Marie, I found this easy looking recipe for bean burgers. Most of the recipes I've used take forever, use too many ingredients and make loads of burgers. This one looks simple.
Bean Burgers by Jeff Novick
- One Can Kidney Beans, No Salt Added, drained & rinsed well
- 1/2 Cup Cooked Brown Rice (short grain works the best)
- 1/2 Cup Regular Rolled Oats (or ~1/4 cup cornmeal)
- 2 TB Home Made Salsa (or any salsa, ketchup, or BBQ sauce)
- Spice (about 1 tbsp dried)
Mash Beans by hand
Add in all other ingredients and mix well
Form into patties
Grill (or broil) on each side till lightly golden brown
Add in about 1 tbsp of your favorite dried spice

Happy soggy Monday!! It was beautiful this morning but I had a doctor's appointment so no pool. I went for my shoulder which has been bothering me especially when I sleep. I figured it would be the same "old age" answer but he said it is rotator cuff with a possible small tear which happens to a lot of people over 60, so I was half right.
He gave me a cortisone shot and 6 weeks of therapy. If not better than an MRI. He also gave me some home exercises to do since I am leaving Saturday and won't be able to start therapy until I return. I asked if I could still hit some tennis balls with my son and he said I can do whatever I want. The cortisone shot should help but was warned it will hurt more before it gets better for about three days. I am glad I went, I sort of put these things off because I think they will go away by themselves.
It was sunny when I got out of office and after running a few errands I texted Lisa and asked if she wanted to go to pool. The sky was already getting dark but she came for about a half hour before the rains hit and hit they did.
Stopped for now but more expected. What a horrible summer.
It is already dinner time so I am just checking in, will be back in the morning.

Good evening. I am sorry to hear of your shoulder problems Sandy. At least you know something of what is going on now. I hope you feel better soon and that the home exercises help while you're out of town.
Shirley. My goodness another great event coming up soon. I hope you have a wonderful time and that the weather is cooperative.
Gayla. Sorry you lost your post. It happens to all of us from time to time.
Anne. Happy Monday to you. I hope you enjoyed your show. I watched a movie this afternoon which was pretty heart-breaking. It's called "Cake" with Jennifer Anniston. Has anyone else seen it?
Jackie. Happy hunting in the sale venues. There's always something to look at. I heard from the company selling my dad's stuff. They've changed their minds again and instead of doing online auctions for the smaller items, she's now decided to include everything into a big sale she's having the 24th and 25th of July. I hope I don't have to pay storage indefinitely.
Phoebe. Good to hear from you as well and sometimes my ribs feel better and other times it aches like crazy. I'm a slow healer though so nothing new.
Hi Patsy and Buzz!!
I posted on my news feed that I'll be out of town again tomorrow. This time it is for the closing. The HUD statement has been prepared and the buyers had their final walk through this afternoon. So I hope there are no surprises tomorrow morning. I asked for an afternoon closing so of course, it's scheduled in the morning. I have lots of things I'd like to accomplish while I'm there so I guess that is fine.
Hugs to all............talk to you again soon.

I finally caught up with all the posts. Whew!
So much going on with everyone. Love the ghost stories, my girlfriend Elli, who passed, was very intuitive and could see spirits.
Today was mostly cleaning, laundry and cutting and freezing my Kale. I did take in a Yoga class and meditation and really
needed it. Now tired and my back is sore.
My washer decided to flood on the laundry room floor. Dave checked it out after he got home from the boat and I did
two more loads and nothing happened again. I don't know what was with it. What a mess to clean up.
I hope to keep up until Thursday when we leave again for our club cruise long weekend and extending our vacation too.

Shirley Do you know how to find Hello Healthy? I can't find it
Lin I copy and save that bean burger and will be making some this week. Thanks sweetheart
Stay safe on the road. finish that business up. good luck on it.

Shoot! Lost a long post when I discovered I was on page 114 instead of 115. Now too sleepy too repeat it! Just think I should answer JACKIE's question about coincidence of card fraud and computer scam. I doubt they are related. Several seniors have received calls regarding "compromised" credit cars. They are strictly "phishing " calls from disgruntled employees, people who steal numbers from gas pumps, and other thieves. The credit card companies are overwhelmed trying to keep up with the fraud; and this is international, not just local! What craziness! I'm yawning widely, and off to bed!

I didn't know I did the above. I was catching upup reading posts and next thing I know,, I've dropped my phone.
Good morning to all but too early for me so goodnight, again0 -
The heat has arrived but with a sea breeze even 20 miles from the coast, it's perfect! Went swimming at the local indoor pool first thing and am now mixing a bit of housework with gardening as the mood takes me. This evening George and I will be walking with a couple of friends and their respective dogs around our local reservoir, taking a flask of tea, water for the dogs and a sticky bun for everyone!!
Hope to return later tonight. Have a lovely day everyone.

Hello sneakers
Do you think I can shape those beans bungers to look like hot dogs. I have never been much Of a meat eater but I do like the processed meat I love wieners,, baloney, ham, sausage but not fresh meat Maybe I need to check into the soy ones.
Be safe Lin on your trip and thanks for the recipe I got it save and plan on using it. Hoping to find some gluten free buns
no I don't want to make my own.
Sandy take care of your shoulders. I still have a neck pain need to get it check out
Have a great day you guys Marie 0 -
Hi, just me checking in to report I tried JACKIES veggie and bean burgers and I found them tasty. Enough for 4 burgers, so I've got tomorrow's lunch in the fridge. I tried Jackies recipe first because I prefer potatoes to rice, and it reminded me of fish cakes which I make all the time. I'll give LINS recipe a go at the weekend, and I bet it will be just as good. I didn't have to use a bun, the burger was filling enough without, what with the potato and carrots, and I will make it again.
Bye everybody, Anne.0 -
Hello folks, I am still sort of under the weather. Last night I had a dinner like I used to do in college! Bran flakes, milk and an aspirin before early bedtime. Of course, in art school that dinner was because I had spent an all-nighter getting some project or paper written the night before and no sleep. Cereal and milk is my "go to" meal when feeling pooky. This thing that has me down is weird. I feel like some mean creature beat me with a hammer in the night. I get up barely able to walk. After a bit, I loosen up and am on the road again, so to speak. I know! Whine! Whine! Whine!
Have any of you ever sold any thing on eBay? I need to unload a lot of stuff that I am sure has value but really I am not wanting to do a yard sale. I wish I my daughter or my son had an interest in any of my collected stuff. It is some what unfair of me to expect them to enjoy my collections! We each have our own interests. Be it ever so!
One of my favorite cookbooks for lively vegan receipes is the Moosewood cookbook. Not sure it is in publication anymore. I got mine during my hippy days in Colorado. We ate home baked bread, ate bulgar and sprouted our own sprouts! Raised veggies in a commune garden. Good times! Healthy way of eating. Both of our kids love veggies because of growing up with a vegetable garden.
Lin: hope the closing goes along without a hitch. Your experience with your dads estate has me realizing I need to do more to organize and purge a lot of un-needed stuff around here. I know our kids would not be able to handle things like you did. You did a loving and responsibile job in regard to your parents estate.
Another steamy day here. Not as bad as a couple of days ago but still unseasonably warm and no rain! We are dreading the July 4th weekend. Fireworks and a dry forest...bad combination.
Creaky but still operational,
Patsy

Marie - I get Hello healthy on my emails. They come to me from MFP.
I had a chiropractor apt this morning, my usual, but in time. On the way home from the wedding I was getting a pain down my
leg so I needed a treatment. Better now, I still have to put heat and cold on it.
Doing ironing today and tomorrow packing. I picked up some groceries for a few days while we are away but forgot
a few things that weren't on my list. So I will have Dave pick them up. I also gassed up my car and my usual
pump place was being renovated so I had to go elsewhere. I also picked up my soaps from a lady who used to
have a booth at the farmers market but I found out she will be moving to Northern Ontario. I got 4 bars and one free.
I went to her house, it was beautiful and big and back in the woods. She said she found a place on the water,
I wonder how much that cost them.
Yesterday while doing laundry I went down to get things out of the dryer and there was a back up of sorts and water
all over the floor. What a mess! Dave called the Town and they came out to check it out. They said there were
some roots they saw so they will come back in a few weeks and dig it out. I went in the shower this morning and
some of it was there too. It seems to be back to normal, they figure something was clogged and it gave way.
NICE!
I will be going to a restorative Yoga class tonight. I have been missing so many classes because we are always
away. Good thing I paid for 20 classes, I did catch a class yesterday morning, my usual.
Well have to get ironing.
Shirley0 -
I found it Shirley on the side of news feed But have not run across the recipe yet
Marie0 -
Shirley, do you get any swelling in your feet with the leg pain? I've had the sciatic nerve pain on and off for years, now I have lots of swelling in the left foot and ankle. The usual remedies aren't working. May have to make an appt. for my left leg.. falling apart!!
Patsy, I've sold a few things on Ebay, not much and no real value to the items. I would do an Ebay search for what you want to list. Then you get an idea of the prices and the type of auctions.. Buy It Now, or make an offer or regular make a bid type of auction.
Sandy, I know from Jim's experiences that the rotator cuff is a very sore spot!! There are easy exercises that will eventually ease the pain, unless it is going to need surgery.. then it may not ease your pain. Be careful at therapy.
For some reason, my back is hurting in the sitting position I need to be in to use my laptop.
Back later

Hello – home. Dad’s acreage is gone now and I came back with a check. I’ve gone through the process of getting it deposited and now it must sit there while the bank makes sure it is okay so about 10 business days. The check is from the trust account of the law firm that held the closing. Apparently no check is trusted these days.
Jackie – I hope your walk this evening was very enjoyable. It sounds great to me. Well, except the sticky buns--the walking sounds just fine. And I’m glad the weather is enjoyable. We are having nice temperatures but it is so smoggy from the smoke of the fires up North. The sun came up this morning and was just an eerie orange color.
Marie – I think you should make your bean *burgers* in any shape that you like as long as they cook up okay. I only eat burgers that I make. I don’t care for any that you can buy in the store. Too many ingredients I care to avoid!
Anne – I looked at the recipe Jackie posted but I am too tired to think of translating it to measures and temperatures over to things that I understand like cups and fahrenheit! I’m glad yours turned out well. Excellent! And I don’t claim credit for that recipe, I didn’t make it up! I just found it and it looked simple.
Patsy – I am sorry you’re under the weather. And that you feel beat up. Very unpleasant for you my friend. Hey, I am still a hippie I guess. I love growing sprouts and I make my own yogurt (although I gave up bread making quite a while ago)! I’ve heard of the Moosewood cookbook and you can still get old copies of the first edition through Amazon. But new editions have been published and I almost purchased one a few months ago but since I’m not just vegan, but also do not use oil, salt, or sugar, I doubt the recipes would suit the way I cook. On another topic, I have never sold anything on eBay although I’ve purchased a number of times. Good luck on whatever you decide to do. I realize now that it is very difficult to sell things!! I still have some things on consignment and will be taking more in and have items to go to the antique shop and all the household stuff is in storage waiting to be sold. And I have kept a number of things in my mom’s collections and many of my dad’s wildlife prints but I’ll tell you that my friends have told me they’ve spoken to their children and NONE of them are interested in any of their prized possessions. It’s kind of sad.
Hi Shirley and Phoebe. I’m getting too tired to see straight and want to post this before I lose it.
Hugs to everyone.

Wow Lin has a pile of Money yeah for her. Be careful about making it too public. you never know who is reading all of this. But certainly glad you got it all settle .now you can relax.
As for me I am heading for bed see you all in the The morning Marie

Thanks Marie. Changed my post a little bit. I guess it sounded kinda bad.....
Nite0 -
Lin glad you're home and with a little of the weight off your hands. What fires are these? I haven't seen the news except for Washington state fires. I'm up tooo late. We get up at 5am today, so nite all0

Phoebe the smoke is from fires far away. Canada I think they said.0

Good morning everyone. It's hot and threatening thunderstorms today so have walked in the woods and now getting myself ready to go to view the auction. A friend joining me as she wants to take a look at a 1st edition book while I rummage through the furniture. Last night's walk was dreamy with a gentle breeze and 3 dogs that had a ball running and playing, so much so I think it was the best time George ever had although the other dogs didn't quite understand his lack of social skills. Poor little man doesn't understand or know how to play so does his own thing rushing up the track and back doing his zoomies. Well done ANNE for trying that recipe already so I'll give it a try later today. MARIE, I'm sure you know how many naughty additives are in processed food so do be careful. LIN, I missed your original post but just delighted you have settled the sale and are home safe, the amount of dollars not important, just that you have lifted all that pressure.
Got to run as being picked up at the end of the track and it's too long to be running along, especially in this muggy heat.
Back later.
Jackie

LIN, very happy for you, very very very! Terrible stressful time and now hopefully a thing of the past. I hope life is plain sailing for you from now on.
I had a lovely surprise yesterday, one of my sister in laws (they'll always be my sister in laws despite us having virtually no contact with their brother, my ex) sent me a lovely parcel of photos, some from way back, some from today's generation of their side of the family. I'm so glad to get these because my sons father took all his photos with him and the boys had nothing to relate to. Best of all, my mother in law who I was very fond of and died very soon after our break up, had written quite a lot about all she knew of her side of the family. It was a great read. So.....when I go shopping on Friday I'll pick up an album to put it all in, and then my boys who know all MY family history, will more fully learn about their complete roots. Sorry if that bored you all, but I was so pleased to get this peek into the past. I really thought the world about my MIL and my SILs too, and I'm still, after all these years, wondering what on earth happened so soon after emigration. "Nowt so queer as folk" as we say in Yorkshire! Like LINS recent trauma, it passed.
I hope you enjoy the bean burgers too JACKIE. They were certainly easy to make and designed for the kiddies to help, so right up my street. Not much in the way of culinary skills - old Anne.
PATSY, Canada Day and the dreaded fireworks, AND the setting the roof on fire worries!
Well, aren't I an old witterer, enjoy the day everybody, Anne.

HAPPY CANADA DAY !!
Happy 4th of July to all my American Sneaker Friends !!
LIN - So glad you have that stress off your back. Now to some me time for you.
I hope the next few
weeks of getting rid of the rest will be easier for you.
Morning,
I took in Yoga restorative class last night. Gentle postures but holding them longer like 10 min or so. I felt great after
that. I have been stressed lately due to being gone so much. I have to pack again today for a week on our sailboat.
I like going away don't get me wrong, but I also like some down time at home and putter around here. I have not had
that opportunity since my husband retired. He is a go go all the time.
I will be packing today and then do some other things. We will be leaving tomorrow morning. It rained here again last
night and it is so soggy around the house. I hope we have decent weather while away. We have our club cruise
over the long weekend then we are on our own after that. I will have my tablet to report in
everyday on the Newsfeed.
I may catch some fireworks tonight depending how the day goes.

July 1, 1867
Canada Day in Canada. On July 1, 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain and a federation of four provinces: Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; Ontario; and Quebec. The anniversary of this date was called Dominion Day until 1982.
Enjoy your holiday all my Canadian friends!!
Happy Wednesday!!
Cooler day today which is fine with me. I am going to go get a mani/pedi and run some errands. Robby's 1st birthday is coming up and would like to get him an outfit for his party. Bryanna came over yesterday and we had a nice talk so all is good with the world. My shoulder feels better now that the cortisone shot has settled down. I booked my flight for Portland in February and it was too early for seating. This week I tried to get my seats online and all were filled. After calling United waiting 10 minutes, then cut off, called back and waited another 10 minutes I finally got a service representative and explained I was a senior with two knee replacements and needed an aisle seat. She did it with no problem so I was a happy person. I had visions of being stuck in the middle for four hours.
Shirley, enjoy your holiday and I hope you have nothing but dry sunny weather while you are sailing.
Anne, wonderful surprise and great for your boys. I have remained friends with my ex husband and his family, mostly for the sake of my children. My ex and I are friends, we just can't live together.
Jackie, good luck at the auction, hope you find the exact bookcase you need.
Phoebe, are you back at work now? I had no swelling of foot or ankle with my sciatic nerve, glad you are going to go to the doctor.
Lin,
So happy you finally closed on the acreage and can concentrate on Lin. It has been a long process but now you can enjoy what is left of summer.
Patsy, so sorry to hear you are under the weather. I hope today is a better day but if not maybe a doctors visit is in order. I have never sold anything on Ebay only bought. My daughter uses Craig's list to buy and sell things.
Marie, since you are not eating meat anymore I presume you don't eat the processed meats either, correct?
I do hope you will get that pain in your neck checked out soon, better safe than sorry.
Buzz, glad you got things working with your computer again but I am not convinced that your credit card fraud are not related. I would certainly change all the passwords for my important information to be safe.
Just my opinion dear friend.
Enjoy this day like no other, who knows what tomorrow brings?

Packing all done and food will go into the cooler in the morning. Getting up early Dave wants to get an early start and
we will have our friends Paul and Nan sailing with us. You never know after engine got fixed. This is a 5 hour sail.
Better safe than sorry.
We will be going to see the fireworks after all. Yay!
Lin - That graphic is so cute!
Oh, here is another picture of Isaac.

Shirley! Well my dear you are a "goner." That little boy has stolen your heart ...never to return it! What a charmer!
Sandy: you have the same issue...a charmer grandson! These are such adorable little boys.
I went to the wound care nurse about my foot. She thinks i am healed but still watching to make sure the wound doesn't open back,up. Back to exercising and trying like crazy to pare down the food intake. Too much company. Too much temptation. Too little exercise. There is nothing like sitting around with an old friend, snacks and wine. Talking about art and artists we've known. Books we love and movies we hated. Pretty soon the wine is gone, snacks are all eaten and the friend is on her way back home. I've gained 3 or 4 pounds! Like they say...the best of times and the worst of times.
Happy 4th, happy Canada Day, happy summer fun.

Hello All,
My day started out great. Ed and I went to the casino to celebrate my Mom's birthday. We went to the casino we would usually take her and had lots of fun. I managed a small win and we had the buffet lunch. I came home with a great smile on my face.
Our girls hosted an anniversary party for us on Sunday and we've been getting great pictures of the event.
I was helping Ed organize his computers/photos as he was getting very frustrated with it all when I got a call from my poor sister. You may remember she's had a very bad 2 years - my Mom's death, cancer, pending divorce, lots of health issues, etc., etc. Now a call from her doctor as she was experiencing a swollen breast - blood tests reveal tumour markers. How scary and no damn husband to hold her and comfort her. I am so upset and she is even more so. I am so scared. She hopes to have a CT scan tomorrow and hopefully she'll get the results asap.
Send good thoughts our way, please.
Jeri

O Jeri So sorry to hear that about your sistet.
On the happier side really love your and Ed pictures Happy 40th Anniversity/ We have such nice couples in our group Your grandkids are very Happy. always Smiling like the grandma.
my prayer goes all out for your sister and to you. you have all of my blessing. Marie 0 -
Happy Canada Day, eh!
We have been having so much smoke here that I haven't been out for my walk for a few days although we did drive to the mall and I did some walking there. It does seem to decrease the pain so I will keep at it.
Phoebe -- be careful with that leg. You might need to get it checked out to be sure there isn't a blood clot there causing pain and swelling. Are you two still driving?
Shirley -- your baby is adorable (I know you already know that!).
Sandy -- I bet your little Robbie is growing and cute as ever. Are you still doing childcare?
Jeri -- so sad to hear your sister is not doing well. It is scary to go through as you know. I will keep you both in my thoughts.
Buzz -- hope you are well. We think of you and Mike often. We so appreciated the time we had together in Florida.
Lin -- I hope one day your life will slow to a dull roar and you can relax for a bit!
Marie -- I hope this new diet is great. Some of us just need to keep changing diets to keep it feeling fresh. Other folks will stay with one forever. Both ways can work well.
I know I have missed people but will try to do better next time. Take care and keep smiling. Gayla0
