It seemed to have no flavor... how does that happen!?

Maybe because you didn’t season it? But seriously, I season it a lot. To me cauliflower on its own tastes like water. I season it like what I would do for a taco. I use chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. I am heavy on everything but the paprika. I add a little water and cook for 5 minutes. Tastes great in a soft taco.

When I was in Hershey today, where we ate for dinner had pizza with cauliflower crust. Me...

Where was it?

I'm so lonely, seeing couples at the parks, and school really damages my mental health, I just am so dam lonely

You don’t need a girl for your mental stability. Take care of you first. Think of everything you are good at and feel proud of yourself. The right girl will come along. Having self confidence will also be something noticed by others and it will make you more approachable. Just my opinion.

Just to add, McCormick has great baskets on their website. If you need to buy a bunch at once, it's a good deal. https://shop.mccormick.com/all-sets They also make good gifts. I've bought their stuff for two different people as housewarming gifts.

EDIT: Also, for McCormick spices, check your labels. If they say Baltimore, MD on them, they're 20+ years old and probably not as potent. They should say Hunt Valley, MD.

20 plus years old and they still sell them? I always thought you should throw them after a few years. Of course I will go through some spices in less than a month so they never last long in my house.

No mass for me this weekend, as I’m on the downhill side of a short case of crud (DWifey and DS had it earlier in the week - so far youngest DD hasn’t come down with it, and fingers crossed she doesn’t ), that I noticed comin’ on early Friday afternoon, and don’t wanna’ chance goin’ out in public today.
Should be fine tomorrow, though...!

Hope you feel better soon.

Where was it?

Near where the Towers are, there's a place called The Grill (I believe). It's great because they have flatbreads, Mexican, Paninis, Italian, and chicken strips and fries, so everyone can find something there to eat. I take my brother there because he usually wants chicken strips, and I, well, don't, so he gets chicken strips and I get something else and everyone's happy.

Oh, no, they don't sell them. That's more a warning to check the spices in your cabinet. I found a few in ours that were very old and tossed them.

Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry they didn't have good fries which can be hard to find anywhere. We found good ones at Margaritaville, not too salty or greasy

What did you eat at Margaritaville?

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks!!!

We initially chalked it up to just seasonal springtime allergies, but, it’s definitely gettin’ passed around and just feels different.
No fever, and no substantial aches. Just a lot of congestion and coughing, sore ribs and headache from all the coughing, and a general run-down feeling.

Anyway, thanks again...!!!

That almost makes me wish I could drink beer. Our most used spices and such for food pink sea salt, peppercorns, garlic, ginger(fresh), oregano, basil, mustard and bay leaves. For food and tea Cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, coriander, fenugreek, fennel seeds, allspice and fresh turmeric. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few and don't get me started on fresh legal herbs. Again anybody here willing to swap bills?

I use salt and pepper. Very reasonably priced.

So you're related to @MinnieM123

Hee hee . . . you'd be proud of me, Figgy. I bought a salad yesterday, and it had little packets of things in the package like some sweetened cranberries, and a chopped egg. There was even a little tiny tub of salad dressing. NO kale though--perish the thought. Regular normal lettuce.

Hope you feel better soon. I'm sure Emy missed you at church this weekend. (She was so looking forward to showing off her newest ensemble.)

@Songbird76 , I really enjoyed your photos at Efteling. What a cool place, and I also love the "park" -- areas of green and flowers, trees, etc.

My favorite of all the photos were the ones showing the beautiful carousel. It's very European looking, with a classic fairy tales design.

Glad you and your family had fun there.

Best safari today! Saw lots of animals.

I love Kilimanjaro Safaris -- it's different every single time you go on it. If you get a chance on another day of your trip, I hope you can go on it again. The different animals are so interesting to watch. They have such a nice variety of animals out on the savannah. Big thrills! (I live near a big city -- I get to see pigeons here -- but, that's about it. LOL . . . )

I've got a few extra deer I can lend you. The big one likes to get scratched behind his ears

Thanks, Minnie...!!!

And, about Emy’s church outfit...
They didn’t take any pictures of her at home, so we’re gonna’ take some after mass.
But, right before mass she had a major diaper blowout, so she had to don her diaper bag backup onesie...!!!!!
She’s done it before, but, they were still at home, so were able to put her in another cute outfit before they left the house...!!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ferret is easily confused now that old age has settled upon him

Sorry, I wasn't aware of that "issue". MGM it is!

No, I meant the principal when I was in high school. He left the year after I graduated. He got some job offer in South Dakota and our district lied through their teeth in the reference letter to get him the heck and gone. He was tenured, so they couldn't fire him, so they could only get rid of him if he quit. Then as soon as he took the job they offered, and he signed the contract, the district rejoiced and then the school in South Dakota was like "Wait....is this the same guy?? He's not at ALL like you said" and then our district was like "We know! SUCKERS!"

lol.. wow.. XD
