So, Chuck and Camilla hit town last evening, and will be milling about at our National War Memorial tomorrow for all of the ceremonies. Thank goodness I found this article:

Now I'm clear on how to properly conduct myself should I suddenly be seated with them at a dinner engagement, or positioned behind them at the grocery store, aerobics class, etc.

A great article, full of vital bits of advice:

At a recent media briefing, however, the question of whether the royals had received a flu shot went unanswered in the name of medical and personal privacy, so it might be wise to always carry a jar of hand sanitizer with you, and don't hesitate to use it immediately following any physical contact with the Prince and Duchess. A mask might not be a bad idea, either.

:lol:

Members of the royal family, it is noted, enjoy eating the food and drink of the country or region they're visiting. So break out the BeaverTails, poutine, maple syrup and Bloody Caesars

Hello me psillies- Yes, it has been quiet here! I don't know where I've been? :huh:

Ah yes, I know, staying away from all the vomit stories because I vomit at the drop of a hat (please- don't drop yer hats right now :lol: )

Heading out to see "The Men Who Stare at Goats"... .. .....looks phab .. .....

How was it? It looks great!

Raychelle- all your posts :lol: x 10

Mine had projectile vomit....it hit the wall and slowly slid down.

Egads! that's the worst!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I ever tell you guys that in my "letter of application" (I use that term loosely) for my preschool position, I informed the director that I don't gag at the smell (or sound)of vomit? I'm pretty sure that's why I got the job.

:lol: That and yer spelling abilities! I spell fo-net-ick-lee.

Silver lining on an otherwise crappy evening,

I bid on and won a romantic trip for 2 to Victoria BC to stay at the Fairmont Empress!! Think I should take the hubby or find someone worthy of a romantic weekend?? ;)

That rocks! Jealous!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Psillies. Cinnamon rolls are rising. They shall be ready in about 1 1/2 hours. That should be plenty of time for you all to get here. I shall expect you shortly.

Got any left? <drooldrooldrool>

Just a poop in. God, I miss talking about poop and vomit, not having to worry bout spellin and "Perfect English" and being uncerimonially un civilized! My computer crashed and I can't afford a new one. Just wanted to thank you all for the many times you've lifted my spirits. Hope to poop in now and then, but access is hard now. You all sound so good and I miss ya!

Sleezen :unsure:

We miss you Sleezen!

When did Jesus become a psilly??????????? :lol:

Barack apparently grabbed one when he was here.... ...... . .. :rolleyes:

Men Who Stare at Goats....... . ..well, the premise was funnier than the movie, methinks. Mildly entertaining, and staying power due to it being based on a true army regiment back in the 60's.

Actually, the TRUE staying power came, entirely, from the fact that George Clooney is in practically every scene, and I will sit and stare at him doin' just about anything for two hours... . ..... <_<:rolleyes:

Nothing frightful about fried dough in the shape of a beaver tail! Unless it's not gluten-free..........oh I want one. My mouth just got wet :lol: :lol:

Chaz and Milly? :lol: Sounds like me 80 year old aunt and uncle.

Why doesn't George do anything for me? Never has....I can appreciate him aesthetically but nope, not dreamy. He's aging quite elegantly though.

I much prefer rougher men like Anthony Kiedis (RHCP), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and.........Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall

Everyone in that movie is beautiful. Julia Ormond is breathtaking! Ethereal.

Ok- must come clean. My name means "girl from the beaver meadow" in Olde English. Thus the nickname Beaverly :ph34r: :ph34r:

A solemn day here in Ottawa..... ...will be heading down to the War Memorial for 11 o'clock with the Ripper -- he's not so solemn, as his school has the day off. <_<:rolleyes:

Almost every Remembrance Day that I can recall has been cold, rainy and miserable here, something challenging but fitting to stand through at the ceremonies. Today, however, is beautiful -- bright sun and 9C.

My dad did not see action during WWII.....he guarded German prisoners at the Trenton base. Many of the detainees, young, scared kids like himself, became his friends, and I still have three beautiful wooden carvings that prisoners whittled away at as they passed the time in their cells, and gave to Dad when he openly admired them.

I will certainly look at them today, and think of my dad laughingly trying to translate a joke into German, or helping the young wounded soldier with a mangled hand write a letter home .

I wonder if he was ever dressed as a sumo wrestler, or an old, matronly lady, back in those prison-camp days. . .. ....... :rolleyes:

Beautiphul day again here today B) Humidity has gone back down fer the moment and it's a cool morning. I have been doing Pilates, and thought I'd crank up the ole treadmill. As soon as I turned it on, it tripped the circut box :angry: Good thing my Pilates machine is equipped wif a rebounder (fer the cardio part ;) )

<musing....> I hate getting old....it's all maintainance now..... :lol:

Good news is that Mark installed a TV on the wall in there fer me, but of course that got "tripped" too. :P I just did me routine and then schlepped out to the circut box....hoping no one would see me in me shorts and tank top :ph34r: I phigure that is not how I need to present meselph to any neighboUrs wif whom I have not had the pleasure to meet--and any poor innocent younguns who may be in the vicinity :o:lol:

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path
    • xxnonamexx
      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth 
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.
    • xxnonamexx
      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
