Morning....
mrose......made a big pile of shortbread again tonight, will send you some over.......it’s very low calorie.......
You sound quite busy and steaks are always good!!! And hope you come up with something nice for your daughter to celebrate......it’s a shame kids are missing out on so much right now.......
I'm sure it's low calorie...Just like the garlic knots I made last night.
In my defense, I had to use up the pizza dough from Friday's Pizza night.
According to our Gov, we on Long Island are not meeting the criteria to open up on May 15th. The nightmare continues....
Ugh! Sorry to hear that. We're not anywhere near opening up yet either, but my eldest dd and her husband both got called back to work. He works in another town, she's been working from home but now has to go into the local office a few mornings per week. Normally her job is traveling, but there's no way she can do that right now.
the base fell out of the tin and the whole chocolate/butter/cocoa powder/sugar/egg mixture all landed on my tiled floor with the most massive chocolate splodge you ever saw!
Oh no! I'm a huge chocolate person and that's just sad.
Meat is getting hit or miss again. No ground beef anywhere.
Yep, here too. Prices on meats are way up now too. We had a surge of cases in two local meat packing plants at the end of March, into April which took a lot of workers out. One plant had 164 cases in ONE WEEK! They are running again, but with new procedures and less staff. I would imagine that other areas of the country are now experiencing the same, as I've seen facilities in Kansas getting hit hard. One Tyson plant had over 700 cases. That's insane.
What's everyone doing for Mother's Day? I may have my mom over. I will leave it up to her
I was thinking of trying to have my mom over to sit outside in the sun.... but we're expecting snow this weekend. We could easily sit more than 6 feet apart in my yard, with masks on. We'll have to think of something.
Ended up giving my mom 21 rolls of tp and 8 rolls of paper towels since she was nearly out of both.
I wonder if there's another tp shortage. My aunt who lives in central PA had to send my cousin who lives in Washington DC tp! I guess the Nation's capitol was running low.
it’s a cold 71 in the house this morning.
it’s a cold morning here to wake up to.
Can I come down? It's only 42 right now and frigid. Without my annual May Florida trip to warm up I'm afraid my body will be in a deep freeze until July!
this weekend a feel like winter with snow flurries day. Nice. And it’s May.
I know, ugh! I can't believe we're supposed to get snow. It's way too late! We got oil today, because the price is so low and because we're still using heat with the low temps.
cam....it`s scary to read how many are now struggling to get meat!
We've had luck with our local butcher shop, but they have notices up now about the supplies being down and prices changing daily. My aunt just bought a 1/4 cow from a farmer which we may look into doing. Or a pig. Hubby is stopping by the butcher shop on his way home from work later to check prices and buy some meats. We buy some for my parents too, and store it for them in our deep freeze, since they don't have the room.
Kroger put limits on the amount of meats people can buy to 2 packages. We don't have a Kroger here, so I don't know if that means two packs of each beef, chicken and pork or just two packs of meat total.
Our state is opening some counties, of course none around us. But looking ahead to June, the Pocono 500 and Pocono Wine Fest are still scheduled and proceeding for now. It's going to be interesting to watch how this goes. We do like the wine fest but I don't think we'll be going, even if they do open. It's an outside event and you bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, coolers and they give you a glass for samples. Those things can be controlled, but I'm thinking of the crowds around the booths and stages where bands perform. And the bathrooms! Yikes!
But I am proud to say the home monitoring program I helped develop for COVID patients at my hospital system is finally up and running today! I'm pretty excited about this one - instead of just sending people to quarantine and hope for the best they have a place on an app that they can track their symptoms and important vitals and our nurse team can monitor them and look for anything that warrants a phone call, telemedicine visit, or something more urgent. Totally worth the extra hours the last few weeks!
That is awesome!!! And very much needed!! Great job!
. Have tended to replace the meat/chicken as we’ve been using it though. Last week the pickings were decidedly slim.
