Hi,
My grandson's soccer and playground after was fun. And the party was great. (Thanks for the birthday wishes). My fritata turned out really well, as did the angel food cake,served with berries and homemade whipped cream. The little ones are adorable, as always, and it's just so nice to be able to relax with family.
The weather is perfect today. It's 72F and sunny. Going into the 50s overnight.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.1 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! We currently have a cool, clear 12 (53 F) degrees with an expected high of 26 (78 F) under mostly sunny skies. We have a 4% chance of precipitation.
Nothing too critical on today's agenda. I am running the dishwasher now, so there will presumably be clean dishes to put away later.
We ate at a nearby vegan fusion restaurant last night. J had the faux pho, and wasn't terribly pleased with the faux beef in the soup but overall liked it. Having eaten most all of the noodles and such, the remaining broth came home to have some additional noodles, veggies, and protein added for a nice lunch today. I had a vegan sweet and sour stir fry, with brown rice. It was very tasty and I ate all my vegetables, so I earned dessert. LOL. I had a small slice of some divine carrot cake and J had a slice of Black Forest chocolate cake. Both cakes were delicious and no one would have guessed that they were vegan (no egg) if it wasn't already known. The restaurant also serves some Mexican style dishes, and three kinds of vegan burgers, with fries (white or sweet potato) and I might try their chickpea burger another time, to see how good it is. The other two are the Impossible burger and the Beyond burger. I have eaten both of those before and restaurants tend to overcook them, so there is no great desire to have them again at a restaurant, though they can be nice prepared at home. Spaghetti is on the menu too, and some faux sliced beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, and some panini sandwiches made with vegan deli slices. They try to cover the bases on food tastes.
Breakfast this morning was a sumptuous, layered, savory stack. I warmed a serving of Kodiak Cakes whole grain flapjacks (3 small pancakes) and layered pancake, cheese, sausage patty, pancake, cheese, egg, pancake to create another breakfast sandwich stack. It was a bit too tall for me to pick up and eat as a sandwich, so I ate it with a fork. It was very nice. I don't miss the syrup much if I make something like this with my flapjacks or waffles, and it makes a delicious breakfast.
Well, my mug of tea is in need of refilling so back to the kitchen.

Good morning.
Nice that you found a good vegan restaurant, Ed. Your breakfast sounds very filling!
I'm having some leftover frittata. Usual things to do today.
It's currently 60F, abundant sunshine. High 72F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph. Nice to have some early Fall weather.
Happy Sunday, everyone.0 -
Just wondering, anyone interested in changing the name of our group, maybe attracting new people?
I know we're fine the way we are. Though it might be fun to have a few more people.
I haven't thought of a new name, but I think we could come up with something cheerier.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! We currently have 13 (55) clear degrees out there and are looking for a high of 28 (83) under sunny skies with a 4% chance of rain.
Nothing critical on the home front today. Breakfast was a whole wheat waffle sandwich with egg, sausage, and cheese.

Good morning.
It's currently 60F and sunny. High 79F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph. A bit hotter today and tomorrow.
Your breakfasts always sound yummy, Ed. I think I'm going to have some veggies cooked with liquid eggwhites. I bought the eggwhites to use in the frittata with the yolks leftover from the angel food cake where you have to use actual eggwhites (not pasteurized). And now I have extra eggwhites to use, which is easier and less calories anyway!
I have a follow up appt with the surgeon this afternoon. I don't expect any issues.
Another new week. Wishing everyone a good one. 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! We currently have 15 (80 F) clear degrees and are expecting a high of 28 (83 F) under mostly sunny skies, with 3% chance of precipitation.
Tuesday, September 28, is my birthday and my first gift arrived in Monday's post, from my older sister.
I may have to see how this tastes on a burger or patty melt. It was yummy on my sprouted multi-grain toast.
Nothing critical on the home front.

Good morning;
Ed-Happy Birthday!
Vix-Changing the name of the group is fine with me. I will try to come up with a few suggestions.
Hi Irene and Jan.
Enjoy your day! 0 -

Have a good day, everyone.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's currently 15 (59 F) degrees out there under clear skies. We are expecting a high of 30 (72 F) under sunny skies with only a 1% chance of any precipitation.
We ordered in Chinese for my birthday dinner, and then had the immensely rare treat of chocolate cake with ice cream and hot fudge sauce.
Nothing critical on the home front today. Need to get started on work.

Good morning.
Glad you had a nice birthday with some treats, Ed.
I'm getting in some time enjoying our granddaughter, she fell asleep on me yesterday, so sweet.
It's currently a bit chilly, 55F and sunny. High near 70F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
I think I'm going to try making some roasted chickpeas today. I copied out a recipe.
Happy Wednesday, everyone.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! We currently have a cool 16 foggy degrees out there with an expected high of 29 under partly cloudy skies and a 3% chance of precipitation.
Nothing critical on the home front today. The dishwasher is running.

Good morning.
Currently 49F here, sunshine to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High near 70F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
No special plans for today. I may mix up a batch of pumpkin pie spice. The roasted chickpeas were interesting.
Wow, this month flew by. Beautiful early Autumn weather here.
Happy Thursday, everyone.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! We currently have 17 (63 F) foggy degrees with an expected high of 28 (84 F) under partly sunny skies, and a 5% chance of precipitation.
I woke up about 4:30 with a headache, so got on up. I took some ibuprofen and the headache is mostly gone. I did get my flu shot yesterday, and that may have contributed, though I usually don't get more than a sore arm and MAYBE a day of feeling not quite 100%, so probably not.
I may start work a couple of hours early just to get it over with. I only need 5 hours today to get my 40 for the week, and they don't pay more if I work more than 40. It's a salaried position. J, being my boss and a program developer, often works more than 40. And honestly, if there is a great need, I will too. We have a tight deadline on a project that is supposed to be ready today, though that may not happen. My part is limited though, as I can't QA test the product completely until the developers have it completed and, in their opinions, ready to roll. So I may end up splitting the day and working some this afternoon too, but I hope not.
Nothing critical on the home front.

Good morning.
Hope you feel better, Ed. It could be the flu shot. Always good to finish work early on Friday, if you can.
Currently 58F here, sunny. High 69F. Winds light and variable.
I made eggwhites with lox on half a thin gluten free bagel for breakfast. Yum.
No special plans today.
Happy Friday!0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It's currently 20 (68 F) cloudy degrees out there with an expected high of 28 (82 F) degrees under cloudy skies and a 5% chance of rain. It does look like the rain may come Sunday to stay with us well into the week, but that forecast could change.
Nothing is critical on the home front, but I may run the dishwasher today. I might even evaluate the laundry and see if it needs any attention today. And I might get out for groceries and cat supplies since it looks like the next few days aren't likely to be the greatest for that sort of outing.

Good morning.
Currenly 49F here, partly cloudy (so far, mostly sunny). High 77F. Winds light and variable.
Going to watch grandson's soccer learning this a.m. So much fun. Also we picked up this cute little pumpkin costume for the baby at TJMaxx yesterday, so will bring that along for them.
We stopped at a local farm yesterday where you can pick pumpkins and apples, etc. I wanted to try some of their pumpkin ice cream. After a few bites, I realized they had given me apple spice by mistake. It was really good, but now I have to go back and try the pumpkin. I've been obsessing!
Happy Saturday, everyone!

Good morning;
Sounds like everyone is doing well.
I had my yearly physical on Wednesday. Everything looks good and I even managed to lose 9 lbs. She wants me to lose a few more. My cholesterol was a little high, but in my favor the test wasn't fasting. I will go back in 3 months for another blood test. I also have to have a colonoscopy.
My shoulder is still acting up. I have another chiro appt. on Monday.
Such is life as we get older.
Have a great weekend!0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous, soggy Sunday! We currently have 19 (66 F) degrees out there with light rain. We expect a high of 25 (77 F) with probable thunderstorms and the forecast indicates we are not likely to see the sun today. There is a72% chance of rain, but since it's raining now I would give our area a 100% chance.
Breakfast was whole wheat pancakes with some of the bacon hot pepper jam my oldest sister sent for my birthday, along with an egg and two pork sausage links.
A am running the dishwasher now. Nothing else critical on the home front.

Good morning.
It's currently 58F and mostly sunny, but it's going to be warm today. A mix of clouds and sun. High 82F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.
Jo, congrats on the weightloss! Yay, you! and the good test results from your physical, yay. Sorry your shoulder is acting up. Hopefully the chiro will help fix that.
Ed, I'm sure you'll find a way to spend your rainy day. I'm going to enjoy the sun today, rain is in the forecast for most of the coming week.
I think my fibro is acting up, kind of achy all over, probably the changes in the weather have something to do with it.
Hi Irene, Jan, and Val.
Happy Sunday, everyone.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We currently have 19 rainy degrees and a flash flood watch, with an expected rainy high of 21 and no expectation of the sun showing its face today. 100% chance of rain, which I can verify as it was raining when I got up. And I really didn't want to get up. Rainy mornings are great for sleeping in!
We have the fall/winter HVAC checkup today, which will interrupt work a bit, but not too much I hope.
