What I'm Reading This Week #22

Howdy do and welcome to the last Friday of May.  😑  Even though it was a short week, it always seems just a tinge longer than the previous week.  I'm getting antsy because I want to see blooms.  When you're growing from seed, it requires a patience I don't naturally have and trying to keep things from getting to everything before it has a chance to.  Then reading about some God awful hornworm that can just come in and decimate your tomato plants overnight.  It makes me wonder at what point do I put up the insect netting over the bucket veggies.  Other than that, not much else going on this week. Let's hop straight into: Does Walking Build Muscle, Burn Fat, or Both ?  (The part about e-scooters is often a discussion as kids on them and e bikes rocket past us in the park or on a sidewalk going 20 mph.  These kids are going to have ZERO muscle.)

Hump Day Poll: Thanksgiving Pivot

(Homegirl's like "screw it, more pie for me this year!  Plates optional!"  Source)

Many of us are pivoting this Thanksgiving so that leads me to wonder:

What, if anything, is changing about your menu this year?  Still preparing it yourself?  Are you doing takeout from a restaurant?  Doing a Thanksgiving to go type deal from a restaurant or grocery store?

It's just the Mr and I and we'll be eating exactly what we eat every Thanksgiving and thankfully we won't have to worry about someone bringing the wrong rolls because I secured those bad boys a week ago.  Nothing will be different except not having to rush around, not having to pick a spot so people I don't want near me won't sit by me, and no awkward silences or not have to endure snippiness when someone inevitably irritates someone else.  So I'm pretty stoked about taking a 'break year' if even I'm not happy about the reason why.  Maybe it'll make future gatherings a little more mellow.

    No guests this year, just me and Mom. I'm making the same as always. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    Had a tooth extraction today so more mashed potatoes and stuffing for me and less turkey but otherwise looking forward to a quieter day and some snuggle time in front of the fireplace. We have a 1-hour family conference call scheduled for early evening to say hi - and that will probably be just enough for me. Happy Thanksgiving!

    For the first time we are ordering to-go Thanksgiving dinners from a local restaurant. I found out last week another local (my favorite place) was also doing them and cooking in the 100 yr old ovens... RATS! Didn't hear about that until we placed this order but that's okay. It's still local and we are grateful to not have to cook during this insane time with our hours. Even better...no dishes. LOL
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day without any of the family dramas that ensue with humans!

    Honestly I am looking forward to this one. I know it is just us but I have had to put up with drama from extended family at Thanksgiving my entire life and this is a break. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wish this on everybody every year - but I am going to enjoy a totally drama free Thanksgiving for once in my life and I am happy about that! Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Let's Eat!
