Sorry I missed your birthdays Brenda and Fiona. Hope they were happy ones!
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Mm, that soup sounds good. Clipped!
I still have kale and pumpkin to deal with, but I think they can both wait at least a couple of days. And the pumpkins are decorative, meanwhile.

Punishingly Intricate
My head of broccoli was smallish so I roasted like a cup of cauliflower and a little kohlrabi along with and the soup came out thick and creamy! I think you could even leave out the cheese, really, if you wanted something totally vegan.

Successfully talked myself out of buying coffee at Starbucks when I have perfectly good coffee at home. Enjoying that now and trying not to be convinced by a cuddly Pumpkin to nap. Cause I have cleaning and de-acing to do today!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, she was very close to my mom's age, that always makes me a little anxious.
Yeah, I'm finding that, too. I think 70 is young now. I mean, young to be old, at least.
Ooh, that broccoli soup sounds perfect. Thanks!

Because books.
My parents are 70 and 71, so the whole thing freaks me out.
This freezing of vegetables thing is something I should try. Except our freezer is tiny.

The muffins are very tasty but look, um, not good and are kind of problematic as finger food.
t, what sort of low-carb or high-protein finger breakfast foods have you found? I'm having a hard time figuring out what I can eat for breakfast that isn't super carby, and I think I need to (not really trying to cut carbs, just trying to cut "breakfast that is entirely carb", which is most things I can purchase at the coffee shop)

I've been making these "muffins" that are meat and cheese and an egg-cream mixture, baked in muffin tins (silicone liners = awesome). A little greasy to eat with one's fingers, but slightly more manageable than a plate of bacon and eggs. Or, like Atkins bars and shakes, I rely on those pretty heavily, really. Oh, sometimes a chunk of cheese and a piece of fruit (not really low carb, but I figure one piece of actual fruit is always okay, because it just is, okay?) - no cooking, and no plates!
Disclaimer: I'll eat a piece of quiche with my fingers, too, so maybe my standards for finger foods are, um, liberal. One of these days I will get off my ass and buy myself some mini springform pans and make a bunch of mini quiches to have ready to eat.

Oh & lisah, thanks for the explanation. That's really quite cool.
Dad just turned 72, mom 69. Can't.
Now Loki is working his magic on me- paw massage and being a giant purring vibrating pillow. This may not end well!
