Hello everyone got back from the cruise. Photos to follow. Had a great time ate to much food.

Hello! I was wondering today when you would be back. I think they're about to go through another tropical storm though. I'll be praying.

I went for my annual physical this past Monday. I always go for the blood test prior to the physical so that I get the results while I'm there. I'm ok too, with the exception of a bit too high cholesterol, but at my age there's really no reason to try to do anything about it. The blood test showed vitamin D a bit too low, but I spend so much time out in the sun I hate to take pills for something like that. So it's just going to have to be low. Maybe I'll sit under my tortoise's UVB light for a while.

I understand your neighbor's mind set, as I'm there too, however, I hate to take advantage of anyone so I never ask favors from my daughter or son-in-law, and I've avoided getting to know my neighbors because I like to be alone. I really look forward to my tortoise partner's visits because that's one of the things he comes up for - to help with the 'heavy lifting' I'm getting too old to do. But he knows NOTHING about computers, so if I ever have those type problems, to the shop I go!

Your vitamin D problem sent me looking because I can't get outside very much. I found out that a lot of tort food is high in it. Includes one of my favorites okra. Then greens like spinach, kale, and collards...probably more. I love salmon and it's on the list among other fish and seafood. A lot of it I already keep here in canned food. I only cook canned salmon because I can't even come close to my son's recipe for fresh salmon. I know I'm ridiculous but I want to be here for Saphire and others soo...

I just cooked up a big pot of Collards a few days ago, but more than likely all that boiling (over 2 hours) cooked all the vitamins right outta' it! Ate the whole pot myself too. I LOVE collards and ham.

I've never tried okra. I like spinach. Never tried Kale. I'm not big on uncooked veg, and I'm not sure how much of the good stuff it maintains after cooking.

I eat tuna about once a week, but never salmon.

I'll do a little research. Thanks for the suggestions.

Never tried okra ??? That’s unamerican! Do you like pickles? If so, put some fresh okra in pickling vinegar and add a couple tablespoons of balsamic vinaigrette dressing.. add a little of your favorite seasoning and let it set in the fridge for a couple days.. then you’ll have a super healthy & enjoyable snack.. also really good with peeled and sliced garden cucumbers.. just not as nutritious

Happy Saturday all. Our cool day is over, back to a warming trend. Mid to high 80 degree days again.

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning and Happy Saturday . We still have some major heat down here. It’s a nice 74 this morning headed for the upper 90’s again today. I’ve got a bridal shower for one of my “adopted” kids this morning in north Louisiana and then leaving straight from there to Kirby Arkansas for one of the last lake runs this year. Hubby left ahead of me yesterday. I’ve got to get all the critters settled in but we’ll be back tomorrow so it will be short n sweet hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks, yes they are supposed to get 4 to 6 inches of rain. The weather was wonderful for us. On the way home there were some rough seas. Not awful though when you were in a confined room ( bathroom, elevator) it seemed worse. But the slow rock put me to sleep like a baby at bedtime.

Okra is unamerican? Jambalaya has okra in it. Or did I get into the post midstream ? I love the pickled okra idea. Did Pickles come up with the recipe?

 

[Ray--Opo]

Goodmorning everyone, waiting for Opo to wake up. Hope everyone has a great day. I have a honey to do list but today I am not even going to look at it.

 

[Blackdog1714]

Sorry for a Yankee such as myself-even after living in Virginia for 20 years I can't eat okra.

I meant Not having okra is unamerican... lol.. and Nahhhhh, I was pickling long before Pickles came along [emoji23]

Yeah, I'm with you on that! I chop it up for my tortoises occasionally, and I have absolutely no interest in giving it a try.
