Good morning ladies! I would like to say it is cooling off, but that just isn't true so we are in for another major hot day. It was 102 at 4 pm yesterday and it really got the house heated up, mainly upstairs. It did cool down, but not til after bedtime. I am just glad we have all the extra fans that circulate the ac air.
Jean: I had to chuckle at going to kfc for slaw. Actually, they make a good cole slaw, but I really like the vinegar base and it is a lot more WW friendly that's for sure. How close is all that flooding to you? I didn't read the articles just saw the people in boats. Where is Bob going fishing he needs a passport, Canada??? You know they have those passcards now as long as you aren't doing international travel. In other words, if you are going to Canada, Mexico, Central or South America you can use the passcard. They are like an ID card and cheaper than a passport, but people who travel a lot overseas have to have a passport. We looked into it when looking at cruises.
Maggie: Thanks for the slaw recipes. I cut and pasted them into a word document and saved them in my recipe folder. I really wanted the recipe that Susan posted but thanks for the others too. I adore ham and love the spiral sliced ones. Does it do well being frozen after being removed in pieces? Do you put anthing between it or wrap it in anything when you freeze yours? I love navy bean soup make with hambone, but Jack won't eat any kind of soup beans but pinto and he has to have them the southwest way made with sugar in them...UGH!
Susan: Thanks for the slaw recipe. It is the exact one except my mom didn't put in mustard seed. I appreciate you finding it for me. I can now have cole slaw without all the calories. When you get to maintenance don't you have to play with points until you find the right amount that keeps you from losing more or gaining more? Since I have a longggggg time before that happens it is not something I am concerned about at the moment, but I think Jack was talking about his point total each day and how to manage it.
Well, I got my package from Land's End yesterday. The beach towels are huge as is the beach bag so that was great but the shoes have to go back. The material the open weave is made from rubs my toes and I know with water on them it will cause blisters so back they go. They weren't very expensive as they were on clearance so I won't get a whole lot back after they subtract the return shipping cost. My flip flops are supposed to be here today and they shipped my clothing and it should be here on Tuesday. That is what I am excited to see, the swimsuit and see how it fits.
I better get up and going. Had a rough sleep night and went back to sleep this morning after Jack got up so I need to get chores and work done before it gets too hot to manage it. Have a good Thursday! Faye
