pedalphile Posted October 13, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 13, 2018 I am carrying the load on the Cafe so far this day, and I have also prepped and set off the slowcooker for a 12 hour shift with tomorrow’s dinner inside, I have some friends coming to share it with, and I shall also do a pud, a rarity for me, but one I am good at, a Tart Tatine, with the last of my apples from another friend’s trees, but that won’t be till tomorrow, so we have it hot from t’oven. when you arise, what will be afoot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted October 13, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 13, 2018 We were planning on taking the grandkids and their mom and dad to the corn maze today. It’s only forty degrees with rain predicted. Not sure it’s a good investment to pay for ten admissions on such a yucky day. It’s hard to find a good time to go with them mostly open on weekends and work schedules for my son and my wife not the same. They usually close for the season October 31st.

Longjohn ★ Posted October 13, 2018 Share #3 Posted October 13, 2018 We haven’t actually ventured into the maze much in all the years we have gone. We do the hay ride, the pumpkin patch, the cow train, the hay maze, the giant slide and the food area. With little kids there is not a lot of interest in getting lost in a maze. This maze has been voted best corn maze in the USA several years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted October 13, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 13, 2018 Good Morning! I did the few dishes left from yesterday and made a pot of tea...This one is "Candy Apple White".....a very light "green" tea...with a hint of apple to it...quite pleasant this morning. I took my first dose of lisinopril...and I messaged my doctor regarding the two other prescriptions I need (for psoriasis and allergies)...and told her what I found out about the Shingles shot from my insurance...It is time now for me to get the shot since I have been hounding everyone else. In an hour, my neighbor and I will head out into the SUNSHINE (the sun came out yesterday afternoon...the first real blue sky in like 9 days) Down the Mississippi we go..fall colors, apples, pumpkins...and if we are lucky a sweet treat at the Smiling Pelican Bakery, in Maiden Rock, WI I have not been there at all this year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted October 13, 2018 Share #5 Posted October 13, 2018 I didn't do my early morning Detroit ride because everything looked very wet from the overnight rain. So I slept in. Drinking coffee now and will embark on a solo ride in a bit. Only 41° in the SE mitten brrr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlecan ★ Posted October 13, 2018 Share #7 Posted October 13, 2018 We are no longer enjoying the tropical temperatures we saw mid week. More seasonal today, but still plan to get out for a ride later. Got a couple of bikes to refurbish and flip, hopefully at a profit. Also working on another video project for my yootoob chanel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More seasonal today That weather change report could be my own one for here, however the olde currant bun gave a surprise appearance while I was out on my shopping trip, and I ended up in only a short sleeve jersey, very nice. When I got back I had some of last Saturday’s kimchi that I made, a fiery little number it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted October 13, 2018 Share #12 Posted October 13, 2018 Had dinner with the family last night and since it was a nice evening sat outside. Near the end of dinner we saw lightning and then boom was pouring down rain!?!?!? It rained pretty much all night. As such my wife closed all the windows and sliders making the room stuffy so I couldn't sleep... Was up most the night watching Backdraft and cooking shows. Now I'm freaking tired... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted October 13, 2018 Share #13 Posted October 13, 2018 I'm still eating too much prepared or semi-prepared food. The more prepared it is, the faster it tends to be handled by the intestines and the faster sugars go into your blood. Not good for us diabetics. So I try to add more fiber (salsa, green veggies, etc.) to my diet to slow it down and that's been working so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As summer squash butternut isn’t really meant for long term storage, however I have found them to usually last 6 months or even more if carefully stored and monitored regularly. Have you grown these yourself? If so, great; squash were my favourite crop, after onions, when I was serious with my gardening for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a butternut squash downstairs that I grew last year. It still looks perfectly fine. I didn’t plant any this year, my wife doesn’t help me eat them and last year I left a ton of the go to waste out in the garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, you never hear it hardly neither fore nor aft. I can only think of Olde Mother Hubbard, nursery rhyme or some such. I want to try these best ever squash, though, I do so love the blues and the greens, btw, know you the Turk’s Head variety? They not only look great and last long, they eat very well indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need to finish cutting next years woid and get it out of the woods. The last time I cut wood out in the woods I parked my car out by the road and walked in carrying my stuff. I cut all week and had a bunch of wood ready to haul out. I was going to use my wife's AWD vehicle to haul it out with my trailer. She worked late, then it rained, then it rained some more, then it snowed. I never did get that wood out and then my neighbor/friend sold the woods. I wonder if anyone ever hauled it out? I'm watching my friend Amy on athlete tracker for Ironman, she is over halfway through her run. I downloaded the Ironman tracker app and it sucks. I think I'll see if I can find a better tracker. I don't see her name on the leader board. I hope I'm just not looking in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
