question about "Let it knead in the bowl for ten minutes,"
So, do I knead it in the bowl then on the board or let it rest for ten minutes then put on the board?
I am very new to this(used to use my bread machine when I did make bread.)
I have my second batch of banana yeast rolls ready to go in the oven in 10 min.
I will try setting my pressure cooker on warm for five minutes before putting the dough in and turning it off when I do put the dough in it and let it just stay in it to rise until double in size. Having it on warm, it left a dryer spot on it, like it did yesterday when I made it(but I messed up and it was on warm for 20 min instead of 5)
The flavor is great, just want to keep practicing- DH says they remind him a little Hawaiian bread.
Think I might try a mango next time I have extras that are over ripe
It’s a typo. It should read “let it rest in the bowl for ten minutes"
THANK YOU Karen- I fixed it on my copy of the recipe.4 -
KJ that little imp doesn’t look one tiny bit scared! Please add me to Rebecca’s (and Lanette’s) Dear Ms Spicy Chicken Nugget request to join your play group. I am 72, don’t always play well with others, but nap very very well.
Heather, Bea is quite the accomplished baker!
Only through pg 65 but time to scoot to line dance class, post office, Freddie’s…
Later, lighter, lovelies!

See the cardiologist tomorrow. He wanted me to lose weight last time I saw him and I have done that but it will be interesting to see how much according to his scale. He also let me go off the statin and I had labs yesterday so hopefully those numbers did not go up.
Foggy here today. Trying to get things organized for our trip next week. DD and I leave for southern CA next Friday. Looking forward to that.
Heather - love the flowers.
Pip - I agree with the others. Things just happen, not always at the best times.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA7 -
More Amazon thoughts-
OK, I penciled it out. So far, the rewards from using my Amazon Prime Chase card more than pay for the yearly Prime fees, and gives me free shipping - as Debbie mentioned - and access to Prime videos.
And I agree with Barbie, Amazon often has items a person can't find elsewhere.
I've had to up my game to be a more savvy shopper with them - only buy from Amazon unless I know and trust the supplier (so no costly return charges I have to pay for) and hit the "buy" button right after it goes into the card so no fishy price hike, lol.
Heather - maybe our Prime is higher here due to the cost of shipping?

With my tablet, I can mention to my middle sister about the importance of keeping her skin and hair clean in private chat in Facebook messenger, and my Facebook feed is filled with products that help with that. Its pretty creepy! So you phone and computer listens and makes note of what you say or click "like".

I'm down 3.3 pounds! Yay! Back to where I was at the beginning of the year. Now I need to avoid celebrating with food. I was close to buying new larger clothes, so I am so glad this is working.
Unfortunately MFP still says I have lost zero pounds since starting. Hope this time I will go all the way down and stay!

Heather – LOVE the red flowers. They make me happy.
Allie – Alfie’s such a cutie!
Pip – All the stuff the others have already said, and then some. Things happen. Hope it’s a good camping trip.
Annie – You really have figured out the secret, which is to take a deep breath and start again. Your can-do attitude serves you well. Well done on losing the weight, too!
Beth – You are such a trooper. Hope your husband is feeling better and that your mom (and your son and you!) get through without getting covid.
Rita – I’m on Goodreads as both an author and a reader, but don’t hang out there much. Eventually I’ll go back on and get my bookshelves caught up. I don’t hang out anywhere online except here. My best friend convinced me to pick up Snapchat on Monday and Tuesday I deleted it off my phone—just not interested. I’m becoming a digital hermit. Kinda like it that way.
Vicki – Both my knees were bone-on-bone, and had been since I was 50 or so. I had the right one, which was in the worst shape, replaced four years ago next month, after the injections stopped working. It was the first time I hadn’t been in pain in more than a decade. Pretty awesome. The left one is bone on bone, but I think all the nerves were cut in the surgery I had at 20 to remove a bone spur. The pain is sporadic. If it gets to be continual, I’ll get it replaced as well, I guess.
Lanette – Agreed that Amazon is getting worse, but every time I run the cost-benefit, I end up re-upping my membership. Shipping, yes, but also Prime music and movies and books, and on and on… Now that I swapped one of my credit cards for a Prime credit card, I also get five percent back on everything I buy from the site. I must decide soon about whether to re-up my Walmart+, which gives me free home delivery as well as free shipping. It has its hazards as well, but with my health issues and the price of gas, has paid for itself in both convenience and money, as well.
Andi – The weather alerts are annoying, I had to silence them so that I’ll see them the next time I look at my phone, but won’t get the audible alert. My first husband was from Wisconsin, and when we ended up stationed in Montana, he would take me to big empty parking lots to teach me how to drive confidently in the snow. It’s a skill I’ve used a lot over the years…
Went up to the little local grocery and snagged a Cheddar Bay Biscuits mix from Red Lobster. Made them to the instructions, and ate one after it was done and realized I have no actual memory of whether they tasted like those in the restaurant--it's been more than four years since I went to a Red Lobster! Ah well.
If Corey doesn't like them, the birds will. We've got a half-dozen pairs of cardinals now, dozens of chickadees, a red-headed woodpecker with black and white bars down his back, and all kinds of other birds who are taking advantage of the suet cakes I put in the bird feeder.
I put my experimental bread mistakes or stale bread out for them as well. I love watching them swoop in and out, squabble and then share. When the woodpecker shows up, the rest watch from a distance. Anytime I walk in the kitchen and there aren't any flying around, I look at the bottom of the pole and Egg's sitting there, glowering at them up in the trees and staying well out of her reach.
Time to get things straightened up a little.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR6 -
Worked, then stopped at Sam’s to pick up my new glasses, then Michael’s to get aida cloth, then Aldi to do a little shopping, then on my way home Kohl’s to return the potato masher I got for Jess. I did see a few Halloween things on sale 80% off and it looks like next month I’ll be getting a $5 coupon so I’ll get them then. And if they’re not there...oh well.
Carla – congrats to Lacy
The plan for tomorrow is to do Kathy Anderson’s Step Workout for Beginners DVD then go to BK just to peel and slice the onions. Then I’m thinking I’ll go to the Dollar General since they’re the only ones who have the distilled water we like, then next door to Food Lion to get tortillas on sale, there must be a way to get from there to the WalMart in Conover so I’ll see if they have the saltines we like, by then the lady who does alterations should be open. Remember I told you I picked up Vince’s fanny pack that we use at Daytona? Well, seems she put in a new zipper, but there’s no pull. So I have to ask her how you close it, we sure can’t figure that out.
Vince heard that some higher-up said that Harley was going to go to all electric. Has anyone else heard this? If they do, I wonder how their clientele will take to this????
For the most part, Amazon delivers pretty quickly. They aren’t always the cheapest, tho. I’ve been waiting for months for these Birkenstocks that I want. A friend who lives in Germany is going to send me them. Even tho with the shipping, they’ll be expensive. But then again, I know that they’ll last a long time (my last ones did) so in the end it’ll be worth it. I’ve also been waiting for a pair of gray jeans to be in stock and they’re never in stock
Rebecca – more food porn…
Heather – great flowers
pip -I’m with the others, stop beating yourself up. It’s not like you killed anyone, did you. Before you know it, this’ll be a thing of the past. Everyone is right, ***KITTEN**** happens
Rita – what I hate about getting old(er) is that it takes SOOO long to heal
Beth – hope your husband gets better real fast. MORE snow for you??????
Sue WA – good luck at the cardiologist and have a safe trip
Lisa – the only thing I do regarding social media is Facebook and that’s mainly to keep in touch with the kids. Don’t do Twitter, don’t do Instagram or Snapchat. Can’t be bothered
Off to Newcomer bowling.

So Hoka's and New Balance with the 1" heels and lifted up toe box (so the foot "rolls" and takes pressure off the metatarsals) might not be so good for everyone. Going barefoot, my feet don't hurt and my balance is much improved. Crocs are recommended.
I'll need to go shoe shopping one of these days but I'm taking my time. Need to keep my feet happy.
Have a great day!

I have thin heel lifts in my Hoka's now, at the advice of my most recent Podiatrist. I've also got them in a couple other pair of shoes. I find I have fewer foot problems if I wear a very slight heel.
I've been told that Crocs are good, but they're just too wide for me.
However, I do need the wide toe box, so I buy men's hiking shoes that lace up. That way I've got the wider toe box, but I can tighten them up toward the ankle so they don't fall off.
Amazon - I order things once or twice a year. They keep trying to sell me Prime, but there's no point.

Morning peeps- I see a few women counting their steps, I’ve never kept track of them and keep forgetting to log them. When I do notice, it’s usually over 15k each day, due to walking the 6 miles no doubt. Well .we take off this morning. Wish me luck , hoping I don’t f$&*k something else up
This is a Step - Distance - Calories calculator
https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/health/steps-km.php
According to it, 10,000 steps is 7 km (for me, at my height).
My longish lunch walks are about 5 km which is 7100 steps. I do another kilometer as part of my commute plus walking around the office and climbing stairs, plus walking Rhody when I get home, plus walking around the house doing housework etc.
Have a great trip!!

Heather ... happy looking flowers!
My son feels fine ... and pray he remains covid-free because he just started a new job on Monday and they've been told that more than one day of illness and they're fired!?! Not quite sure how they get away with that. My husband is holed up in the back bedroom and is pretty miserable and I wear a mask when I take his meals to him. Lots of sanitizing going on here. My mom's facility was made aware that she's been exposed and they'll watch her for 10 days for symptoms and test on day five.
Beth near Buffalo where it's snowing hard.
Is it more than one day of illness without a medical certificate?
We're allowed 2 or 3 days without a certificate, and then questions start to be asked.
I hope your husband gets well quickly and the rest of the family is well.
