Look at me @porwest ! I'm attempting a spin on broccoli cheese soup but with cauliflower and carrots also included. No recipe involved but I can say that it doesn't include potato chips, leftover sour cream dip, or soy sauce...

Heather Echola Sounds good and quite nutritious while being frugal using what you have.

I've learned not to let people get on my nerves at work, however, yesterday a few people did. One older employee came to the office, that knows me from my previous job, practically yelling, " these people would have been fired at...

Heather Echola I hope you were not too busy and the careless cashier got taught a lesson, and was willing to learn.

I heard my engine going click click click as I was driving the other day. "Valve lifters," I thought. I am good with vintage electronics. But I am NOT a car person. Cars were NOT a thing when I was in high school, because I went...

Heather Echola Yours was a much smaller problem than the one we had with the Mazda. A rear bearing went out and it lost all its grease. When the mechanic got into it he said some amateur had tried to do some kind of repair and messed it up. It took over $400 to make it...

76 days until spring. So far we only have about 4" of s**w. The Lake Effect S**w Warning is in effect until Sunday. My husband's 2nd cousin came over to cook the pork roast and work on my to-do list. Breakfast - PB&J...

Heather Echola Muffins and sausage with coffee for breakfast. A banana. Lunch I had pea salad and saltine crackers and a clementine. We had bean soup with ham last night, and a protein shake and one cookie.

You may remember, I live near two lakes, there is also a pond/very small lake out my back door, maybe 100 yards away. I have also posted in the past about the incredible amount of Canadian geese we have in our area here. They...

Heather Echola The lack of immediate sanitation is weird, but maybe they are overwhelmed by multiple locations and need to make each trip worth the effort. I know we were always told not to handle dead birds if we found them and now it is even more urgent to follow that...

Bob cooked bacon cheese burgers for us and we ate them on cracked wheat buns. Pea salad was our side dish. In a little bit we will have hot coffee and chocolate mint cream pie. Just the kind you make with pudding in a crumb...

I just realized today that my break is almost over. We go back for one day of school on Friday, I guess to ease us in. I did not really get a lot done for break, but having both Bob and I get sick probably was enough. I am...

Heather Echola @FourWalls Oh, and we also take a couple of days off in the spring for some sporting events because several teachers help staff it. I am ignorant, I want to say it is for two different regional cross country events. You can tell how "sporty" I am.

Heather Echola @kaylachan No, that would not make any sense at all. I hear that the south is going to have a colder winter than it has in a long time.

Heather Echola Supposedly this is so we can get out earlier in May, but why? Oh, and the building was a bit chilly in spots anyway because some of it is central heat and air, some of it is boilers. We have different wings built in different decades.

I want a snow day on Monday. I am hopeful, even though the snow has not yet started here. I had a big pot of mostly broth from my ham and navy beans. I added rice into it to cook, and we at ham slices with it for lunch. With red...

Heather Echola We are enjoying staying home, eating well and just piddling around. As he said, if the power goes out and he loses TV he can always read a book. We have flashlights and somewhere I have a book light.

Heather Echola We have gas heat, but the blowers are electric, of course. We have a gas cook stove, lots of candles, some oil lamps and lots of blankets. There are "warming stations" fairly close if we need it.
