I have to be careful because I have Keytruda treatments. I'd say up to Niagara-on-the-Lake for a week or so.

When I had my roots done, I was going in every 3-4 weeks for roots. Every other time, I'd have a quick trim. When I was in the process of letting my hair grow out of all color during the pandemic, I went about 3 or 4 months between trims. I was so glad to get the rest of the colored hair cut and...

Delmonicos on the grill, crock pot beans, potato salad. Ice cream sandwiches for a bit of dessert.

At one time (back in the 20teens...not sure of what exact year), Tramontina was considered a Best Buy from America's Test Kitchen. I got the set from Target for around $150. It is still amazing for me to use. This is tri-ply clad. I got the large fry pan and a smaller fry pan, the Dutch oven...

Another storm last night and it's very foggy out this morning. We were going to try to finish Northern Exposure, but both of us ended up falling asleep. Rick awakened long enough to give the cats their late bedtime snack, start the dishwasher, and come to bed. I slept until around midnight, then...

Happy Weekend! What is your favorite bread? Do you like white bread, whole wheat, multi-grain? We prefer multi-grain. But since I've been dealing with kidney issues, my nephologist prefers just plain old white bread. Bleah. We like Nature's Own Perfectly Crafted Multi-Grain. What about you? I...

Got my cookies baked yesterday. Rick is happily munching. We also received the cat litter box from Chewy for the living room. It looks a little nicer than a regular box. Rick put it together last night. Mollipop, of course!, was the first cat to use the box. We used a bit of Cat Attract litter...

That bad storm that hit us yesterday morning? Well, it destroyed a couple trees in our friend's (Bob) yard. He sent me pictures. It was way worse there (about ten miles west of us) than here. Fortunately, today is blue sky and lots of sun. Breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher, made...

A. Clothing - I don't go by color, more by what I like. Now that my hair is grey/white, I can go with most any color. B. Shoes - I think blue or grey, but I have a gorgeous pair of reddish-plum colored boots that I love to wear in the winter. And I have a pair of Brooks that is grey with purple...

@lizzie Well, I was wrong. It's not soaking the raw potato, rather it's double boiling the potato. From Is It Possible to Include Potato in the Diet of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients? New Culinary Alternatives for Limiting Potassium Content - PubMed "Results show that potato soaking was...

Oh yum, @lizzie, that sounds wonderful! I read that you can reduce the potassium in potatoes quite a bit by soaking them in cold water for an hour or so, rinsing well, then cooking. I’m going to read a little more; if I think it might be ok, I’m making potato salad on Monday.

We had mac and cheese tonight, the way my mom made it, without cooking the pasta prior to baking. It was so good. Rick likes my mac and cheese more, but this was fine.

I do the meat first, then about 30-45 minutes before the meat is done, I throw in veggies like chunked potatoes and carrots. Veggies like corn, peas, mushrooms go in about 15 minutes prior to the meat and larger veggies are done. Also, (and you don't have to do this) I place a piece of parchment...

We had a bad storm roll in this morning. Rick said it came from the southwest, going northeast. There was definitely rotation, just the way the wind was blowing. Lots of thunder and lightning and even hail. Right around 6:00 or so. Me? I slept through the whole thing. He finally woke me up...

Thanks much, @NY cat man. I'll be on the lookout for them. We're always interested in new perennials. I showed your picture to Rick and he liked it as well. I'll make sure he knows to wear gloves for them.

@Lennybells Nice cake and cupcakes! I looked at the recipe for the vanilla frosting. You know, if you add peanut butter instead of butter, you'd get a very good peanut butter frosting, too.

I took two chicken breasts out of the freezer last night to thaw in the fridge. Not quite sure what I want to do with them, but thinking about using a balsamic glaze and grilling them outside. We are supposed to get t-storms this afternoon, so I may end up using the NFG.

Well, I went to bed last night. But I've been awake all night. I saw the clock hit every hour and, when the girls started in at 5:30, I just got up, got dressed, and here I am. I'll probably crash at some point this morning. I also cleaned up after Molli in the hallway around 4:00. There was...

Oh wow, @MoochNNoodles That was one long root! I like your shed. @NY cat man Would you tell me a little bit about your Amsonia? Is it a small shrub? Did you plant from seed? Is it an annual or perennial? It's really pretty. Thank you. The two end azaleas are really fall-bloomers. But the...

We stopped at Subway for subs.
