Today I start a new 30-day challenge. For the next month I will do without candy, chocolate (that part may last less than one day,) cake and any other sweets. The only exception is that I will allow myself to have some pie on Thanksgiving day. Right now there are at lease eight other people […]
After spending a few weekends hanging out at the farmer’s market, I think I’m starting to get a handle on this whole eating vegetables thing. Of course my tastes are still evolving so I haven’t learned to like all vegetables yet. Just the ones that go on a pizza! Enjoy today’s jigsaw puzzle, and please […]
I bought a fitness tracker this weekend, and I’m still learning how to operate it. I mean, so far it has only left the couch once, and I think one of the cats moved it. I guess I’ll have to put it on and go somewhere for it to work. I wonder if they allow […]
Here’s a jigsaw puzzle of something I miss from my days overseas – a fruit stand! Yes, I know we have them here in the USA, but none near where I live. The closest we have is the farmer’s market, but those are mostly vegetables and ostrich jerky. Really! They raise them in this area […]
First let me start out by saying I apologize if the site has been hard to get to over the last day. I’ve had some issues with my website that have slowed things down and caused my ISP to put some restrictions on my bandwidth. I’ve blocked a few IP addresses because they were trying […]
Today’s jigsaw puzzle is a bit home grown. OK, I didn’t take the picture of the vegetables, but I did put all the little pieces together. Sort of. I had to play it several times before I figured out a background that didn’t blend in with the pieces too much. That happens when you have […]
I remember a store in Japan that had the fruit and vegetables stacked up just like in today’s jigsaw puzzle. I thought it was pretty ingenious, myself. Here’s the puzzle. Enjoy!
I’ve been real good about eating fresh vegetables lately, or I was until that pie came along. (Details on the Word Search puzzle page.) The good news is that the local farmer’s market has cranked up in the last couple of weeks, and we are going to go there at least once a week. Today’s […]
I’m not much of a fan of green beans, unless they are stir fried. I really don’t like vegetables that have been cooked until they are mushy, which is why I probably didn’t like them much as a kid. Since living in Japan where a lot of foods are stir fried, I’ve learned to like […]
I bought us some fresh fruit and vegetables this weekend. It’s actually cheaper and better for you at the farmer’s market than at the local grocery mega-store. Now if I can only find some home made chocolate! Today’s jigsaw puzzle was requested by Mindy. Thank you for the suggestion, Mindy!
(Happy birthday Lexie!) We have a couple of local farmer’s markets around here, and we like to go there once in a while to get some good bargains on some market fresh vegetables. I’ve never been much of a fan of eggplants, but my wife likes them. I prefer corn on the cob myself. What’s […]
Yesterday I mentioned that old Mrs. Karputzsky from next door had brought me a bowl of soup after I saw digging in her garden at 2:00 in the morning. Today, after waking up groggy and with a headache, I decided to take her soup bowl back over to her house. She invited me into her […]
It’s been a while since I used vegetables for a jigsaw puzzle. These are mostly red or orange veggies, though. Somehow they made their way onto my meat lover’s menu. Guess that’s a side effect of getting older. You start eating heather. Too bad I didn’t start thirty or forty years ago. Enjoy the puzzles […]
I had some great vegetables yesterday, mostly on my double-decker hamburger I had at the company picnic. Seriously, I’m eating more fresh vegetables now. My wife keeps buying pizzas with all these green things on them. Whatever works, I guess.
