Americans are getting stronger; twenty years ago it took two people to carry ten dollars’ worth of groceries\u2026 today, a five-year-old can do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been retired 618 weeks as of today! Every day seems to get better if you exclude old age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather is a little unpredictable…the sun is out and it is misting heavily. I decided not to walk today as sure as I leave the house, it will become a major storm and rain cats and dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time for errands so I popped in the Grey Ghost and headed to the imaging center, had to get MRI DVD for the shoulder appointment on Wednesday. I am getting so old that I feel like the paparazzi are chasing me…every time I turn around I am getting an X-Ray, CT-Scan, MRI or something else!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always get interesting results from the scans\/x-rays<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coming home, I did a dry-cleaner fly-by with all the Christmas clothes in hand! Really all I needed was the tux for Friday evening Rondeliers. Then off to the scavenger hunt! My scavenger hunt was centered around the ingredients for mushroom soup and garlic soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Champagne vinegar the list read… Champagne vinegar…sounds like an oxymoron! Then it said Sherry Vinegar…that was not too bad. The list said HEAVY CREAM but in the store all they had was HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM. I had to as a nice lady..she laughed at me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
I was terrified… More research on the shopping list next time!
However, I got to meet a lot of nice older ladies who liked helping a desparate husband!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am so confused! I just got the heavy whipping cream and decided it had to do!<\/p>\n\n\n

Did You Know?\u00a0Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are essentially the same thing, and both must contain at least 36% or more milk fat. Whipping cream, or light whipping cream, is lighter (as you’d expect) and contains 30% to 35% milk fat. … Heavy cream will whip better and hold its shape longer than whipping cream.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

I made it home..barely! Loaded with goodies, it is time to cook! We spent about three hours cooking which we dearly love. Sue is quite the chef…I am the sous chef, prep-cook, clean-up boy and taster! I get all the fun jobs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now that the brocoli soup is done, we attacked the mushroom receipt and the garlic soup receipt! After we were done there wan not a vampire within ten city blocks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
