Howdy all y'all. It's stupendous Saturday! 5/15 with an expected high of 42/58 and 0% chance of precipitation.

I just might manage that lazy weekend I've been craving! Why do I suspect something will come up?

Hello Ed
Why ? Simple, The best made plans are often disrupted when something comes up.

The weather forecast is saying that there is a chance of flakes for Monday, If I was and I am not a betting man I would bet that there are none tomorrow.

Something I saw on the Cable News Channel this morning.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Today is supposed to be quite nice. The prediction anticipates a cooling trend over the next few days but not (yet?) back to full blown winter.

Hi Ed
I guess I could call yesterday's weather forecast accurate where they said a few flakes could fall today and sure enough I saw a few stray flakes while walking.

I see I got my original Sunday post, with videos, up before Roger's final morning post for Sunday.

Now I am wondering, is it even better luck to eat a shillelagh on St. Patrick's day or will the leprechauns curse me to a life of bad luck and poverty?

Whatever the consequence, this shillelagh carrot is now in my largest Crock Pot, under the corned beef. Of course you can't see the carrot now and it may be difficult to see the corned beef, but the carrot is in there, along with a few friends, and some potatoes and onions! I'll cook some cabbage shortly before it's all done.

What can I say, "Pobody's Nerfect" comes to mind, I thought I was early too.
I am somewhat surprised by that Carrots shape, It was my impression that things like that got weeded out before being sold fresh and the less than perfect ones were used in prepared foods ?

Potatoes

We had Boiled Corned Beef, Cabbage and small potatoes boiled in the same liquid yesterday and that was pretty much the holiday meal.

Today's meat is the second Corned Beef that my brother picked up with the second weeks coupon and baked. I will likley have the CostCo Normandy Mix with it. For Lunch and Dinner.

And I saved a bit of the raw cabbage for the stir fry I made for J.

That Stir Fry looks like it has amongst its ingredients carrots, cabbage, Onions, peppers and Tofu. Am I even close ?

Have a Good Day

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 4/39 with an expected high of 15/58 and 0% chance of precipitation. Sounds like a pretty nice day. Not much on the agenda, but I might ponder some laundry.

Breakfast was leftovers from last night's dinner and lunch probably will be as well.

You covered all of it except the minced garlic, which would be difficult to spot in the picture! J said it was really good. Since he's having it again for lunch today, I'm glad he liked it. We shared two of the dinner ingredients. Carrots and cabbage.

Hello Ed
I had been pondering doing a load of Laundry also until my brother mentioned he was thinking of doing a load Today and I asked him to let me know if his load had enough room for my reflective safety vest which some nameless dummy spilled coffee on when said person was walking and if there was still room the hoodie could use a wash too.

I'll be darned I may be getting better at identifying ingredients
I sure did miss the Garlic, oh well.

Nothing wrong with saving time with leftovers. Yesterday my brother baked some discounted Sausage from his Sunday trip to the market so I stuck in a baking pan with the bacon I had in the fridge. Or to put it another way, why run the oven twice when You can get double duty out of one bake. So now I have precooked bacon I can use to spiff up the NS Chicken sandwich and the NS Hamburger and to add a little to the NS Pizzas. I was afraid that the nice Bacon sandwich I made with some of it along with Slice of 40 calorie bread that I used to soak up the drippings would impact my weight, Evidently the alterations I made to my days foods compensated for that.

Binging with Babish Taste-Tests Regional Burger Styles | The Burger Show

It states that Motz teaches them how to make the Jucy Lucy, the Cuban Frita, and the Lacey-Edge. Since I never heard of any of those, hmm...
Call my taste buds simple but I like a straight Burger with Ketchup and Mayo, or with cheese added or Bacon added. Depending on mood a little Fresh Onion or more Sauteed Onion and even tastier Crispy onions such as onion rings. Toss is some Tomato and or Lettuce depending on mood. Thus I do like the Baconator from Wendy's I am not a big fan of Pickles and if I buy a burger that has them I tend to pull the pickle slices and eat them separately.

How to Make the Absolute Best Ground Beef Chili

I would likely not mind eating that, OTOH I would not use 6 dried ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded, and torn into 1-inch pieces as the recipe shows. My brother OTOH might leave them in and for sure would remove any beans as to him the only real chili has no beans.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 47 degrees. When I left the house all was dry, given the early rain in the forecast I modified my walking path so that I was more or less close to the house. At the furthest point I felt my first drop of rain and by the time I was home everything was wet and the rain had temporarily stopped. There is heavy rain in the forecast for later today

Hi Guys! Just poking my head in to check in with you!
Not overly warm here.....bought a fleece jacket! It is sunny yesterday and today...forecast is for sun until we head home on Saturday.
Will try to catch up with the video's and articles later...did see some of the cartoons, so I started my day laughing!
Thanks...I appreciate that!
Always interesting being here with my brother and SIS, and of course, Ted! They are trying to find something fun to do later today.
Food has been really good...we've found good restaurants that we can all eat at and enjoy!

Later...

Hello Valerie
I had forgotten You were on Vacation
Did You ever mention what happened for ST. Patty's Day meals ? If so I am forgetting it.

I like a good laugh and as my brother says any time You can make someone laugh it is a good day.

I would have thought that finding restaurants that did both types of foods well would be tough.

Enjoy the Sun

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Looks like another pretty nice day, though with a small chance of precipitation.

I need to get some laundry folded and put away.

Good Morning from wet and windy NJ. The wind that was blowing while I was walking appears to have increased, I say that since I just heard the Garbage can in the neighbors driveway blowing around.

I was able to have my brother wash my most needed laundry, I may do a load Sunday, maybe not, I tend to do the laundry based on impulse. My reflective safety vest needed washing as some unknown person had managed to spill coffee on it It was much brighter afterwards, I can only guess that it had become dingy slow enough that I had not noticed it.

3 INCREDIBLE VEGAN BURGER RECIPES

the three recipes are "sweet potato & piri peri burger, bbq black bean burger & Dwight's beet burger" The fact that Piri piri is a cultivar of Capsicum frutescens, a chili pepper that grows both wild and as a crop excludes that recipe for me. The Others are a possibility.

Carla Makes Butter-Basted Steak

I have known that Butter helps for quite a while, OTOH I always added after cooking rather than as she says "Browned, nutty butter will deliver toasty flavor to every bite." And before I forget any steak I cook would have a lot less red in it. As a side note I prefer my burgers cooked as I do not care for the taste or texture when they are red on the inside.

I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 45 degrees. The Rain yesterday was off and on, more on than off. This morning it was wet outside and as I was walking a fine mist started blowing on the breeze, That mist slowly became heavier as I walked and the breeze caused a bit of a wind chill
