I have been trying to add more olive oil to my diet so have made little salds with mini tomatoes and small amount of grated cheese with about two table spoons of olive oil over it.
4:29 am
zoozzoom
It is supposed to be good for the heart
4:29 am
zoozzoom
Salads not salds.
4:30 am
rubyfoo
Can you get decent tomatoes?
4:30 am
zoozzoom

4:31 am
zoozzoom
Youn can pay for the premium ones, Ruby. the ones still on vines but I will be using my mothers ones when they grow them :-)
4:31 am
rubyfoo
When I cook eggs for the dogs, I use sunflower oïl. When I cook for me (ra**ly these days) I use butter or a combination f butter and olive oil
4:32 am
rubyfoo
If it ever gets warm enough, I'll plant tomatoes in the potager. They are always delish
4:33 am
zoozzoom
I love omelettes myself. Not that I have made one for a long while.

Hi dawger. You get up early even on weekends. Amazing.
6:24 am
lbdawger
the body just says...UP!! and here I am :)
6:25 am
Scrabbler
I have to work in an hour.
6:25 am
lbdawger
hope it's an easy day for you.
6:26 am
Scrabbler
It is my on call weekend which is Fri 5pm til Mon 8am. I slept last night without any calls. :-)
6:27 am
lbdawger
crossed body parts that it stays that way! quiet on call weekend!
6:27 am
Scrabbler
I will get through it.
6:28 am
lbdawger
how's the weather out your way? will it enhance your chances to be busy or quiet?
6:29 am
Scrabbler
Wintry. We have had more snow in April than Oct, Nov, and Dec combined.
6:29 am
lbdawger
tadone!! fun grid, a bit of a challenge
6:30 am
Scrabbler
Oh, you were up really early and already attacking the grid.
6:30 am
lbdawger
just an hour ago. actually, a sleep in day.
6:31 am
Scrabbler
You are very disciplined to not chat until you are almost done.
6:32 am
Scrabbler
And I already had that word too. Free clue for lurkers.
6:32 am
lbdawger
not really, just the ocd! lol
6:34 am
Scrabbler
What are your plans for the weekend?
6:36 am
lbdawger
cleaning house, think some of my rooms are being invaded by a hoarder! just need to go through with a lot of trash bags and do some tossing.
6:37 am
lbdawger
now the real question is, will i get sidetracked and end up baking and doing other things lol
6:38 am
Scrabbler
I need to declutter too, particularly as I will be getting carpeting torn out and laminate flooring installed through much of the house in the next few months.
6:40 am
Scrabbler
It makes me ill to ponder the project and the cost, but it needs to be done.
6:40 am
lbdawger
ooh de-carpeting! I'd love to do that! I'd love to just get rid of the ugly carpet i have
6:41 am
Scrabbler
I have waited far too long, trying to save money, and now will just borrow the money, as I am going to install laminate flooring for about 1600 sq ft.
6:42 am
lbdawger
what kind of laminate are you getting? I put some pergo in my office. it's really nice and it was easy to install except for cutting some pieces, that stuff is HARD to cut.
6:43 am
Scrabbler
I have looked at Builder's Direct at some eco-friendly products. I have to decide on narrow vs wide planks and prefer a rustic look.
6:44 am
Scrabbler
I will hire someone to do it for me.
6:44 am
lbdawger
is there a home depot close by? check out and see if they are having a sale on the flooring AND if they have a credit card special going on. 10% or more off the price if you use the credit card. also there is a project loan that's available too, don't remember the interest but it's like 7%
6:45 am
Scrabbler
There is a Lowe's in the village where I work.
6:45 am
lbdawger
it can also include installing
6:45 am
lbdawger
see if Lowes has a similar deal
6:45 am
Scrabbler
Or I was going to have a private guy do it and support a local guy.
6:47 am
Scrabbler
I may get 3 estimates and then decide.
6:48 am
lbdawger
the installers usually are local. cheaper that way, and hd and lowes like to promote how they use "local" talent
6:48 am
Scrabbler
I live in a rural area and would like to support a local guy.
6:50 am
Scrabbler
I found an 8 and 9 by myself. I usually stop at 5 tiles.
6:53 am
lbdawger
go scrabs! most of the 8's and 9's aren't as hard as you would expect.
6:54 am
Scrabbler
There are six 9's! Are they all superlatives?
6:54 am
Scrabbler
Or have est in them is what I meant.
6:56 am
lbdawger
mostly plurals
6:57 am

Alright. TY. I must get ready for work now. Enjoy your weekend. I will see you tomorrow morning.

We were discussing french fries earlier in the week. If I'm going for something that grease related, I'm going somewhere good, like Five Guys. I wouldn't wast a splurge on McDonald's.

Not heard of them blah. Will have to ask about them. My intolerance is not bad. I just feel sicky after and can't eat much. I know there are people that are much worse.
12:15 pm
therealblah
anything dairy...they help break down the lactose in dairy
12:15 pm
cybernan
one of the things I love about travelling in Europe -- only fast food junk around is usually the golden arches and europeans won't tolerate crappy food precooked and reheated, I guess, because as a rule you don't find that there. No matter how small the restaurant things seem to be prepare from fresh ingredients when you order it and the seasonings are usually fresh as well, rather than dried.
12:16 pm
therealblah
and many products (like milk) are sold in lactose-free versions
12:17 pm
MLFAN17
blah this is true
12:17 pm
medusa
I get lactose free milk. I think it actually tastes nicer. Only thing is it is more expesive.
12:17 pm
therealblah
medusa you might want to try them....most places also sell generic versions that are fairly inexpensive
12:17 pm
dcseain
i take lactase because i hat the taste of the lactose-free dairy products.
12:17 pm
medusa
Will have to look into that.
12:18 pm
MLFAN17
that is kind of a bummer dc
12:18 pm
medusa
I love the products dc. It's the price I don't like! lol
12:18 pm
therealblah
the lactose-free milk tastes sweeter because the lactose sugars are already broken down
12:18 pm
MLFAN17
dc what about soy?
12:18 pm
dcseain
i have to minimize my soy intake.
12:19 pm

Now that I don't like fan
