Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Okay, that makes sense. We grew up calling Pensacola Beach, Navarre, Ft. Walton, Destin and Panama City beach area the ‘panhandle’ but I do see what you’re saying.
I went to Florida every summer as a child because my dad grew up near Panama City beach.
We took our girls there in the summer. It’s not too far of a drive for us, four to five hours depending on traffic.
My daughter’s new boyfriend grew up in New England. When his parents divorced, he moved with his mom to Colorado.
Apparently, others refer to the panhandle area as ‘northern’ Florida.
Geaton, I think one of the reasons the Healthcare ministry here in B.C. gave pharmacist's more responsibility as far as non serious prescriptions is because the healthcare system here is overworked. Very few new doctors are becoming GP's and a lot of them are working in privately run clinics (more money, I'm guessing) so GP's here are run off their feet. But I agree, it's dicey. Case in point, me. If I'd gone to my doc. I suspect he would have prescribed something for a minor urinary tract infection but possibly not. He may have caught the other symptoms. In my pharmacist's defense when I gave my symptoms to her and I mentioned lower back pain she was very hesitant to give me the prescription but I wanted it and the pain wasn't that bad then so she went ahead and gave it to me.
BTW, hope you feel better Gershun, are you still hobbling or is that finally mostly resolved?
Glad you’re okay. Yeah, definitely not a fun way to drop a few pounds. Those meds really do tear up our digestive system.
I know. Everything in the grocery has gone up tremendously!
It used to be a lot cheaper to prepare food at home. Nowadays, I am starting to wonder if soon we can eat out for nearly the same price.
Especially, since we can’t always eat everything that we buy at the store. It ends up going bad in our case, it’s only my husband and I at home.
I bought Naan bread to eat with hummus. I don’t finish eating it before the expiration date.
I freeze what I cook but other things can’t be frozen.
Naan keeps indefinitely in the fridge, you should always warm it before eating anyway.
Late last night.
Under $12.00 for two people.
They close at 11:00 p.m.
We freeze bread, and Naan too.
Tortillas - no.
I do freeze bread. I wasn’t sure that I could freeze Naan. Thanks for the info.
$12 is very inexpensive for eating out!
Am I supposed to refrigerate Naan? I do warm it before eating it.
I have been leaving it out on my counter. It had funky mold on it when I thought about eating it again.
It’s fine when I buy it when my daughters are visiting. Otherwise, it ends up going bad.
When I was at the ER everyone stares. Probably thinking "that poor pathetic woman" LOL
Ah well.
From now on I will place my Naan in the fridge or freezer.
I just googled how to store and both of you are correct. The article says that Naan has a short shelf life, and will get moldy. So, to extend the life of Naan, place it in fridge or freezer.
I hate having to throw food away when I spend so much money on groceries.
Today is all I want, fresh
Delicious bread gone
So I freeze some bread.
Guilty of this crime, alas
Frozen bread or none.
Mine are always going bad. Pulling some out of the refrigerator in August and they expired in April! And we ate so many burritos! Yikes.
NHWM,
I just googled it too!
"If you've opened your tortilla package, they'll last for a few days until the air gets to them. You can make them last slightly longer if you wrap them in aluminum foil."
I will be wrapping my tortillas in foil from now on!
Good to know about the tortillas. Which ones are you referring to, the corn or the flour? I buy both.
I can hold off on going to the store for more bread but the minute that I am running low on coffee, I will be on my way to the store or coffee shop! LOL 😝
Love that instacart can deliver certain stores later now.
How many times do I have to hit the hide indefinitely button before he gets the hint?
It kind of reminds me of when I was in high school and a guy would ask me out that I didn’t want to go out with.
I was young and gave him a lame excuse. I said that I couldn’t go out Friday night because I was going to wash my hair! 😂
So, he says, “What about Saturday night?” I couldn’t think of a comeback and I said that I would be washing my hair on Saturday night too! LOL
So then, he says, “You must really like extra clean hair.” I said, ‘Oh yes! I do!’ He finally got the hint.
The reason why I said that eating out might be just as cheap as cooking at home is because I can never finish eating the large restaurant portions of food.
I always ask for a box for the leftovers. Especially pasta dishes. I can get two or three meals from one restaurant sized portion. Chinese food is the same way. Loads of leftovers!
I split sushi rolls with friends. I never eat leftover sushi 🍣. That’s gross 🤮. Sushi has to be eaten fresh!
My days of last minute living is coming to an end.
Re-ordered early this morning. The same delivery guy is shopping for us.
Bear-claws are coming soon!
Anyone else find that when caregiving elders, they must have everything now?
That's not me, yet!
A neighbor's T.V. doesn't work (for her), so she goes running to her neighbor to fix it, now, as if it is an emergency. As if a 70+ y.o. is on-duty T.V. repair for a 90+ y.o. neighbor. The word is: Well, she's moving soon. Not a solution imo.
Worried for both neighbors.
Enjoy your bear claws! 😊
I hope you get your wish soon.
You’re welcome.
I have been in your shoes! I took care of my parents for a very long time.
Caregiving is the toughest job ever!
