UP at 7:00 AM and the scale said 197.1 pounds… 190 is not too far in the distance now!
No kidding!
Great day today! Sue was up at 7:00 AM ready to go and it seems like the ulcer issues are starting to subside as she had little complaints about the tummy. Paul fixed scrambled eggs using egg beaters and threw in asparagus, cheese, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and some green onions right out of our garden!
Paul must think about dying his mustache black!
Most of the morning was spent doing simple chores around the house and Sue felt good enough to go for a drive so we went to the local wine store and got a case of St, Regis Chardonnay.
The St. Regis Chardonnay is a delicious, refreshing and elegant wine. The golden yellow color reflects its light, aromatic, happy personality that evokes floral and fruity notes of exceptional depth and flavor including apricot and pear. On the palate, this Chardonnay offers a well-balanced, broad mouthfeel that leads into a medium finish that can be enjoyed at any time with a wide variety of dishes.

We then went to Ralph’s market and to Staples (where Paul is now quite well known). After getting home, Paul did a consolidation of our vitamins and supplements. Getting everything organized in the house revealed we had three stashes of vitamins so they are now in two large plastic containers, one for Paul and one for Sue. If you know and squeaky fish, let us know… We found 2000 fish oil capsules between the three stashes!!
It’s 1:00 PM and Sue took a nap since she had been up since 7:00 AM. Paul attacked the old TV and component rack in the living room. He has been wanting to do this for years nad years!
The old component rack and TV was next to our 80″ flat screen and looked pretty silly! We finally got rid of our 29 year old Magnavox 28″ High Resolution TV (It was called S-Video in the day)… You know, the lable on the back said manufactured in February 1989! It still works quite well to this day but 28″? The power consumption on the back label also said 140W. It was a boat anchor!
We also got rid of three CD/DVD players, a 400 CD changer, a 250W AM/FM/Stereo Onyko receiver, a video-tape to DVD converter box, and an 8-track dual deck player/transfer unit!
The big deal was the solid walnut TV cabinet that held all this stuff! Paul moved all of it to the front year and posted a sign, “IT WORKS”. The cabinet must have weighed 300 pounds and it was a fight to get it out of the house, down two small stairs, and into the yard!
It was still working fine after 29 years but the 28″ screen and “Low Definition” was no loner needed
The front room really looks nice now! The big screen is by itself and is truly the center of attention!
Paul tried to fix quesadillas for dinner. A quesadilla is a tortilla, usually a flour tortilla but also sometimes made with a corn tortilla, which is filled with cheese and then grilled. Other items, such as a savory mixture of spices or vegetables, are often added, then they are cooked on a griddle. It worked out pretty well but the second time, tomorrow, will be the charm! Paul never realized how much cheese reduces in size when cooked in a quesadilla so it was a tad flat!
So two days ago, Paul used the 8″ knife to try to loosen some frozen tomato sauce and heard a “snap”… Yes, he broke the tip off Sue’s favorite knife! Without a word, Paul headed for the computer and ordered a new replacement form the same manufacturer. It arrived today and he found out how sharp a knife can be! Oops!
New knifes are dangerous things!
We watched a new Hallmark movie about cooking entitled “Cooking With Love”. Summary: Optimistic and cheerful TV producer, Kelly, doesn’t have time for love. Bad boy celebrity chef, Stephen, doesn’t have time for anything besides cooking. Fun with a side of love ensues as Kelly and Stephen are paired on a children’s cooking show…. It was a super movie.
Great movie and love the acting!
We did one episode of Grey’s Anatomy and crashed at the ripe young time of 10:30 PM.
