I went to a training session at the Butterfly Garden, given by the horticulturist Heidi Shiesele, owner of Treesearch Farms. Although I did some weeding and pruning there early in the summer, after a while it got hot and no one was going most of the summer. So now it is super overgrown. I am adopting a couple of plants… Read more »

Hubby’s out tonight, so I decided to get busy in the kitchen. Made a batch of flax bread, a 2g “English muffin”, and a small batch of pancakes/wraps.
I’m good for a while.

Pistachios and cashews are not low carb friendly. Stay away from those.
I like cashews. It’s a good thing I’m very fond of pecans.

Tedtam’s diet lets her eat fruit, mine doesn’t. Actually, not much. Some berries, like strawberries, are allowed in very limited amounts. So long to the mangoes, bananas, and apples. /small tear As far as crunch goes, there are recipes/instructions for making cheese crisps. There are also kale chips, which are pretty good if salted correctly and not made with too… Read more »

As Texpat says, the lack of anything crunchy sucks, too. Although at his suggestion I have been eating a few Water Crackers.
And hot pork rinds – the only no carb crunchy snack there is.

ElGordo Lost eight pounds in thirty days….would have been more if I hadn’t cheated with beer three times.

Back home in centex after a road tour of north Texas. Fall has not yet quite arrived although there is some yellowing of the tree leaves. Temps in the high 80’s to low 90’s still holding, but a little cooler today with rain showers covering much of the area. I’ve not had time to focus much lately, but I’d like… Read more »

Rush announced the news that Mitch McConnell is now campaigning for Trump. Guess he decided which side of the bread the butter is on. And doesn’t want to be left behind.
Ted Cruz and Mike Pence are campaigning for the ticket in Iowa. Good choice there since Ted won Iowa in the caucuses

Voter registration should expire every five years, requiring re-registration. Just about every other significant govt document expires periodically (driver license, passport, etc. ) and nobody seems to lose their tiny minds over it.
