    Ed, the Progresso gluten free soups are good.

    I managed to avoid most of the rain, though I did get sprinkled on a bit. I shopped Whole Foods and Ingle's today. I bought this jar of gluten free vegan Kimchi so we could compare to Jason's homemade. We both tasted the one I bought. It seems a bit sweeter than our homemade version, and a touch more sour, but it has had time to ferment. It has smaller pieces of cabbage than our homemade, but still has a nice bit of crunch to it. It IS rather spicy, so that may be a consideration.

    I'd recommend it for a taste test. It won't break the bank and could help you decide whether you want to make your own.

    good morning

    Ed, we don't have a Whole Foods nearby, but maybe I'll work up my courage to buy some in one of the local stores. 😂

    It's currently 42F, 6C. Sunny. High 66F,19C. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. That's warm!

    I finished foiling my project yesterday. Made some spaghetti squash. Did some reading.

    Wishing all a bright shiny new week. ☕🌞🌟🤞🏻🕊️

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday!

    We have 7 (Celsius) rainy degrees (feels like 5) with an expected rainy high of 13 and 99% chance of precipitation.

    I woke up with rainy day joints and a slight headache. We'll see how the morning goes.

    I got that kimchi at Ingle's and have seen it at Kroger as well. I imagine it's available in many grocery store chains. I haven't looked at Publix. Whole Foods (also known as Whole Wallet) was rather disappointing this trip, but they did have some gluten free foods I had not encountered elsewhere, such as the biscuits mentioned below.

    Supper last night was a cheese omelet and tater tots. Breakfast this morning was almond flour buttermilk biscuits from the freezer with homemade sausage gravy, and a small bottle of orange juice to wash it all down. The biscuits did taste of the almond flour but were nice and fluffy. Pricy, but I might buy again. At any rate, there are 4 left in the freezer to bake another time.

    Bob's Red Mill all purpose 1 for 1 gluten free flour works well for making a roux and the subsequent gravy. It could just be my perception but the country gravy I made seemed fluffier than gravy made with wheat flour. I don't quite know how else to describe that, but it tasted fine and worked well.

    Ed, the Bob's Redmill products are usually pretty good. I have a good chocolate chip cookie recipe with almond flour. I also like some of the gluten free products from Weis or Wegman's which are our local stores. I read that it's better to take gluten free flour out of the package with a spoon rather than a large scoop, because it tends to be denser and that helps lighten it up.

    There are hyacinths blooming!

    Scam of the Week

    Free Game, Costly Malware 

    In this week's scam, cybercriminals are offering a free video game to try to trick you into downloading malware.

    They post a job offer online, claiming that if you download a free game, “PirateFi,” you can be paid to monitor the

    in-game chat feature. The free download and the promise of payment make this a tempting offer. But remember

    that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is!

    This  “free” game actually contains malware, and if you download it, cybercriminals can steal information from

    your web browser. Once they have stolen it, they can use it to access your online accounts. You won’t actually

    receive any form of payment. Instead, the cybercriminals will get paid in one of their favorite currencies – your

    personal data!  

    Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a malware scam:

    • Be wary whenever downloading new software or games. Ensure you have updated antivirus software to
    • protect your computer from possible malware. 
    • Always be skeptical of free deals and easy money. If the offer seems too good to be true, it usually is. 
    • Any job offer requiring you to download software before being hired for the position is likely a scam. Always
    • trust your instincts before clicking and downloading any software, including video games.

    There's also a scam email from a group claiming to be Norton, that they just charged you for upgrading your subscription. The phone number takes you to some non-English native speakers with lots of noise in the background. I think they are trying to get access to your computer. Ignore the email.

    good morning

    It's currently 39F, 4C. Plentiful sunshine. High 72F, 22C. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

    I'm off to stained glass this morning. And will be going for an echocardiogram this afternoon. Busy day. Wishing all a fine Tuesday. ☕🌞🤞🏻🕊️

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

    We have 4 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected toasty, sunny high of 23 and 1% chance of precipitation. I hear the heat running now, but it's possible I may need to let some cooler air in later in the afternoon!

    I had a headache most of the day yesterday and woke up with one this morning too. Dinner last night was meatballs with ketchup, and a couple of buttered "Everything" almond flour biscuits. Breakfast this morning was hot buckwheat cereal (Bob's Red Mill) with a little brown sugar and cream, and some warmed-up Spam.

    More data analysis at work today. Whee!

    Good afternoon;

    It is currently 60F and sunny. I am going out to start raking all the debris from the yard.

    The fence guys came this morning and fixed the fence.

    Ed-sorry you have a headache. Do you think it is the change in weather? It sounds like the cats

    are getting along fine.

    Vix-I get the Norton email and one from Geek squad all the time. I do not subscribe to either.

    How did you get rid of the spacing between sentences? I use a Mac book Pro.

    Hi Irene.

    Enjoy your day!😀

    Hope you feel better, Ed.

    Jo, I don't have Apple, but on my laptop, it only makes spaces when I hit enter to go to a new line. If I just keep typing it doesn't make the extra space.
