What's on Your Tuesday Menu

Happy Election Day. I have pretty much ignored the election this year. I decided I needed to concentrate on my health and ignore the news. It has been interesting to watch people and just not feel involved. I voted early and it will be interesting to watch as a spectator and not emotional mess.

It is another beautiful day in the 70's again. If it were ten years ago it would have been a day of cleaning up leaves. Now the lawn guys will do that. The meme reminds me of a day I was visiting a friend. Her lawn guys were there and she always bought them fresh donuts. She decided to give them a healthy treat and roasted kale. They were not thrilled when she bought it out to them.

I have been underweight all summer but somehow found six pounds in the last week. I needed it and not so dehydrated. The water fills in the wrinkles.

No menu plan for today. I will heat apple cider with a cinnamon stick and have it with a cake donut. My favorite fall treat.

QUOD: When was the last time you climbed a tree?

I was 42 and had a kitten that kept running outside and climbing a tree. She was afraid to come back down and would cry for help. I started climbing the tree and bringing her back down. I developed a terrible pain in my leg and ended up going to a doctor.

He said I was doing something that was stressing my leg muscles, I was too embarrassed to tell him I had been climbing a tree. I made sure the kitten stayed inside and my leg healed up.

Good Morning! Thanks for starting the thread. Your Fall treat sounds perfect, enjoy. Thinking of Sheila as she works the polls today. I'll be too busy today to follow much with how the election is going but that's fine with me since we might not know the outcome today.

QOTD: I would have been 30 or 31 and it was barely a climb but Emily wanted to do it when she was little.
