PHYLLIS, it's my granddaughter who is getting her driver's license and, yes, it's the real one. She's only 25 and lost it a few years back. Hopefully, everything will go well and she'll be back on the road soon. Since I've been her driver since she came back to town (and before she left) I'll be making use of her talents to drive me where I don't like to drive myself and on days when I NEED to go somewhere and it's not cloudy!

AMY, I have laundry in the washer and I'm going to go put it in the dryer and another load in the washere. I was running low on some "ecessaries" so it was time to do this job. Then I'm going to take a couple of bags to the dumpster and some back home and relax.

Frankie has put us off for the DMV until tomorrow so I shifted gears and did some other stuff instead.

I hope Everyfriend is havaing a nice day and JOY is feeling more "joyous" today because she doesn't hurt so much!

OOPS!!! Forgot to congratulate LLOYD on his loss. That's the kind of loss to cheer about. So.... HOORAY FOR LLOYD!

Jane, I also forgot to congratulate Lloyd on the weight loss.... so had a double reason to show up again so soon.

Good for you, Lloyd, know how you love to eat so really twice as hard for you. Have you been a grouch? <smile>

Okay, I had a recipe for oven baked salmon and can't find it again.... I'm pretty sure it came from here, maybe a link to the recipes led me to it, but I can't find the recipes again. My brain is still taking a nap. It was just rub the salmon with olive oil, salt & pepper & I added some herbs & spices that were recommended for fish.... absolutely delicious & froze great. I gave it a zap in the microwave to thaw a little & then pat of butter in egg skillet (size of piece of fish I froze)... lid on as it sort of toasted. Had it instead of red meat or chicken about every other day last week (froze 5 packets). When all figured out it cost $3 or $4 per meal for all I could eat of the best salmon I've ever had. Please, anyone point me to the recipe folder in here? I've Googled & do not find any like it. Help???

For those with Instant Pots, I tried this one, used broth instead of juice and it was really good!

Thanks, Amy.... I'm thinking someone posted a link for something else & I kind of looked around, so one of those times I'll have to "wing it". I know I wrote it down but when cleaning off my many wordpads, I cleaned too thoroughly.

By "general" recipes, a very hot oven & remember which pan I used & will give it a try.

Been texting back & forth with my daughter, she's been all over her area looking for masks to wear on the plane trips but NONE around, even Amazon was out of stock for what she wanted. I suggested she tie a silk scarf around her neck, loosely so she can pull up over nose & mouth when confined inside plane. Her husband agreed that silk would work. I'm thinking nylon would not "breathe" through like silk, but know she has some really nice silk. I have a box of masks here to give her that Cas had bought. I don't go anywhere to worry... not enough going on around here to be warned about so just keep the hands clean. You know new stock of masks will be 10x the price, partly because probably most made in China... but greed fills in.

Amy, I loved that fat cardinal.

I'm hanging in there, hope to go home next week.

I'm sorry to hear about Joy. If it doesn't rain, it pours, doesn't it.

I wrote more in Norm's if anyone cares.

Now I going to see if someone can help me out of the recliner - and I'm going to recline on the bed.

Here is a link LarryHanna posted when he was doing the recipes index. This one works.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Shirley, I bake salmon filets the same any other fish. Season "as desired" and bake at 350 degrees until it can be flaked with a fork. I think it took about 15 - 18 minutes and I turned it over half way through.
My doctor's office had a dispenser for masks when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Maybe your daughter or you could get one there.

Joy, so very sorry about your fall. Hope all goes well in rehab.

I played Bridge at a local restaurant yesterday. Then two friends and I went out for dinner and to a performance of Ballet Folclorico Nacional De Mexico last night.
Didn't see anyone wearing a mask in any of the locations.

The performance was great. Costumes were spectacular and the foot movements were amazing. A company from this ballet has been touring for 46 years. I told my friends I vaguely remember seeing a performance as part of the Community Concert series when we lived in Colorado. Friends "suggested" I might have seen the grandparents of the dancers last night.

This has been a "leisurely" day and I suspect there's at least one useful thing I could do. Guess I'll go look...but will probably get distracted along the way.

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend...and stay warm.

Just a quick "good night" and I am off to bed. I found half a cup of coffee in the microwave so decided to heat it & have a few vanilla wafers, just what the doctor ordered to make me sleepy. God Bless and sweet dreams to all. Shirley

JOY, I am so sorry to read your post and find that you have fallen and broken your hip. I knew you had not posted, but I did not expect this to be the problem. I wish you the best for a speedy and full recovery. HUGS 💐💐

Congratulations on your weight loss, LLOYD. That is certainly a big accomplishment for you. Keep up the good work.

We just finished watching THE TWO POPES. We both enjoyed it very much.

JANE, I wish Frankie the best as she heads out for her license.

Thank you again for the continued kind words of support for Michele. She is really tired but doing as well as possible after getting the external Chemo pump removed today.

Pleasant dreams to all.

Jenny
