I wanted to do a quick stove top casserole with pasta. I assembled all the ingredients but for the life of me I couldn't find the ranch packet! So ok, modify. I know what goes into ranch so I added from the spice cupboard. Made the dish....meh, it's ok but not really. A bit dry. Ick. Stuck it in the fridge till the next day to think about how to fix this very big batch of barely edible pasta and cheese. Too expensive to just throw out. So I got a pot, added chicken broth, velveeta (the savior of many a dish) warmed up peas, carrot, broccoli bits and some left over chicken i found in the freezer. When I warmed some up I added a half of a crumbled cooked burger patty! Oh how to describe the difference, WOW, it turned out fan tab ulous!! Adam went for seconds!! I was able, barely, to not go for seconds! Here's the original recipe https://pin.it/O2FN0tYJM

Just learned how a Russian man, a mason, saved several of his neighbors in 1860's because of his knowledge of building a Pech, pronounced pech ka. A masonry wood stove built with 8 inch bricks. You cooked in it and slept on it. I love it, it's amazing. Russian stove - Wikipedia https://share.google/wikCpv6aV6i5t2H0a

I did see the jet stream change, very strange. Cold air going so low.

Yes, I saw your raised garden. I did several of those at my last home.

Linda, that's gorgeous, I bet you'll miss it, but maybe not the maintenance? 🙂 What's in the planter box back there?

Last I heard, about 1pm, it's stalled over warm water gathering water and power, when it hits land it's going to be bigger than Katrina. Ive never experienced such a storm but did see the aftermath in the Carolinas, it'll take years. Tragic. Then I've been seeing all the volcanoes, earthquakes etc, many people are talking about 'end times'

Im so ready to visit your area. Im from the Pacific NW of the US, it's so overrated. The beaches are brown, it's cold and tourists leave 30 trash bins of garbage every year. So glad I live in Tennessee now! Look forward to seeing your part of Jehovah's world.

Yes

Oh gosh, really. Every area has a 'thing'. My new area has a 'Baptist' thing. But truly, I love the color of your oceans, so beautiful. I'll come visit in the NS, save a room for me 🥰

You live in a beautiful place.

He's well, just tucks his head in a bit 😆. He'll see this thread and maybe come out of his shell 😄

Its not my weather but hurricane Melissa heading to Jamaica and Haiti, is cat 4 now going to a 5. Tons of rain. Pray for our brothers there. But after that it heads to Florida!

I remember when my Ragdoll Siamese cat ate so many flies he threw up! 😯

I'm convinced this one fly thinks he's my pet! He's relentless! I don't even have a fly swatter where I live. A consolation is that they only live a day or two. Never been so happy to lose a pet 😆

Isn't it irritating when you have a fly in the house, a whole house, and all it'll do is fly in your face and light on you. It won't leave you alone! I have 2 and a nap is proving a lost cause 😅

Im so happy to not live here anymore. I went through 2 of these storms, felt like Noah's day all over again. 😀 Seriously, it's a wretched weather event. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/weather/california-oregon-washington-atmospheric-river-forecast-rain.html

Yup, me, can..not..stand..them!

It wouldn't surprise me much if the wars keep going on in those countries. They're war-like qualities are so ingrained. Its they're whole existence. They have been like this for generations. IMHO for us to understand how they could be like that would be as hard it would be for them to understand or appreciate what peace is like. This is what I feel when I see them ignore any attempt to cease fire or make peace, they instigate another issue that makes others react in kind, never ends.

Go to YouTube and type in 10 Impossible Inventions That Were Erased It won't allow me to paste a link, it won't even allow me to paste a synopsis. I knew a few of them, as you may as well, but some were eye-opening.

This is shocking. Peace is really being pointed to. 5

Thank goodness we're not involved in any of that political drama. Its gonna happen, whichever way they choose to do it. Personally I choose to not be overly concerned. Jehovah’s GOT THIS! But that said please don't misunderstand, I love any info that could pertain to the end of this system. One day it'll happen and I hope I'm here to see it.

IKR! So many going. Are we really that old???

Wow, this is a shocker. I didn't realize she was 79. Diane Keaton dead at 79 https://share.google/C3QSZt7OOOtprK5uX

You couldn't force me to go anywhere on a holiday, nope, nada, not happenin'. Haven't left home on a holiday for years.

AMEN!! Bring it on.
