Taste Like Chicken-PB&J Tuesday-4/2

Chele, thanks for the start. I like PB toast with a banana, but have never put the banana on a sandwich. I've never been a big fan of jelly for some reason. Pretty rose in your avatar. Is that from your garden?

Karen, I had dinner with DM and the aunt from PA last night and we had a lot of laughs. Sounds like everything went great on the trip and they really enjoyed NO. Glad you had a good time with your friends.

Linda, hope Micki is doing better.

Becky, did you get a freeze? Our so called cold front is coming through, but the the temps won't drop by much. Highs in the 70s for a day or two though, so I'll take it. I didn't get the email from WW with the extra $10 off, so I guess I must've taken the bait too quickly!

Liz, hope the work week is going okay.

Thanks for the start, Chele. Pretty rose! When I accompany my PB with anything, it's usually elderberry jam from the apple orchard. What's on your agenda for the day? It's a shame you can't import the family olive oil for personal use. Does Iggy every bring back some in a suitcase when he visits his family? After having the fresh stuff, I think it would be difficult for me to settle for the super market stuff we can get in this country.

Kathy, where in PA does your aunt live? I grew up in and near Pittsburgh. It's great that they had such a fabulous time on the NO trip. I wonder how many other people besides you and Becky jumped at the WW offer and now wish they had waited a couple of days.

How's your boy, Linda? Did you figure out why he was throwing up? Most of the time when one of mine did that, they were going from both ends. Were you giving him the Royal Canin or were you waiting on that? His little system is probably quite empty, so I'm glad he seems to have his appetite back. Good luck with the orthotics. I hope they help your knee. I blame the ones I had 20 years ago for the foot problems that led to my surgeries.

Becky, how cold was your weather this morning? Does Scooter prefer to be in or out these days when it's cooler?

Is your weather moderating any, Liz? How is Zoe's tail these days? Do you have appointments yet for your blood work and the rheumatologist?

We have a cool, rainy morning here but I hope the rain will move on. I went to AF and then Aldi and this afternoon will be laundry and some work on the newsletter. Still waiting for a number of things. Dale wants to cut down a few small trees later this afternoon to give us a little more lake view. It's on a slope so I hope the rain won't make it slick for him.

Chele, it's great that you can get bonafide Lebanese olive oil. And, how wonderful that it's cheaper that the grocery store stuff. How did the "Italian" bread do in the Zo? I didn't renew AARP when it expired because of all the junk mail. I think some of the charities also sell address lists to increase revenue. DFIL has been gone 8+ years and we still occasionally get mail in his name and more frequently for DMIL who has been gone 5+ years. So I guess, based on your comment with your DM, we still have a few years for both of them. We had to use our address as forwarding after she died, but she was still in the house where Dale grew up when DFIL died, so his address was never our address. Rant away!! I'm right there with you! I think Dale plans to use a manual saw, but it still worries me to have him on a steep slope with any kind of sharp tool. The trees are somewhat small, so it shouldn't take long, even with a manual saw.

Our rain seems to have moved on but we still have a dreary day and if it wasn't 1/2 hour from Arya's dinner time, I might try to take a nap. It's one of those kind of days.
