Sunday – 22/10/2017 – Nut Day

I do like PB/honey sammie – but only with the crunchy all-natural PB.

KZ, I’ve never tried Nutella as a bread spread, as I’d prob find it too rich-tasting. But I did find some cookie packets with Nutella filling and they are very good!

Think that we’re expecting similar weather in my n’hood. Not a huge prob as I’m anticipating wearing sweaters, booties and leather jackets for a bit before real cold kicks in.

On way to gym I did the seasonal thing as in Fall! 😮 Fortunately I keep bandages and sanitizer in my bag. And at gym I stash instant ice packs, ace bandage and arnica. So more or less took care of it. Yup another bruise will result. Think that I was more concerned about the blood on my tights and skirt from a teensy cut. Washer took care of that.

Now applied more ice for a bit. Off to do some work. Not due ’til Tues., but I feel like it. was not going to charge for this project, but it’s long enough that by rights I should get paid, anyway I asked and the and was yes! L8R.

Ick! Nutella, peanutbutter, or any simblense thereof ….. no offense to anyone, I’m just not about that texture and have zero pallet for anything even remotely on the sweet side. My nut, is salty boiled peanuts ….. I sent MS some long years back, and she and KK were brave enough to try them! Don’t know if they liked them, but a pitcher of KOTSW helps! Lol

Lol lagatta! I too am a big coffee fan ! I do not drink any soda, my only other bev is pure cranberry juice ….. it’s bitter, but I like it!

Hi all – Ah yes, chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Comet’s actually done that! Thanks PG, they finally won a game!

We all know that cat is staring at a wormhole, right?

People seem to either like Nutella or don’t, depending on one’s liking of hazelnuts and chocolate. I like it, and keep the store brand version in my cupboard. I like putting it on fresh strawberries.

AV, your nuts and a pitcher of KOTSW sounds good!

Oh no, KJ, a fall! Hope the bruise isn’t too bad and doesn’t bother you too much. It’s good that you are prepared.

Yep, beautiful day today but it looks to change later tomorrow. I spent the afternoon at baby Tyler’s First birthday party!

Good morning all.




Well it is a public holiday today and the weather is awful, raining and c c c c cold and heavy rain on the way with possible thunder storms. HRH Shadz has given up looking out the door willing the rain to stop and headed upstairs to bed. I am just uttering around the house doing bits and pieces here and there. Mr MS is working.
I love nuts, in fact I just ate my weeks supply of almonds lastnight 🙁 so I will have to ration strictly my Brazil nuts. I don”t eat any nutty spreads though, too rich for me.
KZ, it’s so cold here I am thinking of lighting the fire, our weather patterns seem to be on a par at the moment.
KJ, oh no ! ! You need training wheels to prevent you falling. I guess it’s just a normal hazard in your climate and in the city though and there;s no way you can go round wearing padding like ice hockey players. Arnica cream on any unbroken skin.
Lagatta I totally agree with you on the Nutella and like spreads, so unhealthy yet passed off as healthy just because it has natural nuts in it. No mention of all the fats and sugars in them unless you read and understand the nutritional panel on the product.
AV, we think alike on nutty spreads. Yes KK and I tried the boiled peanuts and I know I liked them but I can’t remember if KK did.
Today’s nut theme has made me decide to make a banana walnut loaf for Mr MS’s lunches. The walnuts are from his brothers tree.

PM, Oscar is a very smart cat to use the clothesline as a shortcut and teach Theodore to do the same.
We had a dog and cat who loved canned button mushrooms, I dropped one by accident and it was snaffled up immediately and whenever I opened a can I would be pestered by them for a small mushroom each. The dog also loved my homemade pickled onions. Whoa talk about oniony dog breath ! ! 🙂
I had to LOL at your description of Apple Blossom not being a lady and why. OMG ! hickory smoked almonds are seriously good tasting and our dog liked those too.

I really like nuts of all kinds, and like peanut butter too, the all natural stuff these days. They make it much better now without all the oil sitting on top. I have two large hickory trees right outside my window that I feed the birds on…they leave nuts everywhere. I have picked them up, and tried to harvest a few, but they have bugs in them sometimes which creeps me out. The chipmunks and squirrels love them….but don’t go walking around by the trees and not watch where you walk–it’s like walking on marbles–quite dangerous!!

KZ,I was fascinated with the idea of hickory nuts. The only thing I know about hickory is it makes great handles for tools like axes and imparts a wonderful flavour to nuts. I had to look hickory nuts up and see they are like smooth walnuts but with very thick shells. It’s a weevil that gets in
to lay eggs when the nut is forming that develops into the pesky worms. What do the good nuts taste like?
