Don't think I'd care much for zoodles. But I do like these (real noodles!!) --

You know, I put off trying zoodles for a long time because I just didn't think they sounded appetizing, even though I love zucchini, but they are actually amazing. They don't feel a whole lot different than regular spaghetti noodles. You just need to drain the water off of them...they tend to be wetter. But you don't taste anything different. I love them!

@figmentfan423 we got a new stand up market in an old parking lot that's open seven days a week. Our actual farmers market is panicking a little because everyone is going to the stand up market because the hours and location are more accessible and because, you know.... they actually have produce instead of just bread and pies.

We went today and found everything we need for a nice salad with our dinner (which is another freezer meal because my husband is still out of town )

This is the kind of farmers market that I've been waiting for, too--something with more than breads and pies.

I love seeing your daughter in her princess dress, and being such a big help to you! She's precious!

Those aren't gluten free.

Oh o.k., thanks for the explanation. I'm not up on allergy-type foods, I guess. Sorry to Figgy, too.

So sad to hear this. I love figment. He needs more respect and a good ride. It's Disney's fault that people don't want to visit Imagination, it's a terrible ride (but we ride it each time, just to see figment). Disney sure knows how to kill off favorite personality's with a terrible ride.

What's sad to me is that my kids LOVED imagination...I don't know how many times we rode it and there was never a wait at all. But, they loved it, and it's not even close to as good as it used to be. My kids won't ever get to experience how amazing it was when it first opened. And I can't help but wonder, if they love the BAD version so much, how much would they have LOVED the GOOD version??

 

[Songbird76]

Me too. I'm trying hard to catch up. I'm hoping that @songbird 76 family is doing much better.

Quite a bit, thanks! My FIL is still REALLY tired, but otherwise doing pretty well. He gets physical therapy I think once a week, and he was able to take care of his birds by himself on Friday. But we're still only doing short visits of only a couple of hours at a time and even that wears him out and he has to go nap. But at least he's HOME.

DD is cleaning her room by her own choice. I swear she is the easiest child on the planet to parent. She and one of her friends still need to celebrate their birthdays together and she won't make plans for it until her room is clean. I didn't say a word. She's obviously been abducted by aliens.

 

[Figgy1]

Me too. I hope everyone can forgive the lapses in getting up to date!

No forgiveness or ketchup needed! We're just glad you're back on here

Nice to share with neighbors. We used to. But, we don't do a garden anymore. Nor do our neighbor's, it's not in the HOA.

I think your HOA needs a walking tour

Your dd has excellent taste in clothing and food

Those aren't gluten free.

Thank you my friend

 

[Figgy1]

Are you allergic to eggs, too?

Not allergic but they don't like me.

I like them raw in the summer with a raw marinara

No prob

My boys get to go to the pool tomorrow. Guess that also means I have to change my avatar

I saute them in just a bit of olive oil, but they are high in water content, so I always pull them out with tongs and let them drip for a minute or two before I put them on my plate. They are a bit more work, but cook faster.

The spoils of our farmers market plunder:

I wish we had a red onion but it was still good!

KWIMV is my mom's saying. Not as an acronym of course. My daughter's comeback is always "my name's not Verne!" When she was litttle she was convinced grandma couldn't remember her name.

Hahaaa...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Isn't that lunch for them ?

Hahaaa...!!!
Myself and my 2 younger brothers may have inadvertently set some eating records back in the day without even knowing it...!!!!!

Chick-fil-A has really great disposable placemats. I'll grab a few before we head down. I'm sure we'll eat there at least twenty times before December

Yep, Chick-fil-A is still one of our faves.
Their regular sandwich is great, but, I really like the newer spicy sandwich...!!!
