Re: Mangetout Monday
helia, I like to wrap the rotisserie chicken's bones in cheese cloth and cook it in a slow cooker full of vegetables and water. I like to add some commercial soup stock. That can be put in the freezer for soup when you need it. By wrapping the chicken parts in cheesecloth, you can just lift it out and everything left is soup. (I am a lazy cook.)
I love that you can identify what you are hearing in the early morning.
You so right, Kittykatt. Nothing that I was going to buy last night would be less expensive than at the discount grocery store that I plan to visit today. And the rotisserie chicken has been put off for the next craving.
I'm glad that you were able to find a solution for your DD's transportation, L.Ann
This is the time of year that it is all about the garden, Lauralind. At least you aren't sneaking excess zucchini into your friends' houses, LOL.
Cheesecake doesn't always need to be that sweet. Years ago, I made a coffee cheesecake for the office bake sale but ran out of sugar. Brought it anyway. It ended up being the hit of the bake sale, because it was a relief from all of the sweet, LOL.
Hi, Peaches

Re: Mangetout Monday
Non sweet coffee cheese cake is right up my alley, Dogged! Little Bit is up and DD32 is home so my quiet time is done. Most of it was spent on a call with the third bank guy trying to fix my banking issue. He just said it is problem he has never seen and he sent it up the line to the next tech support place.
At least I can now transfer between accounts even if I can’t pay bills.
1-finish cleaning fridge
2-see if I can convince Little Bit she wants to take another walk

Re: Mangetout Monday
Waving to all of the usual gang! It's 9pm and I just got home, after leaving at 6:45. But there was a nice dinner with a friend, so there's that 
I have a dinner with another friend planned for tomorrow and I need to pack and get the house ready for cat sitting, so I can't call it a day, even if I would really love to, and when in doubt, I'm gonna start with the routines!
TaDas
- day at work
- meet a friend for dinner at a Tex-Mex restaurant (yes, we have those too!)
- delay start load of towels and flip in to dryer
ToDos
- morning routine
- midday routine
- afternoon routine

Re: Mangetout Monday
Trissie, that’s so interesting that you have Tex-mex. I don’t even have that in Alabama lol. I do wonder if the flavors are the same…I’ve read McDonald’s in different parts of the world all taste different.
Dogged, you’re very smart to keep the bits separate from your soup.
I haven’t done a thing and my day is almost over. Seeking mojo
in super sized quantities.

Re: Mangetout Monday
I finally found my good coffee cheesecake recipe. Dd used to bribe her brother with it. Fox my car I'll make cheesecake. This one is good but there was only the sweet from the little bit of syrup. Some of the thinner jam will help. I always make it less sweet .
Lunch break. Then back to work to get going on freight.
