What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Good morning Menuers. Boy is it cold this morning. I thought yesterday was cold, but nope today is worse. I can't wait until Spring.

Finished making my second batch of Kimchi. I swear this stuff helps balance my gut when I take it regularly. I only eat a couple of spoons of it before bedtime and the next day never feel bloated if I happen to eat something I shouldn't have.

Other than that not much going on. We have a corporate safety performance audit going on this week and next Tuesday we have a scheduled waterwash for the other boiler at work and then the rest of the month should be quiet at work. I do have to look through my seed catalogs to see what I want to order for this year.

QOTD: Who here does arts and craft things? When I have time I will knit/crochet or embroider just for fun, but recently I started one of those diamond painting things. It is a picture of a beehive. I can believe how easy it is. I started it a week ago and I'm about half done with it.

B: 2 eggs with spinach and cheese

L: 1 cup seafood salad with small toss salad

D: 1 pork chop with brussel sprouts

S: celery and cucumbers

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

I have never had kimchi. I lover sauerkraut so think I will also love kimchi. I just added it to my grocery order for this week. I have not done any crafts in probably 40 years. I used to do paint by number paintings and holiday decorations. Then life and work caught up with me and I never took time to do things like that. Now I am completely retired and looking for ideas to spend time. I think a trip to a hobby store is long overdue.

I googled diamond painting and it looks beautiful. I am going to give it a try. Thanks for mentioning it.

If you like sauerkraut I think you would like the kimchi also. Some can be a little spicy at first bite, but nothing hot or anything like that.

The diamond painting is so much fun and you can get different types of them. Some are flat that you can frame afterwards and others are kind of almost 3D types that you put the little "diamonds" into. A co-worker made me a big honeybee one that I have hanging on my kitchen wall.

Good morning, everybody!

Boy, everyone is back to work today. The traffic was bad and for the first time since pre-COVID, I almost had to leave my car keys with the lot attendant and double parked. I almost always WFH on Wednesday, but we have a meeting today.

I drove in because I had swimming this morning. First day back after two weeks off for the holidays. I definitely felt a little rusty and my stroke wasn't as good.

Marilyn took a quick trip to Alabama to check on my youngest's apartment and car. She will be home at dinner time. I have CrossFit this evening and we will watch the Chicago shows.

QOTD: Not that often. I would like to learn to tie flies.

Breakfast: bagel

Lunch: Catered

Dinner: meatballs and spaghetti

Have a great day, all!

Morning gang. It's really cold here, but there isn't a cloud in the sky. I mind the cold less if it isn't also gray and dreary. Other than that, nothing is really going on. Nice and quiet.

I'm a little surprised, when I stop to think about it, by how much time folks put into food prep. Every once in a great while I will bake something. But as far as meals go, I think I average about a minute per meal doing actual work. I'm really simple. Or so I've been told.

QOTD: I do all sorts of crafts and things. I love working with my hands, and my head. I love figuring out all the little problems, shortcuts, and history of things. There's very little I wouldn't be interested in trying. Which feels odd, because it's exactly the opposite of how I eat.

Good afternoon, Jenniefer and Menuers,

The weather here is not letting up. It has been in the 20's and we have 8-10 inches of snow on the ground. It fell within the last week. Usually about 2 inches per day. Rudy is not a huge fan. He is good walking in the yard, but the salt really must hurt his little paws. It is now a whole ordeal to get him out for a bathroom break. I am with you Jen; Spring cannot come soon enough.

QOTD: That I leave up to Ron. I am a more in the kitchen person. I made chicken noodle soup and beef vegetable with noodles the last couple days and made the egg noodles from scratch. The broth came from bones.

Accountability: Not so good. I was hungry from my fast so I did eat more than I should have.

TSS: 7 years 0-months 28-days 166.8 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

MS: Friendly farms super zero vanilla Greek yogurt and snack select

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

L: crack chicken with Arkansas Green Beans and strawberries and blueberries

D: pork and sauerkraut

Have a great day my friends.

Brightest blessings

I've known folks to soak pet paws in water and Epsom salts to help with the salt burn.

I am so sorry about the salt burning his little paws. I know that some people have shoes or boots for their pets. Maybe that would help but depends on whether he would wear them.

Good Morning! It's been a quick week so far and today seems to be about the same. Several fires here in CA but none are too close to us but still scary.

QOTD: I like to crochet too but I'm slow so it takes a long time make anything and I can't use a pattern.
