Not sure i have the strength for new strength. Though @Wayne Gray says doing squats will bring new something to my life.  Right now, I am at the thinking-about-doing-squats stage of my squat-doing. I told him i may be able to do like 3 a day.  Ever the optimist, he said, "Oh yeah, start with three and just add one a day."   Not sure about that! I'm sure three a day is enough.  lol

Start with chair squats. Those are the only ones my knees allow me to do. It's amazing the crunchy crackling sounds joints can make. It would be an awesome backing track to a pop song. Lol

I just want to know who keeps dumping rice crispies into my bed. I roll over and crunch.

k, i want to call Morgan Stanley tomorrow and complain.  i called today looking for the cheque i spoke to them about on Dec 27th.  The person i spoke to said, (after a five minute hold.. i sure she went to make a coffee, not look into my issue) oh that cheque was just mailed yesterday. It takes about 10 business days for us to prepare and send those cheques.  FINE.. okay.  Goodbye..

So, i sent an email to my financial advisor at the branch and told them to please watch out for the cheque. If there's any issues please call me.

Imagine my fecking surprise when my F.A. called me at 4:55 TODAY telling me the cheque just arrived.

Holy lie-to-my-face Batman.  Wow.  I hate that shit.  I could have dealt with .. we mailed that on Jan 4th and it should be at the branch soon.   Just wow.

now.. my tacos turned out nice.. i made corn tortillas today.. we had them for dinner filled with pork, avocado, cheese and salsa.  All stomachs are happy.

Since we are talking food again ( who us? We don't do that!) We had what my hubby has taken to calling smashed cabbages. Instead of spending hours par boiling  and rolling stuffed cabbages, I put a nice thick layer of shredded cabbage ( I use pre shredded Cole slaw mix) on the bottom of my crock pot, break up the ground beef I have seasoned as tho I was going to roll em and put on top of the cabbage, then cover with either tomato juice or V-8, add a dash or two of hot sauce and worstershire and cook on hi 6 hrs. 

Served up it looks like stuffed cabbage that has already been cut to ribbons for eating.

That's good!  We call it deconstructed cabbage rolls. So good!  Michael started making those when craving his mom's cabbage rolls. 

i think we'll have to make that soon. It's really delicious. Thanks for the reminder!

Yes, very true. I find I'm delighted by the simplest things now that I'm over forty.  LOL

Wait until you hit your 50's it gets more exciting 🤣🤣🤣🤣

hopefully .. i like lists because then i know what i want and i don't have to 'shop' (wander around) unless i want to. hmm, a white board may be helpful for us .. i will look into that. There's always things you run out of and i say, oh we'll need to get more and forget by the time i make to a piece of paper...lol

It doesn't matter how many list I make I always walk out without them, get to the store and my head is completely empty of what I went there for, it never fails.

Stirring the pot again, eh, Wayne!  I happen to have seen how useful it is, sadly I've not had the opportunity to use it myself as of yet!

@Kitt gave you the recipe.  You should try it.  We usually add some sauerkraut, to get that nice sour flavour.  i'm told that once upon a time whole cabbages were submerged in sauerkraut barrels and later used to make cabbage rolls. No boiling required. 

Boiling is not required if you freeze the whole cabbage and then defrost it.

This is making me cravey and hungry!

I’m a good cook. Pot-stirring is a particular speciality. 😏

A good cook also knows when NOT  to stir!

 

Mom used to chase hubby out of the kitchen after the first time he attempted to vigorously stir fresh ravioli. He broke several open in the pot, cheese everywhere!

We have a rule in my house.

 

If the kitchen is rocking, don't come knocking. No music? Visitors welcome.

I particularly love it when they're doing other stuff in the house and the moment you go into the kitchen and start pulling stuff out of cabinets..boom...they're in your way. 

You've had how long to put your coffee mug in the dishwasher? 🙄
