Plans for today (2024)

[Lullabelle]

Booked a day off work, TVC is feeling better so we are going out for a KFC lunch then M&S for food.

Laundry and work, and a crises run into town, as I mistakenly purchased fat free half-and-half and that ain’t cutting it.

I'm going to a national TV channel this afternoon to record a programme called "People Like Us". Basically, the presenter interviews foreigners who have come to the country and made their lives here - like me!

Going out to dinner with some old friends tonight in Destin. Very windy today so we skipped the beach.

We got to the TV studio about 1.45pm, had to wait about 30 minutes, then went into the studio. I brought my wife along (although she originally hadn't wanted to come - stage fright) and the producers/presenter persuaded her to take part in the show. Whoohoo!!

I'm catching up on computer work, besides the standard garden watering, preparing dog food etc.
Possibly manage to do the laundry, although that could still wait some days

 

[TastyReuben]

Just work today. Not planning on leaving the house.

Nothing special on the books today, although I fancy some scones, for some wierd reason!

I made a light Halloween feast meal, posted in the appropriate threads. I celebrated a little at our ancestor altar. I'll have a celebratory drink tonight and watch a nice cozy Halloween themed movie.

You ever make them? I love the slightly bitter taste a good scone has, if you know what I mean. Bitter is the wrong word... a slight sourness?

Plans for today include finishing weeding the front lawn boarder. It's in full sun all day long, so either it needs to be cloudy or I can only do it in half hour intervals. I've also got a physio appointment, I need to go to the chemist and then I've 4 dozen eggs that nobody wants, so they'll get donated to the foodbank because I'm going that way for physio.

When I get back I'll set my mushroom kits going. I need to inoculate these ones, so this is setting them going for Christmas. And I also need to get some vegan cheese going for Christmas as well.

I can't remember what else needs to be done other than I need to be very brave at some point and remove the duck tape from the electricity socket in the bedroom. It's been taped over for a long while now whilst we try to kill the ants. We think we are there but I don't know if I want to be that brave yet. Lol

I don't make them very often, but I know what you mean. I wonder what that is? Slightly burned milk? Flour??
I just want something different for breakfast, and since my (disabled) son now has gym every single day , which means breakfast on the run, I wanted something quick, under the grill for a bit, maybe, to give us some variation.

Baking powder?
Hopefully I remember correct that scones are made with it?

Yes - I think that is where the taste comes from. Of course, buttermilk scones have a slightly sour flavour too.

Mine certainly have baking powder in them for the normal ones. My buttermilk ones have bicarb of soda in instead.
