That sounds yummy! So do you steam the cauliflower first and then cook everything together in a pan with the egg? Would olive or coconut oil work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Cinnamon did not want to go to her bunny bed. We had three of us (Juliet, Dd and I ) all herding her and she kept elluding us. Finally we got her cornered. Juliet gave her face a good washing with her tongue before dd was able to grab Cinnamon and cart her off to bed.

Wheres Toto Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Good Morning, Had to drop a car off for oil change so dh has to drop me off super early again today.

Wheres Toto Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Oldest dd came by last night to talk to dh about cars. She needs to buy a car, it will be her first time buying one. She currently drives the car we bought her when she was a Jr in high school. It's a Jeep Liberty with over 200,000 miles on it and is pretty much on it's last legs. Between work in one direction and school in the other direction (and far) she really needs a reliable car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I"m still not sure what I want to do with my first class today. They are little guys - 4 to 7 years old. I'm thinking either seed bombs (which I've done with other classes and will need to see if I have enough seeds), reactions (hydrogen peroxide and yeast and acetone with styrofoam - super messy), or ??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Good morning! Lynn, that's the worst. Maybe get in a nap today? My bathroom counter has been clean for 3 months. We have a field trip this morning to a nature reserve - we're going to learn about butterflies. Seems a weird season to be talking about butterflies, but I'm sure it will be interesting. My kids are often the oldest students on these field trips, but I am hopeful that they'll actually remember more of what is taught. And they seem to enjoy it. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! I was so tired last night that I went to bed before 10. (I usually go to bed between midnight and 1.) I slept soundly until 3 am. Then I was awake for several hours. I did get back to sleep for a little while, but I still feel tired. I may need to take a nap this morning. 😞 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!! I am up early this morning. I gots me a job interview in the Big City at 9:00am. Yes, I am nervous. Both about the job interview and the job itself. Going back to work for pay after 15 years is rather daunting. I’m excited, and with teenagers and going to Christian school and DS is going to be driving soon, there’s going to be more expenses, so we definitely need the $$ ,but.... I kind of like my footloose and fancy-free lifestyle. The tree guy is coming this afternoon. Not only do we have like 15 redwoods and/or pine trees on our lot, we have 4 mature palm trees that are in desperate need of grooming. Hmmmm, I guess it is good I may be getting a job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Seed bombs it is. I decided the other option was way too messy and I want to wait until dd can be here as an extra set of hands and eyes. I didn't want to drag her here extra early today when we are going to be here until 8pm tonight. Maybe next week. Whoo Hoo! A seed bomb booya!

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Tuesday morning musings- yesterday was my third 10,000 day in a row. It's going to rain for the rest of the week but I would like to keep it up if possible. I have been continuing to research the whole 10000 step thing and it's linked to lowering bmi and improving insulin resistance. I am tired of spinning my wheels on weight loss and bloodsugars (and that whole viscous circle). The bad: night time is very very painful. My joints were aching so bad last night. But nights tend to be painful no matter what, so maybe it is good to make the pain "count ". (Obviously if it seems to be leading to injury etc I will back off. ). In my experience the greater pain levels last for a month before my stupid body gets used to it. So 27 days to go. This is also why I am jumping from 6500 steps to 10000. I'd rather just go through the month of extra pain just once rather than each time I ramp up. The good: boy, I really hope that there is some good. I did feel more energetic over all yesterday and less stiff. Once I got up and around. And I got more done. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't need super low carb (and to make it more family and budget-friendly), you can mix half cauliflower/half brown rice. Add ground pork (or chicken or tofu), egg, and a bunch of veggies and it's dinner. You can stir-fry it in whatever oil you want. I tend to use peanut oil for Asian food, but I have used coconut and avocado oil, because I have them. Ghee is yummy, too, but I mostly use that for curries. I love food. Perhaps that's why I'm fat? 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Three hours?? Nobody is taking this thread seriously!! I had my interview this morning. I think it went well. I chatted away. I think I came across as very enthusiastic. That’s a good thing, I hope. Now, I will just wait. The tree guy came and went. I liked him. He’s going to groom our palm trees. Said everything else looked good, so that’s good. DS has orientation tonight at the Christian High School. So, I guess we’ll be doing that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 From Lori D.: I have to confess, this was the way I ran homeschool, too. Morning routine for kids was get up, get dressed, make bed, have breakfast, brush teeth, start school -- BUT, start by gently easing in with "together time" full of interesting odds and ends and fun "brain warm up" puzzlers. (The whining at our house came after lunch about having to finish up with afternoon subjects, lol. So that's when I instituted a second very short (15 min.) together time ofsomething fun to ease back into "round 2".) I'm kinda digging the idea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing on my calendar is to write, and that was for a specific project. Since I'm undiagnosed ADHD, my brain is working on three projects, my hands are working on two, so I needed to get that third project on paper. It's okay, it's all nonfiction, so I just may pull it off. 4 hours ago, JoJosMom said: What calendar do you use, Renai? That one is the calendar on my phone (Android).
