Well, I did make dinner for the others.
Shake n Bake pork chops and baked beans.
Sure looked and smelled good, but I don't want to push it just yet.

I had cottage cheese seasoned with Lawry's and some mandarin oranges :glare:

.. tomorrow I shall eat like a pig..
Maybe.. :whistling:

Then Butch goes and mentions banana cake.
:yum:

:yum:

2 ½ cups sifted cake flour
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 ¼ tsp baking powder
1 ¼ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter softened
2/3 cup whole milk or half and half (may also use buttermilk for a little tang)
1 ¼ cups mashed bananas. About 3 large
3 Large eggs
2/3 cup chopped walnuts

In a bowl combine flour, sugar, baking power, baking soda and salt. Blend in butter, ½ of the milk and mashed bananas. Beat for 3 minutes or until well blended. Add eggs and remaining milk and beat for 3 more minutes or until well blended. Stir in walnuts.

Pour batter into a 13x9 or two 8/9 inch round pans and bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes. Cake will become a golden brown color this is normal because of the bananas. It is not burning. Toothpick in center should come out clean.

Top with a buttercream frosting once cooled. Bon appetite'
 
Getting ready to venture south.
May be a long day.
One thing's for sure, it's going to be a windy trip down 75.
High wind warning here until 6pm this evening.

We'll stop someplace and get a bite to eat on the way back.
 
Went out to renew my passport this morning. Came home to wait for the nurse to come change my dressings. This afternoon is off to a meeting to get info on a foster child we're going to be getting next week.
 
Trying to survive the high winds we are having. Just recorded a 51MPH gust with a steady 20-25 MPH. So far the power is staying on. Not sure to how long. This sucks and it's getting colder to add to the misery level. :sad:

We must live closer than I thought. Almost the same here 22 steady, gusts 40 to 45. Temp is 70. It was 16 a few days ago. All the trees and crape myrtles are beginning to bloom. Friday and Saturday nights are predicted to be around 20. Hope most of it survives!
 
Yesterday was a very windy day spent carefully driving to and from Dayton.
Some of those trucks looked like they were going to blow right over on I-75.
On the way home, we stopped at Culver's for burgers.

Today I've been busy doing laundry, grocery shopping and getting some other things in order.
Sausages and colcannon for dinner.

Funny thing in all my travels never ran across one. Looks good. Did I see chocolate banana ice cream next Monday?
 
I am sooo freaking bored right now... :/ seems like everyone has something going on right now but me... is that a bad thing? :/
 
Dinner was a success, especially the Colcannon.

Jane, Larry and Mike (their son) never heard of it before-- oh surprise! lol
Mike said no thanks when I told him it had cabbage in it.
Told him to shut up and try it since he's a mashed potato freak.
Guess who finished it off?:whistling:
Jane went to a purse party, the guys are watching tv and going through a stamp collection.

The cats are on the bed in circular mounds, sleeping and occasionally glancing my way - wondering if it's treat time.
 
Didn't lose power yesterday, but the water was out most of the day. We had a major valve malfunction and they had to shut the water off to repair it. Got it back by 5 this afternoon.

Played cards after dinner, but I have to take a shower before bed. I have to deliver meals on wheels tomorrow, if they have it since they didn't have power today and might not have it back by Sunday. And, I have to do our morning brunch.
 
Spent the evening in pain on the chair with my foot and leg on fire and ab muscles burning for some strange reason. Didn't do anything physical so unsure why.
 
The dogwoods and redbuds are in bloom. It's beautiful. I stepped outside with my coffee a couple of days ago when the wind was blowing a gale ... again. I thought at first that it was snowing but it was 'way too warm for that. It was the blossoms being blown off the trees. So, I guess that it is going to be pretty for a short time again this year. It's also time for the pine pollen to fly in the Piney Woods of East Texas. All the vehicles are covered in it already. Great time to have allergies.
 
Hit the grocery store this morning to scarf up of all the St Patty's day boiled dinner sales. Bought all the fixings for a meal of six.

Then I got lost in the cookie aisle. The wife needed to come and rescue me. :yum:
 
Sleep study last night, it appears I need a CPAP machine. I use the nasal thing and it worked thankfully. For full face I'd have to shave my chin whiskers. I think I feel more energy today from sleeping better. Not sure. Might be all in my head. I dread having to use that thing, but, if ya need it, ya need it.
 
Really want to hike up to one of my favorite spots today with someone.. but it looks like it may start to rain... but debating to just go anyway and embrace it... :unsure::ermm: I just want out of this house.. the weather has been bad for months and im just dying for some outdoor time.
 
I had escaped the colds and the flue here all winter, till last night.

Just trying to feel human today is enough for me. :mellow:

Regards, Kirk
 
Tried to move my boat before this big storm we are supposed to get. Didn't happen. Need new tires. Off to Tractor Supply to see what they have. Movie theater is right next door. Want to see if "Hidden Figures" is playing.
 
Going to get a few things ready for the big Nor'Easter snow storm coming on Tuesday. I just noticed online that the jet stream is coming from Russia, so this storm is Putin's fault. :yum::yum::yum::yum::yum:

No time to go watch movies Zeke. Gotta get them tires and boat moved. Hollywood can wait. :yum:
 
Been working hard these past few days and coming home really tired.
Like now.

As for the weather situation- they're calling for a couple of inches of snow between tomorrow and Tuesday morning.

Got some drama going on with my youngest son Ty and his lady (they still aren't married).
The thing that hurts the most is that the little ones are caught in the middle.
Don't know where it's going to go, but I've been giving advice as only a Mother should, and pretty much leaving it at that.
:neutral:
