Chicken fried steak w/home fries, green beans, hominy and cornbread now available on the warmer bar. Along with peach cobbler w/vanilla ice cream for dessert. Thanks for the suggestion, Tom!!
I can't remember what our high got to today; but, I do know that it was a very pleasant, warm afternoon. When I took my afternoon walk, I only had to put on a light sweat jacket. Very comfortable, while walking.
You all enjoy supper, and have a great evening. Joe, a container is ready for you for work tonight: it's in the fridge, waiting for you.
tree68 Modelcar finally get that mowing done. Can't mow until the snow melts..... I had planned on one more tour of the yard, though.

.....I'd bet it'll melt soon and you will get more chances at that mower Larry. And yes, Now I'm finished, yard mowed. Not a bad sunshiny day.

Chris, you are so right. When I had my stroke, my BP had fallen to about nothing and they pumped me full of saline to get it back up, and then it skyrocketed. Bam-stroke and let's learn to walk again... Normally, I am around 120/74 until this morning. Lower is definitely better, within reason of course.

It is high 60's here and a bit of a wind - like enough to mess up a hair-do. I sat out on the south side of house and had to come in and get a jacket. Keep telling Driver - remember we are going up to 70, not down from 70. (shiver)

.....Almost 2 pm....and 50 degrees. Clear blue and sunny skies. Guess It is warm enough to go out shortly and finally get that mowing done.
grampaw pettiboneMy blood pressure is acting weird too, 109 over 59. Everybody sez thats wonderful..... Seems low to me.
It is on the lower side of things. I'm generally in the 92/60 bracket which is also low. Because of that, I get temporary blackouts if I get up too quickly after a period of rest or something along those lines. I also tend to get "tunnel vision" and get close to blackouts on really good roller coasters, too.
It's definately better to be on the low side of things, though!

Tom: My Dad had a physical back in his 50's and the doc said: "Lay down, Man. You are dead." He had an incredibly slow pulse. Still going strong at 91.
Congrats Tree! And I am with judges - fruit pizza is just plain delicious! Nice change of pace!
WooHoo! My chili got 2nd place, behind a "Cuban Surf-n-Turf" and ahead of some "4 Alarm" chili.
I have the ribbon at my desk.
A fruit pizza won for most original dessert. Then again, how original is apple pie? It is popular, though!
Gotta find a quiet corner to sleep in....
Paula, how about chicken fried steak for supper this evening, along with peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. Quack sez that I don't have a sinus infection, and writes it off as an old fashioned MKI headache. Well, whatever it is, its the durndest thing I have had for quite some time. It's back to the tylenol 3 again, My blood pressure is acting weird too, 109 over 59. Everybody sez thats wonderful..... Seems low to me.
Whilst in the navy, I heard tell of a guy during WWII who was getting drafted.For 3 days before his physical, he drank cup after cup of coffee, trying to get his blood pressure up. He passed anyway, and went into the navy. In 1944, on Guam, he had a physical. The corpsman took his BP, and looked at it, took it again and looked at it, took it a third time, looked at and it left. A few minutes later, he was back with the doctor who took it a fourth time, and said. "Wow, as low as your blood pressure is, I'm surprised you weren't rejected at your preinduction physical".
I have some burgers, cheeseburgers, brats and sloppy joes ready for lunch; also on the menu: fries, cole slaw or garden salad, or chips.
Still in the process of baking pies, so that's why lunch is on the 'meager' side today.
Paula, the weather in Louisville for today is supposed to be fairly nice, according to the information I get from the Weather Underground. You will see a high of 63 degrees this afternoon. It is supposed to get up to about 67 here in Sioux Falls with partly cloudy skys......perfect fall weather if you ask me.
I don't have any suggestions for lunch, but I think when I get home from work this afternoon I will bake a couple batches of cookies to go along with whatever pie is available for our desert tonight.
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Good Thursday morning to one and all! Ray, thank you so much for getting everything going in here this morning! I slept in this morning, and seem to be moving in slow motion this morning.
We have a current temp of 37.4 at 8:39 a.m., and looks like we had a light frost last night. Can't remember what I heard our high is to be today, but I believe it's supposed to get up to 60.
Are there any requests for lunch and supper menu? Roy, I'll be starting to bake some more pies for the Cafe in about a couple of hours. There'll be lemon icebox, apple, peach, strawberry, cherry, and chocolate. Next week, I'll probably start fixing the pecan, pumpkin and sweet potato pies, getting a head start on Holiday Baking.
Morning all. 36 and clear in Carolina, up from 35 at sunrise. My headache is still with me, but I have a quack appt this morning for something else, so he can make it a doubleheader. Ray, thanks for the breakfast, and I hope everybody has a warm safe day. TTFN
mudchicken Chickens were off flying again ....I know of at least one surprised empty coal train crew that was a little surprised when they got buzzed head-on. They'll be talking about that for a while.

piouslion1Thought I would drop by to try out that pie, but alas the place was closed.
Alas, I think our landlord was having some issues. I couldn't get in last night, either.
The pie and cheese are ready! (Hope you like 3X cheddar - one step below "bite ya back")
Chili is simmering for lunch, too.
Good morning!
The coffee is about done brewing and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice. I've laid out a generous assortmant of rolls, donuts and bear claws from the Sunshine bakery. A bowel of pancake batter is ready for anyone who would like pancakes this morning. French toast is also available along with scrambled eggs and a sliced ham.
We have 46 degrees here in Sioux Falls. Does anyone out there have it colder than us?
I hope everyone has a good day!
Good morning

Thought I would drop by to try out that pie, but alas the place was closed. I was thinking that maybe a slice of lemon icebox pie with some fresh coffee would be good for desert one night.
Take care all

While I've never baked a pie before, I am a self-taught bread baker, and I use all the old fashioned, traditional methods in baking bread where everything is done by hand. I could probably teach myself how to make an apple pie without too much difficulty.
On a side note, when I was a kid and still living underneath my Mom & Dad's roof, we had an apple tree in our back yard and one of our neighbors to the southwest of us was Engine Company #4 of the Sioux Falls Fire Department. I used to fill a large paper grocery sack full of apples and I would trade them to the Fire Department for just a few candy bars. And these fire fighters would take my apples and make homemade apple pies with them! Fire fighters are good cooks and I bet that Larry would agree with me on this.

CopCarSS tree68 Gotta make sure I've got the sharp cheddar to go along with the pie, too. Tree - I did the Cheddar on Apple Pie thing for the first time when we did lunch at Bennett Lake, BC on the WP&Y. I was a little skeptical at first, but now can't imagine having Apple Pie any other way! Good stuff!

Chili - That reminds me, I have to make up a batch of "crock pot chili" for work for tomorrow. We're having a chili "cook-off." I make mine fairly plain. I'd imagine that at least one batch will be in the "four alarm" category.
Gotta make an apple pie for the dessert contest, too. That'll be more work than the chili. That's mostly opening containers and dumping things into the pot. I do have to brown the ground beef, though.
Neither will win awards for originality, but will probably still be quite popular...
Mookie- In the length of time that I have worked for Wendy's, I have seen the same people order our chili time and time again, so I know it's pretty good stuff. I go back to work tomorrow after having had today and yesterday off, and I might ask our new manager if I can take some of the chili home with me to reheat in my microwave for dinner......maybe I can bribe her with a loaf of my homemade bread. Normally I get a 50% discount in meals at Wendy's, providing I order a meal within a half hour before or after I begin working my shift.
Ray - Wendy's chili is a favorite with both of us. I order that with a chicken sandwich and a milk and savor every minute of it!

Tom, in and around the area of my left eye is where most of my
headaches (sinus) seem to start. Usually just discomfort and what
feels like pressure building up there. If it gets bad enough, I'll
usually get some O.T.C. sinus stuff; seems to take care of it
reasonably quickly.
Ray, Welcome back in; try not to stay away so long!
Duff; ; Hope it's a Great One!!
You need to come in and visit with us, and be sure
and bring Sadie!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Allow me to make the next pot of chili, CW. We serve a lot of chili at Wendy's and I make a good share of what we do serve. Our chili is allowed to cook for four hours before serving and it's really good!
Hey Duff, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
