Sheryl I'm so happy to hear that Norma was not at the building where the shooting took place. It's such a sad sad situation, I just don't understand why this keeps going on and on.

I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving, my turkey turned out really good, nice and golden brown and then I did make mashed potatoes but I use chicken broth instead of milk and I made a baked sweet potato and I had a little stuffing and gravy! Today I made a pumpkin pie. I have no idea why I did but I really wanted one so…

I know, I am already bored to death! Tony left on the 18th.

I am going to slice the breast and cover it with broth then freeze. I think the broth keeps it moist. Then I pull of the legs and thighs and put them in freezer bags for soup later on. Same with the rest of it. Often times I will cook up the remaining bones for broth and let it cool then strain and put in containers for…

Good morning friends! not much going on right now with me Tony is in Virginia visiting his family for Thanksgiving. He will be gone until December 2nd, so I have the place to myself, well me the two parakeets and the two cats. We finally got a new fence built around our senior garden plot before Tony left for Virginia, its…

Anewstart22, I had that problem once and a Plumber told me that often times it is from the liquid dishwasher soap. Now and then you may buy a bottle that may have been exposed to freezing temperatures which will cause it to change the velocity! Who knew?? I switched to the pods that you just drop in and from then on, no…

Good morning from sunny California! I'm reading all of your post and trying to keep up, you all are so busy! I finished painting the garden bench yesterday and got that all put back together Tony did a lot of yard work, tree trimming, weeding and did some rose trimming and general cleanup. Today I'm being lazy while Tonys…

Arobed53 the microphone is on the keyboard, now this is on my tablet and cell phone, not the pc. But you could buy a microphone for a pc or laptop.

That should say gopher proof the edge of the garden. I'm using my microphone and sometimes it doesn't pick up what I'm saying correctly!

I am so far behind keeping up with you. Jlhawki, my photo is of a abutilon flower that I made into a little doll. Have you seen the hollyhock flower dolls? That's what I based it on you can see them on my blog http://zoesfoodhaven.blogspot.com/2011/04/hollyhock-and-abutilon-dolls.html. I worked in the garden yesterday…

Isyvanek, thank you! It's been a bit of a struggle getting started again but now I feel good and on track! I may go for a total of 20# and then that's it!

Anewstart, I didn't spend very much time on the site yet. II still need to do that, it does look like it may take some time and I seem to be on the go lately. We got the garden almost ready to plant, compost is in now and the we need to get that dug in and plant.

I think it sounds great and I'm going to look into it!

Hi All, I am just stopping in for a few minutes. I went to the senior garden today and removed most of the spent plants. I left the sorrel, 2 hot pepper plants and some garlic chives. I think I spotted some arugula coming in so that will be nice to have for salads in a few weeks. I don't think I will begin planting the…

Sheryl, so sorry to hear that John is needing more attention. I know how patient you are and I can't imagine how you cope sometimes. Of course I know you love him and that in itself would make one patient, but believe me I don't know how you do it. One day at a time, I presume. Isabella, good to see you. Will we ever get a…

Kristine, One thing I noticed about this site is that it shows a lot of repeated food in the list. I try to use the ones with the green check-mark. I think that means it is verified for nutritional info? I figure even if it is not exact it is still better than me not logging at all. One thing I noticed since I have logged…

Marcie, I use Ancestry.com too. For awhile I paid the 20.00 a month then finally decided to go to the next step so that I could access more international stuff. It is so very interesting to find the links. I found the ship manifest that showed when my grandmother came over from Norway. I found a lot of information on my…

I decided not to join the group weigh in wednesday. I am posting on Facebook instead and will just post a new photo of me once a month showing my progress that way. Logging food keeps me busy enough since I make all of our food from scratch. It takes time to enter in all of those recipes.

Hello friends! I am sorry I don't check in much but I do on FB so look for me there too. Anewstart: That silver-plate pattern is the one my mother had when we were growing up! I have a few pieces of it and always wondered what the pattern name was, thanks to you I now know. I had a nice walk today and managed to lose 1.5…

Hi Everyone, I took some time to finally check in and see how all of my old friends are doing. I read all on this page so I am pretty caught up on what you all have been up too. Tony and I are doing fine. I am trying to log my food as often as I can remember, I need to do that first thing in the morning before I get…

Sheryl, I am so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. I will keep you all in my prayers. This is my first stop in at the PBS in months and I to read this is so sad. Take care TSSAB

czoerun here but my new username on MFP is cjdigsindirt. This is so great that you all got this going so quickly! I hope one day the MFP will get the extended nutritional data like we had at NutriMirror, also I would like to see more data for fiber, etc. :(
