Sorry for my absence the past week and a half. @TeresaW2024 put me in my place and it took me some time to process what she wrote in a positive way. My knee-jerk reaction was to pout and be indignant. I'm thankful for that, tho, cuz I needed it. Onto my intro… Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer and I’m a single 51 year…

@trooworld – your MIL isn’t going to be staying with you for that entire time, is she? I hope not. It’s so hard when people invade our spaces. Oh man. I hope you get the pain figured out. I’d call the surgeon’s nurse, unless you’re supposed to run everything past the dietician first. @Katmary71 – Super sucks that you get a…

Quick hop to say that the devil is working overtime on me. Ever since the Bulgur Debacle, I have felt completely defeated. I had made some Rancho Gordo Alubia Blancas in the instant pot, and totally overcooked them into a mush as well. Last evening, Oliver and I picked up my mother…along with a Starbucks Refresher and Taco…

@Katmary71 – No problem. I hope you feel better fast ☹ @trooworld – I always forget about fixed route public transportation. Here we only have on-demand available weekdays during first shift hours…and you have to schedule it 24 hours in advance. We need towns to enact a millage to help pay, but people don’t want to.…

@19shmoo69 Hahaha! And a good morning to you, too! Oliver can assist you in selecting a tea whenever you're ready to cross over to the tea side!

@19shmoo69 – Good morning! @AnAbsoluteDiva – Yes, instant pots are awesome with lots of functions. I had never heard of the towel trick. But you said it makes the rice have no chewiness and that’s something I like, so that would probably be why I never heard of that. I’m glad it turned out good for you! I don’t have a…

@AnAbsoluteDiva – An instant pot is an electric pressure cooker. I use it all the time – I’m able to cook my dry beans, unsoaked, in less than an hour. I use it for soups, stews, steaming taters and other veggies, cooking grains, making risotto that you don’t have to stir, you name it! It has many functions. You can also…

@AnAbsoluteDiva – I love to buy frozen blueberries for my smoothies. Cheaper than fresh and so convenient! I love brown rice. I cook it with my vegan chicken broth powder, but you could sub any flavor broth. I don’t bother soaking, but I do rinse the rice. I use a 1:1 ratio and cook it in my Instant Pot for 20 minutes and…

I’m hopping back in… @TeresaW2024 – Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you’ve fully recovered from your celebration. I have to ask a question that is going to sound rude. It’s not meant to be rude at all. The double patty smash burgers and country bowls both sound extremely high in calories and fat. Are you doing OMAD? I’m…

@Katmary71 & @Cornanda – To single space, hold down the shift key then hit enter.

Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer and I’m a single 51 year old. I have an American Blue rabbit (her name is Kismet). I have 3 children in their 20s and they have all blessed me…I went from zero to 5 grandchildren in the past 22 months! I go by Grammy since I consider them to be my Grammy Awards 😊 I love to rubber stamp…

@Katmary71 – I am now following you on IG with both my original/regular account (jenniferarentstamps) and the food only one (jennifers_journey_116). Love seeing all your gardening pics! I’m having trouble with both my aerogardens. The only thing I can think of is that I previously used the plant food that came with them.…

Nice job on so many losses, everyone! @trooworld – Can I get your falafel recipe, please? And I’m gonna guess your Sriracha recipe wasn’t very spicy because of the amount you used. I typically put more than that on just MY food LOLs! So happy to read your knee is behaving for you! Nice job on the walking – that path looks…

@Katmary71 – I have been wanting a Vitamix for years! I have a Ninja, so I have to be satisfied with that for now. Does what I need it to do, which is mainly my mayo, sour cream and other sauces. I bought the larger cup for it, so I can blend up to 2 cups at a time. Did the cooking lesson recipes require a Vitamix or can…

Amelia got to go home yesterday 🩷 Please keep the prayers coming for her and her parents. Marcus told me today that it's obvious that she's in a lot of pain. The only pain reliever she can have is Tylenol. He also said she is only eating about 1 to 2 oz at a time, so she's waking up every 2 to 3 hours. I haven't been doing…

@bobboyardee – I hope you’re feeling better! @Katmary71 – Following you back! I’m glad to see you’re feeling better. The elderberry lemon balm tea sounds yummy! @trooworld – the Puppy Bowl is always so much more fun! I’m so glad you’re feeling better and the alarms are working. Setting alarms was my first thought…glad…

Oh - one more thing. I decided to create an Instagram account where I'll post pictures of my meals...hopefully daily. Thought it would be a good way to keep accountable with healthy food choices while I get rid of these 60 extra pounds. You're welcome to follow me, if you want. My user name is: jennifers_journey_116

Beautiful baby Amelia Kay joined us last Wednesday the 5th weighing 7 lbs 4 oz, which the doctors say is good. The bigger, the better for surgery. They are able to go in through her side to fix the coarctation of her aorta instead of open heart, so that is a huge praise! Please keep your prayers coming for tomorrow's…

@Katmary71 – Oliver is too cute. That barometric pressure is painful. Hugs. Sounds like this roommate is a good fit and you’re becoming fast friends! @TeresaW2024 – I didn’t think about the fact that butt-munch had been living there but not on the lease, so that would be their cause. Still stupid, IMHO. Prayers for Joe.…

@Katmary71 – The liver issue is something women can develop during pregnancy and it will go away after baby is born. @laurelfit57 – Awww Happy Gotcha Day, Ty! She’s so cute 😊 @TeresaW2024 – Seriously? Is that even legal to evict someone in this situation? I’d be contacting Legal Aid to find out. I don’t think they are…
