And you?

[Turin_C3PO]

1. Trying to get up the courage

to do the dishes from today's cooking.

[malaise]

2. 77F

Light rain in Kingston - very pleasant

[Blue_true]

14. Not as warm as you, put I changed into shorts after getting home. Now cooking dinner.

[malaise]

18. Home made ginger chicken with hosein sauce

carrots, celery - served with noodles - dinner is always early here - dishes washed- PHEW!

[Blue_true]

21. That meal sounds good. I normally eat earlier also, just had a long day. nt

[malaise]

32. Fruit before walking in the morning - coffee, coffee coffee then

late breakfast, broth around two and early dinner - nuts, fruit or something sweet (chocolate/pastry) as a late snack if needed.

[Blue_true]

41. My body is very sensitive to calorie and water load.

If I eat too much, too much fat or carbs, or eat too late, I am in for a hard night. Since I ate late today, I had a pan seared pork chop and tortilla chips, believe it or not, that will allow me to sleep tonight, my body is friendly to meat that is not too fat, so it doesn’t give me grief for eating late. If I undershoot on calorie load, I normally wake up sometime during the night, typically eating a cookie or a few cashew nuts get me right back to sleep and I don’t notice any sleep loss effects the next day - I had to learn that stuff about my body and it changes as I age, eating meat used to give me grief, now my body is very friendly to it, as long as it is not too fat.

[malaise]

43. I drink a lot of water

and coconut water. I only eat seafood and bird - no red meat since 1979.

[Blue_true]

44. You seem to have evolved to what works for you.

Poultry, especially white meat chicken, tends to be really mild on the digestive system.

I envy your ability to drink lots of water. I can’t get past 64-70 ounces a day, and even the last of that is forced.

[electric_blue68]

26. Oooo, I haven't had Hoisen Sauce for a long time

[malaise]

31. Never without it

So easy

[electric_blue68]

35. Well, when it's safe to go back to Chinatown I'll

pick some up.

I used to cook Chinese decades ago. Went down to Chinatown in Manhattan ( now there are 2 more, one in Queens, one in Brooklyn) bought a wok, untensils, steamer. Among vegetables over time got dried shitake mushrooms, whole water chestnuts, lotus root, boy choy (now you can find it typical American supermarkets), Chinese cabbage, peanut oil, hoisen & oyster sauces, good soy sauce.

Oh, I had w lot of fun. Usually some kind of meat with lots of veggies. 😁

[malaise]

37. Wow - sure looks good

Must have been fun - most of that stuff easy to get around here and one of the shops opens at 7.30am so it's safe for old folks like me.

[electric_blue68]

39. My regular supermarket has bok choy...

but not the other Chinese veggies, or sauces, nor good soy sauce .

I'd have to buy a new wok, too.

I think I'll stick with trying to cook 💖 Indian again which I never got around to doing much of.
I've read about making your own small tandoori oven!😄
Maybe for outdoor only.

One my absolute favorite cuisines because I love all forms of it - meat, meat & vegetables, vegetarian, and vegan. I've had all of these. I just don't eat really spicy heat in any cuisine. I love savory, not heat.
I can eat a little cumin, a bit of red pepper flakes, a bit of the low end of hot peppers.


Not an early riser at all. Not sure any place in my little nabe has early senior hours

[calguy]

3. I'm trying to figure how I'm going to survive the week end

with no football.
Sad.

[keithsw]

4. Wife and I

Ate a heavy lunch. So we are just having a salad tonight

[PirateRo]

5. I ordered a sammich on grubhub

And I tipped the delivery guy well.

[drray23]

6. back home sipping coffee. Was out hiking in the woods with my wife. Still snow on the ground

Temp was 31F with 26F wind chill but the area is gorgeous. We have a farmhouse and our home backs to about 450 acres of woods and fields. We are supposed to get more snow starting sunday and into monday. So tomorrow, I have to make sure our emergency generator is ready to go. We often lose power when we have significant snow. Trees snap and break power lines. We are not setup for constant snow unlike up north.

[SWBTATTReg]

[LizBeth]

7. What are you picking up? Beautiful here in upper 40's overcast as often in NW. Stocked

kitchen to do an all weekend watch of The Wire. My son insisted I start watching last night and stayed up way late,. Excellent series.

[Dem2theMax]

8. 50 degrees and pouring rain. We need the rain!

And my stomach is growling, and it's way too early for dinner. But I think it's going to win.

And I'm in San Diego County.

[handmade34]

10. zero, wind chill -10

[Drum]

Brrrrr
I’m having leftovers and staying indoors, while my wife is down in NYC

[procon]

13. Steaming hot bowl of leftover tomato veggie soup and

And a grilled ham and cheese Sammy. It's not too cold (47) but I still feel chilled to the core and looking forward to the hot soup to warm me up.

[cwydro]

16. Soup and homemade bread.

Cold in NC too.

Probably an early night.

[Chili]

17. about to watch my Cavs play your Knicks

...although your nic is Brooklynite, so you might prefer your Nets!

[Meowmee]

19. It is freezing here too on LI

I ventured out earlier in my robe and coat etc. to view a repair done while I was asleep and get the mail and change the water dishes etc. I may go out for a walk later if I am brave enough. I have to be careful that my insulin does not freeze. Food: I stocked up well this week after another 10 day covid quarantine. We still had enough frozen supplies from before fortunately. For me it will be grain and gluten free siete tacos, chicken, cheese, bertoli basal alfredo sauce, mozzarella, very low carb yogurt, cucumbers and some, apple and a grain free peanut butter cookie.

20. Chicago area about 31. Wind chill 20..6 to 9 inches of snow for tomorrow afternoon..

...I do not mean to offend anyone...but, according to the Date...Jan 29 ...it is the coldest part of
the winter, the next two or three weeks..

Once about this time of year...was it 79?? don't know...the temperature was 13 below, and the wind chillwas a minus 80 below zero.........................................................
I thought I was brilliant then ...(now I know this was not brilliant, but very very stupid ) ..
...so I suited up with layer upon layer and jogged a mile or so up and down the street.(wind chill -80)
..well...........as I have said often before................STUPID IS INDEED STUPID!!!

[lynintenn]

23. Baked fish and coleslaw but

I enjoy hearing what everyone else is doing tonight. I have to admit I am terminally bored since I don't get out very much.

[redstatebluegirl]

24. 44 degrees here in Okieville.

Had Talapia with wild rice and a spinach salad. On my second glass of wine..

[cachukis]

25. Shrimp and grits for dinner. 57 degrees on the side deck.

Reading. Tampa.

[electric_blue68]

28. Also in NYC. I finally got out for...

Chinese food, other food, and dessert, house, cleaning goods, and an 👍 extra set of thermals from various stores diagonally across from my block.

[mcar]

29. 49 in Central FL

Got up till low 70s and sunny.

Salmon In the air fryer and steamed broccoli.

[smirkymonkey]

30. 16 degrees here in Boston.

My heat doesn't work very well so it's a bit chilly in my apartment, but I have lots of cozy blankets so I don't mind too much. I have a space heater for the dressing room/bath room, but don't really need it for the main areas.

Where are you getting dinner from? I used to live in NYC and miss a lot of the restarurants there. I think I am going to make a pot of homemade soup tomorrow.

[Hotler]

33. What did you order? I'm having pan seared, oven finished

country style pork ribs. May open up a can of Bavarian style sauerkraut.

[LAS14]

34. 1.9 degrees in Albany, Maine. Just finished a Blue Apron Christmas present of quesadillas. nt

[Captain_New_York]

36. 2,500 ft in elevation

Catskill mountains 6 degrees Fahrenheit on it way to -4 degrees Fahrenheit As Irish Catholics it always Fish & Chips on Friday

[electric_blue68]

45. We usually walked about 1/2 a mile to get pizza when I was a kid

[mnhtnbb]

38. It's 29 degrees here in Durham, NC and I had homemade chicken soup

from a pot I made yesterday, when we had snow! I will be eating chicken soup all weekend, with some garlic bread or salad or half sandwich.

[Dorian Gray]

40. Ordered delivery from Sweetgreen

on Caviar. And tipped the delivery person VERY WELL!

Stay warm out there. Holy hell, brooklyn is cold.

[flotsam]

42. Dead cold nuts of night in southern New Hampshire

...8 Degrees and predicted down to 4 degrees tomorrow. Dripping faucets in kitchen and bathrooms, but last time they froze was in a -5 storm with high winds. Dinner was Faker's Stroganoff-A frozen hamburger and gravy entre. Threw in 1/2 pound of Baby Bella mushrooms sauteed in butter and a block of cream cheese and served over mashed potatoes with Mexican corn. Not bad! Checked the long term weather report and these may be the last cool days this winter-the month long prediction says almost every day tops out above freezing with the majority hitting 40. I'll take it.

[electric_blue68]

46. Better tonight 30, no wind Went quick shopping 😁
