I think Hawaii was the only place I lived where temp inside and outside was pretty equivalent. XD lol My cabin didn't even have windows. It was just mesh.

lol! I agree with Total, Do the iconic Floridian thing and have a hoodie with shorts.

My car should be fixed by the end of the week, hopefully. I live with a mechanic, so I can get free help from him. <3 Thank god. I always dread shop trips.
Good morning.
-sips my coffee-
It's a bit chilly here, but luckily not frosty. My car broke down this weekend, so it doesn't have heat/ac right now. I had to drive it this morning and again, thankful it wasn't any colder out.
@Wildfire: Hopefully your tropical plants will bounce back once the warmer weather comes back. I bought stuff back on Friday to start gardening again, I still need soil/potting dirt.

Have fun grocery shopping. I'm bouncing offline for a bit, I'm expecting friends to show up today.

@GoblinsAndTea: LOL! Rolled a die, I love it.
Both your gifs look great, I can see how it was a tie.

Your d&d gif is cute as heck!
@Totalanimefan: I think we were talking about my roommate not liking dinner, I don't think it was texture, I really think it was his intestines really not knowing what to do with a simple meal.
@Purpsy: It's good to see you back online! Earlier this week, I legit was like "I haven't seen purpsy in a while. -eyes narrow- that's weird." <3 I'm happy to see you.
Feels like 50% of the people I know have had Covid since New Year. Sounds like your recovering okay, how's the rest of your family?
@Wildfire: Are your plants doing okay? How are the frosty mornings going?

I went offline all day yesterday, I went furniture shopping. yay, Finally found a dresser for my husband and a recliner set to replace my broken chair. cx
Good investments. and it took 3 guys to unload the dresser because I really know how to pick 'heavy quality'. lmao. Drives my husband nuts. My chair was heavy quality too and he was glad to see that go. lol. And here I come with a new heavy furniture item. XD
@Wildfire: You're in the thick of it all. :3 That's awesome. Once flights don't require covid tests and I've gotten through the baby stage with this unborn baby, I'll look at traveling again. :) I've heard a lot about FL, and seen pictures, but it would be pretty neat to go see it myself. :3
My dad swears alligator and rattlesnake both taste like chicken! lol
I'm pretty sure my uncle with his 6+ kids lives near you somewhere. I don't have a relationship with that side of the family though.

Your animation looks amazing.
I'm excited to see your friends' gif, if you can share it here. And who wins! :3

/Call me invested in this/ lol

Oh my gosh! They look Amazing! You even put a snowflake on the top! I wanna eat it, but I wanna admire it too! *o*
Are they delicious?!
@Wildfire: Good morning.
oh my gosh, you've got to be plop center in a populated area. =O If I ever make my way to FL for any reason, I hope I can rely on you to show me some good foods. I'd love to try alligator. XD lol
@blue: I really didn't take to fish until I was an adult. I still will only eat Tuna and Salmon. I'll occasionally eat some sushi with my husband.
I'm not familiar with pierogi, but I'm over here googling recipes. <3 Looks like something I would totally love to eat. You might have to give me some ideas here, there are a lot of different recipes for this.
I eat potet klubb bland with a side of broccoli. However, if you were to make the balls small, you could toss them into a vegetable, pork, or beef soup.
We always make a lot of potetklubb (potato dumplings), we have a tradition of slicing them thin in the morning and frying them up for breakfast. Either way, this food is extremely filling and if you aren't a potato demon, it's not yummy. lol.

I live in a small town in Oregon state, our restaurants are almost entirely Mexican cuisine. I would love it if something more exciting moved into our area.
@blue: YOUR ART! it's amazing! I love her! me! <3 wow! I totally appreciate your time and style for drawing my avi. <3
I wanna draw yours now. :3 Awe, I feel loved.

I found out my [adopted] daughter is allergic to some food coloring. Red dye being one. She was 6 and ate a red velvet cupcake and minutes later red was everywhere, it was a terrible way to find out her body hates red dye.

I've learned a couple of dishes from my family. But nothing 'normal', as far as Scandinavian foods. I can make crepes, lefse, krumkake and my favorite- PotetKlubb. OH and Swedish meatballs. XD lol. We really only make these around the holidays.
I grew up on the Washington state coast. So lots of salmon. <3 I used to hate it, but now I miss Salmon.
Good Morning. <3
I can definitely agree that cooking meals [for the first time] and meal planning is intimidating.
I've changed my entire food diet because of having children. :> I taught them at a young age what the difference between 'real food' and 'filler food' is. Which is something I wasn't really taught at home or school. We had health classes that very briefly went over diet health, but it was usually "as you know- ___ food is good for your heart." and it was easy to zone out after that.
My mom grew up eating garden greens and cooking with her mom. same with my dad, he grew up on the farm. I am child #9, the older kids got taught the home skills, and I got leftover worn-out parenting. Mind you, I'm not complaining. :3 I love my parents and they did their best. :3
-
This pregnancy is seriously opening my eyes to how much fake flavoring and coloring is in quick foods. I've had to cut those out. and pre-pregnancy, I had already cut out preservative foods. =O

I'm making zucchini chips today. :3


@blue: omgosh! I'm so curious where you grew up. <3 [I feel like I've asked you before] Growing up with reindeer meat sounds amazing. :3
I really love game meat. I was given a Norwegian cook book and most of the picture-meals make me drool, but I have no access to game meats. lol!
@Totalanimefan: It tastes really good with toasted bread. I would even say making bread bowls would be worth it with this meal.
I enjoy the food, but my kids and roommate are complaining. Sucks to be them because this is what they're getting. XD
My husband loves it. :3 Or me. lol!

lol, my roommate is fun to watch. His diet is really bad and it's entertaining watching him trying to eat this. He's determined to finish his bowl.
I'm definitely learning that the pre-made and boxed 'healthy' is incredibly expensive. I've stably lived in one place for almost 2 years now and I'm now learning about shelf-life foods and stuff like that. :3

LOL my roommate just finished his food. He chased it with Dr Pepper. I'm laughing at him because he entertained me.
