Still having internet issues so no promises on this post, but going for it anyway. And how's YOUR day going? I so almost all my shopping online. For clothing, for garden supplies, for critter food, for my food, for household supplies, all of it is ordered online. I have had some troubles with that of course, often getting a message telling me that an item is unavailable or finding out it has a ginormous shipping charge attached to it. The problem with ordering clothing online

"I'd tell you a memory loss joke, but I keep drawing a blank." I forgot a meal on the menu list that I posted for this week. So I am adding it here. It's: Homepot Chili I still haven't decided if I will walk to the fruit stand and buy a couple of sweet potatoes, which I did not receive with my grocery order that was delivered this morning. It's hard to make Sweet Potato Pizza without them. I may rig up something else instead, but the idea of using sweet potatoes was to includ

I am still making up recipes for this week. And I have one that I think will surprise you. Here's the menu list: Black Bean Burgers with the fixin's and potatoes. That Arugula Salad with this week' fish, Salmon Sweet Potato Pizza Pasta Tamahtah I am gradually getting back on schedule. Another week I think and I will have that accomplished. I am working on other projects as I go. Not going to say exactly what they are at this time. Maybe later. What's that you say? What is

I have a bunch of those little OUI jars done and I think they are just so cute. You cannot microwave them unfortunately, but they are good for everything else. Anywho, I am making up recipes again. This time I am attempting to incorporate super foods into every single day of the week so I am grabbing those super foods that sound tasty to me and adding them up together and trying to come up with a complete 'dish'. I started with this: A salad made with Arugula (Rocket) as the

I memorized my social security number. I memorized my own phone number. I memorized my home address and zip code. I memorized my car's license plate number. I did not memorize my bank account number. I did not memorize my driver's license number. I did not memorize my paypal number. There sure is a lot more things I did not commit to memory than things I did. I am not sure anymore what I should train my brain to recall on demand. There's all these phone numbers - I use an add

Wanna hear two short jokes and a long joke? Joke, joke, joooooooooooooke. This week's menus: Orange Chicken with Brown Rice Pasta Tamahtah Corn Fish Chowder and Pitas French Toast and Fakon Bacon (Tofu made to taste like bacon) Chicken Taco Soup and Salad It annoys me when I receive a web address from a recognized establishment purported to be a free website with access to FREE stuff. (I use that word 'stuff' a lot I guess). So I get this flyer from my state pension outfit

What building in New York has the most stories? The public library. No really, I am still surprised by the idea that I eat hippy-dippy foods. Things like: eggplant, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, arugula (rocket), raw spinach, yogurt, cabbage, turnips, and radishes. It also surprises me that I eat like I came from Japan, stuffing myself with things like: tofu and brown rice. I haven't even started on things like beans, barley and steel cut oats. You have to understand

Yes, I suppose it really is. It just seems like it's too soon because 1. I got off schedule and order groceries on Tuesdays lately instead of Thursdays and 2. Because I did not post last week's menus until late in the week. (Thanks for the reminder Josie). So now I am trying to figure out this issue. My current plan (and it's subject to change without notice) is to do a half order for Tuesday morning and another half order (the other half) on Thursday morning. This because I

Ever have one of those days? Well, I'm having one of those mornings. Hopefully it will only be the morning part of the day. I am grouchy, irritable, grumpy. I am angry with myself. I did stupid stuff. Doing stupid stuff is not a new thing with me, so I know I will get over it. Eventually. It's the getting from here to there that can be a struggle. I have had it with myself. LOL. I know how ludicrous that sounds, but that pretty much sums it up. I have shortcomings. Doesn't e

I am wondering if stuff can actually leak out of your brain. Not actual brain matter. Not physical material. Information type stuff. My mind is so full of 'stuff', ideas, thoughts, dreams, things, and lists, that I have started to forget other things. So I am wondering if I have hit capacity and in order to continue entertaining all the notions in my brain, it starts dumping 'stuff' out the other side. I have mental lists of things I want to do. And it's not just chores or pr

It’s always windy in a sports arena. All those fans. Yup, as you know because I have said so many times, Monday is kitchen day. I clean the kitchen on Mondays and I always start early on that. I clean as I go. If I use the microwave then I clean it. If I use the counter top I clean it. If I use a glass I clean it. etc. But this Monday I have other stuff I want to get to. First, I need to sew. I have not lost any weight (sad face) but my body has changed shape and this means

Is this a fish made out of tin? A decoration? A Yard Thing? I heard this expression on a news cast the other morning that was talking about what I thought was health. (?) So I perked up and started paying attention but I guess I had missed the pertinent stuff already. This led me to have to do a web-search. The answer was quick and concise: Tin fish refers to seafood that is preserved and packaged in metal cans, commonly including varieties like tuna, sardines, and mackerel.

I think I mentioned (no, I know I did) that I somehow got way off schedule again. In order to get back to my chart I need to go one step at a time so I do not get overwhelmed. So I am doing double duty to try to move in that direction. Normally I clean the upstairs bathroom, and spot clean the upstairs on Tuesdays, but in order to make up for not doing that yesterday, I had to do that this morning. I will still need to do all the stuff I usually do on Wednesdays. Which is a b

It's a little frustrating when you plan a week's worth of meals and order groceries specifically for those meals and then get a text message telling you an item is unavailable and that item is essential to one of your meals. Example: One of the meals planned for this week is 7-layer Nachos. The base for this meal are the 'lightly salted' tortilla chips. It was this item that was 'unavailable'. Argggggg. Well, anywho, here is this week's dinners menu: Thai Peanut Chicken Cass

I have some of the most delightful dreams sometimes. (I have some of the others, too, of course). I dream about riding a Unicorn through a field of wildflowers. I dream about riding a Pegasus through fluffy clouds of cotton candy. I dream of transforming from my current self into a flowing being of light, of energy, of rainbows. Then I swirl and twirl like a gentle tornado from place to place leaving a trail of sparkly, glittery, happy dust in my wake. I call those my "Light"

The weather is all over the place here where Iive. 80 degrees (F) in March? Yes, it did that. Then turns around and decides it should drop to near freezing at night. Right now it's only 33 degrees (F). No, really. I tried to be smart and not stick sensitive things in the ground yet or in my bucket garden dirt. I did plant pea seeds and carrot seeds, but then, they rather like having a bit of cool before their season starts. I did plant gladiola bulbs. Bulbs have to have time

I have no explanation as to why I am making up recipes recently when I have plenty of recipes for plenty of dishes of all kinds. Just some weird urge to try different things I think. I am guessing it has something to do with Spring. You know how you want to spruce things up in the house, maybe do some spring-cleaning when the nicer weather hits? Maybe that is caused by the rays of sunshine coming in the windows and lighting up all the dust on things you couldn't see before.

First, here's the recipe. (I hate those recipe blogs where they have tons of pics and go on and on about the ordeal of cooking it first and save the actual recipe for way down the page after many scrolling's, so not doing that here.) Ingredients: 2 TB EVOO [Extra Virgin Olive Oil] 1 can White Meat Chicken, not drained (12.5 oz can) 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 3/4 tsp coriander 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp rosemary 2 cans white beans, (15.

When you graduate high school, you might be thinking to yourself, now I can move into my own place and start 'adulting'. Maybe you have waited until you have graduated college. Maybe you just feel like you are ready to 'get out there' on your own. Here's a checklist for you to use to determine if you are really ready for that. Moving Out Readiness Checklist (Ages 18–19 +) Financial Readiness Do I have a steady, reliable source of income? Can I cover rent + utilities + food +
