January 14

back to eating round bread in broth after each supper. I was trying other breads and English muffins. remind me to NEVER buy English muffins again- they take forever to toast and be tender and not a glob of dough in your mouth. So for years I was buying the whole wheat store brand round slices.Of course none most weeks and I have to try another brand. Well got to try the Fiber One brand and loved them. Of course none when I needed more. ho hum.

I eat just one half so have to wrap the rest or they stick together. 

Sometimes I can do the separating before I freeze them which is best.

2023:MUSIC

So yesterday I deleted 106 WCOD from my preset on the radio. I had listened to that station for years. Dan & Stephanie in the morning. They got "fired" a couple of years ago. She is on Lemonadio. Dan is on Y 101 rumor has it in the afternoon I have yet to catch him. So they made a new team of Kevin and Nina. Kevin is the tireless DJ who does everything. He is loud but not obnoxious. ah just tuned in and Dan is on the radio. So back to Nina and Kevin. They disappeared as a team and Kevin is on drive at 5 commercial free. I try to catch him but I am usually fixing supper. They replaced Nina and Kevin with canned radio team of Doug and Jenn. They are horrible. If WCOD ran the promo for their show one more time.... It was a banana eating joke. They had other funny stuff but that one over and over. They got the boot. So now it is 99.9 the Q- the old radio station WQRC they play new pop and older music. Pleasant mix. If  something annoying comes on I switch to Y101.

So this morning I heard a tune and wrote down the lyrics I caught. Turns out it is an old song from 13 years ago by Dido LOL

Dido-It's not so bad  love the purple house they demolish

some more tunes that cheer me up

Heard this faintly on the radio through my left ear while on the computer. I thought first it was part of the sound track to a movie from the  80s-90s Natural Born Killers. Went to youtube and nope it is a recent release so now I am curious what the soundtrack to the film was!

Natural Born Killer-Highly Suspect

*

added 106 back to my presets just so I can listen to Kevin in the afternoon once in a while.

Finally got my radio antenna wire from amazon and reception is much bbetter.

February 27

heard this tune on the radio early today wrote down the words so I could look it up later. I had hoped I would remember later in the day. Nope. so after supper I googled it. Men at Work! I was thinking Huey Lewis and the News maybe.

Now to find out if they also did Beds are  Burning. If not who did! nope that was Midnight Oil.

Who can it be now

Beds are burning

*

I hear this mostly on Y101 and finally found out what it is

Freaky Girl

*

The Way I Am- Puth-acoustic

The Way I Am- official

Finally got around to googling these lyrics to find the artist of course it is Ed Sheeran. All I could remember was him breaking his leg at 6 years old.

Castle on the Hill Ed Sheeran

Then this newer song grabbed my ear and I love the instrumental lead in to Bloody Marty Lady Gaga.

This is someone else doing a video with Lady Gaga's voice.

Not as rewarding as the "plain" Lady Gaga video where we use our own imaginings.

Not Lady Gaga

*******

Lady Gaga's version with out video

what the fuck this is all 11 years old. How did I miss it???

Lady Gaga Bloody Mary official video

then there IS a video.

video Bloody Mary

okay enough is enough!

******

okay I do chi gung breathing exercises every morning for 15 minutes- 3 separate sets. I turn on CDs for this. About every 5 years I listen to Madame Butterfly. Him singing out Butterfly brings me to tears every time. I had actually forgotten the story and googled that. Two links in the wikipedia entry were worth following. 

Madame Chrysanthème is a novel by Pierre Loti, presented as the autobiographical journal of a naval officer who was temporarily married to a Japanese woman while he was stationed in Nagasaki, Japan.[1]

It is based on the short story "Madame Butterfly" (1898) by John Luther Long, which in turn was based on stories told to Long by his sister Jennie Correll .

I had to google why she killed herself!

Madame Butterfyl wikipedia

so imagine the strangeness of when I listened to the rest of the CD while ironing. I heard the humming chorus but missed Pinkerton singing out Butterfly.

Beautiful graphics with this video

Madame Butterfly humming chorus

April 9

so I hear this song every morning on the radio. Wanted to listen to it on youtube but could not remember the artist or title. so google to the rescue. Finally found the title and a clever little video but not before learning a new sex position at my age. LOL

snow angel in bed article

The snow angel is a sex position where the penetrating partner lies on top with their head down by the bottom partner’s legs. The bottom partner then lifts their legs around their partner’s lower back to elevate their pelvis for easy entry. “It’s a playful position that offers new angles and a whole lot of stimulation for both partners,” explains Isabelle Uren,(opens in new tab) a certified master sexpert with degrees in psychology and cognitive semiotics.

So this morning finally heard a song I have wondered about for a long time. For some reason it sounded like a holiday tune- These are a few of my favorite things. But I actually heard the lyrics more clearly this morning- I want it- I got it- now to see if I can find it!

January 5

while fixing lunch of boiled carrots and peas with onion, catsup and Grape Nuts this happened. Looked like a peas & carrots Popsicle no flash - flash

January 13

bought two sweet potatoes, finally got around to roasting them. Washed and peeled then cut into chunks. placed in bag and added 1/4 teaspoon Bells and a dollop of olive oil. Tossed and roasted in 275 oven for one hour. smelled good tasted great. froze 4-5 servings.

*

bought Thomases English Muffins since they did not have the sandwich rounds I like. The muffins were heavy and doughy and almost inedible. I even searched the internet for how to cook. Before this just toasting them for 2 minutes a side would brown them. The advice was to oven bake them for 5 minutes a side at 350. They were still sticky and heavy and would not brown. NO MORE ENGLISH MUFFINS!

*

January 23

well  bananas were lousy for a while so I switched to clementine oranges. Sometimes even the organic one suck- this one was very soft and watery.

*

  a few days later I washed and cut an apple so I could saute it for an after lunch treat. agh it was bruised so much I ended up eating the entire apple minus the bruising.

February 1

1/2 c oil

3/4 c molasses

1 pk Mott's applesauce

I was hankering for some curly spinach to add to my Yukon gold potato, fresh carrots and peas supper tonight. I have not bought spinach in decades! And this breaks away from my usual broccoli etc meals. Which is what weekends are for- breaking away. So I could not find loose fresh spinach anywhere in the store. Bought Baby spinach in a lovely clear package with a zip to open seal. nice! oh but I forgot what a royal pain in the ass washing spinach is when it is not nice big curly leaves. I'll have to start supper preparatoion 30 minutes earler 

what supper usually looks like

the spinach

other things in condiment aisle I would likely never buy

I should have checked the sodium content ha ha

This time no baking powder at all! Last week there were large cans which would take me 5 years to finish! I wish they sold the small cans like they used to . It was about 2 inches tall. so had to google the recipe for baking powder- cream of tartar and baking soda. wow cream of tartar is almost 6 bucks for a tiny jar. so okay that problem is solved. Now all I need is more space in the freezer for my cookies LOL

recipe from google for baking powder I see I need arrowroot or cornstarch now too LOL

To make your own baking powder – some say with fewer metallic undertones than the commercial stuff – mix one part baking soda to one part cornstarch and two parts cream of tartar. For example: 1/4 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch = 1 teaspoon homemade baking powder.Aug 20, 2009

found out why cream of tartar is so expensive

reason cream of tartar is so expensive

"Cream of Tartar (AKA tartaric acid, chemical formula KC4H5O6, Potassium bitartrate) is formed during the production of wines made from grapes.  For commercial production the crystals that precipitate out in industrial fermentation vats are collected and purified into the white powder that you buy at the supermarket.  The process involves multiple stages of chemical purification, filtration and drying.  The cost is high because the only known source or tartaric acid is from grapes, and because of the costs of processing involved in purification, as well as packaging, shipping and handling.

The same crystals will precipitate out from chilled grape juice but in too small of quantities to be useful at the home scale, unless you are making a lot of wine or grape jelly and have a chemical plant in your back yard.

Sunday Supper

I have Brussels sprouts on Sunday

s and Wednesdays. I was finding all my vegetable stews were beginning to taste bland to the extreme. So this past week I have eliminated the Grape Nuts  on Monday, Tuesday,Thursday, Friday and maybe Saturdays It helps me chew things but also robs the flavor from the vegetables. At the same time I was having edamame, peas, cut green beans, cauliflower and broccoli in the weekly stews. Maybe that is too many conflicting flavors. Now during the week I will have just 3 vegetables with or without the edamame. add garlic powder. And still have the broth from cooking as a bread soup after. a round piece of bread toasted well. Cut 6 ways like a pizza and slathered with Smart Blance and placed on top of the broth. It is very soothing.

So this Sunday I tried something different. Edamame this time seems very tough and it needs 30 minutes of cooking in a lot of water. 12 minutes into that I add my 4 thick slices of zucchini to boil for my hot salad with olive oil and apple cider vinegar and Mrs Dash. That cooles for 8 minutes pick those out and slice in quarters and toss with the dressing. 15 minutes into the edamame cooking I add the Brussels sprouts. 5 minutes I pick out and slice in half. Then half a cup of cauliflower florets. so 10 minutes for all of that to simmer. drain off 1 cup of broth and set aside. Sprinkle those vegetables with 2 tablespoons of Grape Nuts, 2 heaping tablespoons of Smart Balance and a 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. a small squirt of catsup and reduce that for 5 minutes. Let it rest in the bowl for 5 minutes and then eat. It was tasty.

So there was controversy  about Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben products. So they changed the names  to: Pearl Milling Company and Ben's Original. So "Aunt and Uncle" were the offensive words? LOL. Marketing sure boils down to eye catching colors- note- Pink Stuff. No I did not buy it. And mouthwash now is markedly announced as  "Zero Alcohol". Is this so people can safely drink it if a Friend of Bills? I knew a few customers where I worked in the 60s whose parents drank mouthwash and vanilla for alcohol content because they were on a list in town. Ancient history. There also used to be "cherry sheets". oh my how times have changed. Now to the attention getter the color Pink. For a minute there I thought I was in a Victoria's Secret store

Bought baby spinach fresh a while ago and it was so much work to get it ready to cook I bought baby kale. All because there was no frozen spinach or bagged regular spinach.
well this kale says tripple washed on it and it was still sandy!

Raspberry Oranges. Just wish they would sell ones that were fresh and did not taste of mold. The following week I bought

a bag of Pixie oranges there were like 5 in a bag and they were almost 7.00 BUT they were delicious BUT again too acidic so that was a one time deal with me ha ha

A friend in Germany used to travel a lot and send me photos of his meals- main course, desserts, wines etc. This time he sent a photo of German pizza etc and what they call detox water

I thought this looked so refreshing and pretty. I would never drink it but ... :)

note to stop buying rainbow carrots- last batch were so tough even boiling for 30 minutes they were hard.

*

A few weeks ago they did not have the yogurt I can tolerate- Fage  Best life or whatever it is called- lactose free. In fact all they had was 2%. well I suffered through 2 containers which last me a week a tablespoon each day. oh my the gas pains and bloating were horrible.

June 1

I  eat edamame each night. Only version available for too long was the out of pod one at Star Market- Signature brand. Grown in China. They were tough took 30 minutes of cooking to make them "less than hard". They had the organic brand but in the pod on occasion. I was not crazy about unpodding them but. finally got tired of the Chinese ones and stick with the Organics one. Tender and no big deal unpodding once I realized they were 100% better. But looked at the bag one day wondering what the serving size was- I boil 10 pods at the most which equals 20 edamame beans. On the bag- serving size = one bag.  I was floored- who can eat that many?

I love Grape Nut cereal. At the beginning of the pandemic they were vacant from shelves in the stores. Then they came back. But not the same. Has anyone eaten this dessert? Must be like eating sour milk, tart berries and aquarium gravel. I only eat them in my hot meals. Or if for breakfast they have to soak in boiling water to soften. What happened?

September 13 2023

Made my oatmeal raisin  cookie bars today,been a while last batch was March. Lots of clean up. Busy day. ate supper and decided to wash face and brush teeth before doing dishes. good grief my face was bright red!. I know I had to open the oven at least 5 times with 375 blasting me in the face. So guess I need SPF 100 inside the house now. I should maybe check and see if I have any eyelashes left.

December 15

All of a sudden I hate baking cookies.

Making Honey Peanut butter cookies using sunflower seed butter. Doing this to use up baking ingredients. The dough is stiff. Mashing them with a fork they are all over the slippery cookie sheet. They say bake until edges are brown and be careful because cookies made with honey tend to burn quickly. Set timer and did not  hear it go off. Smelled like they would burst into flames so I knew I better haul them out of the oven. They are fine. But looks like this recipe will make 100 cookies. Think of all that forking! So second batch I made them bigger. Still looks like 2 more batches to go. shoot me now. One did taste mighty good though. Third or fourth and last batch was one big cookie enough already!
