Toasted cheese with pickled jalapeno's on the side
Sis on you Pacman, keep your food porn to yourself
I have those moments often! First I went biltong crazy, then beetroot crazy and now I'm on an avocado mission

I don't know what's gotten into me, Snips.
I even have fresh tomatoes on hand now, as I like sliced tomato in my toasted cheese sammies
It's gotten where I don't even need to pay attention to cooking them and they come out just right. That's a lot of toasted cheese sandwiches

Lovely to go away, just as lovely to be back home
So true! I think going on a trip always gives you that wonderful feeling to be home. That is what a home is all about. Glad you made it home safely.
Pac, cheese is good for you.
I just paid the full balance on a credit card. w00t! That's it. They are all paid off except for current transactions.
A client came and dropped off paper work for his taxes and I am working on tax returns again.

Good for you! Doesn't it feel good? We don't have a balance on the credit card. We are able to pay it off each month now. It is a wonderful way to live. Now I am throwing as much money as I can toward the house. It should be paid off soon. Either the end of this year or early next year if nothing major happens.
Then we will be totally debt free! I can't wait!

It's just your body's way of telling you that you need something. Maybe it's a vitamin deficiency
Just go with it, don't fight it
I've had so much beetroot that my wee is staining the loo! Now that's bad

Thanks so much Chops
Yes, so nice to be home with all your creature comforts
Good morning everyone
I had a wonderful sleep...still a bit tired but feeling loads better than yesterday
Steve just cooked me a lovely fried breakfast, hot italian sausages, tomatoes, eggs and baked beans
Now we are about to head out to do the grocery shopping....then home to do a mountain of ironing, gee I hate ironing

Well I'm watching my poor little Doxie try to get through life. It's hard for him right now. 3 days ago he tumbled while playing with our other dog and the end result is a back problem. He is on bed rest which he just adores, aspirin and glucosamine supplements. He was making progress this morning as he was able to hold his head up and wag his tail. The this afternoon the other dog ran into him and he's back to square one. I feel so bad for him and wish I could take his pain away.

Not really. "If cravings were an indicator of nutritional deficiency, we'd all crave fruits and vegetables," says Karen Ansel, MS, RD, CDN. "The fact that we all want high carb, high fat comfort foods, along with the research, is a pretty good indicator that cravings aren't related to deficiencies."

Oh dear. Doxies are so prone to back problems, being long and low. Gentle hugs for the sweetness, MrsLMB, hope he feels better soon.
I'm parting out the bird feeders. The outrageously expensive squirrel-proof ones with the drop down lid are not squirrel-proof, and forget about them being coon and possum proof. For us, they last 2 years, tops. Put up a No-No feeder, with chain mail, it's not critter-proof either. So I'm combining the best of all into 2 new supposedly squirrel-proof feeders, and wiring them up. We shall see.

You are right .. he does a pretty good job confining himself.
He's 13 but still has the energy of a 2 year old so when he begins to feel better he wants to resume the play position.
As for the other dog - today I told DH I thought we should just open the door and set that dog free
We've been lucky with him until now. I had a doxie when I was growing up and she had chronic back troubles .. no fun at all for those dogs.
We have the squirrel problem too. Do you hang your bird feeders from a tree or shepherd hook? That is what we do but of course that in itself is not enough.
I found what looks like a huge giant funnel that goes on top of the feeder .. it's been impossible for the squirrels to get to the feeders since we installed those 2 years ago.
When all else fails ... catapult !!

We ended up putting steel poles with a T bar, in concrete embedded with river rock. DH is serious about feeding his birds
I wire up whatever feeder we hang, otherwise it gets dragged into the woods, never to be found. I also have a squirrel baffle under each feeder, which is a stepping stone for the coons. We tried the shepherd's hooks, the coons just bent them to the ground. And the possums have joined them.

We can learn to listen to our bodies and they will tell us what they need. You can learn to tell the difference between a craving for junk and "good cravings".
