What's on your Tuesday menu RNYers?

I am so glad that your dad is doing okay. **hugs**

it's so stressful when family members are sick!!! I hope he's OK. Please keep us posted!!

Sending thoughts and prayers.

QOTD: yes, and no. the control freak part of me does not like them. What if I don't like the surprise? Control your facial expressions and act happy. But yes, in general I LOVE surprises. For christmas my husband got me 2 things he thought I needed, one was a set of those kitchen mats that are memory foam since I like to bake and cook, second was a table that hooked on to an end table to put my laptop. it was pretty neat. Teena, my sister would take the scissors to the gifts, carefully unwrap, then tape back precisely. We would also search the house for gifts, they were usually in my mom's closet.

not much to report today. yesterday I did some gardening after work, cooked dinner (I made shrimp/kale burgers, DH had shrimp and cheese grits). After that I did a bit more gardening, walked the dogs a bunch. One of our dogs cant go down stairs so he has to be carried 2 flights each time, but can come up by himself. The garden is shaping up, yesterday I stirred up the compost bin and put it in the raised gardens. Man was it stinky. Then I was able to get the carrots, swiss chard, radish, lettuce and mustard greens in the one raised garden. Maybe today I can plant some of the others. Actually need to run to the feed store and get some collards, spinach seeds. yesterday was also a record breaking chicken laying day- 9! so excited about that. OH- i made keto /lo carb sweet pot muffins last night- found on pintrest. Made with splenda, almond flour/gluten free flour, baking powder, sweet pot, nut butter, vanilla. Ended up not being bad stat wise.

Eats for today:

HB egg whites

coffee

more coffee

gelatin concoction

i think dinner will be breakfast (CB hash /eggs for DH, either eggs or prot pancakes for me)

yogurt

This is exactly what I would do with the presents! And somehow I have amazing kids that would never dream of peeking! And they know my stories. I could unlock every lock my parents ever had on their bedroom door.

Good morning Teena D and menu OHer's

Rainy day here....the plants and grasses are thankful. I see my knee surgeon on Thursday. I still have a long way to go to get that knee to bend normally but I'll get there! Slow and steady.

QOTD - nope I do not like surprises...not surprise parties anyway..I love surprise gifts, kind gestures, an unexpected kind remark from someone but a surprise party or surprise guests...not so much...so I'm not sure if it is a control issue or what!?

Coffee, cream, fiber, pp

B hb egg, 1 bacon

L 1 tuna pattie

D 1 tuna Pattie, 2TB plain Greek yogurt

Have a great day everyone

Good morning all!! Glad you had a great birthday Teena.. Right now I'm sitting in my doctors office waiting for my 18 month check up. Then off to work. I am leaving work early today we are going out to dinner to celebrate our 25 wedding anniversary. Seems hard to believe 25 years already.

QOTD: I hate surprises! Hopefully tonight when I walk into dinner I can act surprised because I found out my dad by himself has planned a surprise 25th Anniversary family dinner for us. Now this is a big deal because he knows I hate surprises and my mom was always the planner she planned my whole wedding because I did not want a big wedding she did. I wanted to elope. So for him to do this I know is hard....

Food for the day:

B: Hard boiled egg white and bacon

L: ham and cheese

D no clue but it will be yummy I'm sure..

here is a small collection of pictures

Happy, Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary!!!

I hope you have a wonderful time and congratulations on your 25th anniversary!

Congrats on your 25th anniversary. I love the pictures!!
