Sugar Free Saturday

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Morning! It's great that SS is learning about sugar content. Maybe next year he can do a presentation in school about sugar content in drinks. I don't think kids realize how much sugar is in a 16 oz bottle of soda.

Woke up before the alarm. Getting ready to get my final packing done and hitting the road.

Have fun SB! I have family and friends coming for a cookout to wish DS goodluck. He moves Monday.

FNW · Guru

That's great, NJN, about DS!

SB-have a nice time, safe travels!

IKWTDS, enjoy your time with DS before his pivotal moment.

Today we have things to do in the yard. Our new patio lounge chairs arrived and Mr. FNW needs to put them together. He did one last night and it's nice. THere are some bushes to trim, bushes to remove, and the table needs tightening as it's a little wobbly. The tree guys come Monday to remove all our White Pines in the backyard. About 20 of them. We're replacing them with large hollies, Green Giants, and cryptomeria for privacy.

Yay for SS, NJN.

SB, have fun.

IKWTDS, enjoy today.

FNW, sounds like a busy day.

Mom took Jesse and Aaron to run around today. Caitlyn is in Kentucky and dad is out doing his Saturday stuff.

I'm here. And I'm hungry.

Great news. The humidity is down. It's not miserable out side.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Hello all! SS spent the night with DN and we are going over later to pick him up and have dinner.

I woke up in the middle of the night with my knee swollen so big and was in tons of pain. I think I have fluid build up on my knee again. I hope not because it hurts like hell when they remove the fluid. I got up and took a PRN pain pill but then laid in bed in pain until it eased and I could sleep.

Unintentional lazy day here. I am sitting here trying to redo a school report because I know I did it wrong and also copied some stuff and missed rewriting it (very close to plagerism - just got reprimanded from professor on it too). And I cannot write or edit anything coherently. Or, mostly, I am just staring at it. This massively sucks. I feel so low right now with this. And my brain is foggy. I think it is because I do not understand this class very well. It is about volunteer administration. I really wish this class was not a requirement. I don't want to take it later or again.

Went to the coffee shop today. At first I thought this weird old man was staring at my boobs. Then he asked what the Hypersomnia foundation is. He was trying to figure out the logo on my shirt lol

Oh, I know. It was unintentional. I am usually more careful. I just, I don't know, I can't seem to care about this class. I am second guessing myself constantly. And rushing to get it done at the last minute so I am not as careful about my editing and citing. I don't even realize I am doing it. I know this info about the organization I am writing about but just can't get it out the way I want to. I used the agency's wording to get the basic idea in where I wanted it and never went back to put it into my own words.

I cleaned out both bedside tables! When I say that I mean I cleaned out in and around and behind them. They've become holding cells for everything we don't want to deal with. I filed the important papers that need to be kept, shredded the ones that needed it, and trashed the rest. Then I did a massive dust job. I'm amazed with myself.

WooHoo for getting it done! Sounds like your entire house will be in order very soon.

I had a huge stack of papers near my bed. I would go through them and just put them next to the bedside table. It was quite a stack. I kept saying I needed to do it but hadn't. It looks so much better! We all have those little places where clutter sits.

Paraphrase, then it is not plagiarism. Just give credit when due.

Ugh. I went to the grocery store and am just now realizing I must have forgot 2 or 3 bags there. Among other things, the stuff I left was everything I was going to make breakfast with tomorrow. My back up was waffles.. but I am out of syrup, the new syrup? Left at the store as well. And the Baby is already asleep, not going to wake her to go get it.

Ditto!

Yes. It's a fat just like butter.

The first time I had it, I was eating with a friend. His Momma kind of made me try it. They are from a small town in Mexico. She insisted. It was good.

It isn't a lot. Just enough to make the paprika stick.

It doesn't taste good with butter.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

And cut it off the cob and mince up chili peppers and mix in with it. So good.

Corn doesn't taste good with butter? But it tastes good with whipped eggs and oil on it?! Yeah, no thanks.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Paprika and butter on corn isn't good.

The mayo doesn't really taste. That's how little you use. It's about the paprika.

Butter changes the taste of the paprika.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

So don't use anything. Paprika is a powdered spice. I bet it would stick on the corn just fine by itself. I just cannot imagine putting whipped eggs and oil on my corn. No thanks.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Maybe it's just here but the corn we get here is so sweet you don't really need to put anything on it.

I really don't understand why it matters so much to you.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Same here. Now once in awhile you get the bad stuff. And what's locally grown is not "people corn" it's grown for feed or to be made into HFCS. But sweet corn in general doesn't need a thing on it. I put a little butter on it because I like butter. Lol

Because it triggered my gag reflex! If you want to eat mayo-corn, knock yourself out.

I've said before, I have an uncle that grows a sweet corn you can eat right from the stalk.

It makes the best cream corn.

You seem incredibly invested. You are trying to tell me how to eat.

What is your problem?

It's a difference in taste.

Tangerine · Guru

Sweet corn? I'll have butter and pepper on mine, thanks. Husband likes Louisana hot sauce on his.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Ever shake some dry ranch mix over it before grilling?

That's pretty good too.

Yep. It's a thing.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

It might be a thing. Lots of things are a thing. That doesn't make it right. It still makes me gag.

And sheesh Lily I am not telling you how to eat. I am just telling you that what you eat doesn't sound good to me at all. At all.
