Tonight's cottage pie, for Wednesday night supper, made with 80/20 Duroc pork, and my usual onions, peas and carrots, and, unusually for me, sweet corn, topped with garlic mashed potatoes.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have -1 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 20 and 1% chance of precipitation.
We will see what the workday brings.

good morning
Ed, that cottage pie looks like wonderful comfort food. yum.
Irene, I hope your foot is ok.
Did you get much snow, Jo?
I got in to see the Dr. yesterday. I have strep throat, so on the bright side, antibiotics will make me feel better in a couple of days. Yay.
It's currently 34F. Plentiful sunshine. High near 60F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Our housecleaner is coming today. I'm so lucky. I love a clean house.
Maybe I can go outside later and enjoy the warmth and sunshine.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning;
Vix-Hope you feel better soon. We only got about an inch or two of snow, most of it is already gone.
Currently it is 34 and the sun is shining, supposed to get up to 48 later today.
I can't wait to start working in my garden.
Nothing on the agenda today, will see what the day brings.
I just finished reading American kingpin by Nick Bilton.
Have a great day! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 12 (Celsius) degrees and light rain with an expected overcast high of 16 and 99% chance of precipitation.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I will be cooking corned beef and cabbage today. Is anyone else cooking?
We only have corned beef once a year, so it is very much enjoyed.

I had corned beef hash (from a can) for breakfast, with eggs. But for St. Patrick's Day dinner I am making a different kind of hash of corned beef, shredded cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and onions, none of the vegetables being cut particularly small. I haven't made it this exact way before but expect it to be good. In prior years I usually made something like it with the leftovers anyway so decided to cut right to it this year.

good morning
Ed and Jo, enjoy your corned beef dinners!
Irene, I hope you're doing ok.
It's currently 57F here. Cloudy with occasional rain showers. High 59F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
I went for my lab tests this morning. And then for a nice relaxing massage.
I have a lot of laundry to do and some other things around the house.
Wishing all a happy Friday and a great weekend ahead.

Well, here's what the hash looks like. I made it at lunchtime. It is quite tasty. I may have more for St. Patrick's day supper, but maybe not. I might go out to pick up something for both of us, or possibly order in.

good morning
Ed, looks good. I haven't had corned beef in a long time. It's yummy.
We had pasta with a ground turkey bolognese last night. A comfort food treat for me.
I'm feeling better, still have a bit of a rough throat and cough, but much better than before the antibiotics.
No special plans for today. I have a butternut squash I'll probably turn into soup.
It's currently 36F. Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 49F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
Wishing all a wonderful weekend.

Good morning;
We went out for breakfast this morning. I had a veggie omelet, ate some and brought the rest home. I will have breakfast for the next 2 days. Tonight we are going to Marlborough Country Club for an outing with the the MG club that hubby belongs to.
Have a great day! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 4 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like 1) with an expected mostly sunny high of 11 and 1% chance of precipitation. Tonight is supposed to get back in freezing temperatures again, as is tomorrow night. I don't know if it will be cold enough to clobber my blueberry bushes like last year or not.
Leftover corned beef hash for breakfast was even tastier than yesterday's lunch. Still enough for a large serving left.
I need to get to the grocery store sometime this weekend.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous sunny Sunday!
We have -1 (Celsius) degrees (feels like -6) with an expected mostly sunny high of 8 and 0% chance of precipitation.
I got out yesterday, but not to a grocery store. We had dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant after our visit to a plant nursery with the friend who came to see us, meeting another friend there and her mother.
We also got plants, but not many. J found a couple he wanted and there was a Begonia with polka dotted leaves that we both liked. The flowers are very tiny and not showy at all, cute, but it's the leaves that stand out.
I asked about a succulent with dark, mottled coloring on the leaves, but it wasn't for sale. However, it belonged to the man working that day, and he generously gave me some cuttings to root. Then I picked up three bits of a bright green burrow's tale that the lady ahead of us had purchased, as they had naturally dropped when she picked it up to go. I will try to root those as well.
When it warms up a bit, I plan to get out to Kroger, and maybe to Lidl as well.

good morning
Jo, your outings seem like fun.
Ed, your new plants sound nice. I've never heard of a burrow's tale, I'll have to look that up.
Hi Irene.
It's cold here , but the daffodils and hyacinths seem to be doing ok so far.
It's currently 26F. Sunshine to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 41F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
I washed 2 of our comforters yesterday and made some butternut squash soup.
Wishing all a relaxing Sunday.0 -
Well, I spelled it wrong, but the burro's tail I got pieces of looked a lot like the main one in this picture, except that the mother plant was all the lovely bright green. I suspect the one in the picture was getting uneven light.
When they get long, they dangle, and naturally drop bits off, which will then often root where they land. I should be able to get these going without much difficulty. Three of the nodules dropped off and I put them all into a small pot. If I can keep them alive, I will have to repot them when they get going.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have -3 (Celsius) clear degrees (feels like -7) with an expected sunny high of 13 and 1% chance of precipitation.
I had the fire going last night for a while. I did get the groceries done and a load of laundry is in the dryer waiting to be folded.

Ed, I like that burro tail, very pretty. I have some succulents, I think they're probably a type of sedum, but they also grow well from leaves that fall off.
It's currently 25F. Winter weather on the first day of Spring. Abundant sunshine. High 51F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
I have an appt with a neurologist this morning. Nothing else planned for the day.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week.

SCAM OF THE WEEK:
Hiding Behind Namecheap
The web hosting company Namecheap was the latest victim of a combined hacking and phishing attack. In this attack, cybercriminals hacked into SendGrid, Namecheap’s email service. Then, they used SendGrid to impersonate businesses by hacking into their email services.
To start the scam, cybercriminals sent emails with links that led to fake websites. These websites looked real and were even hosted by Namecheap’s web hosting service. If you were to visit these websites, you'd be asked for your personal information, payment details, and login credentials. Unfortunately, cybercriminals could then use this information for their own malicious purposes.
Follow the tips below to stay safe from similar scams:
• Never click a link in an email that you aren’t expecting. Instead, open your internet browser and navigate to the organization’s official website.
• Even if the sender’s email address is from a trusted domain, the email could be fake. Cybercriminals can gain access to trusted domains to make their scams more believable.
• When you receive an email, stop and look for red flags. For example, watch out for emails that were sent outside of business hours and emails that contain spelling or grammatical errors.

good morning,
today I go for my mri of my foot0 -
Good morning;
Irene-good luck with your MRI.
Ed-cute plant, if you paint a face on the pot, the plant will look like hair growing.
Vix-good luck at the neurologist.
Today is laundry and going to my daughter's to let in the exterminator. Last week there were no mice in the traps, hopefully this week will be the same. He plugged up all the holes where they could come in.
We are supposed to get up into the 60's today.
Have great day! 0 -
good morning
Irene, good luck with your MRI.
Ed, there are so many online things I just don't get involved with! I guess that's a good thing. 😂
Jo, good that the exterminator plugged the holes. Hopefully no mice, and hard to find holes. Enjoy the warmer weather.
The neurologist was nice. She didn't have a copy of my MRI, but she said from the report, it seemed ok, and she gave me an exam. I'll get a copy of the MRI on disk for her for my follow up in a few months.
I'm going to clay crafters this afternoon.
It's currently 32F. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 61F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

I was reading some news this morning and found this :
"Most Americans lack experiences from their own lives to make sense of scientists’ warnings that the Earth could warm by up to 1.5 degrees Celsius above acceptable levels. To them, it is a small, meaningless number.
By translating that figure to its Fahrenheit equivalent — 2.7 degrees — it can take on a clearer meaning. Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist, uses the analogy of a fever: Think about how much worse you feel when you run a fever of 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit, 2.7 degrees above normal. That fever is the equivalent of what the planet is facing."
We need to get a grasp on Celsius as you have, Ed!0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 7 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 18 and 45% chance of rain.
Plenty to test today, and laundry still waiting to be folded and put away.
