It is amazing what a difference 10 degrees make. Last week was freezing in my valley
and this week we are above 40 and will get above 50 later this week. 
After my morning exercises in the pool, I have been napping under my electric blanket. 
My nap begins with a mediation tape that seems to be keeping me pretty positive, and then when I drift off it is so warm and cozy I have a hard time prodding myself out from under the covers. 
That coffee has to give me energy for this afternoon when I pick up one of my Senior Companion clients. This afternoon my client is a 90+ year old and she is so energic, so adventurous, and fun to be with I really look forward to being with her. She is my role of what I want to be when I grow up.I am so sorry for you! I have had migraines and that is about the worst.
I love stuffed cabbage. Once of the few things I still occasionally cook.
Let me know when, and I will try to see if I can find, and bring some of those fudge cookies along for our dessert.

me. Not only am I diabetic, but I am slightly allergic to chocolate. I’ll just have the stuffed cabbage and some FRENCH macaroons 
Well, I can eat them, but I try not to -especially the chocolate-gives me a very bad stomach ache. Worth it for the once a year Sees candy, but I am starting to even not eat much of that.
Kind of you to suggest it Jules, but as Kaila rightly says, the problem is her 3 elderly beloved dogs, one of whom has dementia, so there's nowhere she can go with the dogs... However a slight glimmer of hope.. she may have found a rental for now.. fingers crossed.. It's a brand new home all recently and beautifully decorated.. and the guy who owns it and has it up for rental initially said no to my dd because she has pets., but my daughter runs an immaculate home and her dogs are highly trained and you would never know that animals live in the house.. they don't damage or scratch anything... so the owner has agreed to allow the letting agent go and inspect DD's current home , before he makes a final decision...so fingers crossed.
...but no she was insistent..it was time to leave.. and the same with the woman who'd been in front of me who'd bought half the store for her and her 2 children..they'd just sat down and opened their cakes and biscuits
This is "Un-Stuffed" cabbage . It has all of the same ingredients, but you don't roll it up in the cabbage leaves. Instead, you make meatballs....and it is cooked in chopped cabbage. I always tear the cabbage leaves, so this is easier for me. To me, it tastes just as good!
OMG your avatar is one of my favorite characters! Just seeing her makes me happy.Looking at Jan 1 price increases from our vendors. Roughly 10% bumps across the board, in some cases these are in addition to a 7% increase this past fall. Today I'm continuing with invoicing, then will move onto reworking our prices and giving our customers the bad news.
On a cheerier note, I defrosted some Beyond Meat meatballs and have started some sauce for a late lunch of spaghetti and meatballs.
Hubby is overjoyed - partly because I'm invoicing and partly because the sauce smells so yummy!
Ah ha, that sounds like what I would do when I had family. I was making cabbage rolls and one day thought it would taste just as good if I cooked it in all in one pot and didn't bother to stuff the cabbage leaves. Now I don't even do that because I am cooking for just me. Does anyone want peanut butter sandwiches?
I still roll them as I eat less meat that way, but I don’t make them very often. Plus I pour ketchup on mine. I really like ketchup.Ah ha, that sounds like what I would do when I had family.

, after testing it seems her kidney is swollen and some of the urethra is swollen as well. Terribly painful. Now she has to see a kidney specialist. And the medical bills are piling up. 
Just when it seemed she was over the hump.Thank you Palides! Good luck to you too.!@Shero, its Greek! Translations are time consuming, yes! Good luck with your translation!
Here's what I do....Ah ha, that sounds like what I would do when I had family.

Sounds really goodHere's what I do....
#1- I use about 1-1 1/2 lbs ground beef and I add whatever spices etc that I normally would. Then I form meatballs and cook them in the microwave (yep!). Once they are cooked, I divide them up into 3 storage bowls.
#2- I mix up a can of tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, etc. Then I divide that into 3 portions and add a portion to each bowl of meatballs. Freeze the bowls!
#3- When I want to make this meal, I buy a small cabbage and cut it into 1-inch pcs. I put the cabbage into my stew pot and add one (thawed) container of meatballs and juice.
#4- Simmer until cabbage is tender. Eat!
I like easy....easy to make, easy to clean up....easy to eat!
Yes, @Schero! It's a big event for us also! In Tarpon Springs, FL each year after the church services, they have a ceremony where the young teens dive for the cross in the bayou. Whoever retrieves the cross gets good luck for the year. Here is a short clip of today's event:
Lovely! It is really interesting to see how many young men took part. I love traditions.
Got my test all set up. Oh, goody.
