I've purchased 3 books this week.
M in Oz
I’m reading 4 books at once right now! My DH makes me avoid bookstores (which I won’t) if we pass one! Lol. I’m scared to get a local library card as I would never come home…. Hmmmm I might be onto something there! Lol
L I use the same tortillas from Sam’s! A friend turned me on to them. I used to bake Keto a lot until I realized I have an egg allergy. There is a substance called “Just Eggs” that is an egg free substitute but doesn’t work well for baking- doesn’t rise.
RvRita in Roswell reading…
Had to edit..reading 6 books: an audiobook when I drive, a paperback, a hard cover, one on my phone, 1 on iPad, 1 on my Kindle Paperwhite. Which one I read depends on where I am and what time it is. (All The Lonely People by Mike Gayle (paperback)The Bible on my phone, Stephen King’s Bizarre Dreams (audiobook). Just started Heather’s book on my iPad, Happy is on Hiatus on my Kindle, and an old hardcover Creek Mary’s Blood by Dee Brown).4 -
Lori--Welcome, This is a great group for support and fellowship. Come often and get to know us and we can get to know you.
Lisa--Interesting reading and could explain a lot.
I have a guy that works for me that will not eat anything with parents. He is 84 and can work circles around the younger ones. He says he has eaten that way since 1966.
Viv--Sending big hugs.
Been a long week and think it is because just feeling off. This morning getting up and around to take shower for work and fell over recliner and both of us went down. Not sure what happened and think I twisted my leg. I am also not sure this readmychart stuff is a good idea. Looked up the tests they did and the results and have lots of questions. I go see the heart doctor next Thursday and see what he says. Meantime just tired and rest when I can.
Most the grandchildren have started back to school and our State Fair is here next week. Fall is coming fast and I am so looking forward to cooler weather.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE7 -
Lisa - I feel you. I had to cut back on my marriage issues. It's a book in itself!
Just got lots of photos from my DDIL. Slovenia looks amazing. Here is the love of my life. Edie.
Lanette - I have been to Switzerland as my best friend Ros (who died) lived in Lausanne for a while. I well remember visiting the Olympic office and seeing the mock up of the high jump and pole vault. OMG! I ate horse for the only time ever at a restaurant near the Bishop's Palace. The views from Ros's apartment were amazing.
Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

just hopping in to mention aquafaba (bean juice lol) So that is the liquid you drain off a can of beans - chickpea (garbanzo), kidney, black... I like the garbanzo because of the color. So you use 1/4 cup as a replacement for an egg in baking and it works great - It will beat up like a real egg, but will not hold peaks so you can not use it for meringue - I love it for baking for a vegan, or if eggs are expensive... plus it is kinda cool to use something that would be otherwise trash. I freeze it in 1/4 cup measurements and just defrost and use it as I would an egg.

Good Morning everyone
@kevrit I noticed Sam's Club also had the La Banderita Carb Counter tortilla's but when I was comparing them both together, the Guerrero brand were just a lot softer (fresher??) and looked better.
Yesterday I put my own homemade tortillas in a Ziploc bag and threw them in the fridge.
So I was sitting here earlier this morning wondering what the hell to do with my odd shaped 'nut flour' tortillas that tasted good but weren't as 'foldable' as I hoped they would be, at least not enough to make my wraps like the store bought 'flour' tortillas.
and then it hit me!!
I grabbed a small frying pan, heated up some oil (med. high), threw in one of my homemade tortillas, fried it for no more than 5** seconds on each side, lightly salted it and........ *drum roll* TOSTADOS!!
**remember, these are made from coconut and almond flour which when fried, will brown/burn very quickly
They came out SOOOOOOOO good and crunchy! The apple cider vinegar that I used in my recipe comes through in the fried tostado which just gives them this unbelievable delicious taste...one that is not apparent without this extra 'frying' step.
Making these and then topping them with, shredded cheeses, salsa, ground beef, sour cream, guac..and so on. oh my gosh, I'm drooling just thinking about it. 😋 😛 😝 😜 🤪
In fact, cutting these tortillas into triangles, I have NO doubts they will make perfect tortilla CHIPS too...hello NACHOS!!! oh my yummmm!😋 😛
and the best part...LOW CARB!!
I did the math and each tostado comes out to be:- 115 calories
- 9.75g Fat
- 4.6g Carbs
- 2.8g Fiber
- 3.8g Protein
My 'nutritional facts' INCLUDE the small amount of oil that I estimate each tostado will no doubt retain during the frying process. when calculating the facts, I estimated the oil at 6 tsp per RECIPE so that I could go on to calculate the individual servings
This has got me quite excited. You may have already noticed that, haha....7 -
LOL..umm just excuse my spelling of TOSTADOS which I have since fixed..:D0

This place is just 10 min. away and it starts right at the corner where my daycare girls school is so I can go a half hour or more early and just walk while I wait for her to get out of school. I planned on doing it last year but had not actually been down there but now that I go and know the trails, I feel ok going by myself. I will enjoy the quiet.(and watch for snakes- just little garter snakes but they do startle you if you don't know they are there)
My one friend from zumba likes to walk there and get away- she has her daughter, her boyfriend and either two grandkids or 4 kids, if the boyfriend's kids are there, so she likes the quiet walk too.
Joel usually runs while we walk if he joins us. Yesterday he wanted to just walk. We usually have zumba on Wed. night but it was canceled so we walked instead.
When we do have Wed. class, it is in a park that overlooks the same river- Napa River. So much better to have class outside than inside the building- always a great breeze outside in the evenings.
So glad I have found both zumba and the wetlands- My mood has been so much better. That and changing the music I listen to on the radio- that has made a big difference- only listen to KLOVE in the house or my car.
Got to pet and hold the new kitten- a boy who hasn't actually been named but I was calling him Akushu- STINKY- he uses his litter box all the time- so much for a tiny thing.
He will get a Japanese name, like all the others.
We do have one less inside cat- I had enough of the one that kept peeing on my bed. I sprayed the bed with two different kinds of spray that is suppose to work- woke up in the middle of the night and he had peed right next to my pillow, missed the waterproof pad that we have covering(6 of them) and to the waterproof mattress pad so at 2 AM I was changing sheets/blankets/pads- I would have thrown him out last night but there was a skunk on the back deck and I didn't want to get sprayed when I was getting him out of the catio.
Total craziness still going on at MIL's house- I wish DH would just take control but in a calm way and do what has to be done and nothing more. Not sit there all day and night while she yells at him, accuses him of all kinds of stuff that isn't true. Her latest is she is going to take all the furniture out of the house and put it on the lawn so the homeless people can have it- She doesnt want us to get anything.
Help has been hired to start Monday- two months late in my opinion. She pushes his buttons and pushes too far and then smiles about it and acts like everything is ok.
He needs to put her in an assisted living place, clear the house out and rent it out to help pay for her care and let them deal with her. Not sell the house.
Oh well- not my circus, not my monkeys but I am stuck in the middle if I want to or not.

Rita ~ It takes me forever to get through one book. Guess it's my short attention span as I have gotten older. Growing up, I had a book open for hours and hours each day.
Debbie ~ So sorry about the mnl’s continued berating of your DH. Glad you are finally getting some help. Getting the peeing cat out of the house sounds like a good idea.
Heather ~ Your son’s family is so lucky to be able to go away to visit/vacation new places. Edie looks like she is having a blast.
Pip ~ Love the living area. So cosy. The new rug is beautiful.
Vicki ~ I think you made a typo saying the 80+ man you work with won’t eat with his parents. What did you mean?
I ordered Office 365 and am learning how to use it! I used it a lot when I taught but that has been many years.
Carol in GA2 -
Carol] - I agree they are lucky. It is a privilege. But I'm sure you can imagine the stress and hard work it takes to enjoy the privilege. Non stop pressure. I often worry about my son. Overworking is a given. Sometimes they are just desperate and have to call on us.
I am so happy that they can take a break. Doesn't it look amazing?! First time they have done this kind of touring holiday.

This was the old rug that I sold4 -
It was a good choice, Pip. It's not just beautiful, it brings a lot of light to the room. Changing the dark blue covers on the love seat and chair also helped a lot. Very peaceful room.2

I actually sold that loveseat and chair and got the others. I got the blue and white loveseat for $50!, for the chair I think for $75 . The new rug has blue and yellow coloring to match2 -
