Wednesday Witterings . . .

I am a bit late getting started this morning. We had to be up really early as Eileen was going to the hospital early for her second Iron Infusion. After I got her ready to go and she left, I thought I might have a short nap, but it was for naught. I couldn't fall back asleep. I will be nodding away tonight as I try to watch something on television no doubt!

Occasionally I get emails from people who subscribe to my Grow Newsletter from the food blog.  I got one the other day from someone who wanted to cancel her subscription:

"I am vegan. Is there a vegan option for emails? If not, I would like to be removed Please and thank you. FYI: the reason I am vegan and killing of life to fill my stomach is sickening."

I politely responded that if she wished to unsubscribe she need only click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the Grow email.

So then I get this response:

"Shall do. It is disappointing that you don’t care. Sigh"

I am not sure what I could have done any differently. If you want to be a Vegan than that's great for you. I have tried it and it is not for me. 

It is obvious from the outset my blog is not a Vegan blog, although I do occasionally post a recipe that is Vegan friendly. If you are a Vegan and you don't like recipes that are not Vegan friendly, then the answer seems to be pretty simple to me.  Don't subscribe to a blog that is not a Vegan blog. There are plenty of Vegan blogs out there to suit your purposes. Sorry to disappoint, but hey. I like to eat meat on occasion, and I don't feel, and will not let you make me feel guilty for doing so.

Eileen had not had sauerkraut for a very long time. Probably not since I moved over to the U.K. so yesterday I cooked us some for our dinner.  Pickled Pork and Sauerkraut with some fluffy mashed potatoes.  It was some good and we both really enjoyed it.  I beat lots of butter into the potatoes. I have quite a bit leftover (the potatoes) and I am going to make something with them today. I do still have a bit of sauerkraut and pork as well, but I will give that to Eileen and have something else myself.

My friend Leona used to make delicious potato patties using canned corned beef. I might try to make some of those. I will have to dig out my Big Blue Binder and look them up.

I did look online (for ease) and found one but when I looked at the photo of the ingredients for this recipe:

Something is clearly amiss. That's not corned beef in the bowl. That's ground beef. That leads me to believe that this is not a legitimate site, but some AI produced page with a fake author, etc. In short, not to be trusted.

Oh I am being a negative nelly this morning aren't I!

We had a bit more snow during the night last night, but Eileen's worker was still able to get here from Annapolis, so it was not too bad. I doubt they will clean our street. The sun is shining brightly now although the skies are still grey. The temperature is above zero however so the new snow on the road should melt alright.  This is the season of transition between Winter and Summer.  Days where you get cold and Winter one day and mild and Spring the next, swinging wildly back and forth until Spring finally decides to grab hold and stick.  Even then we may get an occasional day of Winter. I have seen it snow in June. (Not hoping for that scenario!) The clocks spring forward this Sunday so here we go with the time change again.  I am so NOT a fan of time change. I wish that they would do away with that whole scenario. It always messes up my internal clock and takes me ages to get back on track.

I know I am not alone in wanting this madness to stop.

Oh dear negative nelly again.

The cats have adjusted very well to Eileen being here.  They don't mind at all. Even Nutmeg. He is such a funny little guy. He is the first to disappear when someone new arrives. The cleaners have never really seen him as he hides the whole time they are here, only coming out after they leave.

 

Cinnamon, on the other hand, follows them around, watches their every move, lets them pet her and relishes rolling around on their freshly mopped floors.

Those two are as different as chalk and cheese.

 I don't have a lot planned for today. Normally we would be going out to supper with Dad, but he is going to Greenwood for a Chinese and I am not a fan of that filthy restaurant, so we will be staying home. I think Cindy and Dan are going to take dad and drop him off and then go to another place themselves. Can't say that I blamed them. It really is a dirty spot. Eileen and I will do something here.

I am wanting to bake a cake today so I might make that happen. I also have a ton of comments to attend to. We will just have to wait and see. In the meantime, here is a thought to carry with you  . . .

Sharing a recipe today for Potato, Cheese & Onion Pie.  This is very simple and very good.

Delicious comforting food made from simple ingredients put together in the tastiest way possible.  

I hope that you have a lovely day no matter what you get up to. I am so sorry that I have been quite boring as of late. I am not sure why that is. Whatever you get up to, don't forget!
