@RadishRose A salmon recipe I found today called for 1/4 C maple syrup, 1/4 C rum and a tsp of dijon. Marinate the salmon for a couple of hours and bake in parchment paper for 20 minutes.

If you don’t want to use the rum, you can drink it first.

Everything tastes better with maple syrup!

Pour it on just before you plate the salmon, or whatever goes underneath the syrup.

I can't comment on those other 2 ingredients I am not personally familiar with.

However, I would be very willing to help to eat it,

with all of them, if someone else here is cooking it!

@CallMeKate
It does seem like a similar forecast here too, which is a very pleasant summer day.

@katlupe
Sorry it is still too hot for you there. I hope you manage your walk alright and enjoy your hair appointment, despite the old building without a.c.

@Pinky
I always enjoy hearing about your day too, and your rides. The special ones that you hold your dear doggie family member, and let me know if you see horses, or whatever you do see, today.

Good morning to all of you, my friends here!

I am feeling a bit confused this morning, and wishing I could shower and wash my hair, etc, before going to my own medical appointment, late morning today;
But I am not strong enough to do both, so the appointment has to win out.
Call it extreme priority setting!

It is also called, Radical Acceptance, I was recently told.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

Get this, The Weather Channel online reports our high today as 82F/28. But Accuweather.com says it's 105F/40.5C!!! I'm choosing to believe The Weather Channel. How the heckabobs can they be so far off from each other?

Oh!! I just checked again to be sure, reinput my zip code on Accuweather.com and got 82F/28C! I'd either miss-typed my zip code or picked the wrong city from the pull down. LOL

In my defense, I woke late this morning and have only had one sip of coffee.


@katlupe, hope you are able to stay cool at the stylist's.

@Kaila, good wishes for your medical appointment. Radical acceptance is a great plan!

The usuals for me today.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

Hello to all of you on Saturday morning.

My medical appointment yesterday, wore me out again. It's been an overly exhausting week, with dh appointment on Monday and my dental on Tuesday... and everything since then.

I need to focus on the basics today. Eating, resting......
It's a beautiful day outside my window and IF possible, I want to go outdoors sometime today, for a few minutes.
Not driving or going anyplace.

Trying to rest, relax, and recupe, from the past week.

I couldn't even fit in any p.t. this past week. But Monday, I plan to!

Take care , each one of you!

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

It's going to be 87F/30C today, which isn't too bad, really. There's a very small chance of rain and a possible thunderstorm, but I'm not expecting it.

@Kaila, glad you're going to be getting some rest today after the draining week you've had. Hoping you get some time outside as well, but if you don't, there's always tomorrow.

I went to redye my hair yesterday as the gray is starting to show a bit, but when I looked at it (I've been wearing it pulled away from my face), I realized that I actually like the way it looks right now. I like the little bit of gray coming through, like an accent.

It's not like I'm trying to pretend I'm younger than I am and so in a hurry to erase any gray as soon as it shows up. I am the age I am.

I'll dye it when I look in the mirror and I no longer like the way it looks.

The usuals for me today.

Hope everyone woke feeling hale and hearty this Saturday morning. Many to all of you!

Good morning, everyone! I hope it's a totally restful day for you today, Kaila! I don't have much more planned... I've already been out for groceries... two different stores, and got some housework done. Not bad for still being before 10 a.m.! One complaint... decided to treat myself to a wonderful, sweet, creamy hot mocha. The coffee shop ruined it... totally. It wasn't anything like they're supposed to make it... it was ONLY coffee and bitter, bitter chocolate. It's supposed to have sweet cream, a little sugar, and whipped cream. It was a new person in there. Should have stuck with our Kaila & Friends barista, @Medusa
