graphic photos of lamb and bunny attack lol So adorable. I hope you are feeling much better soon donna. It looks like a fun card session. Are those gals regulars for card making? I'm glad you got over your fear of the IP, Mihani. They are so handy and perfect for someone as busy as yourself. Speaking of, I'm going to soak…

The car is out, but not in. I drive our 4wd side by side down to the car and then Joe runs errands and calls me when he's ready for me to drive down and pick him up. The fields are still white but I'm starting to see patches of green and there's rain in the forecast this weekend. Let me know if you land on a good chickpea…

Thanks for the ideas, Mihani. I have a recipe somewhere for an indian dish I used to make for breakfast that used chickpea flour for the base. I'll have to look for that. I have not being feeling the yams lately but I do think I'll pick up some potatoes and try nuking those for breakfast with veggies & maybe with a dollop…

Maybe it is time to get a new vehicle! Now our car is stuck part way down the driveway. I only hope no one tries to come up the driveway and then slides into our car.

Today Joe is going to try to get out of the driveway. Actually, I'm pretty sure he can get out, the question is if he'll be able to get back up when he returns! I have been dealing with a migraine the last few days and it is still hanging on today. I have a sore neck too so maybe things are out of alignment. Awesome job on…

Congrats on your awesome lab results. Hard work paying off! Kind of nice that a spot opened and you were able to get the surgery without all of the waiting and worrying. Smart move walking with the cane. Better to be safe! We're still enjoying the plantage food. There is a lot of variety and most of the meals are really…

Mihani, we get so much use out of our air fryer too. I love it. We've gotten a ton of use out of the instant pot, but lately with our plantage meals and less cooking it hasn't been in use. Your talk about potatoes has me craving them. I do love my starches. It is one thing after the other at your work place. Are you back…

Good morning from snowy WA! We won't be going anywhere for a while. Joe and to cancel and reschedule his specialist appointment and we canceled our Plantage meals since we can't get out to pick them up. I'm hoping we'll be able to get out of the driveway this coming weekend so we can get some groceries in the house and up…

Congrats on the 7lbs, Mihani! That is awesome. It is nice seeing a post from you again, you have been missed. Looks like a fun card making session, bisky. I'm a big fan of polka dots and pandas so I'm loving those cards. My mom does love her scarf. She is one of the people in my head when I am making things. I always want…

Oh wow, what a strong reaction to gluten! It must be hard to make sure it is never in anything, especially when you eat out. I would be uneasy before surgery too, but it's very exciting that you're able to get the implant! I hope it works out great for you. Is it outpatient surgery? Does it start helping right away? We had…

My mom turned 75 today. She and my dad are coming over for lunch. I'm giving her the scarf I made for her, which I forgot to post once it was done. I ended up having cassoulet for dinner last night. Yum. lots of beans in it, and had it with a big green salad.

We have some sunny weather this morning, so I brought my newest scarf along on my walk with the doggos to get a pic. It is feathery soft and light. I've been having an Ezekiel english muffin with a folded just egg for breakfast lately. I know it isn't a well rounded meal or anything, but it is quick and savory. I am so…

Your place looks lovely, Donna. We never use our dining area. We sit at the island or at the t.v. That big dining room table (which has 2 or 3 inserts to make it even more ridiculously large) doesn't get used for much more than stretching out yarn for weaving. I find it really annoying when a restaurant can't have a few…

Thanks, I'll check out Overseas Adventure. My in-laws are on a small cruise line right now, might even have been Viking, but I'll get their review in a few weeks when we meet up with them. If we book with Viking, I'll do the referral thing for sure. That was the perfect thing to do with your snacks! I try to send things…

I'm definitely picking a small cruise ship if/when we go. Viking was one of the ones I was interested in. Healthy food & no snobby formal dinners are both at the top of my priorities list. We had to cancel our Azamara cruise and it has been several months - I have read that they are hard to get refunds from...I need to…

First of all, big congrats on losing weight while on your cruise! I bet there's not many people that can say that. Plus all of those miles walked. I should rethink the cruise idea. You never know which place will steal your heart and it is a great way to see several cities. I didn't know it could snow in San Antonio :)…

Yay! welcome back Bisky! How was your trip? I went for my walk outside this morning. I've been using the treadmill because the ground outside is either too wet, or lately, frozen, which makes for a lumpy and treacherous walk in the field. Today Joe is in the office so I took the doggos for their morning walk. There's…

Sorry you are feeling under the weather, Mihani. Too much stress and long hours. Get some good sleep. *hugs* I have never tried an infrared sauna. Please do report back on your experience with it, Nanc. My new Sous Vide machine stopped working. The screen went wonky. I looked online and apparently even though the…

I have some burnt orange yarn in the dye pot this morning. My cousin requested that color for a toque and I decided to overdye another yarn in that same color while I was at it. My new machine for heating the water kept turning off. I have to let everything cool and then take everything out and figure out what is going on.…

We had our Christmas breakfast out with Joe's dad & my MIL this morning. Good food and a nice visit. We've been getting together with them once a month lately and it has been nice. I don't know what the food plan is for the rest of the day. Yesterday I thawed some of the jackfruit stew that I made but I discovered that it…

We had a nice gathering with family and then came home to our doggos around 6pm. I couldn't eat any of the foods, but I brought along tofurkey slices and an Ezekiel english muffin, greens, tomatoes & mustard and made myself a sandwich. My mom sauteed some mushrooms for me in tamari for on the side. All in all, I got to see…

Merry Christmas! It will be a relaxing morning around here, then we're off to my parent's place to hang out with family in the afternoon. I'm on a dyeing kick, and have some cool results that I'll post once the yarn & fiber are all done. That's all folks! Hope everyone has a great day.

Great news about the new gym, Nanc! Pumpkin bread, yum! Mihani, hope you can make a recipe reminiscent of your dad's. And that you can find the time to do it! I should check if my air fryer has a dehydrator setting. I have done a few experiments with homemade vegan cheese and some of the recipes call for a dehydrator. My…

We use our air fryer every day. This one is a toaster / oven / air fryer all in one. We don't use our oven unless it is something that doesn't fit in the air fryer, which is rare. I'm getting inspired to do some fiber and yarn dyeing again. It has been quite a while since I've had the urge, so I am pretty excited to get…

That's funny, Nanc. I was just like your co-worker with the same lunch every day at the office. That was 10+ years ago now. But I enjoyed it well enough and it was healthy and easy. Good plans for the week, Mihani. Fantastic job continuing with the treadmill. Not too much time left until the new year, you can do it! Over…

happy hump day! Off to the dentist for a cleaning and then going into town to pick up our meals for the week. We're getting half orders lately because I've been having gal bladder issues so I am having as little fat as possible and there's no way to tell how much fat is in the prepared meals. I'm getting lab tests done on…

Happy Thanksgiving! Not much happening here. We picked up a special Plantage Thanksgiving feast that will last us at least 2 days. Today we're going to hang out, relax and be thankful :)

The texture of the jackfruit was perfect for the stew after 45 minutes of simmering in the stew. It held together and was firm and beef stew-like. It would also be great as a pulled pork substitute. It really seems like a processed item rather than just fruit. Off to the dentist!

I hope Lulu is okay, Nanc! Let us know. I like Bisky's suggestion of having a recording or video, some sort of proof. Other than that, if it is making you so unhappy, you could always look for something else quietly while still working there. You never know, you might find a place where you can be happy for the next 2.5…

I'm trying to get back on plan after going waaaaay off track. For the past few days I've been making Vietnamese salads with tofu and loving them. I put in shredded purple cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell peppers, romaine, and thai basil. The colors are gorgeous! For a dressing I'm using a peanut dressing (just peanuts…
