@trooworld I don’t blame you about not using the electric grill. The NYT recipe sounds good. Too bad about your husband having a cold. My son is almost over his cold. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. My son and I are going to Yellowstone on Sunday. I can’t wait. Traveling with him is so much fun. This afternoon we went to…

@trooworld Yesterday sounded really relaxing. Glad you got to rest. The chicken sounded good. Sometimes I cook indoors instead of on the grill. Luckily DS doesn’t mind grilling. Hi, all. It’s still cloudy but not as dismal as yesterday. I walked outdoors and it was nice. Tonight DS is grilling chicken unless it rains.

@trooworld The baked beans were really good. I followed the recipe as written except I used 3 cans of navy beans instead of the kinds listed. I have made this recipe several times and everyone likes it. It is sweet enough but not as sweet as canned baked beans. I’m glad grocery shopping was easy and you enjoyed the ground…

@its_cleo Yes, it’s Memorial Day weekend. Everyone lives near me and it’s a good reason for us to eat a meal together. I’m sorry you’ve had a stressful week. Good job on being on track. Biking 10 km is a lot. I know how the cold weather affects arthritis.

@trooworld That sounded like a lovely day! Good luck with grocery shopping. I need a few things but can wait until tomorrow. Hi, all. Dinner was good and I had leftovers which I put in the freezer. Tonight we are having the meal we were going to have for Mother’s Day: hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. I’m making Skinnytaste baked…

@trooworld That’s too bad about getting lost at LAX. The souvenirs sounded nice. That was thoughtful of your DH to bring you them. I’m glad you slept better. Hi, all. I prepared a Skinnytaste recipe for stuffed shells with meat sauce this morning. I have everything ready to bake in the oven for family dinner tonight. DS is…

@trooworld By the time you are reading this, I hope you slept better with DH being home. The gym sounds like a good idea. The price looks good and it will probably have what you need. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. We had steak for dinner. I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

@trooworld I know you will be happy when your husband gets home. Sometimes boring is good, especially if you can get some rest. @its_cleo I’m also nervous about going to the dentist as several years ago I had 2 teeth pulled. I have implants now so all is good. Good job on not ordering pizza. Good idea to continue Pilates.…

@trooworld I’m glad your toe is okay. Too bad about traffic. Glad you got better sleep even though it wasn’t what you wanted it to be. Your dinner sounded good. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. Not much is going on. No cooking tonight as we are eating leftovers.

@trooworld I hope your toe is okay. That was a rude awakening! @its_cleo I’m glads the yoga and Pilates were okay on your hip. That was good that you could call someone to save the gosling. That’s too bad about your sunglasses. Hi, all. DH and I had dentist appointments this morning. All was okay. I went for a walk…

@trooworld It’s nice that you connected with a friend. I don’t blame you for missing the virtual meeting. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. I had to get a few things from the grocery store. Luckily I live close to the store. Tonight we went to see our granddaughter perform in her rock group. She plays the drums and the bass…

@trooworld I can understand that you have trouble sleeping with your DH being gone. The reading groups sound relaxing. Hi, all. I went for a walk this morning and waited too late to go, so it was hot. I’m not doing much today. Dinner will be at my daughter’s house.

@mh7816 It’s good that you lost what you gained. You are a good daughter to visit your mother when you have to travel so much to see her, especially since your relationship was tenuous. And it’s good that she is in a good nursing home. @trooworld That was nice that you didn’t have traffic. I remember that airport in LA.…

@trooworld Congrats on onederland! Way to go! I hope traffic wasn’t too bad. I remember traffic in LA. @cbabie I have never used chatGPT. I’m glad you are using it to get you unstuck. I was always glad when school was out. I was a teacher and didn’t work summers so summers with the kids were relaxing. Hi, all. We went to…

@trooworld That’s cool that your DH and his sister are going to Japan. A frozen pizza sounds good. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. My afternoon was relaxing as I didn’t have much to do. I prepared America’s Test Kitchen Creamy Polenta with sausages and peppers. It was good, but labor intensive and I made a mess in the…

@trooworld I’m glad your DH didn’t flush the mop water. I bet you can find something on the internet to prove that you’re right. Your meal sounded good. Hi, all. I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and errands to run so I didn’t get to walk outside. It was too hot after lunch. I rode my bike instead. Dinner was…

@trooworld It’s good to have a day that’s pretty normal. Too bad you got to bed late since you have to get up so early. @cbabie. I’m sorry Mother’s Day was so sad for you. Good job on the weight loss. Hi, all. DH and I had to drop off his truck for maintenance so, since we were already out, we went to the recreation…

@trooworld That was a good idea to have sandwiches instead of the Italian food. Lunch is a good time to get together. @its_cleo Conferences are hard since you have no control over what you eat. I’m glad you have a book to read. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. I was going to grill some chicken but it rained so I used the air…

@trooworld I’m sorry that Mother’s Day brings bad feelings. I have something similar but it was a stepmother. Luckily I had my MIL and an aunt who was like a mother to me. Wow, 95 is hot! Your meal sounded good. It’s good that you only ate a little bit of it. I hope you had a good time with your SIL and MIL. That meal,…

@trooworld Your weather sounds perfect. We had a nice day today, also with temperatures in the low 60’s in the morning and high 60’s in the afternoon. @its_cleo Your comment on exercise is interesting. I just do what I can. I think everyone needs to lose the guilt and do what makes them feel good. I know what you mean…

@trooworld Too bad about your meal, but at least you enjoyed the mashed potatoes and carrots. Large groups are frustrating as you can’t hear all the conversations. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. Dinner with be last night’s leftovers.

@mh7816 Yes, DS is dear son. DH, dear husband, DD, dear daughter. I have had an iron transfusion and I felt much better afterwards. The shortness of breath might be from the lack of iron. That’s funny about your cat. They love to get out of the house. DD has 2 cats. One escaped but she was able to get him. I always laugh…

@trooworld That’s too funny and weird about your dog. I know it’s good to have a working toilet. The seafood sounds like a good choice at a restaurant. I hope you enjoy it. Hi, all. DS is feeling better. He’s wearing a mask and staying away from DH and me. I cooked an American Test Kitchen recipe for chicken and bell…

@trooworld Your plan for exercise sounds like a good one. A little here and there is better than none. @cbabie I’m sorry you didn’t feel good yesterday. I wonder if the protein bar made you sick. Yes, I do word puzzles: crossword, spelling bee. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. DS wasn’t feeling good and went to urgent care.…

@its_cleo Good job on tracking and resisting the chips and dips. I’m glad your hip is better. I hope you find a good class to help you. @trooworld That’s good that you got your toilet replaced. The salad sounds good. It’s nice to have leftovers for another meal. Hi, all. I had to get blood work done for a doctor’s…

@trooworld I hope you did something fun today. The pasta dish sounded good . I’m glad you enjoyed the art opening. @cbabie I hate driving in rain! That’s funny about your daughter and the spaghetti o’s. They are good but I prefer the ones I make. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. The weather was a little cooler which was…

@trooworld Too bad about your knees and the rain spoiling your plans. Good idea to walk instead of hiking. The pork tacos sound good. @its_cleo Goid job on tracking. I’m glad the beef came out as you wanted. Good idea to freeze leftovers. That’s great and admirable that you are volunteering to clean up. I agree, people can…

@trooworld You have become really active since your surgery! The walking app sounds like fun. What app are you going to use for strength training? Or does the walking app have strength exercises? @mh7816 I have heard of prawns. I think they are like shrimp but maybe different. DS put shrimp in the food processor with other…

@trooworld That looks like a good meal plan. Too bad about the computer. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. I went grocery shopping. The protein bars and chips were on sale so I stocked up. DS is making shrimp burgers for dinner tonight, an ATK recipe, of course.

@its_cleo I’m sure it was frustrating not to have all the ingredients for a recipe. I hate that. Burgers and fries sound good. @trooworld The story about the octopus was really interesting. I hope you figure out your kitchen situation. @cbabie I am glad that you’re feeling better. I wonder if you had what I had on Monday.…
