Wow, that's worse than my heart healthy breakfasts. I vary my breakfasts each day, first oatmeal covered with granola and fruit, plus yogurt. Day 2 a bowl of Post Shreddies with fruit and yogurt, Day 3 a bowl of Raisin Bran, with fresh fruit and yogurt. day 4 a toasted bagel with grape or raspberry jelly, maybe yogurt. Then repeat. Day 8 is Turkey sausage and eggs, maybe an omlet with peppers and onions if I feel ambitious. Very ordinary, very boring, mostly healthy.My breakfast 4-5 days a week since 1/2022 has been yogurt and granola. It was an easy way to start the day with my carb and sugar counts but it does get boring. I vary the yogurt between, blueberry, cherry and vanilla. The granola is the Bare Naked brand and there are 5-7 flavors I buy depending on sale pricing. Boring but a decently heathy start to the day. I do miss toast though
Nah, Nada, Nyet, to liver. Onions are OK anytime....It looks and smells great! It's the taste I don't like.
The yogurt I eat is Oikos greek style triple zero that actually is very good. when combined with the various granola flavors it’s a good variety but does get boring.Good evening. Another beautiful day, only warmer. Today's temperature range 62° and 88° Next 4 days are forecast to be 91°. School opens Thursday for every one.
We went for a walk this morning at a county park, 0.9mi, then we went to a township park, where they hold a farmers market, with an additional 0.38 mi walk. So, I had my steps in for the day, by noon. We picked up an egg plant and a slicing tomato.
After lunch, I cleaned out the vanity in the hall bath, really a sink and a toilet, but they are not called "powder rooms" any longer...
threw out some expired covid tests, Epsom salts that has been in there at least 10 years, and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff that collected beneath the drawer. I took apart the sink trap and drain, as the drain was backing up. Much to my surprise, there was nothing in the trap or line to obstruct the flow????I even snaked the line in the wall. Go figure. I reassembled everything, and tried it and everything works...
My Yogurt, is Activia, 60 calorie in a small sized cup. it's the only yogurt I can tolerate, and I've grown accustomed to it over the years.
I was going to grill Turkey Burgers, (always an adventure), but the wife had bedding drying on the patio, so she fried them on the stove top. Tomorrow I grill steaks, potatoes and squash...
I'm quite sore after the contortions trying to fit in the vanity. Especially my left leg, (the one that had the knee replacement), Used ice before dinner, heat while in the shower after dinner, and it's still chirping. I'm beginning to regret my decision to have it done.
Its been over three years since the surgery, and it never met my expectation, even after a successful extended physical therapy, and time to heal, I still experience muscular tenderness and restricted movement.
Scores: Mets beat mariners 6 - 3; Baltimore over Arizona 8 - 5; Phillies over Milwaukee 4 - 2, and Miami over DC 6 - 4. Gotham leads Houston 3 - 1 in the 8th. NCAA Football, Rutgers 24 - Northwestern 7; LSU - Florida State tied at 14 with seconds left in the first half. In the FIBA World Cup, Lithuania beat USA 110 - 104.
Tomorrow (Labor Day), is the traditional "Benny Go Home" day at the Jersey Shore...our patience and tolerance is wearing thin at this point. That also goes for the bicyclists who insist on riding 4 abreast along our county back roads, Go back to work!
I am a carb counter for diabetic health reasons. I used to drink whole milk then 1% the last 20+ years. Now it’s unsweetened almond and it’s fine. I use it maybe once a week when I create a granola mix cereal. There is just something about a spoon and a bowl of cereal that feels good. Of course now it’s 1/2 cup of the granola mixed cereal and 1/2 cup of almond milk.I love all kinds of yogurt!
Like I do most any dairy product.
Milk has always been a favorite of mine. Skim, to whole and everything in between, it's all great!
No almond or oat "milk" for me, thank you.
Willie, your thoughts are …Good Morning All. Partly cloudy and 78°, getting back into the triple-digits today. Forecast calls for 100°+ through Friday, and then another break, maybe until next summer.
Pool felt great this morning, at 84°. Yep! I was in it at 0430 this morning, an early morning dip always does me good. Great way to start Labor Day. I usually wait until after I walk around 0730. This was after an unusually great night of sleep, 7 hours with only one bathroom break!
OK, I'll mention frozen yogurt, I dislike it as well. I love ice cream but I stopped eating it about three or four years ago when I started counting carbs. A cup of traditional ice cream contains more carbs than 4-12 oz bottles of beer!
After three days of grilling; burgers Friday, steak Saturday and chicken fajitas Sunday, today I am observing Labor Day by slow-cooking a pork butt in the crock pot for pulled pork with homemade coleslaw tonight.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I pulled out the figures palette. It came about when I sorted through the last 24 figures that I received from Chet. I just needed to get them sorted, touched up and out of the way.

As you can see, the three in the upper left are missing appendages.

The two men missing the feet will be easy to fix with my collection of legs that were removed to fit figures into vehicles. The lady without the leg may be harder.
I've mentioned my collection of figures that I have painted and stored, here is one of the two storage boxes.

Since a full third of the layout is not developed other than track, I will have plenty of locations for them. In addition, I have probably two dozen structures and another half dozen street locations that I haven't populated yet.
I keep a palette (piece of cardboard) with all of the work in progress and every time I paint something else, I use that color on somebody waiting for it. I am a bit behind though, here is the palette before I added the new figures to it.

Those figures that are circled in red are Chinese figures with bizarre colors. Three of those gentlemen will have their pants recolored as blue jeans, which are much more appropriate for my era and locale. Those pink, yellow and red pants might go well in downtown LA, but not the flatlands Midwest that I model. After adding in the new figures, 6 actually went into the finished bucket to await dull coating, I decided that I would make the most by starting with black; thus wiping out several in the "hair", "belts", "shoes", and just black categories. This I started with and left them to dry for now.
Tom O - Are you sure that you don't hire the lifeguards for the eye-candy? Four of them seems like overkill!
Wife uses that unsweetened almond milk for some things. When I make something requiring milk, I use heavy whipping cream. I think that it is 7 carbs a cup, but I rarely use that much in any recipe.
Troy - Never tried baked beans mixed in with pulled pork. Sounds interesting and tasty. I'll have to try it with the leftovers from tonight.
Joe - Sorry to read about the issues with the replacement knee. My wife is real happy with hers after they re-did the infected one. She still can't keep up with me when walking, but the knees have nothing to do with that.
Everybody have a great Labor Day.
Reminds me of the man who raised me, John James Timmerman. He survived the depression by singing in bars for leftover soup. I never saw him eat soup. We had meat with every meal. He gave me hotdogs for snacks.I recall my Dad years back: He and Mom were at the doctor's office for a checkup and the doctor asked him if he had any complaints.
Seriously Dad (87 at the time) looked at the doctor and said -- "Yes, she won't let me have eggs and bacon for breakfast".
The doctor looked at Mom and said, "Mrs.Weems, the man is 87 years old - let him eat what he wants".
I don't have diabetic issues, I was cursed with other problemsI am a carb counter for diabetic health reasons. I used to drink whole milk then 1% the last 20+ years. Now it’s unsweetened almond and it’s fine.
