Good to have someone handy around. My son likes to work on cars or just about anything, and he just rerouted the air vent from his dryer to put it in the wall. Hubby did a lot of work on our old house. Now he kind of wants to build a shed.
Roger, the equipment auction did have a lot of farm equipment, also home appliances, and lots of basic tools. It was very cold and windy walking around outside. It was interesting though. They had about 5 or 6 auctioneers working in different areas, going from lot to lot auctioning things off. Nice hat!
Irene, hope you enjoyed the dinner.
Happy Sunday, everyone.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 32 degrees. The time and temperature sign I passed showed 25 which I suspect was more accurate based on how it felt while walking.
I guess I could call yesterday's weather forecast accurate where they said a few flakes could fall today and sure enough I saw a few stray flakes while walking.

I saw 5 deer trotting down the road near the start of my walk and while I was sitting in the living room I saw a different 5 deer in the front yard nibbling on my lawn.

Hi Vix
It sounds as if You are also running below normal temperatures too.

Interesting, I have to wonder where the dryer vent was running.

I find that we get a lot of use out of our shed in the backyard.

Auctioneers can be interesting, The thing to keep in mind is that they are not Your friend, their job is to get the price as high as possible both for the owner of what they auction off and that also increases their commission Cold or windy I do not mind, together I hate them.

Have a Good Day

Hi Irene
The meal Sunday was good, I did overeat from the St. Patrick's day meal. Way to much Corned Beef, Cabbage, three small potatoes and for the Coup De Grace a roll my brother picked up fresh at the grocery store that I cut in half, smeared with butter and doused with homemade gravy. The scale told me I overdid it and indicated that I was up a pound. I suspect that a lot of that is water weight from the Potatoes and Bread + Gravy and I should be OK in a day or two and be where I weighed Sunday Morning.

According to my brother the ShopRite Hot foods section had Corned Beef and Cabbage, Not a surprise to me, However at the price per pound they charge, no bargain either.

Strangely enough I have never had shepherds pie, FWIW I understand that to be a real Shepherds Pie the meat has to be lamb and if the meat is beef than it is a Cottage Pie.

We did not have Irish Soda Bread, instead my brother brought home four smallish rolls from the in-store bakery. I did find a Vacuum sealed slice of Irish Soda Bread in the freezer from last year, I may Toast that and have it with the Left over Corned Beef & Cabbage for my lunch.

We are already over half way to earning the free Ham from the ShopRite

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 34 degrees. There was a bright white orb in the sky lighting my way this morning. With that for much of my walk I was casting two shadows, one from the streetlights and a second equally distinct from the Moonlight.

The Scale looked favorably at me this morning and told me that I was a 1/4 pound under where I was Sunday Morning before overeating the St. Patty's Day foods

Yesterday my brother baked some discounted Sausage from his Sunday trip to the market so I stuck in a baking pan with the bacon I had in the fridge. Or to put it another way, why run the oven twice when You can get double duty out of one bake. So now I have precooked bacon I can use to spiff up the NS Chicken sandwich and the NS Hamburger and to add a little to the NS Pizzas. I was afraid that the nice Bacon sandwich I made with some of it along with Slice of 40 calorie bread that I used to soak up the drippings would impact my weight, Evidently the alterations I made to my days foods compensated for that.

Hi Vix
I had wondered if that was the case, IMO the shorter and more direct a dryer vent run is the better, Dryer lint is flammable as understand it.

I have heard that some HOA's rules can be capricious and that the interpretations is up to the members. I recollect hearing about one where they required the living room to be painted in specific colors since the walls could be seen through the picture window, Way over the top IMO. Good Luck with the Homeowners Association.

It would appear that I survived the St. Patty's Day food intact, I was up yesterday and back down today to below that morning so I am happy.

I'm sure my brothers weight loss would be better if he did what You are doing and reduced what he eats. I have at least one NS snack each morning before walking so I am not running on empty and so I am not putting coffee into a empty stomach.

I hope Your day went as planned

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 33 degrees. Rain in the forecast for Thursday

Yesterday we drove over to a new Grocery store that just opened in the area, We found out when a circular for them appeared in the Weekly Circular delivery arrived in the mail.
Some prices were good and some not. An example of what my brother thought was a good price was Chicken Leg & Thigh Quarters for $0.27 a pound in bulk. Myself I do not shop enough to know a good price when I see it. They appear to have just opened and had not even finished filling the shelves. One interesting thing is that the store is a combined Grocery Store and a True Value Hardware store that use the same set of registers.

Hello Irene
Agreed, the walking has been fine so far this week, I am not looking forward to tomorrow OTOH unless the forecast weather changes in today's forecast.

I had wondered if the Rotator Cuff could be the problem, I hope that the Cortisone and the Physical Therapy both help.

I was in a BJ's years ago and it seemed dark and dingy compared to CostCo. I'm interested in hearing how they compare from You since You will be visiting both the same day. I have occasionally been tempted to go again to BJ's when they mail out a 30 day free trial but have so far resisted. I find that CostCo is well lit, Clean and has helpful staff.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 47 degrees. When I left the house all was dry, given the early rain in the forecast I modified my walking path so that I was more or less close to the house. At the furthest point I felt my first drop of rain and by the time I was home everything was wet and the rain had temporarily stopped. There is heavy rain in the forecast for later today

Hello Irene
That sounds like a nice store, I hope the one in Hamilton is as nice.

I really need to go online and order the gift cards while I can, I will be using most of the ones I have with the added expense of some A La Carte additions to my upcoming order. Did or Do You happen to remember when the sale ends ?

I have bought some, not much Clothing at the local CostCo and they and the heavy large bath towels are good quality and hold up well.

I like their fruits, the problem is that some of them are in to large a quantity, Bananas for example, OTOH the Apples are tasty and I like the packaging.

I hope You manage(d) to get today's walk in before the rain sets in.

Hello Joanne
I have heard from more than one source that Saturday and Sunday are the best days to visit CostCo from a food samples perspective. They have nice Fruits, not always super cheap but high quality IMO. The Hot food section is a bargain, Where else can You get a 1/4 Pound Hot Dog and a Soda for $1.50 ?
I bought my Food-saver Vacuum sealer there it was the best price I could find online or in a brick and mortar store. It really does keep things much better than wrapping in other things such as Foil or Saran Wrap. I do buy much cheaper bags to use in it online from Amazon FWIW.

They should be shot for palming that corned beef off on You as a meat IMO. My best guess is that they had bought it, cooked it and were to frugal to discard it. We bought two Corned beef using the ShopRite Coupons in two different weeks and one was fine and the second had a huge Fat Cap and a layer of fat inside of it. I trimmed off the fat before eating. You could not tell how much fat from examining the package
There is no real excuse for Vegetables to be Oily. If the Cabbage is cooked in the water the Corned beef was cooked in that could happen. Ours was not oily FWIW.

Our snow vanished days ago

Cheers
