AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 06/01

Just got back from a walk with DH. We spent the entire walk remembering our vacation from day 1 until we left Iceland on day 17. My memory is better because I journaled as we went but sometimes the hotels are fuzzy until we remember a certain thing.

Dinner tonight will be Tri-Tip roast. Yum! Oh, and I eat 1/2 of an avocado every day. LOVE them!

On the third day in Bergen, we took the funicular up the mountain and were greeted by spectacular views. And a huge troll!

Happy June! Where did May go?

It is raining so we are not going to any baseball or soccer games. I'll be honest, I'm not broken up over it. I think we are just going to spend a quiet day at home.

leannec devil's food is my favorite cake.

I don't hate avocado, but I never purchase it to use at home.

I really need to go to the grocery store. Doing that chore, or not, will determine what we have for dinner.

Have a happy Saturday, everyone!

Good morning everyone.

Neither dh nor I likes avocado. It looks good and it should be yummy, but ick. Am I kicked outta the club?

The actual floor will go in today. Dh is sanding down the underlay as I type. We chose a luxury vinyl plank floor w/gray tones. At some point dh has to do the Lowes trip that he's been threatening for a few days. He has to pick up the baseboards and then go to the paint store to pick up the paint for the baseboards.

I have a video card coming for my desktop that will make my game run really well. So, dh promised to install it as soon as it arrives. This was his idea. Apart from that I'll be working on my puzzle. Dinner will pork loin, crash hot red potatoes and a mediterranean veggie dish w/our freshly picked snow peas.

Enjoy every bit of today, tribe.

I love me some avocados. There is a sushi restaurant near me that has an appetizer of half an avocado stuffed with crab and lobster. I have to get one every time I go.

cadoodlebug I think you get the best pictures. I mean sure the view is nice. But the troll? Hell yeah. I would have been all over that photo op. 😉

I e been scrapbooking. I have two more months in 2023. Then onto 2024 in my PL. I've almost got this one done. But I almost feel like I cheated because I printed the photos on a day I was bored and my hand was useless. The printing of the photos is the part I hate. But I'll have to warm up my printer here Ina few minutes and get on with another month.

Happy Saturday! This is my second Sat. this week because I went through the entire day yesterday thinking it was Saturday. Didn't realize my error until bedtime!

Taking it easy today. Possible thunderstorms this afternoon so I need to get out and plant 4 new flowers that I bought. Just replacing some that didn't survive the storm a couple of weeks ago. After that I plan to just stay in my sewing room and work on projects.

Absolutely no clue what dinner will be. Last night we just foraged on our own so tonight we might go out.


   At the top of my list for most awful food there is!  

I had to wait in line with little kids for the photo op.

😂 you are on Pacific time. It's still morning for you. It's alright to stay tucked in. Karenlou and I are on eastern time and for me the day is almost half over with me having very little to show for it.

And I'll just tell you that I have a wee bit of a psychological issue with the idea of "wasting" time. At least 4 therapists have tried to beat it out of me. I'm picking and choosing my battles and considering this issue unsolvable and small potatoes.

If anyone is ever in bergen and takes the tram up the hill.. there is great hiking just behind cadoodlebug.. dh and I did that when we visited, found berries to eat, cute lakes.. and wandered around without a map and didn't get lost.

it is a great view..

i didn't get takeout last night.. it was make your own dinner. I had scrambled eggs.

so tonight is takeout.

I love this. Young at heart you are! ❤️

On my way out to Costco where I'll replenish the fridge & freezer - we're out of a lot of stuff. I'll pick up something to take to a picnic tomorrow, and somewhere I need to find some skirt steak for tacos tonight.

I don't love avocados on their own, but they're OK in small amounts, diced up in a salad, wrap, quesadilla, or stirred into tortilla soup. However, I LOVE LOVE LOVE guacamole - we make a pretty simple one with LOTS of garlic, a little onion, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash or two of fresh lime juice. It never lasts long in our house.

One thing I really dislike: DH dices a quarter of an avocado and adds it to his scrambled eggs of a morning -- the combination does not smell or look appetizing at all. I canot even be in the kitchen at the same time when he's making it - blech! But to each their own LOL!

cadoodlebug - we LOVED Bergen! We didn't take that funicular up the mountain, but we did a half-day boat tour around the fjords and it was lovely - saw a lot of waterfalls and it was just so refreshing. We also took a helicopter tour where we flew over a glacier, saw lots of the mountain "lakes" (runoff), herds of [rein]deer, some of the waterfalls from above and the Troll Tongue from above (which was nice because we were not about to do that hike!).

leannec & all the other avocado-haters -- when DS (who has always had a very wide-ranging palate) was a kid he saw me making some guac, and commented that he sure hoped I wasn't going to make him and his sister eat that "gross green slimy stuff". I promised him I wouldn't and that I would eat it all to spare him from it (LOL!) -- fast forward about 10 years...he and both sisters love the stuff now. (DH still won't touch guac, but he'll eat the diced avocado as a mix-in with certain things.)

Happy June everyone! Well, except for me, because 1st June = first day of winter. Boo!

I LOVE avocados! My favourite way to eat them is "smashed avo" on toast with poached eggs. I add some sliced chilli and goat cheese, salt and pepper, and it is divine! Every cafe in Australia has some kind of smashed avo on the menu, ranging from plain to ever-so-fancy with a ton of other ingredients.

I am loving your photos cadoodlebug ! It's good that you journaled as you went. I've been caught out before, thinking that I would remember the details, but of course you don't always remember everything. On our trip last year, I posted a lot of photos on Facebook, every day, with details of everything we did. It came in so handy when I started scrapbooking the trip, and making my travel video.

Also, the photo stores the location of where it was taken (if you have that setting turned on). There were a couple of times when I couldn't remember where a particular photo was taken - so many temples!! - so I looked at the Info and it shows on google maps exactly where it was taken, including the name of the temple / restaurant / lookout point etc.

I love this feature. It’s been so helpful for me.

We arrived home after a long travel day and picked up broasted chicken and potatoes on the way home. We are exhausted. Just placed a Shipt order for tomorrow as the fridge is EMPTY.

This may be the first vacation where we have all lost weight (we were not sick).
