10/31/23 - Meals

How about till summer? We don't really have a "spring" lol. But I already am over winter too and we haven't had snow!

SNOW!!! SNOW!!! SNOW!!! Call it snow, because that's what it is--SNOW!! Hey, we live in the Midwest. It snows here, that's just what it does. That's normal. I always try to look at the good side--it's not hail, which destroys everything in it's path. It's not ice. I can most generally walk on snow, even with my crutches--but I can't walk on ice. Weather is weather--and nothing we do or say is ever going to change it. It's going to happen, regardless. It's moisture. What we don't get in rain, often gets caught up with snow. It's been raining and snowing for thousands of years...it's not going to stop in our lifetimes, so we may as well accept it. If we get a decent snow soon, my adult son and I have big plans to make a snowman for the first time in years and years. Who knows, maybe we will even toss a snowball or two or twelve.

We woke to snow on the ground also, messy and wet snow. It is awfully damp outside. I had a deli turkey and Swiss wrap yesterday with some cucumbers on the side for lunch yesterday. I sliced up a golden delicious apple and brought that for a snack, but the twins decided that they would rather eat that, so Nanny only got a bit. We had burgers for supper.

Everything is frosted over again this morning but at least it isn't s**w. You keep that stuff up there so I don't have to deal with it. I made beef, broccoli and noodles for supper last night.

I'm genuinely upset that October is over already. I just can't believe how fast time seems to be speeding up these days. I blinked, and the month is over. I know that Christmas is still 2 months away, but the way time seems to by flying it will be here in gone in what will seem like 3 more days! lol

Yay! The countdown. LOVE it. And that number seems so small although still large. But probably only because I HATE winter. But hey, it's supposed to be in the 70s this weekend, so that should be nice. For dinner I made braised pork with caramelized onions with some ajvar rice on the side, and we had a little mac and cheese and a little buttered corn leftover, so we mixed it up and we ate that too.

I cannot quite keep straight what I ate. It was homemade, though. Casseroles and vegetables for the most part.

I love your cheese pic. They all look delicious! Yesterday, I made some Mexican cauliflower rice and it was delicious!

We have been warned about very bad weather conditions from this afternoon, but no snow.

Can you send us some snow.

I ate cheese and split pea based soup and get this: doughnuts and little chocolate bars. I'm sorry about the snow.

Your meal looks light, healthy, and tasty. No snow here yet. But are you sure you're eating enough?

Ah yes! Winter is so beautiful. You knew this day would come. I understand you wanted to put it off a while longer, but winter will not be held back, even if we still have another month and a half before winter is official. Everything sounds good except those lima beans. Yesterday, the only thing I ate at home was breakfast. There was a birthday celebration at Bible study yesterday followed by lunch with the ladies at Pizza Ranch. I did my best to keep my calories under control and believe I did a good job. Though that cheesecake had 510 calories alone. I have yet to weigh myself this morning and see the damage done yesterday. I'm hoping it's very little since it was the last thing I ate yesterday. I didn't have anything more when I got home.

the food looks awesome. Yesterday I had mrigel fish curry and rice

The TV is warning us about an electric storm near where I live. The last one did something to Alexa and now it is not answering to orders.

The usual (chicken taco salad) for lunch, and I had some Campbell’s healthy choice tomato basil soup with some diced tomatoes and rice added for good measure.

Just leaves on the ground here. Hope it melts today for you

None of that white stuff here but it's cold enough. I'm going to enjoy your spring countdown as I hate everything about winter

I just KNEW I should have left my Christmas decorations up. It would have saved a lot of time this year.

I am very happy for the cold! I was just looking for my gloves, we don't have snow, but goodness does it get cold at night.
