Yes, I have a lovely piece of land I can sell you for just a few million. (Sorry, I should have added a 😉). We rarely can even buy them at Walmart lately.

We have LOTS of bananas here. They are usually on sale. I do notice that distilled water is starting to be in short supply, again.
 

I am wondering how @Georgiagranny is doing, this week. I remember last week was very stressful at her work, and I hope this week went a little better. And that DGD is feeling better.

I watched the snowfall, out my window today. Very pretty and looked peaceful, as it stuck to all of the tree branches. Saw some wild birds, out there, too.
Made baked apples for a treat. I have the slices frozen in a freezer baggie, all peeled/cored and ready to bake.

You are so great at keeping track of everyone, and caring. Thank you for being you. 😊

Here'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! 😁

That sounds good but why make the meatballs? I guess that isn't too much work, but I would just brown the meat and put it in the sauce. But I would only do all that if I had someone to share the meal with.

I just don't feel motivated to cook for myself and end up eating way too much-processed food. You know, heat and eat. I know better. It is my bad. But if the good-looking man I met in the hot tub this morning wants to share a meal, then I might feel motivated enough to cook a meal. Actually, I prefer to wash the dishes and let someone else cook the meal. :D

I think a lot of things go better with the right companion. Sharing a movie is so much better than watching one by myself. Traveling out of town is much more fun with someone else.

I was going on a bike ride, but it is a little wet, so instead, I am making an Indian feast for our dinner tonight.

Butter chicken

Aloo gobi

Paratha

Dhal

For dessert: Carrot halwa

And then later maybe practise my Indian temple dance:


Have a happy weekend all!

Sure I dance like that at least once a day.😏 Well, not really. There is no way I could even move my arms that fast and gracefully, let alone do the footwork. I envy them for their agility and their clothes were awesome! I love the way the bottom front piece flared out into an attractive design.

Basically, I love anything Indian. Do you have any more dancing to share?

The meatballs have rice, spices, etc and they hold together so it's more like the stuffed cabbage. The way I make them is almost no work at all.

But I hate cleaning up!!! You sound like my Mom. When I see her, we make a perfect team: I cook, she cleans. 😊

I can't help you with the good looking man, though.....unless he's hungry and you invite him over for dinner. LOL

Went out to lunch after my doctor appointment, got to add him to my once a year list. Had lunch at the Korean BBQ which is where I’d like to eat every dang day. Ate too many sesame balls although I swore I would not. No, not telling how many. 😂

Was stuffed but then I needed frozen yogurt due to a phone call. Stress eating.

Joey”s sheltered workshop called. We would like to have Joey stay home until we decide he can come back. WHAT? We are code RED. HUH? We have COVID in the building-again and we don’t want Joey to get it. We have a LOT of Covid. 😡

We also think he should not go to his worksite in town. (He works at Texas Roadhouse twice a week.). Salt Lake County is getting 8000 new cases of Covid a day. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😱

So, Joey is staying home. But it might be too late, who knows? Not me. 🤬

Good gravy! You made our 600 new cases seem small. I was horrified we had that many cases. We had like 20 or 30 cases a day during the first lockdown, so when things opened up, no one took the threat seriously and the numbers started to climb but didn't get really bad until time around.

The gal I picked up today was in a workshop and when they took her temperature it was 104. o_O When I took her home the woman who has the foster home, took her temperature and it was only 98. She was wearing too much clothing and cooled down when she took it off. I don't think anyone can have a 104 temperature and feel fine and the gal felt just fine, except she felt like she was punished when she had to stay in a room by herself while waiting for a ride.

Everyone's nerves are on edge with this virus. Driving her home we double-masked and I opened the windows. I am glad it was a false alarm. I would have had to isolate myself and I don't like that idea!

Tell your Mom I like her. Did she always prefer to do the dishes? In a high school class, I always got stuck doing the dishes and I didn't learn anything. When I was married and excepted to cook, it was a challenge. :ROFLMAO: I heard putting soda in the beans would reduce the gas. I put in too much and every bean tasted like a spoon full of baking soda! :sick:

Like a lot of small family businesses, we've absorbed price increases over the past two years without passing the pain along, but that's no longer possible. As with everyone else, our customers have seen a lot of information over the past 18 months supply chain issues and inflation. Prices are significantly higher prices for nearly everything they buy.

Many Senior Forum members have posted about skipping foods (like bacon) that have ratcheted up in price in favor of less expensive cuts. Some are eating more meatless meals, others are making more meals from scratch. Many are combining all three strategies to reduce their food costs.

Since our company furnishes required embellished uniform apparel for which we are the exclusive provider, we've see how purchasing patterns shift during various economic cycles. When times get tough, most people scale down their purchases. They'll buy fewer sets of school uniforms for their children and shorten up their family's laundry cycle to compensate. Many do the same for their own work apparel, whether a uniform or clothing that can be purchased anywhere. Ditto their leisure clothing.

This inflationary cycle is unlikely to put us out of business, but even if it does it won't be tragic because DH and I had only planned to keep it going until the end of 2022...

p.s. Glad Ernestine makes you smile. I've been a Lily Tomlin fan since hovering near the TV while my parents watched Laugh-In back in the 60s. Saw her live act several years ago. The woman is still an absolute hoot!

You sew clothing? Where does your fabric come from? I used to sew but the cost of patterns and fabric has gone too high for my pocketbook.

The only sewing I have done lately is masks. That was a crisis in the beginning because there was no bias tape or elastic in the stores! The selection of fabric was terrible. I made some masks using string and some I used shoelaces. I never dreamed we would ever have empty shelves. That was such a shock.

I bet Lily Tomlin could make all that seem funny.

I ordered 2 bananas through Instacart yesterday and there was none. Not organic or otherwise. I don't eat them myself, but my bunny boy will protest if I can't get them.

isn't it raining in Bristol today ?....

Absolutely falling down here again... I have never in all my life seen so much rain here in the south as we've had this last month
 
My wife and I are off to the county town of Dorset, a place called Dorchester. If you have read Thomas Hardy you will know that Dorchester is the inspiration for Hardy's book: "The Mayor of Casterbridge."

What are we doing in Dorchester? Visiting a milliner. My wife is to be measured up for a hat. She wants a particular hat to go with the outfit that she's making. Quite fortuitously, the milliner said that she can repair a hat of mine, so two birds, one stone.
