If they don't give an H, they could just take out the "Ug," and it would be OK.

WSB - "Welcome South, Brother." Heck, I remember WTCG (channel 17) before it ever went over the satellites to cable subscribers and eventually Captain Courageous changed the call sign. And yes, I remember that if even one flurry of snow was in the forecast, everyone went nuts and there would be no milk in the groceries. Of…

There used to be a cheese shop at Lenox Square - right near "Butt Head." That was almost a half century ago. It's the first place I tried cheese that had ash running through it. That's back when the DeKalb Farmers' Market was in its original location and was much smaller (though still really big). I still think about…

@springlering62 That makes me think of Gracie Allen's Recipe for Roast Beef: Start with one large roast and one small one. Put the two roasts in the oven. When the little one burns, the big one is done.

@AnnPT77 I saw a Georgia Candy Roaster squash in my co-op. I thought about buying it, but I was on foot and didn't have a backpack. The thing weighed over eight pounds. I'm tempted, but that's an awful lot of squash if for some reason it's not to my liking. I'm not a huge fan of Hubbard, and I bet they are similar.

A couple dives in the aquarium. Neither was particularly long or difficult. Both dives in the Open Sea (Pelagic) exhibit. First was a siphon dive - sucking up waste. We took about 45 minutes and cleaned debris up from the med-pool on the way out. I found a couple shark teeth and a bat ray tooth on that dive, but they all…

It might actually be good for building humility to have more struggle than I'd like. Of course the real deal is that I know what I need to do, but sometimes I just don't. That's kind of like giving up just a little bit, but yeah - I'm not going to throw in the towel. I know how much better I feel when I'm eating right,…

I have thoroughly enjoyed being a spectator on this successful attempt. Truly inspiring. The only year-long goal I set for myself was about logging miles. I convert steps from my Garmin and use an equivalent number of miles doing other activities based on time (three or four miles per hour depending how intense the…

And, @AnnPT77, you know the value of listening and slowing to an appropriate pace. That will get you there faster than if you rush it. Wisdom? You already shared it. Just shining a little back.

I bet you'll hit 10,100,101 pounds or maybe even 10,111,101 pounds, and those are nifty palindromes!

Our education system fails our kids (and therefore all of us) in so many ways. We never attended the same school or else one of us would have been picked SECOND to last for sports.... Even today I still don't "chomp at the bit" to go to the gym. I love being active, but some seasons I'm less so. I feel much better when I'm…

@springlering62 I'm sure if you spend some time looking through this thread you'll be inspired by some different cheeses, many of which you may be able to find. I don't know how far you are from Decatur, but I think I remember that Dekalb Farmers' Market used to have a nice selection of cheeses. The world of cheddar is…

I'm happy to read your good news @AnnPT77 I will be surprised if you don't bounce back pretty quick. I'm sure the cat is glad to hear the news too.

Don't laugh, but American Cheese is probably what you're looking for. The manufacturing process is done in part to prevent the oil from separating. Some Swiss melts OK. Cheese toast with Swiss would go good with a tomato sandwich. Step it up with some goat chevre. It won't melt like American Cheese, but it's got a tang.…

I was really enjoying getting back into the habit of making home-made bread. Can't do it. Same thing with biscuits! That said, I just made a batch or cornbread. I only made it because I prearranged giving some away to neighbors. It turned out really good. I hope they come home soon.... I better go find that post about oats…

@springlering62 I am probably going to order some canoe paddle pogies from a Canadian company that makes heat-reflective ones. I have them for my kayak paddle - just neoprene. I have an older pair that I retired when I found a great deal on some new ones. I bought a few pairs of those - one for myself and two for two other…

@AnnPT77 There is a Canadian company that makes canoe pogies that look like they are da-bomb. I'm trying to convince myself to get a pair. Rowing pogies would also be nice because.... rowing whitewater rafts in the winter is COLD. Having something for the Wenonah boats would be really nice. You can pretty much have miles…

I often wear gloves in that weather. I have an issue where my hands get way colder than they should. It's why I don't canoe much in the winter. I can kayak because I can put "pogies" on my kayak paddle. I might invest in some canoe paddle pogies; they are different. They'll only work if I paddle on one side like I do for…

I was at the local Humane Society Thrift Shop today. Love the place. I found a copy in very good shape of the 1975 edition (6th printing from 1979) of "Joy of Cooking." I know. It's kind of odd that I don't actually own that book yet. Well... now I do! I consider it two bucks well spent. I think I'm going to do some…

Or get a job that won't kill you. Sometimes it's a good choice to wish an employer farewell for a better quality of life. I'm really glad I did.

My mini goal is pretty pathetic. All I want to do right now is end this year weighing less than I did when the year started. I've been up and down so much. I'm not even going to be upset if I don't get back to my ideal maintenance range before the end of the year, but it would be nice. I do want to be back in my ABSOLUTE…

Around here, "cream" usually means heavy cream - the kind you can whip. Some people use that in coffee. It has a lot of dairy fat. Most people who use "cream" in coffee use half-and-half. It's half cream and half whole milk so it has less fat. Some people use "milk" in coffee. That can mean skim milk (no fat) low-fat milk…
-
What if you wean yourself from the cream and just drink black coffee? I never thought I'd do it; now I can't imagine adding cream to anything but gas station coffee. Get good beans and you might find you don't need to pollute the coffee. If you do use some kind of cream or creamer, log it separately. That also means you…

Makes you wonder why some men want a "cave" of their own. I used to do some very mild caving. Nothing that required protection, although there were some spots we would have been wise to be on belay. And there was a couple times we went through very tight spots, but not that tight. I doubt I'd be happy to do that again.…

November wasn't very good for me either. October was great. November, not so much. I'm starting the last month of the year right about where I started the year....

@mjbnj0001 Send me some of that soup! I found an entry in the database for "Thanksgiving Feast" or something like that. I used that entry for two of my days over the past week. Works for me. Scale was actually down the morning after Thanksgiving. Go figure.

I was out for a pint the other day when a neighbor came in. He ordered a turkey roll - leftovers from Thanksgiving. As he ordered, he said, "Again." Apparently he had been in a couple times already. Also apparently, he had an unhappy Thanksgiving. His housemate made what he called a "sad turkey." Apparently he left it out…
