What's on your mind? (2025) - good way to start... even if a bit early... :-)

OK, I just TOTALLY snort-laughed in my office! Thank YOU for that very loud giggle!

I know almost nothing about InstaGram
 I think its a place where people post pictures??

Sunshine has a niece on InstaGram, and she wanted us to see a picture of her and her new boyfriend, but that is the limit of my exposure on the platform. I don’t know why the niece didn’t just email the pics to Sunshine – but OK.

I had to have a Facebook account for work. When I retired, I kept the account but made a slight change in my profile name. Someone out there challenged my legitimateness, I couldn’t prove my profile name with an ID, so I got kicked out. FB can be a real rabbit hole however, it was great for spying on certain activities going on with the ‘outlaws’. I don’t miss it at all. Who has the time?

Thoughts on this?

The first two fit my general notions that I’ve had forever. Except I’d add boredom eating to the hedonistic description (not a perfect fit, but it doesn’t go into the other two).

The third (biome) meets studies I’ve read over the past year or so as I became interested in fasting again.

Many! I am reminded of previous discussions involving satiety.

Joyous news for our boonie town: the recent addition of folks preparing Persian and Afghani food.

Can’t wait to try both :smiling_face:

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to all of you who celebrate!

Hopefully, you’ll enjoy a fabulous feast to welcome the Year of the Snake.

Dr. *** just made my day. Yesterday I had a colonoscopy and an edoscopy. Lower ok, upper revealed a hiatal hernia which is causing my GURD. I read my physician notes this morning and he called me delightful and said "She is chronologically ** but physiologically much younger than stated age. :blush:

So they can fix your GERD/GURD/GORD with surgery for the hernia??

Hmmm

That makes no sense to me. Wouldn’t the juices just evaporate/drip away?

Sweet!

I almost always cross-hatch breasts (boneless or bone-in) if there’s a marinade, like for Italian flavored breasts or what not. Not sure if it really matters all that much - I think it’s just something I got advice on 30 years or more ago and kept doing. But by analogy, I also cross-hatch a slab of round or whatever intended to be a London Broil before I marinade it. Probably for the same reason - I’m guessing my old Home & Garden cookbook said to do so.

I must have grown up in a non crosshatch home.

I’ve only ever cross-hatched duck skin.

I mean, that’s my take as well


Sorry GERD, don’t know where I got GURD. No, taking antacids.
