3:51 am

mind you, we are sticking to the new rules for the boy... he has to take care of his own needs, fully. It seems to work, and I want to avoid the notion that if he complies for a couple of days, things can go back to the old situation... with him not pulling his own weight at all.
3:51 am

how have you been lately, matty?

I was already here when it happened, but I'm still a New Yorker

Hi Trif, ruru!
12:19 pm
Trifioso
good morning cybernan!
12:19 pm
rururocks
hiya nan
12:19 pm
rururocks
no golf today?
12:21 pm
rururocks
the best kid name I ever went to school with was Crystal Lear.. her middle name was shanda
12:22 pm
Trifioso
oh GOD - what are some parents thinking?
12:22 pm
rururocks
hippies
12:23 pm
rururocks
and then there was Sherril Biggerstaff's Brother Richard that got a lot of attention
12:23 pm
rururocks
could have been Cheryl. I can't remember
12:23 pm
Trifioso
I have a kid this year named Dawson. His last name is Richard, so on forms he is listed as Richard Dawson
12:24 pm
rururocks
high school was a long, long time ago :D
12:24 pm
stidmama
(there really is a woman named shanda lear... daughter of bill, who created the lear jet)
12:25 pm
rururocks
no.. it's true.. I went to school with a girl that name
12:25 pm
Trifioso
not long enough, in some cases. I have one guy I went to high school with who is EXHAUSTING at every reunion I have attended. He has not changed at all. And he should.
12:25 pm
stidmama
I believe you, ruru -- slecorp.com
12:25 pm
rururocks
I went to ONE high school reunion.. that was it for me for life. I hated my high school
12:26 pm
stidmama
I don't go to reunions. If I am not still in contact with someone, I probably don't want to be.
12:26 pm
stidmama
*standing with ruru on this*
12:26 pm
Trifioso
I have been to a couple, but skipped some too
12:26 pm
stidmama
I should change out my icon. brb
12:26 pm
rururocks
I really didn't fit in .. in my high school
12:26 pm
Trifioso
to my delight, I have found some people to be so much more than I ever knew - made a couple of quite good friends later on with people I was not remotely friendly with back in the day
12:27 pm
rururocks
that's nice when it happens trif
12:29 pm
rururocks
hey ori ..did you try any of the wines?
12:32 pm
rururocks
nan are you still here?
12:33 pm
cybernan
yes --- didn't get very far last night, so have my nose buried in the grid :-)
12:33 pm
rururocks
I was going to respond on quiche fillings for you.. I have been making some of late.. trying new things
12:33 pm
stidmama
okay, that is done. Not going to play today, this cold is kicking my ar4. Have a good rest of your day, folks. *poof*
12:33 pm
rururocks
bye stid.
12:34 pm
cybernan
great --- and the the one you like best?
12:35 pm
rururocks
so far.. tiny squares of Ham, little bit of cream, and shaved English cheddar and green onion rings..
12:35 pm
rururocks
I also did a bacon/gruyere and walla walla onion quiche that came out really well
12:36 pm
cybernan
how much cream/egg? --- tried a recipe last week that used milk in hopes of cutting calories, but didn't like it. Did you use part milk?
12:37 pm
cybernan
ooh - love the sound of the latter
12:37 pm
rururocks
4 eggs.. 1/8th cup of cream.. with a little milk too.
12:37 pm
rururocks
if you saute the onions ahead of time it's better even
12:38 pm
cybernan
ok - will try that -- suspect it is a matter of getting the perfect balance of milk and cream. Yes I usually saute the onions first (raw onion and I don't get along)
12:39 pm
origami
Hi ru ... yes, I tried the 2014 Macon-Uchizy and it is lovely!
12:40 pm
origami
that quiche sounds good
12:40 pm
rururocks
most recipes require a cup of milk with half and half.
I like to use a lower amount of milk and just a little cream that adds richness
12:41 pm
rururocks
oh good. glad you liked it. You're going like the Clos de la Crochette better
12:41 pm
cybernan
I use a sour cream pastry, which is loaded with calories also, but I prefer it for savoury dishes
12:41 pm
rururocks
the Clos de la Crochette is the oldest Chardonnay site in the world.. the romans planted it there.
12:42 pm
origami
Looking forward to it too bad it's not 5:00 now :-)
12:42 pm
rururocks
ha.. if it's warm today it will taste better
12:42 pm
rururocks
i haven't been outside yet
12:43 pm
origami
Only supposed to get to 78 here today. Perfect!
12:44 pm
rururocks
the uxhizy is richer and deeper than the Crochette.. i think you'll like the latter more based on what you said
12:45 pm
rururocks
can you eat shrimp? that would be perfect with it
12:46 pm
origami
Yes, I love shrimp. Maybe a garlic scampi with angel hair pasta ... yumm ...
12:47 pm
rururocks
that would be a perfect pairing
12:48 pm
cybernan
mm - shrimp and lobster quiche?
12:48 pm
rururocks
i'm having a salad tonight.. going light :D
12:49 pm
cybernan

12:51 pm

marinated chicken breast with mixed baby squashes on the menu tonight here
12:53 pm
Glantarell
evening all. roast cauliflower, with bacon wrapped cheese stuffed chicken breast, and buttered cabbage here. yum.
12:54 pm

sounds like none of us are going hungry tonight :-)
12:54 pm
Glantarell
aren't we all lucky
12:54 pm
origami
I love roasted cauliflower.
12:55 pm
Deeha
please stop talking about these mouthwatering recipes you are making me HUNGRY!!!
12:55 pm
Glantarell
it is the very first time i have roasted it, took longer than I thought
12:57 pm
cybernan
best part for me is it is a cook free night other than a few beets --- made the pies last week with some roasted chicken left overs and froze them
12:57 pm
rururocks
sliced heritage tomatoes, burrata, basil, shrimp and a balsamic dressing here
12:58 pm
origami
had to look up burrata. sounds wonderful.
12:59 pm
cybernan
what is burrata?
1:01 pm
rururocks
a soft creamy mozzarella cheese
1:01 pm
rururocks
spreadable
1:02 pm
cybernan
Do you get balderson cheeses in the states?
1:03 pm
rururocks
no.. i don't know those nan. i am a big of a cheese monger
1:03 pm
rururocks
bit of a ... sorry
1:04 pm
cybernan
Balderson makes aged cheddars: 2, 3 and 5 yrs. They also make an aged spreadable cheddar that is delicious.
1:05 pm
cybernan
The next time you are in Canada, you might want to try some
1:08 pm
rururocks
i will.. i will be up next spring again.. going to Tofino and the queen Charlotte island
1:09 pm
rururocks
or Haida Guai ? can't remember how it is spelled.
1:09 pm
cybernan
you will find it in SaveOn --- Costco too (one of the few good things they have up here)
1:10 pm
cybernan
Haida Guai is the new name for the Queen Charlottes
1:10 pm
rururocks
i don't do Costco.. can't stand the place
1:11 pm
rururocks
it looks incredibly beautiful up there.. trying to figure out how to get up there and where to stay
1:14 pm
cybernan
For some reason my chat entries have changed to right alignment
1:15 pm
cybernan
don't know how to change it back
1:16 pm
MollyL
Costco and other stores like it are not cost effective for single people or small families.
1:17 pm
cybernan
It is very remote, ru -- not sure that there is much choice as far as places to stay go. Very wet too -- pack a rain coat
1:18 pm
rururocks
ah.. i don't mind rain if it is beautiful
1:19 pm
rururocks
i agree Molly.. Costco is just too much for one person.. i never go there.. it's too weird anyway... who needs a 55 gallon drum of peanut butter anyways :D
1:21 pm
cybernan
I use Costco for staples - paper towels, bottled water, vitamins, printer ink and paper, whole filet and fresh veggies in winter (they are so much cheaper than the grocery stores that it doesn't matter if I through 1/2 of them out)
1:21 pm
cybernan
*throw out
1:23 pm
MollyL
Ah, I've got a big thing against throwing out unused food and household items. That would not work for me.
1:25 pm
cybernan
yes well -- I don't throw out much, but when you can get 2 pounds of blueberries for the same price as 1/2 pound elsewhere, I go for it
1:27 pm
Glantarell
Ruru - have you looked on Airbnb to see if there is anywhere in the area you want to visit? You get the added bonus of local knowledge.
1:28 pm
rururocks
no.. i'm not an airbnb type person.
1:28 pm
MollyL
I was just going to say that I don't see Ru as an airbnb person.
: D
1:29 pm
MollyL
Nan, why not freeze the blueberries you don't use?
1:29 pm
cybernan
Glan Haida Guai is populated by First Nation settlements --- not sure if there are any motels or hotels, let alone B&B's
1:31 pm

2:40 pm

The condition is not usually treated immediately if you're not experiencing symptoms, although your health will be regularly monitored.
Treatment can help relieve symptoms and prevent the condition getting worse
2:44 pm

So it sounds like it can be stopped from getting worse!
2:46 pm

Thanks zoom hope so alto I do have symptoms which is why they tested me. I have a very good consultant who is a byword in this area for her successes
