smoked! That should buy a lot of something :) Probably buy a new car with enough of them. I've been enjoying the jalapeno flavour!

The house was pretty well split up like that before. I just added the doorway between the two rooms on the housemate's side - and the vestibule giving them access to the kitchen/bath area without entering my space :)

Are you home, Yooly, or still in Ohio?

Stopping is hard if it's between you and your willpower. Such a first world problem we have. Too much food available.

Me too - but once I stop eating - I don't feel hungry for a little while :) If I stop eating before the numbers are tooo bad.

You'd think! But here it is working again - so maybe it is resolved???

I am a bit surprised at the Whole Grains, Legumes, Pasta and Avocado being (sort of) included in the low-density foods to eat. The calories in those babies pile up really really quick for me.

Brilliant meal, PAV. And it feels like decadent food - but it's not :)

I don't know if this will help or make it worse :)

Great news, Cosmo :) (aka BCLadybug) - the colour/brightness difference is mind boggling !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not enough exclamation points in the world to explain that difference. :) I'm inspired to draw a bit of a floor plan - the pictures really don't make sense otherwise :) I had a technician come to reinstall internet…

That looks amazing - I can see that with strips of extra firm tofu in my future :)

I'm using my desktop - Microsoft

It just hangs. For awhile I could log out and log in when that happened, and it would work - but not lately. But look :) two days in a row.

And here is the little alcove area - not really private yet with all the windows - I'll figure out how to deal with that when I get home. REALLY intrudes on my space though - especially since I now have my old housemates piano for awhile. 😂 But I kinda like it here. I'm fond of him and a big fan of his music so it like it…

Just realized I didn't take pictures of my "fully" finished new doorway. New housemate has already started painting the walls of one side a pretty intense green - wish I had taken pics sooner. So here is that doorway. Doesn't look like much but it was a big job - so VERY much garbage came out of the spot. And it is a…

So beautiful! Waterloo area near here has are large Mennonite population - some days (usually Sundays) I have seen countless - honestly! - families travelling by horse and buggy - I count to 20 … then lose track since I'm usually driving past. Vision is still inconsistent - but not bad - just waiting - hoping :) Will post…

Not good only getting in here every 5 days! So much to see and respond too - so little time. Like a proper food oriented human I will limit my comments to - that poor little Greek potato, PAV. I love those when I can find them chicken broth free - yours looks lonely there. I'm thinking I might have to make some in the next…

Same problem, Creamtea. Days between being able to get into our group :(

Hope it went well, CosmoLadybug 💝 Saving up for large meals does NOT work for me. Unless I'm so busy before and after that I don't get the chance to miss the calories beforehand or have and "endless" meal.

I was able to log in this morning! woohoo. I've tried at least once a day every day - usually twice. It feels like a special prize :)

I've used French style/cut green beans under sauce instead of pasta - they are pretty delicious - and their slight furriness holds the sauce very well!

Where you off to, Yooly???

Vision is getting better - think it is going to be exactly what I want. Am having MUCH trouble with MFP - first time I've been able to get here, to our group, in awhile. :(

Oh I want to see it too, Nic! I hope I haven't missed it here with the chaos of the last week…

That is gorgeous, Nic. I'm writing this message looking through my new right-eye lens. So far vision isn't quite what I'm hoping for - but it may come - and if it doesn't the surgeon said she can make it come with laser come fall. But the surgery was smooth and the recovery uneventful so far! Woohoo. So nice to come and…

brilliant system for peanut butter measuring, PAV. Of course :)

First put spoon on scale and set to zero - then scoop peanut butter and weigh :) 6 grams average :)

I'm playing "what can I get done before surgery" - second eye surgery coming on Wednesday - new housemate coming middle of the month so going a bit crazy since renos/gardening/heavy cleaning off the able to do list very soon. Coming along though! And I've been lucky enough to have assistance - son filled a sink hole that…

Can't remember yesterday :) - but I think "spooned" peanut butter and 3 clementines since that is my norm - unless I run out of clementines than its PB on a plate and apple slices. Thank you for "spooned" PB - love it :) That was today too!

Go Oilers! Tea while watching hockey come Wednesday sounds appropriate :)
