2:42 pm
periwinkle
easy recipe
2:42 pm
periwinkle
the fruit and black bean soup were very easy. the lentil soup just a tad more work
2:43 pm
periwinkle
I also made a non meat loaf which was ok
2:43 pm
periwinkle
I like to freeze some of what I make
2:43 pm
Aloyisius
a lentil meat loaf?
2:44 pm
periwinkle
I do have a recipe from stidmama which has lentils in it but the one I made had walnuts, onion, garlic, celery, bread crumbs and I don't know what else. it crumbles when I tried to cut it
2:44 pm
periwinkle
Vegetarian times has lots of recipes on line
2:45 pm
hego
Do you eat meat Peri?
2:45 pm
Aloyisius
yup, are you a vegetarian, peri?
2:45 pm
Aloyisius
lol hego
2:45 pm
periwinkle
pretty much, Aloy but sometimes I do eat seafood
2:45 pm
Aloyisius
same with our daughter
2:45 pm
hego
I know you est seafood.
2:46 pm
hego
<--unabashed carnivore.
2:47 pm
Aloyisius
me too, I keep my incisors busy
2:47 pm
periwinkle
sometimes it is hard to eat out cause there are no or limited vegetarian options. I had lunch with my sister at Nordstroms recently. I had a salad with a delicioius dressing. it had a few pieces of chicken and I ate them.
2:47 pm
periwinkle
but I really try to not eat any meat
2:47 pm

2:48 pm
hego
It is a litlle tough.
2:48 pm
Aloyisius
has some unusual words for sure
2:49 pm
MollyL
Just out of curiosity, why no to meat but yes to seafood?
2:50 pm
periwinkle
just because. I really like seafood but do not eat it often
2:50 pm
hego
a health thing, I think.
2:51 pm
periwinkle
I don't think red meat is healthy but I do not want to get into any food debates here
2:52 pm
hego
You certainly have a right to your opinion Peri.
2:52 pm
hego
And you are probably right.
2:52 pm
jesdraggon
red meat in the amounts most Americans (and I don't except myself there) consume surely isn't, peri.
2:53 pm
periwinkle
the other people in the house eats lots of red meat and not much else
2:53 pm
hego
But I love a nice steak once in a while. :)
2:53 pm
hego
All in moderation.
2:53 pm
periwinkle
agreed hego
2:54 pm
periwinkle
moderation and balanced
2:54 pm

Aloyisius
ciao, peri
2:56 pm
MollyL
We don't eat much red meat simply because the good quality isn't affordable and the other stuff isn't worth eating.
2:56 pm
hego
getting very expensive.
2:57 pm

well done jess
10:03 pm
stidmama
Thanks Bugs. I really hope it's done before the end of April, but I really have no idea when we can move in
10:04 pm
Bugsaw
Lots of people move in before it is totally finished. Do you have to let it air from the new material smells first?
10:04 pm
stidmama
no, it has been SO LONG since anything has been brought in that has things to offgas that it will be pretty safe. I even have the frig and freezer already airing out and they won't go in until counters are in.
10:05 pm
Bugsaw
good thinking to know to do it first.
10:06 pm
stidmama
how's mr bugs? I assume it's still too early to start on the ark again?
10:08 pm
Bugsaw
no, he works on it all winter too. he is slowing down a bit which worries me because his top speed at the best of times is putter
10:08 pm
stidmama
I keep thinking about how he would know about some of the things we are doing, and wishing I had someone like him around to help sort out the necessary delays from the annoying ones. :-) My dad and I are pretty good at most of it, but another set of eyes from someone who can build things would be lovely.
10:08 pm
stidmama
oh oh... mr. bugs slower is like watching ice cream ooze uphill!
10:09 pm
stidmama
I hope he's not ill.
10:09 pm
stidmama
Please give him my love.
10:09 pm
Bugsaw
I have started going to the doctor with him because he doesn't hear well and I wanted to know what was going on
10:09 pm
jesdraggon
oozing ice cream? but you'd have to spill it for that... sad ice cream.
10:09 pm
stidmama
How are you doing? Will you be able to visit walking, or will I be extra glad my house is mostly accessible?
10:09 pm
Bugsaw
we are watching it but I love the image of iceream oozing uphill!
10:09 pm
stidmama
GOOD for you!
10:10 pm
Bugsaw
I am walking and doing everything I should be doing, just a lot slower since it is still swollen and awkward
10:11 pm
stidmama
I know it's hard to do... both the walking AND the waiting. Be strong. Sorry you have to go through this.
10:13 pm
Bugsaw
thanks for caring stid,, but it is not too bad. I just walk funny and want to look as sophisticated as possible which is not sophisticated at all when you feel like Chester on Gunsmoke
10:14 pm
stidmama
okay, I have finished eating. Going to go take a break. I have tomorrow, and one week, then spring break. I will hopefully be able to tile that shower over the break. Otherwise I will just take a day or two off teaching to take care of it.
10:14 pm

is anyone here who can answer a computer question for me? My son made Google Chrome my primary browser but I find the print is too small. Is there a way to make everything larger on the whole thing?
10:26 pm
jesdraggon
i think if you hold control and hit the + it will enlarge
10:26 pm
Bugsaw
ok, trying that now.......
10:26 pm
jesdraggon
if that doesn't work, i will ask Bruce, he uses Chrome a lot
10:27 pm
Bugsaw
it worked!! how easy was that ?!
10:27 pm
Bugsaw
thanks jes
10:27 pm

Welp. Guess that ended stidmama's babble session. Spilled liquids on keyboards have that effect.
11:43 pm
stidmama

11:43 pm
grannyrose

Hi stiddy, FW's just in time for the flip....Are you very close to where the mudslide is? Hope not!!!!
11:45 pm
stidmama
ick. no, a (slightly) hard cider to calm my nerves this evening. Not enough to make me even feel tipsy, but a little bit of a kick that soothes the tired teacher's soul.
11:46 pm
stidmama
hey pida!! no, we are fortunately very far from that area, it's at the north edge of the state (geographically closer to cybernan). My heart is weeping for these families, I drove to school this morning and needed to sit in the car a few minutes to stop crying. The radio news in the car is all I get in the morning, but it was so sad today.
11:48 pm
pida 1
Glad to hear you are safe. Prayers to the unlucky ones...
11:49 pm
negativeneil
Ahh. Can totally relate to being a tired teacher, although I wasn't one for that long. Tiring though, you bet! A class of 8-year-olds.
11:49 pm
grannyrose
speaking of prayers, if you have one to spare, please pray for the poor families about to arrive in western australia, to start their grieving process for all their lost loved ones.
11:50 pm
negativeneil
Yes, stid... and Rose. Very sad. :(
11:51 pm

11:52 pm
pida 1
I've got quite a few to spare for all the families everywhere that are going thru traumas. I can feel for them.
11:52 pm
negativeneil
Impossible not to. Life can be pretty cruel. :(
11:54 pm
grannyrose
