Whats on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

No doubt, we will. How far are you from Palm Springs?

Can't wait!

We will take good care of you!

Good morning! Still too warm and sticky over here, but I'll deal. Last night all the neighbors were over critiquing the on going house painting job. That turned into glasses of scotch for the guys, and wine for the girls. I maintained at one small glass and it didn't put me over my calorie limit by much. Maybe 50 cals. Worth it. It's a very fun group of folks and I appreciate their input on items I am not so skilled at. So my husband has a list of details to talk to the painters about this morning. If that doesn't help, then I'll contact the owner and discuss with him. I'm confident the workers will take care of the issues. After that I threw together dinner with left over pulled pork and Halloumi cheese and it was so good. I had to wrench some of it from my husband's grasp so I could have left overs.

This weekend has not much on the agenda, but we are having ****tail hour with the neighbors at their place and the grand girls tomorrow for the night. Our bikes are in the shop for maintenance, so no riding for us. I am going to see if one of the neighbors will let us use their inground pool and take them swimming tomorrow afternoon or Sunday morning.

QoTD: the car I just turned in, chocolate brown with a little bit of sparkle and it was my favorite of all my cars. The new, used car, charcoal grey, tan interior. Eh. Not excited about it but again...used so I'm dealing. Plus after 40 years of SUV's and mini vans, I really have to hunt for this sedan in a parking lot. I do like when I get near it it automatically lights up like HERE I AM! I am not accosting other peoples cars that way.

Menu:

B: hb egg, light string cheese, 4 Sonoma Creamery bacon cheese crackers

L: chicken jalapeno cranberry meatballs and bread cheese

D: I'm planning on chicken sausages, refried beans and a slaw, but it may be a charcuterie plate depending on how ****tail hour goes. One Old Fashioned and possibly one glass of red wine.

Pictures from Oceanside CA last weekend. Out with friends staying near the beach and riding bikes.

I found bread cheese at Aldi and threw it on the grill last weekend it was Smokey bacon wow so good.

So good! I grilled the halloumi last night too. I'm really into these "squeaky" low moisture, zero carb cheeses!

Cheese curds 18 seconds in the microwave squeak too. Just saying.

Good Morning JB and Menuers,

JB I am hearing you on the long week. Not just long but mentally exhausting. Yeah for Friday and the bottle of Manischewitz concord grape I plan on drinking tonight.

My brothers neighbors who have become very good friends of ours have decided to make life changing moves and are moving to Florida. He started a landscaping business near Daytona and she got a great Job as an Academic Intervention Specialist in South Daytona. She has worked as a first grade teacher for the last 20 years in a very rough school district. He went down to start the business about 6 month ago and they been flying back and fourth on weekends to be together. This has been heartbreaking since they have been together since they were in their teens , raised a son who is now 21, and are still completely in love. The plan was she would finish her PHD here and then moved down but the university is going to let her finish virtually so no reason for her to be apart from the love of her life any longer. They are in their early 40's so this will be a great change for them. Tonight will be our last Deck dinner that we have at my brothers with them. Hence the Manischewitz. I am sad and happy for them all at the same time.

QOTD: My car is Stone Mountain Gray but my last car was Electric Spice (orange) and I loved it and can not wait till car sale go back to normal because I want another orange car.

Accountability: I ate too many fajitas. I ended up eating 2 tortillas that tipped the scale up.

TSS: 3 years 7 Months 17 days:135.2 (Lowest 129.4)

B: Coffee with SF CM Chocolate Caramel creamer

MS: Premier Chocolate peanut butter Protein shake, and berries,

CB: Coffee with SF CM Chocolate Caramel creamer
