MM Warriors Part Deux (As of October 27)

Actually, I kept envisioning a carved pumkin somehow looking like a carved turkey. My brain is stuck on pumpkins!

Funny you should say that! I have a turkey pumpkin stencil and one year bought a tall pumpkin after Halloween, kept it cool in the garage until T'giving, took hours to carve all the feathers, etc. Lit it up for my centerpiece on the buffet. Dad goes to get his food without mentioning my masterpiece and I'm standing there saying "Does anybody see my turkey???!!!" Not my best Martha moment.

There is usually not much good on tv for us on Sat. We just have the basic cable and it's not digital. The cable company moved most of the channels I like to HD. We refuse to get one of their boxes. We will be needing a new tv soon anyway.
Mike fell asleep on the couch with the remote and some informercial is on. His voice is sooo annoying. I need to pry the remote out of his hands and change the channel LOL. As soon as I do that, he always wakes up. Sort of like a security blanket.
I would never reveal shows endings to you. It was funny one year on New Years Eve, I called my sister at midnight and they were watching the ball drop, but it was only 10 pm in CO. She said they watch it twice.

I can just see Mike sleeping with his remote "blankie."

YAY! YAY! YAY! I looked and looked for the Polaner and never could find it.

Me, too! Tom said, "Right on!"

Well, I am sure that I would have oooohhhed and awwwweed all over that turkey pumpkin! I always appreciate a good pumpkin! Your dad was probably overwhelmed with all of the good food you prepared!

That's a good one! Did you see what I said about the Smuckers spread? Had you seen it in the store before now?

I haven't seen it yet. I just now got the Polaner's. I am anxious to try it though. I love strawberry. Not sure if I like apricot or not, but hope so because that's what I have LOL

 

[gettinhealthy]

Lisa, have you ever ordered through Puritan's Pride? They are having a sale right now buy one get one free and they have D-Ribose. The price is 2 for 49.99 and that is 2 250 gram bottles.
I love the way it dissolves so easily in the drinks. No grit at all!! It even has a vanilla smell I think LOL.
Would the puritan's pride be as good as the Now brand? Just wanting your input.

Pam, if you need coupons for diapers, I have a bunch of the sunday coupons. I have been saving them since last Dec. I told you all I do couponing LOL.
I can check to see what I have diaper coupon wise.

Since I'm flylady'ing I'm going to dispose of most of them. Don't have enough time to really do my coupons right now. So, if anyone needs any, let me know soon!!

Nell, was that last week you found the Truvia ones? I can send you the ones I have. I may have 3 or 4 of them. If I can find them. I can let you know for sure.

I have about 3 or 4 sets of the coupons.

Kathy: That price does sound good at Puritan's Pride! I used to order from them, but haven't in some time. I should compare the rest of our items. Thanks for the tip! I'm not schooled in the different brands, but if it's pure I'm sure they are equivalent, don't you think? I've been paying $33 a bottle, so that's a big savings over time, depending on shipping.

I bet you could even make a glaze out of it for chicken? I got red rapsberry. Might have to order some more Julian bread for freebie pb& j's!

 

[Wisteria1956]

I'm making Trader Joe basil sauce 6 carbs, ground turkey and spaghetti squash for a quick dinner before the kiddos come by. Aitkens bars for dessert cause the sauce is so low carb. Perfecto. The only part of my plan that is funny is that hubby has to take Gummies and the like to work, instead of Reese and Thousand Dollar bars for leftovers. Wonder if the guys will like the leftovers THIS YEAR, LOL! They got coffee cake from me this week, so I guess I won't be too unpopular.

I bought a small bottle at the natural store, and it ran me I believe around $20. I used to get all my vitamins from Puritan's. They also have the acidophilus pearls also. I love when they have the buy 1 get 2 free!
I will save some money for the 2 deal.

OOOOH! That sounds good! I actually have some chicken in the fridge left over from the other night, so I could put a little on and put in the toaster oven for a bit. YUMMMMM

Bored to tears at work, but got to talk to Ken online for awhile so that was good!

Bev - so sad about putting that first horse down...I had my first horse trauma at age 10, when my first pony Pepper" had to be put down, I was totally traumatized and will never forget it! Then I had lost an old Belgian draft horse mare, that I had rescued from an abusive Amish farmer...she was the Love of my horse life, and I was able to give her several good years of peace and happiness before she fell one day and was unable to get up due to complications in her spine from a beating she had received with him. I was devastated at losing her, and my greatest dream is to be able to one day open a Horse Rescue operation in her memory....when I win the lottery that is.

Lisa - about the free PBJ with the Julisan bread...if you have freebie PB, and 1g preserves, wouldnt you be ok with something other than Julian bread? If you used the Julian you woiuldnt make the 11-20...or were you thinking of a totally FREE PBJ, as in a 5x5? Im confused, but thats no surprise! LOL
I found a whole wheat here that is 8g per slice, so using two slices with free pb and 1g preserves would be a legal 11-20...right? Im heading to Target, hope I can find the Polaners here too! theres lots you can do with jellies and jams at 1g!!

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

Think it would be disgusting to use that jelly with my 2g Wasabi Horseradish on some chicken or turkey? A little "sweet" to cut the bite of the Wasabi?

YES, Pony DOES eat Wasabi!!

I was thinking of a 5 x 5 cause I'm not big on pb&j for a meal. Leaves me wanting something...What I got at Target was a new version of Smuckers. Like their answer to Polaners.

I knew if we left you alone long enough, you'd come up with a really weird food combo to get back at us all! Not so sure about that, but hey can't be any worse than seaweed!

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

Lisa - I can come up with weirder than that! LOL, In college we used to drink pepsi and chocolate milk mixed together...it was YUMMY!!

Finally off and heading for the gym...Later Gators!!

 

[gettinhealthy]

I love mashed potatoes, creamed corn and cottage cheese all mushed together ever since I was a kid. That has always reminded me of the holidays
My grandma always had those things on the holidays as well as cressent rolls.

 

[SharronLee]

Wisteria1956: I had a productive outing! Guess what???? Smuckers has answered the Polaner (sp?) call! At Target they had Low Sugar, No Artificial Sweetener, Smuckers Spreads 1 net carb! Red raspberry, strawberry and concord grape! Yippee! I don't use it much, but cool for when we want to!

Got the little her own bag of pink M&M's at Michaels. I hope there's not a porchful of kids when she comes, or they might get jealous so I'll have to detain her until they are gone

Got Choc Coconut Adkins bars for dessert for us and all candy we don't like, such as Skittles, lol! Bloody Atkins people lied on the box though. I knew enough to read my own label, but it makes me aggravated. They are really 11 carbs, but the box says 3 net carbs!

Lisa, I went to the Smuckers web site to see if it was available in my area and couldn't find any with 1 nc. The Low Sugar has 6g total carb, but has 5g of Sugar. The Sugar Free has 5g total but has Splenda. Is the name on your jar Low Sugar? Does it have Fiber added? Guess it could be a new product and they haven't updated the web site.

Not much going on here tonight. I have been FLYING since I was last here. I have a table in our kitchen that is a catch all. It serves as an extension of my counter.
So each time I go out to the kitchen for something, I just do a little more. It's looking pretty good
There are some nice things on Flylady I am thinking of ordering. It will make my housecleaning and office cleaning go a little easier I think. Not too badly priced either.
I'll be in and out. Getting ready to take Tyson for his nightly walk. He loves going up town with all the college kids out there. They just fuss over him. I have named our main street in town to Boxer Blvd. LOL Wonder if they actually would? LOL
Catch you all later

Hi everyone! Having a nice time watching the Ghost Hunters marathon. I stopped in to see all of you! It's nice to see what your up to. I'm making some broccoli soup. I'm getting to where I love the stuff! And my alarm will be ringing at 11:30 for my carb dam.

Kathy, I'd love Truvia coupons if you have them! I'll return your stamp to you if you send them! I am actually doing better since I've been getting my flylady emails again. I have dishes in my sink soaking again though. One I get the shiny sink down, I'll feel like I'm flying again! (flying means following the flylady program)

That's a great jam idea Lisa! I've got the apricot preserves. I have them on my triscuts now that I'm on step two!

Pony, hope you have a good time at the gym. Watch out for ghouls and goblins!

Hello Jocelyn! I know you'll be coming on soon!

Here's to everyone! I'll try to check back in a while!
