Ugh...going down to 36 degrees tonight. My mums are covered and I brought in my tropical hibiscus. Most of my other flowers are about done blooming.
It was only 50 today.

All my jeans are baggy lol, what a terrible fashion look! Everything good here. Body is having a little trouble adjusting to the cold weather but it is really the first week of cold so there is time.
RV sale is driving me crazy, I am selling it to a very reputable local dealership and it is like their first time handling paperwork. I sign all paperwork to commit to the sale, provided a copy of the title and thought we were good to set up meeting to exchange my signed title for my check for the payment. Apparently they need me to mail the original title to their main office before they can cut the check. This goes against everything I have been taught and all my common sense. I am going to call and talk to them on Monday because this isn't a little amount of money, it is approaching sell a house type of money. Even Carmax when you sell a car you don't sign the title until the check is ready. I just hate when things don't go smooth, I read the email yesterday morning and had a panic attack first one in a long time. So frustrating, I hate dealing with this type of situation alone, I want to say to someone you handle this but there isn't anyone else with authority to do it for me.

We have a touch of frost out there. Good thing we filled in digger dog holes yesterday. 720 pounds of topsoil.

All I I would think the local dealer should be the one sending the title to the main office.

(((((allikat))))) I'll have to pass on Moldy Cheese Day. Yuck. Low carb pot roast is in the slow cooker. Fingers crossed it tastes good To make it low carb, you sub green beans and radish for the potatoes and carrots. I did put a few carrots in there though, not enough to really make the carb count skyrocket. I added mushrooms too. Apparently the radishes absorb the flavors like potatoes do and have a very similar texture in pot roast. I also discovered my pretty floral slow cooker doesn't cook on low Thank goodness I kept the ugly (but very reliable) black slow cookers as back up. Guess the floral one is going to GW tomorrow. Bummer. I have a ton of stuff to take to GW tomorrow, and a bunch of stuff to pack up so I can mail it out Tuesday. I'm picking up MULTIPLE cans of wasp spray at WM later today so I can attack the new nests early tomorrow morning before the wasps wake up and fly out for breakfast. They've made nests in a couple of my fake floral arrangements. There is also a HUGE nest (again) on the roof overhang. I'll report that one Monday. If I can kill the nests, I can bag up the arrangements and throw them out. Then maybe I can finally put the screen up.

I haven't had turnips in decades. A friend's mother used to fix them like potatoes and they were pretty good. Apparently you can also roast radishes. Worst case, if the radishes don't work, I 'll just pick them out

Val, that pot roast sounds good. I need to get motivated to do some cooking.

I'm fixing turkey chili tomorrow or Tuesday. I may chop the veggies up tomorrow but not toss it all into the slow cooker until Tuesday. I'm trying a bean-free recipe. Haven't done that before. I like beans in my chili but I need to cut the carbs. So more meat, less beans it is Hopefully both dishes come out OK and I can freeze some servings of both.

I think the wooziness is from my clogged sinuses - it affects balance.
Got my river walk in (easy 5 miles) but no coffee out on a patio - the air quality here is in the hazardous range, and rather than loads of people out and about, it's very quiet. The air by the river is better, so my walk was fine, but my coffee drinking is being conducted inside in a fun public market where the rest of the town also seems to be crammed- where we're guzzling coffee and eating.

Love that blue cheese! Never had roquefort or gorgonzola. I'll have to try those. You will like the flavor if you like "blue cheese". Roquefort and gorgonzola are a variety of blue cheese with gorgonzola being the mildest of all the different blue cheese. Some info copy and pasted on the different types of blue cheese: Types of Blue Cheese
There are many different types of cheese in the blue cheese family. Below are some common favorites.
1. Roquefort: Roquefort, one of the first blue cheeses, is made from ewe’s milk and has the strongest smell and flavor of all blue cheeses. Roquefort cheese is named after the French village Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, where it is produced.
2. Gorgonzola: This cheese is made from cow’s milk and is named after the Italian town where it originated.
3. Blue Stilton: This cow's milk cheese is produced in England. The same region also makes a white Stilton cheese, which isn’t aged with mold.
4. Cabrales: This cheese is made from cow's milk in Asturias, Spain.
5. Danablu: This Danish blue cheese is made from cow's milk and has a milder flavor compared to the sharpness of other blue cheeses.
6. Cambozola: This blue cheese is known as a double-cream blue cheese because it is made from both cow's milk and cream. It also has a bloomy, edible rind that looks similar to Brie cheese.
