- Yesterdays kickoff at 6:30 on 6.30 was funny!
- Up early, but the Tucker isn't a fan of the trash trucks! Ugh... Only got half our walk and business done!
- Long day ahead. Hoping the WH extends our Thursday holiday to Friday!
Cheers,
Skipper0 -
Good morning.
If the WH extends the holiday, then pencil pushers in the Department of Fisheries and Interpretive Dance don't use their vacation, Skip. Then I have to pay them out some day.0 -
Good morning BBB
I'd love your Lentil soup recipe, Steph!
DH says my perrinial garden in side yard needs tending to. So I best go look, get to it when I can today.
Where'd June go?
We will depart Wed. For 11 days at lake. Best make a list.
Private sector often says use it or lose it. No pay out on unused vacation days. Me included. Unless you quit, then pay accrued vac.
Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning BBB friends.
Sassy is three years old today. She says she doesn’t feel any different. She’s sleeping at my elbow as I type.
Have fun at the lake.0 -
Good Morning,
Another hot and humid day, Pablo has already had his morning walk; 2.5 miles, I came in due to humidity with clothes soaked to point could wring sweat out.
Continues HOT and HUMID, did get 1/2 inch rain over 3 days; none in forecast for next week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sassy ! ! !
Just informed DW is having her Emmaus group here at 6, guess me and Pablo will either go downstairs or out for walk, but temps will be low 90's.
Need to get busy and help DW straighten house.0 -
Good morning BBB Friends.

- Hoping Lou finds some cool air.

Morning BBB
Headed to the gym soon. Today is my big weightlifting day. Ron has a massage at noon and then we need to hit up Sam's.
Mary here is lentil soup recipe. It make a large pot full. We eat it for 4-5 meals. It tastes way better if you make it at least one day ahead.
Saute one diced onion 3 diced carrots and garlic with a little oil. When slightly browned add 3-4 diced potatoes, can of green beans, can of diced tomatoes, not drained (I prefer rotel original), one bag of sorted brown lentils and 2-3 tablespoons of boullion soup base. I use vegetarian but beef is also good. I also sprinkle in some trader Joe's umami seasoning if I have it. Add water to 2 inches below lip of pot, probably 6 cups or so. Simmer for at least an hour, it's better if it can simmer for 3 hours. Stir occasionally and add water if it gets too dry. It's a pretty thick soup, almost like a chili consistency.
Ron eats his with a scoop of guacamole and we top with crushed peanuts for crunch and protein. I add black pepper to mine but with the canned veggies and soup base it really doesn't need salt IMO.1 -
Thank you Steph!!!!
Good protein meal....0 -
Good evening
We’re having spring like weather here in Indiana. I put a fire in the solo stove last night and tonight. Ate outside. Gorgeous but a tad cool. Ha.
Steph. The soup sounds great.
Happy birthday to Sassy0
