I love "planovers"

Since I am an only here, I do a pot of "something" that I love & freeze portions. Had a frozen portion tonight! Saves time & energy, plus keeps you eating a meal.

We have never gotten used to not having kids around and still cook as we always have and have leftovers another night....when Joyce was helping DD3 for a year in Alabama and it was just me....I'd share with Mom and Dad to keep from having so much to eat for 3-4days....especially when I fixed liver and onions....by the third day it just isn't as appetizing as the first....

We try to cook meals that we don't have to eat for several days unless it's something on the grill. Like when I do ribs, I will do 3 or 4 racks and we vacuum seal and freeze enough for many meals.

@Latestarter i'm thinking that the problem with the hamburger helper had more to do with my pregnant tummy then anything else. I had made hh lots of times before and have made many hh types of homemade dishes since, just can't get past the store bought version. I make lots of one pot meals and always plan on having leftovers. makes sense to me since i'm the only one I have to worry about feeding.
i'm glad the steroids are helping your hands and wrist. hope they continue to improve.

A couple of hours ago I clicked the little tab up top that says Watched Threads... There were 144 pages, 20 threads to a page. I guess if you post to a thread, it automatically follows it for you. So I spent the past couple hours starting at page 144 and going backwards, un-following threads, most of which have been dead for years. I'm now down to 6 pages, mostly journals and posts that are still active.

Yep, I suppose they can unknowingly pile up...........if you don't make options your own to start with.

Yup, that's how I deleted/unfollowed them. That selection box is only for the threads you manually select by checking the boxes. The selection to unfollow all threads is up top right side. The selection you show determines what to do with the threads you check/select on that page.

Big weather change here temp wise. woke up to 58 degrees and gray/cloudy and damp. No A/C needed today. Finishing up breakfast; pan of maple/brown sugar oatmeal with a little milk. Can't tell if I'm in for more rain or not... sure looks/feels like it. Forecast says sunny... Sure isn't right now...

Same thing I had for breakfast...no maple. Creamy goat milk!

It was 89 here yesterday, only expect 74 today Sprinkling and way overcast.

Sounds like we're having same kind of day But, I'm going out to mow some perimeter fence lines. Won't get much else done as it's not dry enough for more. But have to do at least by fence to use the fields. GB would say I am WAAAAAY understocked. I won't be when winter hay is needed. It isn't far off. As warm as it has been my grass is still growing well, so I am hopeful to have some graze another 60 days.

I wouldn't know. I've never elected to watch/follow threads or people, tho if one isn't careful, as you found out, BYH's software will decide for you, that you will, whether you want to or not ..........I prefer to begin with a blank slate and no boxes checked/enabled..

Well, been long past the last poss heat cycle for my girls. Had to be at least 10 days. The boys have been separated long enough now that I felt safe doing the lute thing. All 5 adults got the needle to the rear leg IM this afternoon. They should come back into heat within 36 hours. The way I figure, that means they can start their next heat anywhere from 18-24 days later. So 18 days from today, I'll put the buck and wethers out in the pasture, then put the yearlings in the buck pen, then let the big girls out in the pasture. I'll keep them together in the large side of the pen for 2 weeks; Oct 14 - Oct 27, while the 5 doe kids will be stuck in the smaller buck pen for that 2 weeks. At the end of the 2 week breeding period, all will go back to the way it was before with the buck and wethers in the small pen and all the girls in the big pen.

I'll lute the younguns mid next week after the adults have this heat cycle, but before they come into their next. Don't need the boys flipping out over a whole herd of does all in heat at the same time. Best laid plans indicate I should have 2019 kidding between March 13 - March 26th Perfectly where I want it to happen. Not too cold, not too hot. Now let's hope it all goes according to plan. None of the yearlings are large enough for me to want to breed them this fall. CC & CB got hit last fall and though CB has grown some, CC stopped and I think is going to be permanently stunted. A couple of this years kids are already near or as big as she is. CC's daughter, a full month younger than the others, is almost the same size as her mother.

No sunshine today at all. Not even a break in the clouds. Just gray and damp. All this time crying for rain and I'm all ready done with gray, damp, & dreary. Ready for some nice cooler, sunny, fall days. Hope we don't go straight through into winter... That would be really depressing.
