    Last thing you bought

    I bought a new water filter container for the kitchen. We have one of those Zero Water pitchers that we use when making coffee, but I found one that holds more water and filters it as you use it. You just put a cup under the water filter device, push the start button, and it filters fresh water...

    Last thing you ate

    Today, Bobby made some dolmadas, but he made them with fig leaves and not grape leaves. I was reading that fig leaves would work fine for make dolmadas, and sent Bobby the recipe, and he decided to make them. Today, he went out and picked some nice fig leaves from our backyard fig tree, and...

    Bitten by an animal

    Lots of times being bitten by some kind insects. Worst was one of those brown recluse spiders, and my arm got a huge red swollen area that had to be surgically removed, and left a scar on my arm. Other than that bee or wasp stings were the worst from insects. I have had animals who were...

    I can understand that. Now that I am in my 80’s, I don’t go places like I used to do either, so most of my shopping is done online, and having groceries delivered. Between Walmart for groceries and Amazon for things i can’t find at Walmart, I can get most thing that are necessary. If you do...

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    This is what I usually use AI for also, and it seems to work good for me. I ask questions like “compare nutrition between parsley and cilantro”, and then it can give me a completely rundown of the nutrients in both plants. For questions like these, it seems to be pretty accurate becasue all it...

    My bird station

    Personally,, I like the open bird station, but like you say, you will have large birds and squirrels if you have the open one, and just smaller birds in the caged one. It really depends on what birds you want to feed. If you want to feed just the small birds, then it looks like the cage is the...

    I have been reading about how amazon is getting rid of all of the American workers and now just hiring illegals, and i also agree that this is awful. Apparently, it is not just Amazon doing that, and from what i read, every corporation that has put in a non-American as their CEO has been doing...

    I do not know about that. If you are someplace where you can order from Amazon, then they should be available. We have them here is regular stores, like Walmart or other large stores; but I have no idea what is offered in other countries. I had a regular ice cream maker for a while, but it...

    I do not know what that is, @MamaFrankie . Can you explain what that means and why you think you can’t make easy ice cream with a Ninja Creami ? Okay, I looked it up and it is a motor skills issue. I don’t know if it is something that you would or wouild not be able to use. I put the...

    Home Made Ice Cream

    Here is a photo of the sweet potato pie ice cream that I made yesterday. It turned out to be DELICIOUS ! And tastes like of like if you mixed some vanilla ice cream with the pie. Sweet potato pie is almost the same as pumpkin pie in flavor, but much simpler to cook and use than the pumpkin is...

    Home Made Ice Cream

    We have been having more of the healthy ice cream made in the Ninja Creami. I have been adding foods to give it more fiber and even healthier, like chia seeds, oatmeal, protein powder, and yogurt. Today I made sweet potato ice cream. It has a fresh cooked sweet potato, vanilla, pumpkin pie...

    Plant based eating thread.

    I am not a vegan or even totally vegetarian, but since reading more and more about the importance of dietary fiber, I have been adding more plant foods to my diet, since that is where we get fiber from. There are a lot of good books about plant based eating and also about how important fiber is...

    Marie Mallory has passed away yesterday.

    Some of the longtime members here will remember Marie Mallory and her husband, Jake Smith. Marie posted a lot of songs, loved working outside in their yard and garden, and also being out in the woods and cutting the vines off of the trees on the property. Early this spring, she was diagnosed...

    Sunscreen

    I never wear sunscreen, and I have read that some of the chemicals that are in sunscreen can be bad for the skin and even possibly cause skin cancer. I have always spent a lot of time outdoors and gotten a good suntan ever since I was a little girl, and Bobby and I are in the pool every day in...

    Last thing you drank

    I made some oat milk in the blender, and then I added ice, vanilla, and some pumpkin pie seasoning and blended it all up into a kind of milkshake. It was ice cold and very delicious and had a lot of good fiber in it; so it was also very healthy.

    How's your day been today

    It has been stying hot, in the 90’s, or close to it; but we had a good downpour of rain last night, so everything is fresh and watered today. The garden is growing well, but the weather has been too hot for me to do much outside right now. We are spending time out in the swimming pool every...

    Fires

    It depends on where a person lives here in the US. If you are in the country, you can pretty much have some kind of a device to burn trash or have a nickel little fire . If you are in a city or even a town, many of these have ordinances against burning, or at least during the hotter seasons when...

    What have you done today?

    It is going to be way too hot again today, so we were up early and getting the plants and yard all watered before the heat (and mosquitoes) are bad. We are at 90% humidity, so we already have the window AC turned on in the front room to be able to breathe the heavy air. I made an early morning...
