Room For All

[Luce NDs]

Yes. Wouldn't you know it?

Well that's the hind of that concern ... unlike the horsehead nonsense ... we gets the R's ... some say Hearst NU's!

My morning started with a bang. I had left messages with CT booking and my doctor's office on Friday. Both phoned me at the same time. We have a mailing address in one hospital catchment area and are physically in another. Of course the CT went to the wrong spot. It is more wrong because they were the ones who said my sister had Bell's Palsy when she was having a stroke. Anyway, it's all sorted out. I believe the issue is that the doctor has a new assistant. Fingers crossed this is fixed.

It's a rainy day so far. I'm making bacon and eggs for breakfast. The bacon and potatoes will be done in the air fryer. Yum.

It is my turn to make supper tonight. So - invent I will. I plan to cut up half a cauliflower, add some various other veggies, some flour, seasoning and milk and top with camembert.. Bake while crossing my fingers and toes.

 

[Nancy]

Well...I made home-made chicken burgers loaded with lettuce and tomatoes, and I did oven roasted potatoes. I was supposed to include a vegie but my sister phoned and I got talking and forgot to put the peas on to boil. We have leftovers for tomorrow, so maybe I'll make the peas then. Both recipes I got on-line: I print out the good ones and have a binder where I can refer to them over and over. A little old school (paper copy) and a little new school (using internet).

Let us know how the casserole turns out! Write down what you use, in case it's good!

Actually it was pretty good.

Ingredients were:

2 cups of chopped turkey
Egg noodles
Sauteed onions and celery
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk

A few ounces of cheddar cheese, a bit of thyme, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce and paprika added to the soup & milk mix.

Not bad at all if I do say so myself

It is B's turn to think of something for supper tonight but I was thinking of a sort of casserole with a mushed lentil base, left over pulled pork in the middle, and a mushed acorn squash for the top layer. I have not suggested it to her yet. We still have 3 little, 1 medium sized acorn squash, 2 delicata squash and 4 butternut squash to use up over the next month or so.

Roasted butternut squash is fabulous to make squash soup! We love that. I grew delicata squash at the school garden a few years ago - they were very tasty - we don't often see them in the grocery store here.

Good morning! For the supper plans and casseroles that worked out well, for the aggravation of dealing with medical appointments, for all the other events and topics that come up, we gather in friendship and support to chat and to car. The Coffee Cart is up and running, come on in and enjoy a heapin' helpin' of our hospitality.

We have a lot of squash soup in the freezer.

new topic around the room: swearing. When I watched the Golden Globes last week, I was appalled at the frequency and fierceness of the swearing. Yesterday, I caught myself saying that something was a 'pain in the patooty'. I wonder where I ever heard that expression, and why I didn't go to the more famous pain-in-the expression. When I was a teacher and something didn't go right, I would say "rats, rats and double rats" and I would hear some of my students say the same expression when things weren't going their way. Not swearing is sometimes more imaginative. Just to be clear....there are swear words spoken in a whisper sometimes when the situation warrants.

I noted this morning that another GOP individual was arrested for brutal activities ... an urge that seems over whelming to those wishing to flatten the demos ... all those troubling words requiring that someone read into "M" ...

May be a literary device for when one gets right into the myth of force is good ... than intellect departs all IHCy or icky ... whatever ... the fity bottom line? It is what ide comes down to ... life is a filthy Job ...

He was a really sore loser: hiring 4 men to shoot up the homes of some Democrats. He will probably get considerable time in prison to reflect on hjis inability to accept losing.

Its a pole thing like polity ... organizing is a difficult task for those in the chaos and Din of emotional overide ... this dissonance goes round ... once known as Eris ... a term condemned by one teacher of complex English ... as pin ... a thing affiliated with the tale of a mule (MU*el) among us ...

What's a MU elle ... sextant mysterry? They do provide tug and haul ... and what do we learn? Usually nothing is the rule ...

 

[Luce NDs]

Here in the room of NB ambulance service is going the way of AI ... anonymous intelligence as dealt with by machines.

The Responders are upset ... I've told the household if I drop in the driveway just to leave me there to see how long it takes to gather the body of evidence ... maybe a fallacy for all we know ... appreciate we don't know much beyond the diabolical collective of demos that the emperor cannot see ... maybe because of the flashing lights!

Powerful authorities like explosions ... they wipe out the opposition and competition so one does not have to learn co opting!

Simply out of the question ... anybody ever read: Out of the Question and into the Mystery ... God is said to be a displaced mystery regarding the sol portion ... it went down ... when down it is difficult to dig up understanding ... thus the MU MS Understood?

Maybe calculated as thin efficiency ... about to collpase ...

Roasted butternut squash is fabulous to make squash soup!

I love squash soup beyond all reason. Had a fantastic one at a Christmas luncheon the company did for senior and regional managers. That was at the Old Mill in Elora.

Sunningdale golf club in London makes a good one, too. Had theirs a couple times at work meetings that used their facilities.

 

[BetteTheRed]

I think the flavour is in the roasting. Squash has so much lovely sugar to caramelize.

 

[Redbaron]

Good morning! Squash soup, profanity, and sore Republican losers seem to be the order of the day. As we continue the chat about these and other themes, let us gather round the Coffee Cart, in community building, for conversation, support and hot beverages. All is ready.

Echo..o..o…o..
There seems to be nobody in the Room right now. Where is everybody?
Red’s virtual coffee is getting cold.
Good the fireplace is still going.
I have a completely relaxed cat on my legs, stretched out the whole length of my legs. How can animals make themselves so long…

I'm here...enjoying a gingerale. Too late in the day for me to drink coffee. I enjoyed a walk in the bush today. It was warm, and quite peaceful...I think it is the day of calm before a snowy and stormy day. Then, when I got home and tried to work on the church bulletin, the printer printed out papers with a large black streak on one side. I found a youtube video, fixed the problem, and now feel like a printer repair-person/secretary. Proud of myself.

Ape wanders in. Back in my ape nest after a nice vacay. 7 days cruise plus 3 days sightseeing in New Orleans. Love the city but it's the first time I have actually be there for pleasure rather than business (I used to attend a conference that went there every third year or so) so it was nice to have time to really see it properly. The music (jazz and blues both have roots in the area) is lovely, the food (cajun and creole) is amazing and there's a real sense of history, both the good and the bad, that I find lacking up here outside of Quebec City and some of the older parts of the Maritimes. And the cruise to Key West and the Bahamas was mostly a good time, though the return hit some rather cool, windy weather as we rounded Florida. But I enjoyed seeing Key West and especially Nassau, Bahamas, which is another city in the region that just drips history. Freeport, on the other hand, I can take or leave. It's fairly modern and mostly for the beach crowd as far as I can tell. There's some interesting indigenous sites East of the city but those have little to do with Freeport, which only dates to the 1950s. Did get some nice closeup looks at some big ships since the cruise dock is right next to the channel where container ships come in to the port.

So that's the story of my life for the past while.

We went to Chemainus, BC today to have lunch with my sister and her husband. After lunch we walked around the pretty town and bought goodies at a local bakery.

Signs of spring were evident.
