Taste Like Chicken WE 11/14 & 15

We got dressed and drove to YS and realized we didn’t really “need” any veggies. We needed to get out of the house, so we drove to Starbuck’s and picked up some hot tea and a breakfast sandwich and headed home. We had a nice drive both ways though. It was a pretty sunrise.

Iggy is planning on grilling later today when it warms up. Our high is supposed to be around 50°. We have his chicken and eggplant, zucchini, onions and tomatoes to go on the grill.

Have a great day. BBL. The chef is bellowing.

Thanks for the start Chele.It sounds like you had a nice outing even if you didn't need any veggies.50 degrees doesn't sound like a warmup to me.We have a cool front coming in tomorrow and our low will be in the 50's.

Linda Sorry your electric blanket went out.I haven't had one in years.I use a quilt on the recliner when I get too cold.I looked at that link and there's no way I would pay $200 a pair for those slippers.I'm glad your car is quieter anyway.Your tree is pretty.I miss being able to put one up.I can see one being wrecked by both cats.

Karen I was reading a headline on my news feed on my phone and it said despite TX having so many cases no plans to do anything about it.I had not heard about that conspiracy theory.That is so stupid.The IT band is loosening some in the thigh area but is tighter below the side of the knee.I hope Arya isn't hurting.I cannot keep a cone on Scooter. I bought a small bed at WM today that can be used for a small puppy or cat.I figured the cats would fight over it.At first neither one paid any attention to it but Marcy has decided it is hers.I finally put it on the floor in front of Marcy's cardboard box and now she loves it.

Linda, I hope the car remains humming along silently. That happened tk me when I first got the Terrain. I heard this clunk in the back when I started the car. Took it in and they said “No clunk here.” Miraculously, it went away. I suspect they fixed something and just didn’t want to tell me what. Sorry about your electric blanket. I cannot relate as I sleep with a throw blanket in the winter so my feet can stick out and I don’t overheat. Nice tree. I also put up a tiny tree bit the lights go on the mantel. I tie a piece of ribbon into a bow for the tree topper. Love, love those slippers. 

Karen, Starbucks has a spinach and feta sandwich that is pretty good. They don’t carry the Dragon yellow tea I loved, so I had to settle for white tea. My BIL used to work in Honduras. He loved it. Glad your friend got out safely. I didn’t know you could freeze eggs in the shell. Oh, poor, Arya. That sounds painful. How is she doing today?

Yikes, Kathy. 86% is high humidity indeed. We reached 53° for a high yesterday and it only cooled off to 50° overnight, so it is a bit warmer this morning and will be in upper 50s. It is rainy and windy today. I buy the 18 pack all the time because it is a lot cheaper. They do last a few weeks.

Becky, I hope the cooler temps don’t aggravate your knees even more. I hope Marcie is enjoying her new bed.

Liz, I hope you have been able to get some rest despite having to get up with Zoe.  How are the B12 shots going? Have you seen the chef lately? How is DSM amd the rest of the family doing?

Denise, what have you been up to this weekend?

It is laundry day here. Nuff said. Have a great Sunday.

Kathy, I hate that you and DM did not get to go to the funeral. I guess you had a split day on the gridiron. cCongrats to UFC and sorry about FSU. Michigan was the disaster I thought it would be. They didn't even score until the 3rd quarter, and that was the only quarter they scored in. Interceptions on the first 2 offensive possessions really put the Blue into a hole. Been that way all season. Any wildlife activity on the pond or in the 'hood lately?

Those slippers are cute, Linda, but Arya steps on my feet frequently enough that I don't need to wear replicas of her on them. The "donut of shame" is actually one of the rings you described. She has never had to deal with it but, as much as she hates anything different, I don't imagine she would be fond of it. She doesn't seem to be in pain from her boo-boo. Really odd on the car. But how many times do we take them in and it's no longer making the noise? I think it's happened to all of us. I hope you never hear the noise again. You're right about things not being made as well today as they once were. Everything is disposable and our landfills are bursting at the seams. Congrats on the isopropyl alcohol score. Two large bottles should last you a while. I hadn't seen the Dove hand sanitizer. I'm allergic to something in their soap, but the extra moisturizer would be really nice. I went a couple of months without being able to use alcohol-based sanitizer, so now that I can again, I usually put on moisturizer after I sanitize. It would be nice to be able to do both in the same step. I'm rather curious about the concept in "Pottering" about "spontaneously doing a small household task because you feel like it at the moment". I never feel like doing any household task spontaneously. Quite the opposite😁. Sorry about the 🎄 topper. Tree looks nice. Guess the short cord needed assistance from the cord you had attached to the electric blanket that is no longer fully functional. Good luck at the doc tomorrow.

Chele, I don't think you can freeze 🥚 in their shells. Most of what I have seen about freezing whole eggs is to oil ice cube trays and break a whole egg into the sections of the trays. The spinach/feta sandwich sounds good. What kind of bread/bun do they put it on? Are you expecting a cold front with that wind and rain you are supposed to get today? We have a front moving through and have had 30+mph winds and rain squalls moving through over the last couple of hours. We started out in the 60s and it has dropped about 10 degrees so far, toward our morning low in the 30s. Looks like a snow sky right now, but it's too warm. Laundry on the agenda here as well. Workout clothes are the usual Sunday thing, but Dale is unpacking boxes downstairs (it's only taken him nearly 5 years to get his stuff unpacked and on shelves😏) and we used a lot of sweats as packing material. They are in the washer and, with temps turning cooler, we may need them. Some of what we have been wearing is about worn out, so it will be nice to have ones that are in better shape without having to buy more.

Yay on Marcy choosing the new bed instead of the cardboard box, Becky. Has KK taken up with the new bed yet? I would love to get something like that for Arya, but she seems to have no interest in those kinds of things and, in fact, runs the other way when I get out one of the cushions that Phoebe loved. The IT Band seems to be making a little progress. It's a long structure, so it can take a while to get the entire thing back to its happy place. There are times when Arya snuggles up to the part below my left knee and just that little bit of pressure can be very painful. I think Arya's wound is hurting me more than her. I was really careful taking off her Martingale collar before bed (it slips off over her ears and head). It seems to be just about healed except for the missing fur. I wish I healed so quickly.

How are your weekends going, Liz and Denise?

Our girl let us sleep until almost 7 this morning. I've done a few lectures from the Mother Earth News Fair in addition to the laundry. I'm making a pear cobbler with some of the fruit we got in our Misfits Market box. Dale is fixing some of his veggies from the box right now. I have Salsarita's leftovers for dinner and will probably do some roasted golden beets and will also be trying a roasted red cabbage recipe this week.
