I wanted to share with you the beautiful Amaryllis that is blooming in my garden. I received this from a dear friend 3 years ago for Christmas. She was my secret sis that particular year. I treasure it and am so happy it continues to produce blooms.8

Barbara - Powder sugar Falafel 🧆 recipe has bananas in it https://quicheaweek.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/sweet-baked-falafel/
It’s one of the weird things they serve out here it’s actually good! German town here serves them they made it their own lol . I also like their fried bread desserts with powdered sugar there too. It’s served at carnival 🎡 to fairs here y holiday touristy things.

Warning, Peach! - virus talk:
MachkaLOL! well, the Tasmanian government certainly doesn't seem to be at all concerned about the largest reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 (asymptomatic infected people).
So...the Tasmanian government's message is "you don't have to wear a mask to protect yourself from COVID-19".
Yep. That's true!
You have to wear a mask only if you are interested in protecting others from your glitter. If you don't feel like doing that, just leave that pesky mask at home!
Geez.
How irresponsible.
Like I said before, "the optimistic & healthy among us will doom the vulnerable".
I guess if we don't actually see the deaths of the people we kill by not wearing a mask, we can be in denial about it & it doesn't bother us.

Lisa So sorry for your hubby and his sister. Lost my dad & my sister this way.

Heather Did you enjoy 'The A Word'? I might watch it. Are there more than 2 seasons?

Karen in Virginia,who doesn't think wearing a mask is an inconvenience

Karen- The mask still offers the wearer some protection from spit droplets 💧..just not the aerosol spray of it all unless it’s N95.It protects children to elderly around you.

Barbie - pizza is the only food delivery we are allowing in the nursing home so it is probably the safest bet.2

Katla – I like the True Lemon and Lime. Have both in my pantry. Great for enhancing the lemon/lime flavor. Sometimes I add the lemon to water to give it a flavor.
Carol GA – I usually just skip over the posts about COVID. I just find it interesting when someone posts stats of what the numbers are like in the different states and countries. Other than that, I prefer to be optimistic in that this will all be over soon.
Laughing – please stop in often and tell us about your meals. I, for one, would be interested.
Lanette – we also have really clay soil, the red clay stuff. We have found that there’s a cleaner, KrudKutter for Red Clay that works fantastic. Nothing else will get the red clay out, you can even use it on clothes. You have to order it on the internet but you can pick it up at Lowes Hardware. Why they don’t stock it here is a mystery to me. I would think it would be a great seller once word got out about how good it is. Our financial advisor talked about buying and we told him to go for it
Someone told me that using coffee filters works in masks. What do you all think?
Heather – I totally agree with you about immunity. When I was growing up, a/c was an open window. Vince had a/c growing up and I must say that he seems to be more susceptible to illness. And he doesn’t eat a wide variety of food, exercise is non existent, his weight is decent now, fruits? Very little, VERY little, he’s on about 5 different medications (he has a printout of all his meds that he give to the MD/hosp when he needs to)
In a way I wish I could garden. But I live vicariously thru all you ladies who do great at gardening
A friend went to this ceramics place in SC and brought back for me what I had ordered. Honestly, I wouldn’t have gone myself. At least not for a while.
Nanners – how interesting that you mentioned the amaryllis. A friend of mine was here (Vince is helping her with a new monitor), she’s a master gardener, and she said that the leaves on these plants I have look like amaryllis. To my knowledge, I’ve never planted an amaryllis. Guess we shall see if something blooms or not
Barbara – thanks so much for that falafel recipe. I think I can get that into Vince and he won’t know he’s eating garbanzo beans as long as he doesn’t see me putting them in. I will have to alter it some since I don’t do artificial sweeteners. Then again, he won’t eat anything with raisins in it. Can’t do coconut oil so I’ll probably use canola oil instead. Wish it had the nutritionals, but I can put it into the recipe maker-thing here at MFP and get them.

Barbie - when we got pizzas I picked up the boxes with gloved hands, opened it, not touching the pizza and got the pizza out with a fish slice without touching it at all. I had the plates ready. Took the gloves off and washed my hands.
Karen - I've very much been enjoying it. So far 2 series and I've just finished the first one. The boy is amazing! The mother really gets on my nerves. Love the scenery.
My Norwegian series has finished, but a new one starts next week. I still can hardly understand a word.
Barbara - It was 72° in the afternoon the other day. Too hot for me for running. I went out before 8 am. today on a cooler day. It was decidedly chilly. I was definitely under dressed.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

My concern about pizza is that Jake is supposed to be keeping his sodium intake low. Having pizza delivered isn't the concern.
I went down a huge Amazon rabbit hole this morning looking at a replacement CD player for the player that died. There were great choices ranging in price from $20 to $400. Since I can use my computer right now, I will take time to consider what features I want and buy whatever will be the best for us.
About the cable box. No doubt that WAVE cable could send us a new box or leave one at the door, but I want it to be installed by one of the nice agile technicians they employ. Just getting the old one unplugged will required some gymnastic flexibility that neither of us possesses. For now we'll make do with streaming on the big TV and cable on the older and slightly smaller TV. This is such a problem of the privileged, that I am almost embarrassed to share it.

Hi ladies this will be short as it is thundering now. I got some planters done but that's about it on the outside. I'm going through all my stacked up magazines tearing out recipes I want to try and recycling the rest. 'Bout time I got rid of some! Three days of pretty decent food choices and exercise. Take care, Meg7

@wizzywig We actually had a great time on that cruise, which was our first one. We enjoyed all the onboard activities, and I ticked off quite a few items on my bucket list. We have done 2 further cruises, both to Norway. One to see the Northern Lights, and then a second one for our 50th wedding anniversary in July 2016. We treated ourselves to a suite for that one.
We had planned to book another cruise later this year, but have put that on the back burner because if Covid 19. I don’t think cruise ships are a healthy place to be at the moment.3 -
Still catching up…so grateful to wake up to you wonderful women!! Welcome Newbies that I have not reached out to yet!! I am hit with how easy it is to spot the beauty in the world around us with this slower paced life! Also, surprised at my lack of tolerance for the people who continue to put lives at risk. Especially upset at all the essential workers whose lives’, and the lives of their families, are put in danger because others do not think the quarantine is “fair”. This seems like an American entitlement issue. All the demonstrations – many without social distancing or masks…the death tolls are sure to rise again.
Heather I’m sad for you as I see your itinerary for the trip you missed. I hope you get your refund soon! I know I will have a hard time as it gets closer to when we were supposed to go visit our family. We had to postpone our family reunion to next year. Sad for me as I miss the children and grandchildren (last saw the Florida gang at the wedding in MI last November). Summer 2021 seems so far away for seeing everyone!
SuziQ I laughed so hard at the night club stamp!!
Sue Beautiful kitties! I am all over the place trying to catch up…forward, backward, sideways…
Well...I am really far behind now!! I got down about my doggy. He is hobbling around okay, but it is tough knowing what is coming and I love him…and he is such an incredibly good doggy! This is life, and I know that, I just do not always like this part. I am eternally grateful for the wonderful friendship we have. I will not forget that. Afraid I am aware how accepting and faithful pets are compared to people. I am blessed with wonderful friendships and a great family, but something about my greyhounds over the years…I DO know how blessed I am though, and I hope I do not appear ungrateful!!…
Hope everyone is doing okay!! Health, love and safety to All! Luci in WNC

Our supper: Roast beef with mushroom gravy, half baked potato, bi-color corn, green beans and a blueberry muffin made with Kodiak cakes meal

So today I have made bean soup. I had some bean soup broth in ice cubes in the freezer I wanted to use up. Its just broth because dear husband added water every time he came down to stir the soup. I ended up putting it in a bigger pot! As he was putting away dishes he commented on how brothy it was. Jeez, husband! LOL! I ended up straining it, for some lunches and making the ice cubes. So today I added cannelli beans and great northern beans. I like those better than pinto. I made two jars for next week's meals for me. I fried up another beef kielbasa sausage. Its nice on salads, in rice dishes, or my soup. I even have it on toast with avocado as the glue in toast. I am now steaming some bok choy. I made a big bowl of chicken fried rice. Its protein packed! Seven strips of bacon, 8 chicken tenders, 4 eggs, and 9 cups of sticky rice. Then half jar of teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup of honey, 3 tablespoons of bacon drippings. The guys like it. I might have 1/2 cup of it. I am wrestling with the idea of just continuing on with my fast today. I am not really hungry. I might just plow throw until tomorrow. The fact that I cooked everything without tasting any of it, shows I'm getting a handle on appetite correction. I won't eat because of others, I need to just listen to what my body is telling me.👍

Losing weight has that effect. My wedding ring is very loose. I usually stuff the underside with rolled up bit of paper so it doesn't slip off. I have lost it several times, thankfully recovering it each time.
The last time I lost it, I was in Michigan packing treasures, sorting photos and bagging up trash in my mother's old residence. I left to return to her current apartment for supper, looked down and realized my ring was gone! I dashed out, jumped back into my car to go through various piles, trash, boxes, finally locating it in a chest packed with mom's Christmas decorations. It was inside a box of trinkets. Now whenever I work packing boxes, gardening, doing any deep cleaning, my ring gets stored in a safe place. I don't need that kind of stress in my life!🤪😭🙄4 -
Nanner they make plastic ring covers to fit your finger better without damaging (nice cause if you swell up their removable!)
Ring Adjusters (I use one on many of my rings)

Hello all: Very, very windy here today. I am glad Pip does not have to ride her bike to work today. Horses are in the back yard pasture grazing. We got our hole in the arena filled up and the goats are turned out there. DD has mowed the lawn and I did some trimming. My wedding ring is not loose but the ring I inherited from my DGM is. I have started wearing it on a different finger. I have started an afghan for my DD's friend. I think it will turn out nicely.
Welcome to the newbies.
Meg _ Good to see you again here.

Everyone take care, Sue in WA3 -
