I would be upset if someone brought anything other than a bottle of wine, or chocolates. I would maybe offer to contribute food for a party, or if they asked me to bring dessert, or cheese. In France though it is perfectly acceptable to bring a sweet tart, even one from a patisserie. Almost expected.
I read years ago in a magazine that you should never bring flowers to a hostess because she has to stop everything to look after them. Our friends brought beautiful yellow roses to our Burns Night and it was a real pain. I dumped them in the sink! They are just at the end of their life now, but have been gorgeous for two weeks.
In Britain the customary gift is wine, but you don't necessarily expect it to be drunk that meal because the host will have planned food and wine. Prosecco or champagne for aperitif is always welcome and, if it is chilled, it is often opened straight away, but you mustn't be offended if it isn't.
I'm interested in the protocol in different countries. In India you take those very sweet, sweetmeats.
What do you all take if it isn't a potluck?

Got me to thinking what has happened when I've gone to someone's place for dinner ...
Then I was trying to remember when I've gone to someone's place for dinner ...
OK, the most recent time was several months ago when a friend from work invited us over so that I could learn to make perogies with his wife. He and I had been talking about that for ... oh, maybe 2 years ... and finally one day it was time.
I didn't bring anything, just dropped in after going for a bicycle ride. Then his wife and I made perogies and we ate them.
If we return the favour with my work friend and his wife, we'll likely invite them round for a BBQ and wouldn't expect them to bring anything.
The time before that was ... hmmm ... I can't remember.
I'm guessing it might have been to a friend of my husband's for a party a few years ago. Party invites here suggest that everyone should "bring a plate" and so I think we brought a couple party platters from the local grocery store.
Dinner parties are not a "thing" here.
Most of the time, when we get together with other people, we go to restaurants. Restaurants are just so much easier ... each person can order what they want, and it's easier to wrap things up and go home if things start to get awkward.
Oh, and since we don't drink alcohol, we don't bring it. We have brought soft drinks to parties, but never alcohol. I think if I were going to bring something, if that were expected, I'd bring a box of chocolate.

Katla you are right, Siri’ “in 500 yards turn right!” was helpful one dark and stormy night when I couldn’t see the street signs. Perhaps I should reconsider and unmute her.

SuziQ is gleaning peppers as back-breaking as it sounds?
Rori Omigosh! Seated on floor, touched your nose to knees and grabbed your feet? WOW!
Heather, Terri, Viv and all in Storm Ciara’s path, hunker down and be safe!
Michele you remembered MIL had some blankets, was your FL condo your MIL's?
Heather wine is always a welcome hostess gift. If the lunch is informal, I ask what can I bring? IF the hostess says nothing, I suggest Cookies? Cheese? Crudites? Giving her a second chance. If answer is stll “no” then I bring nothing but an appetite. Now having read Karen in VA’s response, I’ll skip the second question and just bring a food or wine gift. Home made sweet and spicy pecans might be my go-to. Paleo and keto friendly, gluten free.
Another note on girlfriends, it came to me yesterday that Mama lost her two dearest friends at too young ages to disease. She must have been so lonely. Wish I had been a better friend to her.
Lighter, lovelies!

Good morning, ladies.
Heather: It was raining when I woke up at 7.45am, but the clouds have just cleared away. The wind is still gusting, and we have a severe warning in place. It should be with you in a couple of hours.
😂 Not sure if it's the eye of the storm or the end of it. 😂
When invited for a meal, I normally ask if I can bring something. I take a bottle of wine if there is no specific request, or some small gift for the hostess.
💁🏼 We have our usual afternoon visit with DED and grandsons after lunch. I am doing a few chores this morning, and will fit in a short HIIT workout.
🌹 Welcome to the rest of your life! Make it a good one! 🌹

Morning, afternoon and evening, all,
I have been kind of MIA, sorry. Was curious as to whether I could write an article every morning and work all day, as well, and get on the elliptical each morning. Only missed one day on the elliptical, and completed everything else. Starting to get in a writing groove again, which makes me happy, but don't want to lose the progress I've made with my health. For me, IF has worked to stop the weight gain, and is slowly helping me in losing as of this week, with one pound down. I'm on 16-8, or 17-7, and don't eat after 4 p.m. Surprisingly easy so far.
Just heard from my daughter that she and her youngest two will head down to see us at spring break, because the oldest will be withthe crapweasel sperm donor known as my daughter's first husband,and her hubby will be on the East Coast at a school. The in-laws in Missouri will keep the dogs (they already have a bunch) while she comes to see us, which makes my husband happy.
Regarding automated assistants, I don't have Siri as I don't do iPhones. No Alexa or anything like it, in the house, either. Just haven't wanted my technology to speak to me so far.
On the thought of best friends, what always occurs to me is that society effectively demands that our husbands are now our best friends. Well, mine's not. He's my husband. My best friend is a tall, blonde lady in Montana, and has been since long before I met my current and final husband. Not to get all weird about it, but honestly, doesn't anyone find it a little odd to tell people that the person they have sex with is their best friend? Maybe it's just me.
My husband always jokingly tells me that I'm HIS best friend, and I just tell him he needs to get out more.
Which brings me to the "what do you bring to a dinner party" question, and the answer is, nothing, not even ourselves, as we just don't go to other people's houses, nor, other than family, do we invite them to hours. We're not even slightly social, I guess, but quite happy that way.
Off to the races, kids,
Love y'all,

Karen - Yes, you reminded me it is also acceptable to take a home made pot of jam or chutney. My cupboards are groaning with marmalade someone else has made because we rarely eat it, although we do like it. I hate chutney because of the vinegar/sugar thing. I have a jar of banana chutney sitting on the side from Burns night. Can't think who to dump it on.
Homegrown fruit is a good present, as you suggested, preferably in a container so you haven't got to run round trying to find one.
Barbara- Homemade pecans sounds brilliant. You are welcome to visit.
I am always delighted to receive wine, especially champagne. Or lovely dark, cocoa dusted truffles, just in case any of you were thinking of dropping in! :laugh:
Fences bending and stretching. The palm tree outside our bedroom window looks like the footage from a Caribbean hurricane.
Not going out. Going to make an emergency something or other with Polish sausage and snow peas. Risotto?

I'm with you. I study IT related subjects. I work in an IT related area. I don't want too much IT related stuff in my personal life. I have some, of course, but I just can't imagine wanting Alexa. And part of that probably has to do with what I've heard and read about security.On the thought of best friends, what always occurs to me is that society effectively demands that our husbands are now our best friends.

Here, I'm not with you ... my husband and I are each other's best friends by a long shot. Probably my closest second best friend would be my mother.
My husband and I met through a common activity (long distance cycling) and were friends first. Even through everything we've been through over the past 2 years, we were and are devoted friends first. I'm not sure we, as a couple, could have made it if we weren't.
I mentioned the cycling, and that's still a common activity, but over the years we've also discovered a mutual love of travel, especially active travel - hiking, cycling, etc., going to the symphony and plays, and going to things like the Speedway!Which brings me to the "what do you bring to a dinner party" question, and the answer is, nothing, not even ourselves, as we just don't go to other people's houses, nor, other than family, do we invite them to hours. We're not even slightly social, I guess, but quite happy that way.
Back to being with you again! Getting together with others socially is a very rare thing for us and if we do, as I mentioned, we prefer to meet people at a restaurant ... neutral turf.
Although with this one couple, my work friend and his wife, we might try a BBQ. We've got a really nice BBQ patio so that might be OK. And they aren't likely to stay long.

Barbara I am sad for your Mama having lost her friends too young. I thought about your comment about wishing you had been a better friend to her, and I realized that even though I adored my mother & we talked almost every week, I, too, wish I had been a better friend to her. There were so many opportunities to be thoughtful, to surprise her with a gift or a mid-week call, to suggest a trip together…yes, I wish I had done those things. She did have lots of friends, many of whom outlived her, so it isn't the same point you are making at all. Just me reflecting on things. I'm going to try to apply that insight to my relationship with my partner. I'm guessing my impatience with her slow healing process is not invisible to her. As of this moment, I am putting on a more philosophical, cheerful hat to see if I can make us both feel more at ease.
Time to get a move on.
Working today.
Friends in UK: Don't blow away!

Greetings one and all.
I am still catching up with commentary and am starting with the most recent first.
Heather – I am in awe of you and how you are taking full advantage of your non-working years. I hope to be as active as you once I permanently say good bye to the corporate world. When invited to someone’s home for a meal I typically ask if they want me to bring something. If the answer is no I will bring a bottle of wine, if appropriate, if not a small hostess gift. Note – I always try and bring something I know the household enjoys. If invited to your house I would probably bring “stinky” cheese or some perfect fruit. Love the picture of Edie. She was certainly thinking outside of the box! I love the floors at the Wolseley.
Machka – Charlie was my best friend too. We did not start out that way as we had an instant attraction to each other. It made for some difficult work, especially in the beginning of our relationship.
Lisa – Charlie and I were introverts/extroverts. We would push ourselves to be more social because we did not want to become hermits. Looking back I wish we socialized more as I am a bit isolated. I am finding it is quite difficult to meet and become close friends with people at my age. I am slowly but surely getting there. It’s certainly not like my 20s.
Barbara SOR – Picking peppers is certainly a workout. The first time out this year was an eye-opener. Yesterday was my second and the body is certainly getting used to it. My friend took this picture – as you can see I am really much taller than the plants! I am learning to crab walk versus bending when picking. Each 5-gallon bucket weighs 15 pounds. I was filling two at time and hiking them to the big bins. Michele – I love St. Augustine. Enjoy the time with your cousin.
Annie – I cannot wait to see some pictures of you and the dude ranch.
Tracey – It sounds like you had a wonderful time with the grands.
Ginny – Hope the fundraiser was a success. It seems like we are both supporting our local food banks.
Amber – The flowers are beautiful. I am happy you have found a partner who appreciates and loves you.
Viv – Hope the flooring is finally done. Would love to see some pictures.
KJ – Joaquin and Miguel appear to be developing a tight bond. The smiles they have for each other melt my heart.
It’s time to get back to meal prep. I will be finishing off the chicken soup from the stock made yesterday. Will also be making some breakfast smoothies for the start of the work week. May have one for breakfast this morning since I have so much fresh produce in the house. Costco had the plant-based protein powder I use ($8 off) this month so I took advantage of the sale.
I will be posting my stats separately. It has been some time since I have posted them.
Hugs to all and prayers for those in need.

Recent stats.
Since my starting date of August 24, 2019 I have lost a total of 18.5 inches! I measure my neck, waist, hips, thighs, chest and arms.
The weight continues to drop albeit slowly. I am hovering around my maintenance goal so it's to be expected. The chart below shows we can still lose weight as we did in our younger years. Is my body the same? No, but I am a learning to embrace every sag and battle scar. Am I fortunate not to have any major heath issues? Yes, I am and I am thankful every day. WW = Weight Watchers. This time around I found MFP and am very happy to have found this community and app.
Notice my 55-year old self has actually lost more than my younger selves.
I hope everyone has had or will be having a wonderful Sunday. We can do this!

SuziQ - My husband and I are both introverts, so for us it works to stay home. There are times when I itch to get out of the house, as I also work at home, but they're seldom. This really is my happy place, and alone for me was never lonely. I've pushed myself in the past to be social, such as when I was managing editor of a newspaper in a town of 8,000, and it was expected. It was a quietly miserable state for me, and exhausting.
Machka - I continue to find the differences across our group to be so fascinating, as well as the similarities.
Later, y'all,

My husband's and my relationship started a bit differently from what might be "the usual".
We "met" online on a cycling forum and chatted briefly. Actually I asked the question, "Is anyone going to the Paris-Brest-Paris 1200 km bicycle ride in 2003?" and he replied that he was. That was our first encounter. We exchanged a couple posts about the event ... first time for both of us etc. and that was that. That exchange happened in March 2003, I believe. I think we might have exchanged a few more posts in the following months but I don't remember. If we did, it would have been all very technical about the equipment to bring, etc.
The Paris-Brest-Paris is held every 4 years in August, starting from a town just outside Paris, France and cycling to Brest on the coast and back, a distance of just over 1200 km to be completed in 90 hours or less including all breaks. It would be my second 1200 km event like that (I've done 4).
So August 2003, I turned up in the small town just outside Paris with a group from my cycling club in Canada ... and off we all (about 5000 of us in total, from around the world) went.
At the very last control (where we got our cards signed to prove we'd been there, and some food), about 100 km from the finish line, I was walking through the dining hall with a plate of green beans and mashed potatoes looking for a place to sit and eat, and then hopefully a place to have a little nap, when I heard my online name called, "Machka!"
I thought ... that's odd. Who here knows that name, I turned ... and it was my husband-to-be! He identified himself. Now he had seen me and did a bit of a mathematical calculation. Of the 5000 riders, 6% were women. And of the 5000 riders, only about 50 were Canadian (I was wearing a Canadian jersey). So he figured the chances that I was "Machka" were reasonably high. Also, after 1100 km and probably only about 5 or 6 hours of sleep, if someone randomly called out a word, no one would take any notice. So he chanced it.
We chatted for a little while ... then I found a nice table outside to crawl under and went to sleep for about 15 minutes ... and kept cycling.
After everyone got home again, this guy from the forums and I kept talking on the forums. The next year, I came to Australia with a British friend and cycled here for 3 months, plus we did a 1200K here and the guy from the forums was there too. Then the British friend and I stayed with him in Tasmania for a few days. The British friend and I decided we weren't compatible, went our separate ways, and my new Australian friend started emailing, in addition to communicating on the forums.
And before we knew it ... a relationship had formed. That was in 2005. We had a long distance relationship up to our wedding in 2008 and for the first nine months of our married life while I finished a degree in Canada and he worked in Australia.
But we did get together now and then in various parts of the world (Canada, USA, Europe, Australia) to travel, cycle, camp, explore, etc.
So ... ours was mostly a friendship from 2003 when we met until 2009.
As for being isolated ... I feel a bit that way now because I can't talk to my best friend the way I used to be able to. But I can't really go out and find friends either.

Happy Sunday
Got a lot of errands accomplished yesterday. Now I have a pork shoulder slow roasting for dinner with a lot of leftovers planned for this week. Pretty sure it will be a more normal week. Followed by winter break from teaching!!
Rori impressive stretch! Hope you like the movie “Brittany runs a marathon”. Rachel and I enjoyed it over the holiday—nice little sleeper of a movie. Rachel gave us a gift card to cbs access so we could indulge in Star Trek-Picard. Watched 2 episodes all cuddled up on the couch and I didn’t fall asleep—yay me

Good morning all! Happy Sunday! I was a busy bee yesterday, did my weekly shop, a bit of cleaning, a bit of meal prep, and a bit of paperwork for my daycare. I will be doing the same today, but it shouldn't fill my day (not much left to do); so I am hoping to have some sunshine today to get out in. I will also have to do a bit of shoveling, as we got a good four inches of snow last night! Hurray! The kids will be so excited to play in it!
Favorite Cardio- I love to walk and hike! I love to run, but I need to build up to that, again. I also love swimming. I haven't been to the pool in quite a while (probably a year). They have reduced the open swim hours, so the only time I would be able to get in there and swim would be in the mornings; and I have a good thing going in the morning right now with my normal workout routine. I am afraid if I change it up at this time, I will mess up the "habit" that I have formed.
Hostess gifts- I usually will give a gift I have made. I have gifted home made jam or herbed butter with home made bread, spiced/sugared almonds, homemade pickles. BUT...if I know something in particular that the host/hostess enjoys that is local to my area (and host is not) I will bring that. Example: Brother and sister in law LOVE craft beer, so I got them a growler of their favorite beer from our local brewery. Another sister loves chocolate but has had to give up most chocolates because of the dairy/lactose in it. Our local chocolatier makes a variety of delicious dark chocolates infused with different flavors with no dairy added. The only time I give flowers, is if it is the form of a living plant or a precut arrangement. I love plants, but don't enjoy getting them as gifts because my house is where plants go to die.
Husband/Best Friend-Hmmmm...I think of my husband as, well, my husband and closest companion. Pretty sure I wouldn't put him in the "best friend" spot. He gets offended easily because he frequently takes things said out of context, he is moody, and, well, we see life differently. I have one best friend, but she lives thousands of miles away. SHE is the secret keeper, the one that knows where the bodies are buried, and understands where I have been and doesn't pass judgement.
SuziQ- Joaquin and Miguel adore each other. It is something that my daughter (and I) have hoped for, as for many weeks after Miguel was born, Joaquin completely ignored him. They go to the same daycare center where infants are in their own room (away from the toddlers and older kids), Joaquin will often go to the window of the infant room and look in at his brother. At the end of the day, as kids get picked up, they put all of the kids together in one room while they wait for parents to pick up. I guess both boys love that time of day and Joaquin stays by Miguel from that point on, making him laugh or they just sit together quietly with blankets waiting for mom.
Tracey - Sounds like you had a great time with the grandkids!
Amber- Your flowers are beautiful! So nice that hubby shows his appreciation and love to you!
Michele- Ooooh St. Augustine! Take lots of pics!
Heather- That Edie! lol Looks like she is practicing for shopping bag juggling as an adult. Or perhaps motherhood (how to get from point A to point B with kid in arms, laundry and various items to be put away, and get back to the kitchen to keep dinner from burning)!
I ran into a friend at the store yesterday, who works for our local paper. They are looking for a regular (twice a month) columnist. He asked me to apply for the job (I saw the post for the position on the Trib website). Although I am flattered that he would even suggest I apply; I don't think I have enough column worthy thoughts in my head to do the job. AND...I am not sure that it is something I want to add to my schedule. It is an unpaid position. So whoever takes the job, would be doing it for publicity sake and for their own joy. (Which is a nice thing; who doesn't need/want more joy?)
Anyway, on with the day. Time to strain my yoghurt, and get my butternut squash in the oven. I am making tomato soup and onion soup for this week; and baking butternut squash and freezing it for the Curried Butternut Squash and Pear soup that I will make next week. Full steam, ahead! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Here are my daycare kids! Pic taken on Friday, before we headed out for our walk. James (the one in the red,gray, and black snow suit) is 27 months old and this is only his third time as a "walker". He is doing really well and managed to walk a full two miles, on Friday! The oldest one is Lilah (all in pink), and she will be three at the end of April! Troopers all!

Good Sunday from sunny but cold Ohio!
Picked up the grands yesterday. We played Mille Bornes Feed the Kitty, Hiss, and Zingo. Mille Bornes is a card racing game. I use to play with my girls and have passed that on to my grands. The other games we have played since the oldest was 2 y/o. They still love them at almost 12 and almost 17! I love that! Papaw took us to dinner, then off to the Nutter Center so Grandson could sing with his group. We got to go in and watch, so I video taped for his parents. They were appreciative. Afterwards stopped at grocery for a few things. Grandson bought marshmallow oreos-yucky! He says they are great. Granddaughter got pickles in a bag. She is a strange one-hehe. I don't think she stopped eating until she went to bed. Not sure where she puts it. We were all in bed by 915.
Touching toes- We were doing stretches on floor yesterday. Granddaughter has never been able to touch her toes, even as a toddler. Now she is all kinds of flexible thanks to flag Corp. Me.....I tried!
Best friends- my husband is not my best friend. My best friend was non-judgemental, supportive in most things, my chill buddy, and secret keeper. We could talk for hours. My husband is the opposite. He is more like KJ's. I do enjoy doing things with him, but he doesn't like a lot of the same things. We share a love of cars and car shows. We vacation well together and he will walk then, but he won't hike. Most likely due to eye sight. I love the theaters both live and movies. I love dance and music. We work well together most of the time. Girlfriends or daughters pick up the slack. Need to take grandkids hiking come spring/summer if not busy with other things.
Dinner parties- Society is so different these days. I remember just stopping by friends' homes if I was near. Now it is expected to call ahead and make plans. Unless it is a party, we tend to meet friends at restaurants. If going to a party, ie super bowl or birthday, I usually take something. The sad part is we have a great back porch, covered, great views, but rarely have folks over. I invited friends over once for chicken on the grill, one friend stopped at Wendy's first, he doesn't do chicken. He could have brought his own burger and we would have cooked it. I tried to just be thankful that he came. It seems to me that people feel obligated to then invite you to their homes if they come to yours for a meal. Very strange to me.
Night driving- it has become more challenging in the last few years especially if raining or snowing.
Granddaughter still sleeping! The rest of us have been up since 6. I am heading in to make pancakes anyway. I am hungry.
You ladies all inspire me! I need to get a better routine. Changes this fall and winter as well as health have been challenging. You ladies let me know that at 57, I can still change my body. I probably won't become a runner (haven't since knee issue running cross country in high school) nor will I be a cyclist, but I can be more active and flexible!
TTFN,
Kylia enjoying the grands in Ohio5 -
So here's my question ... coming from the perspective of marrying my best friend ... why would you marry a guy with the intention of living with him for years to come if he wasn't your best friend? Or at least a very good friend?3
