Dh prefers take out food over home cooked. He would be very happy if it was meat and rice(He is Japanese so not a fan of potatoes). He will eat a little veggies if they are on his plate. He is a HUGE snacker too. Bags of chips are gone in an evening, he also loves sweets- NOT good choices for a diabetic with high blood…

Sleep was not very good last night, even though I was very tired. Between dh waking me up when he came to bed, him on his cell phone with the lights in my eyes, it being very hot and the darn mosquitos that came in from the catio I guess - Had at least 5 big bites before I got up at 1AM and took a cold shower. Got up early…

Thank you- I really do enjoy cooking and wish it was appreciated a bit more. Irritating when I cook a big meal and I am the only one that wants to eat when it is ready. My dh is the same way but it is stuff he buys online because he couldn't pass up a bargain. Each time I clear a spot out, he fills it with more stuff. He…

started with 2 1/2 pounds of frozen strawberries from food program yesterday. No room in the freezer for that big a bag so cooked them down all the way. that is half way through. Just finished cooking:

Good night and sleep well!!

she sells some and gives some to people at church plus when she starts baking, she uses a lot. They used to have a lot more hens and sold eggs and veggies at Farmer's Market until fees got too high and they stopped doing market. After that, sold on their own

Lanette- Safeway had their McCormicks Grill Mates spices on sale a few weeks back. I got six different ones. First at $1.49 then .99 the following week with the coupon(instead of $4.99). I got one of each of the varieties that sounded good. A few I got extra on. Having my spices set up has really helped. My go to is their…

read quite a few pages- two more to go but eyes are too tired to read more. May end up taking a nap today too- I rarely nap and usually 10min at most. Feel like I need a few hours or more. Going to go to bed early this evening- up early for my walk before Ezie comes in tomorrow. If I get a bit more energy/eyes not so…

that is how canning season was for us growing up- we planted an acre of garden. It was either froze or canned if it wasn't eaten fresh. Everything in 100ft rows, multiples of every crop.

Have you tried adding different spices to the chicken? I had fun the last time I cooked chicken-pressure cook 10 min then air fry 10 min. After the pressure cooker, I put a different seasoning one each piece(color coded with colored toothpicks) to see which ones we like most. The maple bourbon was a big hit. All were good.…

Got home from mom's a bit ago- unpacked most of the stuff. I picked up extra dry goods that mom had from the food program to give to my friend who has 5 grandkids that live there either full time or part time. This is all extra food that the neighbors of mom's that she picks up boxes weekly for don't want. They come part…

you need to let them ripen- when they turn more yellow/red and not green plus they need to be slightly soft. Our Cardenas Mexican place has them this weekend 4/$1 for the little ones. Heading up to mom's for the weekend. Will check back in on Sunday. Have a great weekend everyone

I am not sure which version we ordered- he ordered it after I was in bed and didn't have my glasses on. I just wanted to go to sleep(he should have been sleeping hours before-ended up not sleeping at all before going to work at 11:30PM) He didn't buy the other one through Fitbit- through a 3rd party. He is sending it back-…

Thanks Lisa- I am hoping the new fitbit comes in before I leave this afternoon Here is another of Joel's quilts-They really are amazing. He is going to help me with quilting and if I have any gardening questions, (now that dad is gone), I message him. I have known him a few years in class then found out a year ago that he…

Tracey- love the quilt!!! Amazing that you will get to work on the old desk- think of all the things that were written over the years on it. Vicki- glad you are feeling better-sounds so scary
-
I love the quilts. I have one that looks similar that my grandmother had- I need to do the same and upcycle it. I also have one that was hand made by my great grandmother. She did the tops for all of us girls and mom but never finished them. A couple years ago, mom had a friend finish them. They are crazy quilts. It was…

DH looked it up and it is very twitchy trying to use the Amazfit with MFP so not getting that. Found a Fitbit that is a newer version of mine I think and about the same price- put a 3 yr warranty on this one(my third one. The second only lasted a few months). $72 including the warranty. The other was about half the price…
-
Does anyone know if the Amazon Amazfit will link with MFP?? I have had my Fitbit but my second one has not died too. Thinking of going with another tracker but want one that will like with MFP and that is simple to use.

That is great news- I remember getting my report- best three words I could have heard that day " margins are clear" caught the little possum out in the garage and relocated it- if it sneaks back in, it will be relocated further away. Feral backyard cat, Jack, woke me up early, talking to the other cats in the catio- 45 min…

Wa[/quote] My father is scanning all his old family photos and my mother's old family photos and the photos they took from when they got together until photos became digital. He's doing that for them ... they play on a monitor as the desktop wallpaper. But it benefits me because digital copies drift my way from time to…

Yes, when you cut jasmine, it has a white sticky sap that comes out. Cutting the whole hedge of it and the sap drips all over. Hands, hair, jacket. I don't have to cut it back too often, maybe twice a year. Dh used to cut it right as it was about to bloom. Now I tell him I will do it but AFTER it is done blooming.
-
Lisa- thank you!! I hear that often. In some ways I look like my dad but almost completely like mom.
-
The bad thing here is both dh and I keep way too much stuff. For me, it is craft supplies for both me and for the daycare kids and other stuff for the kids. I will be so glad when I am totally done with the daycare and can clear it all out. Beings I don't know what age kids I will get next(will continue to do this part…

I use my IP(different brand but that type). I do have an old fashioned one from the neighbor but have never used it. May use the pot when making jam or something. Nice size. I need to find the WD 40- I looked last night but didn't see it and sure wasn't going to ask DH. I need to go find it today because, food in the trap…
-
Kylia- I really wish dh would not let his mom get to him the way he does. He has been in a really terrible mood- saying we will be better off with him gone, then someone else can take care of her, that he can't do it on his own. I agree but HE has to be the one that changes it. I can't say anything because unless I totally…
-
Thanks Barbie!! just text my friend,need to borrow her trap. The baby possum is back in the garage again- not sure how he got in. I will let him go in the back yard(instead of the front yard like last time but I was holding its tail in my hand so just wanted to get him out of the garage). If he comes in again, we will…

for mom, it really cut down her propane bill when she was using the fireplace only. The room mate kept turning the heater up when mom wasn't home. Had to fill up the tank twice this past winter instead of once at most. Mom kept telling her not to use it or keep the thermostat down. For her, she is given most of her…

Got up early, fed the cats then walked for just over an hour- a bit chilly but better than too hot. Came home, took care of the litter boxes and their messes(pee pads) then did the dishes. Got water started in the garden. Started my second cup of tea when Ezie came in. Fitbit isn't syncing like it should- need to uninstall…

I have seen the coffee filter type liners and they are great for the basket type of air fryer. Ours has two flat shelves in them. I guess I could use just parchment paper but for things like chicken and other meats, I want as much fat to render out and get away from the meat as possible.
