What I'm Reading This Week #30

Happy Final Friday of July everyone!  I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view.  The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole.  I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera.  Nope.   source When he poked it, it drained away.  Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying.  I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't.  But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel.  In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!!  If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...

What I'm Reading This Week #23

It's finally Friday y'all!  Are ya ready for the weekend?  We are!

Let's get right to...





Been There, Ate That: Experimenting With Different Nutrition Protocols  (Interesting)

11 Foods That Are Loaded With Potassium (Besides Bananas)  (Eat up!)

Charcoal Grill Anything With This Visual Guide  (I'm printing this out!  Oh, I should probably get a charcoal grill first)

Are Steel-Cut Oats That Much Healthier Than Rolled Oats?  (When mine run out, I'm going back to the old ones.  Not a fan of steel cut)

More on detoxification and smart lifestyle choices  (A rare health article from the Garden Isle)

Read this before you lug home that jackfruit  (We were just looking at these at the Asian market last weekend!  Good info!)

The 12 Best and Worst Sugar Substitutes  (Really great breakdown of them all)

Take Your Workout to the Beach With These Running Tips  (Take 'em into consideration if you're into making the sand work for you)

Get Your Roll On – What, Why, And How You Should Foam Roll  (I desperately need to roll.  My legs are so screwed up from the few times I wore flip flops on the trip.)

16 People Confess: What They Saw at a Wedding That Convinced Them the Marriage Would End in Divorce  (Holy crap!)

9 Things You Do That Make You Less Likeable  (#4 will get you a big fat sigh, eye roll and ask you if you'd like to be somewhere else and if so, go there.)

How Much Does Everyone Working on a Blockbuster Movie Get Paid?  (Pretty cool to see.  Courtesy of the Mr.)

Living With The Ghost Of ‘Six Feet Under’  (EXCELLENT read for SFU fans.  In the middle of season 2 on our "re-education."  Every time we re-watch it, usually every 2 years, we learn something else.  There will never be another show like it.)

I don't think we have any concrete plans this weekend other than trying not to melt.  It's supposed to be swamp ass hot and I have no intent of partaking in that shizz.  I do want to get to the farmers market as soon as they open and I'm hoping it's not a stagnant morning so it's at least tolerable.  It's in a self righteous part of town so I need to get in and out before my lack of filter gets me in trouble.  Me + heat + obnoxious turds could = jail.

It's also grocery weekend so I need to take care of that.  I did a test recipe the other night and couldn't stop smiling so I think ahi will be on the list.

What are you guys into this weekend?

  2. As always, I love your Friday line-up! The potassium foods was good timing for me because I have to limit my potassium....I never realized what a big deal it is to have too much potassium in your blood. Kind of scary. Enjoy the Farmer's Market and have a great weekend!

    1. I hope everything is okay! I know when my FIL was on dialysis, he had to limit potassium and they gave him a poster to hang on the fridge saying DON'T eat these! I was surprised how much stuff had so much of it!
