Went out for my walk! John came with me, though I was ready to go on my own. I chose to walk up the road to the top. A couple of bumpy areas because of the tree roots, but I managed it there and back. At the main road I decided to call in at the 'corner shop' and bought three bars of Ritter (German) chocolate. Dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts. It's difficult to find the dark, so I used to call in there occasionally. I buy three so I can pay with a card.
Felt quite pleased with myself. Then made a delicious tomato salad for lunch with basil, to have with pork pie, and celery and lettuce. It was fabulous. English mustard.

Heather - put me down for a Theodora.

Rosemarie - I forgot to comment that it was so neat your son spent a few days with you. And glad you are no longer volunteering at the cat rescue and enjoying your time reading and doing things with your yard.

Kylia - you have an awesome vet. The kitties will do well under his care (and yours

)

Debbie - if I was in charge of the world I'd lock your mom's roommate in with MIL for a few days and see who survives

. Let them go a few rounds! Who knows, it might be a good~! Regarding you pulling up stakes and moving in with your mom, could your DH be trusted to take care of the cats or is that mainly your job? I'm not sure about getting another cat but those little Siamese mixes you are taking care of sure are cute. Glad you don't live close.

Lisa - good job putting that UV film on. I don't think I'd survive in your hot temps. I was working outside a little bit yesterday afternoon in 70 degree sunshine and I nearly swooned, lol.

I was up way too early this morning with a sinus headache. I put the Zyrtec bottle away yesterday morning when I was clearing the bathroom counter so Collette could do her thing. And forgot to take one.

So I was up at 2:30, stuck a little Vicks in my nose, had a couple cups of coffee and all is good. Will take the Zyrtec later this morning before I head out to work in the yard/mow. It's going to be warm so hoping the grass gets dried off before 10 when the thermometer is still in the 60's. I heard mowers going at 7 pm last night, and that's an option too - luckily, most of my lawn is in total shade by then.

Make it a good day ladies!

It amazes me that you like mushrooms, but don't like vegetables because, I think you've said, that they taste like dirt?

Mushrooms taste like musty, muddy, slimy rubber to me.

But then, I am not at all keen on the umami flavours ... I skip or skim over several of the meal descriptions here.

- the bad cheeses
- green tea
- seafood
- meats
- tomatoes
- mushrooms
- vegemite

Not my cup of non-green tea.

What happened at the ER? Was it just an observation situation?

I have a new crown at last! The final bit of dental work on that tooth.

At work, I've been coding like mad in SQL. Coming up with solutions.

At home, packing.

Machka - I think the key is the "sautéed" part of that sentence. I do not like raw mushrooms AT ALL. Corey and I were talking about it last night. I'm in love with roasted garlic of late, as well, and I've always avoided garlic before - I think it's never been cooked enough for me. I could go into the list, but what it amounts to is that so many vegetables, etc., taste bitter to me, cooked or raw, but mushrooms and garlic change completely when cooked correctly for me.

Allie - Make sure you stay cool yourself.

Later, babies,

Heather I would get the Funghi with added pepperoni! That’s what we usually order anyway, but yours sounds really good with the various mushrooms on it!

Breakfast today, last of Corn Chex, 3 strawberries, 1/2 banana, 1 TB. Almond butter

Dinner yesterday was chicken fried steak (from Sam’s Club-note to self DON’T Buy again! Yuck!) with a dab of tomato sauce, slice of provolone cheese and couple slices of pepperoni to hide the taste. The rest of the cauliflower/beet salad in Italian Dressing, and 1/4 spaghetti with genoaise on it. (Genoaise has carrots, celery, and onions chopped and cooked with prosuito, beef, and butter made like a sauce. It’s awesome! Also left over).

Dinner was only a cup of Oikos Triple Zero with a handful of macadamia nuts. Snack was Orange with macadamia nuts.

Well I haven't weighed myself since May 7 and I have been off my diet since well before then. But I'm doing well so far today!

Yesterday I was thoroughly disgusted with the flab on my body. I have gained about thirty pounds since last summer. Time to get serious about losing it!

Annie in Delaware

cityjaneLondon · June 19

Annie - I weighed myself this morning for the first time in months. Through the worst of the immobility and pain, I have put on about 3 lbs. Of course, I was already overweight last time I weighed myself, which had crept up over 4 years! I'm looking forward to getting more active again, as I'm eating sensibly. However, the second hip operation will throw a spanner in the works again.

Still, three pounds could be worse.
I haven't been able to walk for more than ten minutes for around a year, so that accounts for some of it.

I can smell John's delicious Lancashire Hotpot! Just finished our Zoom. My suggestions for arrangements were accepted.

Has anyone in the U.S. tried renewing their passport online, or even by mail? Any advice? The option is there for renewing online for a limited number of people. Neither Corey nor I actually plan to NEED a passport anytime soon, but who knows what ten years will bring? Better to have them and not need them than need them and not have current ones.

Lisa in AR

We renewed our passports last year. I went online and read the directions carefully. Then I printed the forms. Then I read the directions again before filling out the forms. I proofread them carefully. We got our photos taken at Walgreen's (many places do photos, I looked online to find where we could go). It was expensive but I knew the photos would be correct. I mailed everything using Priority Mail to make it extra safe. It was expensive. It was several months before the new passports came which is what they said it would be. It was a lot of work but worth the effort. For many reasons, I feel that having a passport is something that adults do. We have no plans to go anywhere that requires a passport but it feels good to have a current one.

Barbie in chilly NW WA

Hello old friends.

[Lisa in AR] I have used online for passport renewal, getting visas to other countries, and for Global Entry. Barbie had a good suggestion- print everything out first and make sure you have all documentation and credit card handy before you start online. Also, be sure to photocopy each page of your old passport before you mail it to the Passport Office.
You can also make an appointment at the Post Office and do the application there. If it seems like you are not getting the renewed passport back in a reasonable amount of time, call your local Senator or Congressperson. They all have a staff member who specializes in this. Some even hold "passport application and renewal days" in a local library or other public location.

Yes, I am back. I have been reading the community for a while but so much has happened, in my life and that of the family, and work and overseas, that I just couldn't get the energy to add even one comment or post. I am so glad that the stalwarts all seem to be continuing although I have missed seeing some posts from a few I remember. My favorite posts were Pip's bike and garden stories, Lisa's book (Any more published? I really liked the mystery you wrote.), Heather's trip to the Artic Circle in Norway, Kelly's daycare kids, and so much more.

My weight actually is slightly less that it was a few years ago. So back on track.

Heather they all sound really yummy! My husband however would probably get the one with just pepperoni and mozzarella cheese on it. I though love the Symphony of flavors going on!

This morning I balanced the checkbook. I swear my husband goes on walkabouts with his deduction skills! And this is using be calculator as well. How can you start out with 535.00-18.00=560.00?? I'm like where did this come from? So had to refigure everything and balanced. That must've been first day of his cold! He hasn't been going to the gym tis week. Though he did attend Monday and he said he was tired there, and I was like why did you go then? He is taking lots of naps. He processes medicine really quickly. But he's in a fair mood, eating normally, so its not taking a toll on the man.👍🏼 My cold was just like 3 days, and I was careful not to give it to him, but I guess I still did, or he got it from our car ride last Friday.
I made him some blueberry scones yesterday. Its from a package you just add cold water, knead a bit, plop on counter with a bit of flour, make into a mound and cut them into triangles. Because I made some glaze like they said on the package a while ago, I now put them on all, because husband stated they keep them moist longer. My last batch were plain, because I didn't have any powdered sugar for glaze. He was like, even though I am watching my sugar intake, we need to buy more, they taste better with the glaze. Ok boss.😁👍🏼 I don't really have any.
Yesterday I played with the fruit I bought on Friday. Decided to maserate it. Cut up strawberries and pitted the Bing cherries with a single chopstick. Added a splash of lemon, some sugar and a splash of mineral water, tossed and set in frig for a bit. I then toasted a slice of my hearty grain bread, spread on a layer of thick yogurt, and pressed in the fruit. It was delightful!

I still have the yogurt and some fruit, so today will be a repeat performance with some coffee.
