Nice for tomorrow? Perhaps I misunderstand.
Today - Fat Tuesday - eat up all the eggs and sweets.
Tomorrow - Ash Wednesday - a day of fasting.
Do you celebrate tomorrow differently? Or are you not thinking at all about holidays and are just hitting the easy button for dinner tonight? (ETA easy OR breakfast-for-dinner)

I dunno, I enjoyed the commentators for the women's halfpipe tonight. Phrases like "ya gotta risk it for the biscuit" and a generally upbeat tone made it fun. Of course, the American gals kind of dominated the event, that may have had an effect.
The men's downhill skiing, tho... those guys seemed a little more highbrow in their comments.
I don't watch too much of the Winter Olympics, though. I can feel the cold right through the TV screen. And I do not like the cold.

They may be actually glad to have some appointment timebmade available for a more urgent case.
If it's not something you really need to do, I'd reschedule.

I thought the story was not only ironic but quite funny as well. Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you, came immediately to mind. the origin of the expression is also interesting.
Or, a twist on live by the sword, die by the sword.

What a horrible way for anyone to die - even a criminal. I don't see this as a fun thing to share.
True irony is rarely funny.

Could you switch your egg heavy meal to breakfast time and do other things for lunch? Boiled eggs can easily be ready to go. Lately I've been making a big pan of baked egg stuff on Sunday, cut and wrap in individual portions, and that's quick in the morning. I make it veggie-heavy (whatever combination I have on hand), with a little meat, herbs & spices, and about 9 beaten eggs - stir all together and bake in a well greased casserole dish.
Second to that, smoothies. Coconut milk or tea, vegan protein powder, frozen greens, frozen fruit. Easy to keep all those things on hand.
I like to have a green salad early in the day to make sure I get it in for the day.
And, bananas. I love bananas. That is a quick satisfying morning food. Eat it with a big spoon of peanut/nut butter for the dose of protein.
I also feel MUCH better when I'm not having bread. But yes, it's so hard to find new habits! Not sure how you'd like it for breakfast, but for other meals I've started keeping lettuce leaves on hand and using them instead of bread to wrap up stuff.

SAS is a brand specifically designed for diabetic/seniors. Not sure if they carry a running shoe, but the Propel line is what my folks buy.

Thankfully just a college kid and I. My oldest is at Army Basic Training, but will be back this summer.
We actually had beige carpet in the dining room when they were babies, but we primarily ate in the kitchen, so this will be different for us.
I hate having to buy a rug, but it sounds like the best option if we go with that house.
If you have an IKEA in your area, they often have some great prices on rugs.

We had carpet in our dining room when our kids were little. When they were really little and very messy I put a big towel under their chairs. Otherwise, it was fine. Agree with Seasider that a tablecloth will be better than placemats. Keep a good carpet stain remover on hand.
LOL I had a cheap shower curtain for the floor when I had twins in high chairs!

I would buy a rug to go underneath your dining table. You might also want to use tablecloths - at the end of a meal, folding up the edges and carrying the tablecloth out of the carpeted room can prevent a lot of bits from hitting the floor and being ground into the rug/carpet.

Am I the only one who loved Australia? I saw it in a theater with a big 60-foot screen and the cinematography was breathtaking. :wub:
I really wanted to love it. Does that count a little bit?

Please share what items/brands you like.
I realize I can make my own, but I'm trying to push the easy button here. Trying to have a few things on hand during a really busy season ahead.

I actually read that Jenny Lind's big number was dubbed. That actresss did a great job and can sing but to play Jenny Lind they hired a phenomenal vocalist
I think having her sing an Adele-esque song, in an Adele-esque register, was the right choice to convey "greatest singer in the world" to modern audience.
Yes - the actress and the vocalist were different. I agree that while I would have loved to see an operatic performance by the real Jenny Lind, the song from this movie's Jenny Lind *character* was right on target for the film style.

Not sure what your purpose for the bodysuit might be, but perhaps a dance supplier would have what you're looking for.

Teens I worked with used it to send nude photos to each other. It was once believed the pics couldn't exist after they disappeared but now there are ways to save them. When it first became big though this was one of the...uhmmm...uses for it. It was a real problem in our high school one year with boys sending their naughty bits to girls and vice versa with nobody able to prove it.
Yep. But seriously, there's no such thing as a disappeared photo when your sending it to someone who, if quick enough, can easily screenshot it and save the image to their own device.
FWIW, my younger kids had no idea SC was originally used in this way. It's just the thing their friends are currently using to communicate, so they do, too.

Is this the thread you mean? http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/209350-someone-please-toss-me-a-virtual-brown-bag-im-hyperventilating/
Yes, that's the original thread. I think a few months later there may have been another "whatever happened with this?" follow up but I do not remember any resolution. Thanks for linking. Still curious.
And...kalanamak. 😢

I'm still wondering about the person who heard voices after she went to bed at night. Last i remember she was going try to tape record. Then then the story went silent.

I haven't had many Sunday scheduled deliveries but a couple of those ended up coming on Monday with an oops email from amazon.

I was horrified at sopapillas at some restaurants! I want NO sugar, cinnamon, or powdered sugar on them! Just honey for dip!
Sounds like sometimes sopapillas get confused with beignets. Maybe that's a Louisiana-Mex thing? 😆

Flour tortillas are commonly used in Tex-Mex, while they are rare in most parts of Mexico--corn tortillas are lower in fat and calories and higher in fiber than flour. Different regions of Mexico have different cuisines (depending on local ingredients); so areas of Mexico have a number of fish dishes--fish is rarely part of Tex-Mex. Mexican cuisine will often include more fresh vegetables and fruits. Tex-Mex tends to be based upon rice, refried beans, flour tortillas, (or fried corn tortillas), and inexpensive cuts of meat--often on ingredients which were relatively inexpensive
In a word, authentic Mexican seems more "fresh" to me, lots of fruit, veg & seafood. But I admittedly have a preference for Yucatán cuisine. I hadn't really thought about the difference between coastal and central Mexican foods. Maybe I should schedule some research via restaurant in next week's meal plan. 😄
