Actually, it does appear to move, :lol:

I emptied out the stomach before bed last night, so I think I'm better off than I woulda been. I got up and made 24 homemade cinnamon rolls this morning and 4 pots of coffee. Now that I'm sitting still, it's not good. I think I see a nap in my future

Hey! How's Gramma?

I haven't been here much lately with updates.

Canadian Thanksgiving was two weeks ago. We usually do our semi-annual makeover that weekend, but only got to it today. The weather has been unusually warm, and then it rained for a week. Today was cool, but pleasant and dry. The summer deck stuff is put away for the season, the squirrel bird feeder is up, along with the squirrel fountain bird bath.

Hot times at our place! Thursday we baked incinerated some taco shells in the oven. It was supposed to be set to 350oF. The plates came out much hotter. Did we accidentally set 450o?

Friday we put Kinnikinnick pizza crusts in, set for 375. The oven was cycling on and off, but the pizza was overdone. Okay, no coincidence here, something is f***ed up. (I said "fouled" - where were your minds?) Went to Wally World today and got an oven thermometer. Jacquie put it in the oven and set it to 200o. Temperature went up to almost 300o. I tried the oven at 350o -- it went up to almost 475o! Now we know what happened to the taco shells. :(

I heated some plates in the toaster oven this evening, set to 250o. The oven thermometer reported 240o, so it agreed with that oven.

Arrggh! Service call on the stove in the morning. It is a very old unit, nothing digital or even electronic, but well built and well insulated. It was in the house when we moved in in 1989, and was not new then. It likely was the developer's original when the condo was built around 1976. If so, it is the last original appliance. For those who remember the era of coloUred appliances, it is "Harvest Gold."

<snort> We had Harvest Gold appliances in our first house in 1976. It was a big decision to go with that, or the Avocado Green. Tres chic!

Speaking of squirrels, did I tell you guys that we inherited a squirrel with this house? I named him Chewy--he shows up on our deck every morning to get the acorns and unsalted peanuts I leave there for him.

The former owner told us about him--evidently he was so comfortable with them, he would eat out of their hands. With me, he's more comfortable with the glass door in between us while he eats.

Aha, so Patteigh has moved from North Jersey apt. to South Jersey house :rolleyes: Congratulations if my assumptions are correct :ph34r: The way we have to deduce information!!!! ;)

We have inherited neighbors' scaredy cat - they couldn't find her when they moved to Oz after the 2nd quake. She has even been so bold as to (once) let us touch her head, but usually lurks in the bushes waiting for food at same time each night (just before darkness). Sometimes if we are late she lies where we place the food bowl :wub: (of the cupboard kind) but is usually hiding by the time we get out there with the food.. For a while there we were jinxed because every time she started eating there would be an aftershock and we were afraid she would associate eating with quakes :huh: which was the reason she was MIA when neighbors left (I think they are coming back ?? but nothing happening on their house)

About 22 years ago, we moved into a lovely house with avocado shag carpet, avocado fridge and harvest gold oven. The appliances were 15 years old then, but going strong. We painted the fridge white & tore up that carpet.

Peter, it may be time for a " makeover" in the kitchen. This fall makeover....did you change your hair color? Get implants? Botox? New clothes?

We seem to be sharing a small white dog and a small white girl with the neighbors behind us! Their little puppy loves Cooper and Cooper loves him. The little one fits thru the fence and is always in our yard followed by his 8 year old girl ( she has a chair on her side & a step stool on our side as the human child doesn't fit thru).

Patti & Shroomie, Should I be providing pet food and acorns?

Patti & Shroomie, Should I be providing pet food and acorns?

The cat doesn't eat acorns, but I suppose I could try a new recipe for a new source of protein (but they're probably high in lectins :( )

ACORN PANCAKES from Sharon Hendricks

Break an egg into a bowl. Add:

1 teaspoon salad oil

1 teaspoon of honey or sugar

1/2 cup of ground and leached acorns

1/2 cup of corn meal

1/2 cup of whole wheat or white flour

2 teaspoons of double action baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 cup of milk

Beat all together. If the batter is too thick to pour, thin it with milk. Pour pancakes into a hot, greased griddle and cook slowly until brown on both sides.

Serve with butter and syrup or wild blackberry jam. Delicious!

Of course she doesn't mention the prep time on the acorns ;) And it does have corn meal :o

We were looking for our first house in mid-seventies and the one we liked had turquoise!! appliances. We did nae buy it.

* snort * ColoUr references of 1970's appliances......I very vaguely recall our house having a great deal of orange throughout my early childhood. I particularly remember the big avacado phone sitting on the li'l special phone table in the hallway.. .. . ..... :lol:

POeter! Can you believe that I found a pic of Jacquie proudly standing at your current stove during happier times, when it faithfully produced delicious pastries and roasts?

How on earth did she ever manage to organize a perfectly matching dress to the wallpaper??

Thanks Shroom--we closed on the house at the end of June and have been slowly moving everything down here. I've been living here since July with Mark staying at the apartment during the week and coming down weekends and usually Wednesday nights. Starting this week, he is down here for good and will be commuting the 77 miles. (apartment lease is up at the end of this month--it's effectively empty, just has to be vacuumed, etc)

Worked fer me!

Reminds me--in the late 70's, Mark and I had the latest in phones--it was brown, and the handle was super rounded so it looked like a big donut.

Might not be wallpaper . . . might be a curtain . . . which makes me think of Carol Burnett wearing the drapes in the Gone with the Wind parady.

When I was looking for my first house in 1989, I saw a house with the turquoise brathroom fixtures and a house with burnt orange bathroom fixtures. The one that I actually bought had the avacado green kitchen appliances . . . and the Refrigerator brand was "Norge."

Get a thumb report. B)

Does she have her dress that matches the drapes all pressed and ready to doff?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Is this celiac?

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
