Kirby said feedback was that the house didn't have 1-3/4 baths, uhhhh duhhhh, it's not listed as having 1-3/4 baths.... listed 1-1/2.
also that it needed paint. the inside walls, probably. anything you paint will not agree w/everyone's tastes, paint it what you want when u buy it.
Kirby hooked up the airstream so I can hang out in there, I got the tv, internet, bed, frig so I'm good.. took yogi to baby sitters til Monday. gotta find a place to park the car (can't be in our driveway). 1st showing is at 8am, last is 5-5:30pm. another long day. told Kirby to ride home, change in the garage and walk his way around to the front to get to the airstream,
20 showings today5 -

Lisa That mallow plant is in the same family as your pink and yellow hibiscus, I believe.
Kim Is this zucchini an heirloom, do you think? I'd like to save the seeds and plant next spring if so...2 -
Dusted and vacuumed bedroom. Will do more vacuuming, cleaning and washing this week.
Set up a steamer to help breathing.
Don't want to sneeze after surgery!
Also went to a department store a little further away ... and won't likely return there any time soon. Too busy. Too many people not social distancing. Mostly elderly ladies who act like they are completely unaware of anything unusual going on. And packs of young guys wandering everywhere. Last time we were there, before C19, security removed a pack of them so this seems to be common behaviour in this particular store. But we got a few things we wanted ... and left the store as quickly as possible.
I've been on the hunt for button-up shirts but they are surprisingly difficult to find. I saw a few linen shirts, but they're too scratchy for me. I saw several that are really short and that style doesn't suit me any more. But nice, smooth, hip-length button-up shirt in a colour other than white just aren't popular right now. Also, I don't want to spend much on button-up shirts since I don't really like them ... but I need to wear them for the next month or so.

Oh, Bette came back from the hospital, she’s as good as new, can’t ever tell he got hit3

Lisa in happy place. Listening to soothing music and Drew napping at my side.3

She’s all nice and purdy now. Kirby gave them a great review. When he went inside to hook her up so I can stay in it today, we found a vent hose exposed and some doors off. He’s gonna call them Monday. To see if someone can come out and fix it or he will retract his review and update it if he has to bring it back for them to put her back together

Hello everyone! Such a lovely deeply supportive interesting thread! I will slowly work up to writing and sharing myself.
I have no experience with such large zucchini but my fav zucchini dish is browning thin slices in olive oil then mixing with pasta and warm sour cream.
I would also take a weekend to try the new area. I could never hack the heat in Florida but people are very dif that way. My dream spot would be somewhere cold and dry but close to a large body of water, salt or fresh.4 -
Sarah- sounds good. I don’t add sour cream or Greek yogurt never occurred to me. I do love browning my thin slices in olive oil1

Hi Gals,
Zucchini - Oh ladies I shook my head and laughed at how many of you would compost or toss a large (or Lisa ANY) zucchini. The throw it out mentality is what adds to the huge quantity of wasted food in the US. The large zucchini is perfect for grating or stuffing and maybe you don’t eat the skin, and have a bit more seeds to scoop out but the flesh is fine. As someone who counts every penny I would never throw out a large or any other zucchini.
Karen that is a zucchini that is called an 8 ball it is an heirloom and while it is a bit on the big side it is not as large as they will get. They are at any size considered a stuffing zucchini. The very small ones are single serving, you trim the top off, scoop the seeds and then fill it and serve – very cute. The one the size you have I would cut in half horizontally filling the bottom with stuffing and then grate the top.
Stuffing ideas –
sausage and rice, cook the sausage and cook the rice, mix together with other veggies, seasonings you like a bit of cheese put it in the zucchini and drizzle with marinara sauce… you can use a different meat, quinoa or orzo instead of the rice.
Cornbread and taco seasoned beef – make cornbread, cook the ground beef in taco seasoning dice the cornbread and mix with the beef add a bit of cheese stuff and drizzle with salsa….

Margaret – I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Drew had a problem with the child or the other animals and was acting out.
Pip – you can’t please all the people all the time. I know a lot of people park their RV’s in WalMart’s parking lot
Does anyone have a dessert recipe that uses a lot of egg yolks? I have 12 that I’d like to use up. Only thing is…it can’t be something chocolate.
Went to Food Lion early this morning. Got ice cream for Steve. It was BOGO, Edy’s ice cream. Also got a rain check for Pepsi. I knew they didn’t have any of the diet caffeine free because I took it all yesterday…lol But I got a raincheck for later.
Sarah – welcome! I thought, too, that I could never hack the heat in NC. But eventually you do get used to it. Now I’m very sensitive to the cold, I hate it. Even humidity…I think you get used to it.
Last check in before the pool!!!

Hi Gals,
A couple of thoughts on grated zucchini - it is great added to soup, stew, or stir fry… but what I do is grate squeeze out the liquid, measure into 2 cups and put into zip bags (sandwich size is just right) freeze and then later defrost and re-squeeze out the liquid, which leaves you with 1 cup of dry zucchini. This is a great thickener for a soup or stew, and perfect for zucchini bread, or my newest find a recipe from delish.com for zucchini pizza crust, no gluten, just a bit of cornstarch so mostly keto, and while not really great for CICO as there is a lot of cheese I found it to be an acceptable treat.

Machka, I do hope I am wrong but surgery and button down shirts rang a bell. I used zippered sweatshirts at home after my lumpectomy but it didnt take long till I wore my regular clothes. Wishing you well and an easy recovery. You are right about the sneezing.4

Michele - scratch pound cake takes a bunch of yolks. as does baked custard1
-

Setting more realistic goal: 6 lbs by July 31.
Starting weight: 135

Michele I agree. I saw this with Wendy. I am glad the previous owner did what was best for her not an easy thing to give up a dog.2

It's a surgery to fix a badly diviated septum and to reduce turbinates.
I'm not to wear pullovers for a while in case I bump my nose and set off bleeding. It also occurred to me today that all my bras are pullovers ... sports bras. I think I'll have to pick up one with hooks. But I will try to do that at a much quieter store closer to home.

The way I read the article, it looks like they were getting a refund at some point, not paying the cruise line. Maybe I misread.
Pip ~ I'm sorry the air stream was left with a few problems and hope it will get fixed in a timely manner.
My DnL's mom took her and the kids to a condo in Orange Beach, Alabama for a week and DnL says the beach there was so crowded you couldn't move. This is because the beaches in Fla are closed so all the folks headed to Alabama. I sure hope they come home safe and sound and in good health.
