I don't like anything with pumpkin spice and I really only like my own apple pie. Other people use too much cinnamon and don't cook the apples enough for me. Once there are good cooking apples available I will make my own pie.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I think the cheese on top might be a New England thing or as my mom would say "an old Swamp Yankee thing". It has to be a really good extra sharp cheddar cheese. The taste of the apples and the cheese together is so good.

QOTD- Dutch apple pie, with pumpkin in 2nd place.
It got up to 100 the last 2 days and my Mom even turned on her A/C. She said it was just too warm to sleep. She keeps the heat set at 76 so for her to turn on the A/C is almost unheard of.
I have a glass topped stove and have heard that you can't can on it. So I bought a single burner, now I just need the tomatoes to can. My garden has only produced a handful so far. My other house I had tons and canned 50+ quarts one year from my garden. I'm probably going to get them from the feed store, since they have an event every year with tomatoes, and other canning ready produce. I'm thinking of making dill pickles, assuming I can find the pickling cukes and dill.
My boss lives in San Antonio and his A/C went out yesterday and he was taking power surges. I hope he gets it fixed, I couldn't survive there with no A/C.
I need to get to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers
Sorry you missed the Y yesterday Jen. I hate not having time for exercise. I do walk a mile with the dog every day and I am faithful to the gym Saturday and Sunday. I just wish there were more hours in my day. I am happy today because I have been detoured on my way to work since April and they finally opened up the road. It is a small thing but it was such an inconvenience.
QOTD: I guess apple We used to have a restaurant that served it warm with cinnamon ice cream and it was wonderful. It closed last year and I am not sure where they have cinnamon ice cream anywhere else. I guess I could get a ninja creamery if I really wanted it.
Accountability: Yesterday was good.
TSS: 7 years 8-months 2-days 167.6 Lowest (129.4)

I think that cheese on apple pie is an East Coast thing, I grew up with it as well.

Ugh, what a bummer that you weren't able to get your tooth taken care of yesterday. Fingers crossed it works out tomorrow.

Good Morning! Well I am at work since I chickened out asking for the day off but realistically I need to meet with my team today since it's a little quieter this week it's good to set the time aside to touch base and set (reset) goals and what-not. I also do have a few takeaways from the meetings I had yesterday so it's all good.
QOTD: I think between the two I would lean towards apple as well. Cheese on top? that intrgues me a bit.
Today's menu is the same as Monday and yesterday, exercise done and I'll get in my vits and water.
Let's make it a great day!

Good morning, everyone!
There was some sort of administrative mixup, so I wasn't able to get my extraction yesterday. They rescheduled it until Thursday morning. My son and I are going fishing Friday through Sunday and are driving up Thursday afternoon. I told him the good news is that we won't have to drive in the dark, but the bad news is I will probably sleep the whole way up there.
This is unscientific, but I estimate that I now have 100 in office days left. There are 59 weeks until retirement. Even with a three day a week base, when I figure in vacation, conferences, office closures, a couple of weeks of work from Florida next winter, and a tailing off of in-office next summer, I think I'm right around 100.
I plan to stay on a fairly normal schedule through next May, I have a number of work and personal trips next June, and then probably only go into the office on an as- needed basis July-September.
We have Happy Hour tonight, but it will be low key with my extraction tomorrow morning.
QOTD: absolutely Apple.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Tortellini
Have a great day, all!

good mornin y'all.
It's been a rough night for me, my upper right arm and shoulder are swollen up and super super painful. The contrast they injected leaked out of the joint more so than expected and it's causing those pains to be worse. Having a hard time lifting my arm too high. The results weren't great. There is no rotator cuff tear but there is other serious things.
the results:
There is a tear of the posterior superior and posterior inferior labrum, with a 3 mm
elevated flap (series 2 image 43, series 5 image 91, series 4 image 73). No other labral
tear or SLAP lesion is seen. No paralabral cyst is identified.
There is no glenohumeral arthropathy, subluxation, or dislocation.
There is prominent acromioclavicular arthropathy for a 44-year-old patient, with joint
space narrowing, cortical irregularity, subchondral cyst formation, and mild spur
formation. There is anterior downsloping of a type II acromion narrowing the
acromiohumeral interval to 8 mm.
No fracture is seen. No other osseous or soft tissue abnormality is seen.
IMPRESSION:
Tear of the posterior superior and posterior inferior labrum.
Prominent acromioclavicular arthropathy, advanced for age. Anterior downsloping of the
acromion narrowing the acromiohumeral interval.
No rotator cuff tear is seen. There is mild atrophy of part of the superior half of the
subscapularis muscle.

it is what it is.
Not sure what the plan is for the day. We had a water main break just a house north of us. We didn't have running wate for 6 or so hours. Might lose it again today because I'm not sure if they finished all the way. I'd like a rest day today but that remains to be seen.
Glad to hear about the Ryze drink. I hope you'll continue to let us know how it does!
QOTD: I'd rather have a buttermilk or chess pie. Lol if I had to choose one of them it'd be apple with a Dutch crumb topping.
B: egg, feta , corn tortilla and coffee
L: ????
D: I'm thinking a chicken breast shredded into half a pita.
