    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! -3C/27F with an expected high of 7C/44F and 0% chance of precipitation. No desperate need to get out, but I may go anyway. I bought a small corned beef brisket at Aldi yesterday to cook for the 17th. I'll look into getting cabbage or Brussels sprouts soon. I may go with frozen sprouts, though at the moment a nice wedge of cabbage, cooked in the pot with the corned beef sounds really good!

    I've given Lilo her Tuesday shot and subsequent treats, and she is now happily snuggled in J's lap.

    Hi

    Hello Ed
    We will be picking up the corned beef next week since based on previous experiences it will still be on sale. However as a small twist we still have one or two in the freezer so the new one will be frozen and the already frozen one defrosted. We might even pick up two and turn one into Pastrami before Vacuum Sealing it and freezing it.

    Cabbage of course to go with Corned Beef :wink:

    Good Morning!
    Roger, I was surprised that you could get out for your walk this morning! Good for you.
    Its cold, for us, this morning. Sunny! Wicked wind. Even the Tom E Cat goes out for about 5 minutes, to do his business I assume, as the cat boxes are still clean...but he wants right in again...can't blame him.
    I gassed the car yesterday..thought about putting if off til today...now seeing today. Glad I did that chore yesterday.
    So far today...1st load of laundry, folded and already put away. 2nd load in the dryer, and 3rd load in the washer.
    I have high hopes for a perfect laundry run! That would be great...not sure I'll succeed though. Long range plans seem to fall by the wayside in this household!
    I do need to also run stick Dyson around. Tom E. is shedding. Must have thought spring had already arrived. Sorry Tom E. gonna be a few more days of cold and also rain. (I, however am as hopeful as the cat!)
    Ed, I vote for cabbage and do make a loaf of Irish Cross Bread. I love that stuff. Strikes me as being a super huge biscuit! Whatever, is good!
    Ok, Tom E the demanding wants ?????. Guess I should go find out. :)
    Later...
    Hello Valerie
    I looked out the window before retiring for the night and given what I could see I was sure I would be able to walk and sure enough. There was supposed to be a bitter wind chill today, I got lucky and was out and back before the wind moved in.

    Gas in the car _ CostCo ?

    Tom E Cat might be feeling the cold more than usual with the shedding, a real nuisance in the house too.

    Cabbage traditional for sure although I guess Brussels Sprouts could be a tasty alternative. Soda Bread or Scones, Hmm...
    To me the Soda bread is more like a huge scone in texture if not taste and always needs Raisins :wink:

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 18 degrees. The Weather is forecast to be above freezing starting Friday for a few days with Rain in the future forecast and the possibility of flurries today and more for tomorrow.

    Hello Ed
    It is somewhat bitter outside this morning, Even with the heated Mittens My fingers were starting to get cold by the end of my walking.

    You seem to have blood drawn more often than I, The last time was earlier in the past year.

    OTOH I am a bit overdue for a Wellness checkup at the doctors :wink:

    FWIW It seems that according to the News Broadcasts there were 6 churches offering Drive up Ashes on the forehead for people that did not have the time to come for a Church Service.

    News 12 is the local cable only news channel here in NJ. Do they have such a thing in Ga. ?

    Hi...
    good visit with the ortho doc. He's pleased with the x-rays/healing. Said to come back in a month. Meanwhile I can go to the gym...just no Treadmill. Guess I'm back to the recumbent bike, and the recumbent elliptical thingy.
    That's ok...will be good to be around the gym family again.
    I'm going for a nap...will get back later to watch video's and read articles.
    Glad Roger could go out....(also glad I don't live in NJ or any of the N.E. states this winter!)
    Ed. hope the vampire left you enough blood to get home on! OH...you like hot spicy stuff. I got the Chili Lime Cashews. Hot stuff! I'll take their word on the lime being there...couldn't taste it cuz of the spice..

    Soon to snooze....
    Hello Valerie
    Good news indeed.

    Unusually cold weather like this where we are well below normal temperatures make me long for warmer climes or weather :(

    Every-time I end up trying a new dish that turns out to be spicy Once the heat hits my taste buds that is all I really taste. You are not alone that way.
    Ok, The chili lime cashews...from Trader Joes...Obviously I was more tired than even I knew!!

    dpt4474fxxvo.jpg
    I've done this in Massachusetts , only you can be sure I had on more clothes and coats!!! LOL. Diapers would freeze before I could get the second clothes pin on them. BUT...sure did have white, white, white baby clothes and diapers. Don't know why...but freezing cold and all that snow bleached anything!

    Yeah, gasoline at my Costco...:) Great prices. And close by. Win-Win!!

    I'd opt for cabbage too. I'm trying to decide what to have for St. Paddy's day just like Ed....I've looked at oven baked 'cabbage steaks' with mustard sauce...and I've got recipe's for boxty..(potato pancakes, thick pancakes) or there is the old standby...cabbage with mashed potatoes...etc...such problems....LOL!!

    That air fryer/oven is sure tempting. I think when my toaster oven croaks I may think about it more seriously. :)
    I'll have to do a lot of thinking though.

    Ok, I'm going to eat my dinner. I hope you both have a good evening!

    Later...
    I would not be out doing that in the snow, However My brother has hung clothes out in the winter and he likes the way they come out also. I am also sure they take a lot longer to dry. Their drying is the same process that is slowly reducing the last snowfalls depth.

    Our Menu is taking shape, using the Coupon we have a Corned Beef at $1.88 a pound. Next week is decision time for the rest of the menu, Brussels Sprouts or Cabbage, A little different taste, OTOH the sprouts would be easier to eat and likely a little less messy to eat also. I am thinking Maybe Oven Baked Asparagus rather than Mashed or Baked Potatoes however I suspect my Brother will want some form of Potato.

    I would look at the cleanability of both of those before deciding :wink:

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! -2/29 with an expected high of 14/57 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Need to get soft drinks, coffee and coffee supplies down to the botanic gardens as they'll be setting up for this weekend's orchid show. Our usual kitchen space is being demolished or remodeled so we don't yet know just how we are going to manage the food things this year.

    Hi Ed
    When I was walking today I noticed that most of the roads had been brined, Does our town know something that was not showing in yesterdays forecast or are they being over cautious.

    That does not sound like good news, I sort of hate having to wing things when the usual plans can not be used. Good Luck this weekend.

    Hi.
    Just finishing my dinner. Busy day!
    Went to the gym! All good! I used the recumbent elliptical thingy. (It needs a name) Spent 15 minutes. Didn't want to 'over do'. Its been 6 weeks since I stepped foot in the gym.... Tomorrow the bike!
    Then home, lunch, and a nice nap.
    Followed by some outdoor time trimming back the roses, and picking up tree litter....i.e branches and twigs in the yard.
    Need to attend to the kitchen, and spend some 'nice' time with Tom E.
    Hi Valerie
    Just be careful not to overdo it, I eased into walking by going a little further every day. I wish I could have done that with the snow fall and our shoveling, I was a bit sore later that day and into the next day.

    I do need to trim the Blackberry and Raspberry bushes, However I shall await warmer weather to do that. I have been tossing broken smaller branches off of the sidewalks I walk on with my walking stick. That is easier than bending down and putting the stick somewhere with the Coffee Cup and doing them by hand. I think of clearing the sidewalk like that as a good thing for me and for other :wink:
    Surprisingly Roger, winter hung clothes, on a sunny day dry amazingly quick. I think it has more to do with very low humidity/dew point. (my guess you understand doesn't really matter...just those clothes dried faster than in the summer)

    I'm not sure what, if anything I'll cook for St. Paddy's day. I'll be at the beach. Last year Marietta and I walked to a nearby restaurant and had Irish Dinners. Complete with Irish soda bread. :) So, if everybody is agreeable we may just do that again this year. There will only be 4 of us, so its not like we'll need a big table, etc.

    Ok,...off to the kitchen.......

    Later...

    Oh, I saw the weather forecast for NJ...sure you don't want to move south???? :)
    You could be correct, OTOH why is our snow going away so slow, Just due to volume of it or ?

    Does where You are staying have a kitchen that You could cook in ? I shall be honest if I were on vacation I would use the vacation option and Go out to eat and avoid all the work cooking and cleaning up.

    Move south, Home of the Tornadoes and Hurricanes washing things away at the beach areas and large bugs ? Did I mention I hate bugs ? :smiley: Toss in the Crocodiles and I think I'll pass :wink:

    Have a Nice Day

    That looks High Calorie and high carb just from the Pizza Dough. Likely You could save some time by Buying ready to use Pizza Dough at the Grocery Store. Which would likley make figuring out Nutrition information easier.
    I am NOT doing a keto diet. But I do find some of the recipes interesting, and one of my sisters in law is (sort of) doing it.
    I could be and often am wrong that Keto food would also be Diabetic friendly food

    Have a Good Day

    Well, another dinner time post...
    This is getting to be a 'bad' habit. Will do better tomorrow...no gym. :) It was fun morning at the gym. Lots of old friends and hugs, and jokes, and laughing. I also did bike for 20 minutes. I am easing back into this Roger, promise. I don't need any more sore anything.....

    Today's email brought a request for me to take a short survey from Honda...only about 25 minutes. WHAT??? I would hardly call 25 minute survey SHORT!!! I may or may not do it. I know if I don't do it they will pester me to death...not exactly a win/win spot to be in.

    Nosy question...are you both doing a Keto diet? or more to the point, why???? Just curious.

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    Bad Habit, who doesn't have those :wink:

    Nothing like seeing old friends.

    I agree 25 minutes is a bit long. Was Your email address required when You bought or was it only suggested so they could send you a email notice of any recalls ?

    I am not doing Keto, I am trying to reduce carbs for Blood Sugar purposes if that helps.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. Now it's REALLY satisfying Saturday! Apparently I was trying to speed up the weekend!

    The show started yesterday, and yesterday was the worst for me, work-wise. I was out of the house at 6:30 in the morning, helped with the breakfast for the judges (and volunteers) and then the lunch. We did, at the last minute, get permission to use a small kitchen space in a nearby building, for sink, refrigerator, and a microwave oven, and they opened up some classroom/multipurpose rooms for the judging and hospitality. We have them for the weekend.

    I got home for a nap yesterday, and then back even further downtown to a dinner party for the volunteers.

    Today I will eventually get down there to set out what snacks there are, make a pot of coffee, and help with the lunch for the vendors.

    I haven't promised to be there for anything tomorrow, but I think J has agreed to give a demonstration on mounting orchids to wood, so I might go in with him. Or I might not!

    Hi
    I'm home and did not go walking and thus no money was found. The reason is a combination of the rain and the Clock change to Daylight savings time leaving me tired. I suspect a nap this afternoon :wink: The Temperature out the door was 35 degrees. The was in the forecast for overnight into Sunday has arrived. The Total amount forecast for where I am is 0.9 inches.

    Hi Ed
    That must be a huge help having a kitchen space to use even if it is small. It does sound as if You had a busy day.

    When You say mounting orchids to wood I am guessing that You mean as a growing medium or for support or both ?

    FWIW I can hear bursts of heavy rain and I can see that it is windy outside too, The birdfeeder is swinging.

    Good (the real) Saturday Morning...notice I said MORNING!!! LOL! Finally!!
    Ed you surely had me confused...not fair, I hadn't finished my coffee yet!! :)
    Ummm To Do List?? Wash Tom E.s laundry...yes, he has laundry too. Maybe wash a load of dark clothes for me? um..
    Some kitchen work. Some things need to be put away, and then there's the floor, and cabinets and appliances could use a wipe down, etc. Much to do...not sure how much of much will be done!!
    Hi Valerie
    It does not take much to confuse me :blush:

    Cat Laundry, whatever he lays on for naps ?

    I may have asked this before, I know that somewhere on MFP someone mentioned Shampoo to clean shower glass. I tried and I must be doing something wrong.
    After watching the bazillion video's, and readings, etc I think I can safely say that Keto is not healthy for diabetics. It could lower weight, it may even give some better BS readings.....all at the expense of your heart, arteries, and kidneys. From what I can see, Keto is just Adkins renamed and in a fancier dress.

    It's really damp outside. My weather app said foggy. I don't see fog, but misty, yeah...I need to go look out some doors to see if Tom E. would like to come in, and I may as well start my day chores. No gym today. And as I typed that Mr Tom E. came to the window and sat down...so I rapped on the window, and he must have been day dreaming, as he really jumped!!! Poor ole guy.

    So, with that I will say

    Later...
    You are Correct, Although I though that the spelling was Atkins ?

    I find that the Keto recipes being posted by Ed are interesting and add variety to a Non keto diet while not spiking blood Sugar. Am I mistaken when I presume that You mean those drawbacks apply to a a 100% Keto diet ?

    I would take Foggy or Misty over the weather we are having. I will admit that Monday to Friday the forecast looks good.

    Poor cat, You likely scared one of his 9 lives out of him :wink:

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 10/50 with an expected high of 21/69 and 50% chance of precipitation.

    Last day of the orchid show and I am not required or volunteered for anything today, though J is so I might go in with him, but his presentation's scheduled time conflicts with the time during which I'd like to nap.

    Many orchids grow naturally on trees or even rocks. Growers often try to duplicate the natural growing environment as closely as possible. Here is a short video showing how one man does that.
