Wow... it's actually nice here in FL. Lower 90s but dry air and really breezy. The morning was perfect...nice and cool! I've got salad on the menu for tonight too.. along with some sockeye salmon filets that were on sale a couple of weeks ago and are thawing out. Water... yeah, just one of those things you gotta do. I'm fine with tap water...we keep a pitcher in the fridge. The only time I buy bottled water is if we're going on a road trip or right before hurricane season. Which I just realized is now... guess what I'm adding to the grocery list?

I lived in Maryland for the last round 17 years ago. My younger son was two and thought they were fun to catch and he wanted to play with the empty husks... I agree with you though... yuck! They can do some pretty serious damage to trees and yes they are freaking big ,ugly and loud. Happy Friday everyone! (On a positive note...I got into a pair of jeans today that had been too tight, fits perfect now so I'm happy!)

I guess this just isn't my night. I had a nice long walk with the dogs, came back looking forward to cutting up the cantaloupe and watermelon so I could sit down and relax with a nice bowl. Tendonitis makes cutting up fruit, umm, challenging. It's really hard to hang on to something that's juicy. It takes me twice as long as it used to. Got the cantaloupe done (of course sampling several chunks to make sure it was good) then onto the watermelon..... Bitter tears of disappointment. I only cut one piece and damned if it wasn't the blandeset most tasteless piece if fruit I have ever had. I didn't know it was possible for watermelon to have NO taste. Chucked it in the freezer to out with the trash and scooped up a bowl of cantaloupe. *sigh*

Trust me...the bugs here....*shudders* If anyone ever tells you that "they're just Palmetto bugs" RUN! Turn tail and run. They're giant roaches. That fly. 😱
-
It's the tendonitis... makes my hand unsteady. Yup, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! 😊 (But seriously.. do these things fly??)

My mother-in-law does that too and her lasagna is really good. I made quinoa tonight and threw in some seasoning and diced tomatoes to go along with some stuffed flounder. That stuff is just as bad as chia and flax seeds. If someone could explain how it ended up in my hair.. . I'd love to know. I do know how to use utensils....lol

I'm not a fan of cottage cheese either. I checked my Noom app and cottage cheese is a yellow food (moderate portions) while Greek yogurt is a green food.(best choice) Finally something that I like is the better choice for me!

I'm still amazed at some people's ineptitude. The previous manager sent specs in for one of the empty lots and she placed the driveway on the wrong side of the lot! Of course it didn't get caught until the construction supervisor came to measure and stake out where the house will be dropped. (in 3 weeks) Previous manager was supposed to have the floor plan reversed so the existing driveway could be used. Now it's adding $3500 PLUS the cost of pouring a new driveway. SMH... Seriously....how could you not notice a freaking driveway is on the wrong side??? Other than than it's been a quiet day so far. One more week. Just one. I need to get through the next 7 days. 168-ish hours. ✈

Probably. Maybe? 🤔 My Amish market has a whole section of spices, seeds and different flours. They're similar to sunflower seeds so that's where'd I look.

They're shelled hemp seeds. I've seen them occasionally, but never bought them before.

My dad bought a new Monte Carlo SS in 1976 for a cross country trip with my mom. It had an 8 track too. He had that boat of a car until they moved here in 2007. I think the thing only had 50,000 miles on it when he sold it. It was a church and Sunday drive car.
-
Can this be done in a bread machine? I'm not sure if I've seen hemp hearts anywhere around here. I have flax seeds and sunflower seeds though....🤔
-
🙋♀️ Love 60s and 70s rock! Brings back memories...my brothers used to play stuff like this all the time... on 8 track players 🤭😆

It's more like Carry On My Wayward Son😋

@Wayne Gray Same playlist.... tonight's ride home shuffle included; Train, fun, Kansas,, Pentatonix, Def Leppard and Daughtry. You still on board for the ride? 🤣

I keep randomly laughing today because I had to click on the link for how to pronounce jicama. Now this lady's voice pops into my head out of the blue...hee-cuh-muh 😆🤭😂🤭🤣 aaaaaannnndddd I'm laughing again!

Good morning y'all! I'm having trouble starting my engine this morning. Coffee didn't help. Been trying to move around some more to keep me awake. Sitting at a desk all day is not good so I've made it a habit to get up and walk around for a few minutes every hour or so. Plus I take the long route to the restroom. I'm also trying to take the really long route when I walk the dogs. That'll get hard to do once the full summer heat and humidity kicks in. Camden gets worn out quickly when it's hot even though we go after sunset. Hope everyone has a good day!

Then listen to it often! Writing is good for the soul. We need a Wayne story soon! I just finished up a story, all it needs is some final touches. I've also finished rereading one that I started and set aside. The characters have been nagging at my brain lately. That'll be my next project...delving into the paranormal world. It's fun not having to stick to human limitations.
-
You have piqued my interest. I think I've seen this at the Amish market. I'll have to look for it next time I go. Thanks molly!

Luckily the writing is done. Just some tweaking to the remaining chapters....and the final edits..lol! MrsG did an amazing job revamping these last two chapters. The original version had a few rough edges that needed smoothing. Such is the burden of a writer!

My playlists are all over the place. Classic rock is my ultimate fave. The only genres I can't tolerate are rap and hip hop. Classical, blues, R&B, hard rock, hair bands, pop(limited), soft rock, indie, gospel (I may not be religious, but damn them Southern Baptists can belt out a tune!)...you name it and I'll listen. Country is okay....not on any of my playlists, but I'll listen if I'm in someone else's car. So yeah...whiplash is possible when cruising with me on a road trip!🤪

I can definitely vouch for the "better than before"!

Still nope on the peppers. Carrots I can eat until I turn orange. I found some pre-cut already bagged (four 6oz bags) for $1.99 at the store when I got the fruit. Great snack for work. Veggie Tales Gone Wild!!🤣🤣 Playlist shuffle on the way home hit John Cougar (when he was just John Cougar), Aerosmith, Lord Huron, Alicia Keys, Queen and a little CCR. For tonight's dinner I'm sautéing asparagus in olive oil and this amazing seasoning I picked up at Aldi (I think). It's a spicy sundried tomato. Not salty and has a nice little kick. I thawed out some turkey meatballs that were in the freezer and I've got whole wheat pasta cooking. I'll add that to the asparagus and meatballs, add a little more oil and dinner is done. Not a single bell pepper in sight!

There's not much in the fruit department that I don't care for. Not a big fan of blueberries unless they're in something like pancakes. Veggies however are a roadblock I'm learning to deal with. Roasting them usually does the trick. Bell peppers are an absolute hard NO for me. Mushrooms are a close second, but if my life depended on eating a serving of mushrooms I could do it. If it depended on me eating a serving of bell peppers...well it would make for an interesting obituary. 🤭😆

Wow...I was craving fruit before lunch time so I took a quick trip out to the grocery store. Paid too much for pre-cut fruit, but day-ummm that was mighty good watermelon and pineapple! I have enough for tomorrow too and by then the cantaloupe I have at home should be ripe.
