Mmmmmmmm...sounds delicious!
Enjoy!
It's kind of a different painting...I was going for another monochromatic, but I'm not really happy with the background, will probably work on it some more, and I think it's really hard to tell it's a poppy.
Roger, I think it is supposed to rain here too, but I think I want to go check out the pottery studio where I signed up for the class. (I did it online, sight unseen!...hope it's good!)
Irene, so sorry your knee is hurting. Good for you for taking the day off, sometimes a day of rest helps.
Have a good night, everyone. 0 -
Good morning;
Today is my late day at work. I have already went grocery shopping, folded and put away laundry and cleaned the bathroom. I am now sitting and enjoying a cup of tea.
It is drizzly and foggy here.
What are you plans for Easter Sunday?
We are staying home and hubby is cooking a leg of lamb, my daughter is making scallops(she doesn't eat meat}.
She is also bring a ricotta cake and I am making strawberry shortcake. We are also having asparagus and roasted potatoes. This will not be an on plan day.
Enjoy your day! 0 -
Hi
I got out walking today early due to the rain in the forecast for this morning. It is gloomy outside and when I left I could see water drops on the cars and wet spots on the street, However I am now home and I had no rain fall on me. Probably because I was ready for it with a Rain jacket and Umbrella. They stayed in my Pocket unneeded
Breakfast in a hour, Wheat Flakes, 1% UHT milk, The last of my NS Strawberry Protein shake
Currently recording a Ste of Fibber McGee & Molly Christmas Album from 78s

Have a Good Good Friday

I found a dime yesterday, nothing today.
The weather here today was rather cool. I had to turn the heat on in my car.
Roger-Did you understand any of the French songs?
Irene-congrats on hitting your rate. Is the rate how much you can pick in a certain time?
Vix-please post a picture of your poppy painting when it is finished.
We have a new bakery in town and I stopped in today and bought 2 good sized chicken pot pie knishes for our dinner. I am sure it is way over my calorie count for dinner, but it sounded really good.
Have a good evening.
Hi Joanne
Since I never had french lessons, not really. OTOH some of them are songs I do remember hearing in the past so I enjoyed them as a change of pace.
Cool is better than hot IMO
They do sound delicious. I do not think I ever saw a Chicken pot pie knish.
Enjoy

Hi Again
Our Meal will most likely be a Free Low Sodium Ham, Depending on Availability Baked potatoes, Vegetables And ??? Not Sure if anything else.
The Ham is free for spending over $400 within a certain time period, same as the free Turkey for Thanksgiving.
I know my brother would like Your lamb, however as a traditionalist it has to Ham for Easter just like it must be Turkey for Thanksgiving
Have a Good Day

Good morning!
Zumba'd this morning. I don't celebrate Easter, so don't have to worry about holiday food. But Happy Easter to all, and enjoy your holiday.
We are planning to go to a Thai restaurant on Monday for my son's birthday, so that will be a challenge.
It rained this morning, but looks like it's clearing up.:)0 -

Hi
One more day until Easter Sunday. 20 degrees colder today than Friday, Still tolerable however. I could even feel the Suns heat on my back when I was walking away from it.
Yesterdays 78RPM records to Computer captures went OK. I had some test pressings and recordings from Recording studios in NYC and Hollywood that were interesting. Today I am looking at doing some more 78s, mainly old humor types that I picked up years ago on a whim.
Have a Great Saturday

Hi Vix
My Brother the traditionalist pretty much requires a traditional Ham Dinner and a Easter Basket for everyone in the house despite that we are dieting
The Thai Restaurant sounds good. I worked next door to one for 16+ years. I hate to think how many Lunch specials I ate there
Good for You that You like the new to You studio. It is always nice to have something to look forward to. The Anticipation must be hard to handle, I know when I am looking forward to something I can hardly wait.
Have a Great Weekend

Hi Irene
I have found some things that I can use for all three meals from the Supermarket.
Quaker Instant Oatmeal tastes good to me, Both the Weight Control and Lower Sugar versions. Then Some of the Jimmy Dean DeLite (Delight?) Sandwiches work for me a complete breakfast replacments. Some of the Lean Cuisine & Smart Ones Frozen Entrees are good Lunch replacements, Range for that to me is 160, 180 up to 230 calories, There is a decent selection in the range. For Dinner Their frozen entrees up to 300 calories work and have many tasty selections too. FWIW the NS Dinners range from a low for the Beef Stew to 300 calories for the Chicken & BBQ Beans Dinner.
Congratulations on Getting Your Steps in, I am somewhat low Yesterday and Today, OTOH I was high when I walked to the barber shop and back so it should still be over 70,000 steps for the week.
Have a Really Food Weekend
Roger0 -
Good afternoon;
Irene-is the rate 280 per day? Sorry George isn't feeling well,hope he feels better soon.
Vix-I am glad you like the new Studio. I hope you will be able to find some good options at the Thai restaurant.
Roger-I usually like to have ham on Easter, but hubby wanted lamb this year. I like both, so it was no problem.
Irene-another option for breakfast is Gardenlites muffins. I like the carrot berry muffins, 120 calories per muffin.
There also vita top muffins. These are both in the frozen food section.
Have a good evening. 0 -
I've been kind of chilly all day, even though it's kind of warmish out. Hope I'm not catching something!
Sounds like you're all really busy walking around and getting things done.
We went grocery shopping and I put together and hung some wind chimes I've been making pieces for. That was kind of fun. Also potted a plant for my daughter and one for my massage therapist. Spent some time working on a sudoku!
Wishing you all a Happy Easter tomorrow. 0 -

Happy Easter

Hi Joanne
Of I said I had not thought of looking in the freezer section for muffins, if they taste good they sound like a good replacement for the NS Shelf Stable muffins that are also higher in calories than what you mention.
Under the Eating Out guide for Thai Food it shows
http://www.nutrisystem.com/jsp/myaccount/guides/eating-out-guide.jsp?fd=thai_food
That link works if logged in BTW, It does not seem to work if logged out.
Good Choices
Satay and steamed mussels
Healthy soups: tom yum koong, pak taek
Salads
Vegetable-heavy dishes
Stir-fried, sauteed, braised, steamed
Basil sauce or basil leaves
Lime Juice
Fish sauce, hot sauce
Napa, bamboo shoots, black mushrooms, ginger, garlic
Bad Choices
Deep-fried, crispy, golden brown
Curry sauce (made with coconut milk)
Eggplant (most often fried)
Duck dishes, usually high in fat and fried
Curry dishes and coconut milk dishes
High sodium soups: tom ka gai, chicken coconut soup
Tips
Make more/less spicy
More veggies/less meat in dish
Substitute vegetable oil for coconut oil
Dressing on the side
Substitute scallops or shrimp for beef in dish
The Ham is in the oven, My Brother Boiled it while I was out to reduce the sodium, We will see how that works. They were out of the Low Sodium ones when he picked up our free Ham the other day. The Low Sodium was good Last year, The Year before the regular one was so salty neither of us was in love with it. That did make it easy to avoid overeating OTOH
Have a Great Easter

Hi Vix
Just in case it helps I put the Thai Food section of the NS Eating Out Guide in my reply to Joanne.
FWIW I usually order Pad Thai a lot of the time.
BTW The Columnar Apples trees are suitable to be grown in a pot on a Patio if You can shelter them for the winter.
Have a Great Sunday
Roger0 -
Oh, those are interesting apple trees, never seen them before!
Thanks, Roger...I'm pretty limited anyway as I can't have noodles or rice or peppers or potatoes...I checked the menu, was looking at ginger shrimp and scallops or beef and broccoli in garlic sauce. Will also need to ask for no msg. Picky, picky.
Jo, I am being lazy today too. I like it....finished up that 5 piece sudoku I started yesterday.
Happy Easter, happy Sunday, everyone. 0 -

Hi
I did go out walking in the rain, No Singing in the rain however. I did put on full rain gear. I ended up overdressed towards the end of the walk with the Hoodie under the rain jacket. I did get Damp inside the shoes.
Yesterday We got the 10 Raspberry plants, the Blackberry plant, The Three Columnar Apple trees, and three of the four bundles of the various types of Onions planted. We were both tired by the time we were finished doing the digging and planting. Watered them in and now with today's rain they should be good for a couple of days with no watering needed The rain in the forecast is why the push to get them in the ground on Sunday.
Have a Great Monday

Hi Vix
It is now slightly after 11AM and the rain appears to ceased, yea!
I thought of You and Your patio when I saw those Apple trees could be raised in pots.
I Would also ask for no MSG if I thought of it, However much of the Chinese Take Out places say prominently on their menu no MSG.
I hope that Easter was good for You
Have a Nice Monday

Hi Irene
I found one whole cent today when I went out walking in the rain. I figure I must be crazy going out in the rain instead of waiting for it to end. It is more the fact that I am a creature of habit (Routine) that put me out in the rain, It was that time
I went off Plan myself Sunday, The scale was not as unkind as I was afraid it would be. Those things can be evil.

Hi Joanne
It was a Cooks brand Ham of course. My Brother was amazed that the the label showed 23% of the weight was added ingredients, which seems higher than last year.
It was fine after being boiled and rinsed first then baked. We had it for lunch and I ate a lot as it was so good along with Mashed Potatoes and home made ham gravy and a Fuji Apple. For Dinner I used a 60 calorie Sandwich wrap that my brother had bought. That was the only good part of dinner, Then I took that and put some light mayo on the wrap, lots of ham sliced across the grain for easy eating, A Slice of 40 calorie Velveeta and Lettuce, Very tasty Too. Then I added a couple of Clementines and the rest of the 1/3 head of lettuce that I picked up that morning for 59 cents.
On the good side we plan to Vacuum seal and freeze the rest of the ham for later use. And Thus temptation will be gone.
Then we went back out and finished the planting later on.
Have a Good Day

Good morning, back from yoga. Off to a massage in a few minutes. We had a nice weekend. Didn't really do much, but I think I needed that.
Sounds like everyone had a nice weekend.
It was raining here this morning, but now the sun is out. Will be going out tonight to celebrate my son's b-day tomorrow. Looking forward to spending some time with the kids. 0 -
Ended up going off my regimen just a bit. Had the Thai red curry with shrimp. Didn't have the rice. The only thing I shouldn't have had was the spicy pepper sauce, but it was so good! Swelled up a little, drank a lot of water...I think it's better. The ginger stir fry and the garlic stir fry were not gluten free, so I would have been off with either of those too. I'll see how I feel later and tomorrow. My son really liked the spice rack I gave him, he just sent me a picture....already set it up! (It's a youcopia spice stack...I love it, they now have them at Bed Bath and Beyond).

good morning, back on plan or better than I was yesterday towards the end of my shift one of the new managers and told me I was getting a verbal coaching because back on January 16 I picked from the wrong bin. Of course I was upset why wait until now to say something to me this like 3 months later I guess they need something on me since I was able to get my rate up. Everyday I see more of my friends being fired . I did tell them that I was going to fight it but there really isn't much I can do but I will look into it.Eek glad you enjoyed yourself dinner sounded nice. I did get my walk in I already got 8880 steps in so I should be in good shape today .0

Good morning!
It's another chilly day here.
Sorry about your work situation, Irene. There is so much going on in businesses that is just not right. Many companies do not follow ethical practices. Bullying at any level is not acceptable.
Good that you are getting your walking in .
Wishing everyone a good day.

Hi
It was very windy outside starting in the afternoon and building in the evening. By this morning the wind and wind chill were tolerable.
I did make a stop at the grocery store for Fuji Apples, Somewhat greenish Bananas a I still have a ripe one for tomorrow and Heads of lettuce
For Breakfast I had Multi-Grain Cheerios, and a Banana, the banana before I walked and the Cereal after the walk.
Have a Great Tuesday

I agree, at one time You could work at one business until You retired. Now they want loyalty from You, Not towards You however, That is gone. In so many ways it is now all about the almighty Dollar. The current attitude seems to be work the heck out of the employee and throw them out and get lower cost replacements once they reach any kind of decent pay and benefits.

Hi Irene
I am currently at 7,400+ steps for the day. I would have gone longer except that the backpack with all the food in it was getting heavy. Hopefully the added weight will make up for the somewhat lower distance. You would not think that 7 bananas, 4 Medium large Apples and two large heads of lettuce would be so heavy
It make me wonder if a better quality backpack would carry weight better. I only paid $10 for this one at the local sporting good store, I think it was on sale at the time and I lucked into it. The Salesman started off showing me ones for around $200, and worked downwards in price Until he pulled out the $10 one when Is said It is only an experiment to see if it is practical and for a short period every couple of weeks.
It sounds as if You should get ready as it does seem as if they want to get rid of higher paid workers with more paid days off etc.
Good Luck

Good afternoon;
Sunny but very windy.
2 people called in sick today at work. I didn't stress out, I just did as much as I could in the time allotted.
When I got out of my car after work, I heard a bird making a strange noise. I finally located the bird in my neighbor's tree. It was a red tailed hawk.
Irene-I am sorry about your work situation. Have you been looking for another job?
Vix-Happy birthday to your son.
Roger-How long did you boil the ham for? I will keep that in mind next time I want ham without a lot of salt.

Hi
Another Day, another walk
7500+ Steps and 15 Cents today, Whee....
The Weather is clear and just above freezing so I wore a sweatshirt & over that a Hoodie. Walking I am listening to a old time radio shows. Intro to the show goes
There he goes, into that drug store. He's stepping on the scale.
Weight, two hundred thirty-nine pounds.
Fortune ... danger.
Whoooooooooo is it?
The Fat Man.
Have a Great Wednesday

P.S. I'm back now, we ran down to a store that has been sold and the people we both knew are leaving and Said Goodbye. We will have to decide if the new owner is worth dealing with.Joanne3366 wrote: »Good afternoon;

Hi Joanne
I think it was boiled for about 1.5 hours, drained and baked in the oven until tender.
It is a hard thing to learn, Prioritize and then do what You can and the rest will just have to take care of itself
I do not think I have heard any hawks here. I do see them flying around, what I here are Owls and Woodpeckers.
Have a Good Afternoon.

Hi Irene
If I were having excruciating Knee pain I would not go for a walk either.
I hope the doctor is able to help, have You considered using a cane to help take some of the load off of the knee?
Good Luck
Roger0 -
Yikes, Irene....that sounds terrible...I hope the Dr. can help you quickly, at least get something for the pain so you can sleep til it gets fixed.
Jo, we have lots of hawks around here....some of them are very pretty.
Roger, yeah, the world is a mess and the reporting is awful.
Anyhow, we've got problems with our water heater....it's going to take them a week to 10 days to get the part unless we want to pay an extra $150 for them to get it by the weekend. We won't be here next week anyway, so we'll wait. Luckily the water heater is under waranty so we'll only pay for labor, but the sump pump which is also having a problem is not under waranty. Home repairs are the pits.
Went and had my hair color touched up today.
Sunny, windy, and chilly here.
Hope you're all having a good day. 0 -
good morning, went to the dr and he put me on a medical leave he didn't want to say what our next step is untill we get the results back from mri I will be off untill the 25 th but just from resting it and staying off has helped still pain but not so bad.Today I need to take papers to Amazon to start my leave . So how it works is the first 8 days I won't get paid for but after that I get 60% of my pay oh well at least it is something.Eek sorry to hear you are having problems with your water heater .Jo that must of been neat to see an hawk! well take care0

Good morning!
Irene, glad you are getting some time off to rest your leg. Good to stay off it as much as possible and not aggravate it.
I'm glad we'll be away next week. My daughter said we can shower at her house, plus we can shower at the gym. I heated some water in my teakettle this morning to wash the pots from last night.
Painting class this morning. I think I'm going to try the poppy from scratch. I wasn't that happy with how the last one came out. It'll be fun to try some other methods of doing the same thing.
Supposed to warm up to 70 today before it starts getting cold again.
Enjoy your day! Keep smiling! 0
