WLL - Fred - July 28th
I'm telling ya, we are having some really bizarre weather here. Yesterday I had
to relent and turn the air back on, the house was really hot (was 88 upstairs) and humid. I woke this morning, puttered about the house for a bit then ran out to the mailbox ... dang was it cold! Temps dropped to mid 60's at some point, had to change back into jeans and a sweatshirt. It is currently 58F/85% humidity ... and I see where my brother is located it is registering 96% humidity ... guess what's coming our way. g So the temps are cooler, but the air is certainly moist. g Too cool to run the air so windows are opened again, which results in more humidity in the house, more in my limbs I fear. According to the forecast, we are to have at least 3 more days of this. And I do expect MY weight to be up tomorrow ... sodium, sodium and more sodium for dinner this evening. sigh Joyce On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 07:06:36 -0700, Fred wrote: Well, I guess yesterday's 90F here was somewhat responsible along with the sushi (soy sauce) and teriaki (soy sauce) for tight sneakers and sausage fingers most of last night!!!

LOL! Well if you like *chilly*, you'd love it here. The downstairs thermostat
showed 68F in the house ... ran quickly to the bank, the car thermometer showed 61F, and now my weather program on my desktop says it's 58F/80% humidity. Damn is it cold. I would ask where summer went, but I'm not sure we really ever saw it.

WLL - Fred - July 28th
9:15 pm - 58F, 68% humidity, dewpoint 48F, windchill 57F (YES!
windchill. Windchill temps have been included in the weather reports the last couple of days.) This morning's temp when I woke up was 47F. Yikes! That matched a record low.

WLL - Fred - July 28th
My son is currently working on the construction sites, said he had to drag out his
Carhart coat for work today (for those in warmer climates ... this is a heavy duty brand, very very warm and durable). He also asked if he could run to the Farm supply store and buy himself a pair of the winter construction coveralls - all the other operators were toasty warm in theirs, while he froze his fanny off. g Chicago news said we did set record lows today, and expect to again tomorrow. This is definitely not convertible weather. BUT .... I did use those heated seats in the car today ... very, very nice. g Joyce On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 21:20:53 -0500, Prairie Roots wrote: 9:15 pm - 58F, 68% humidity, dewpoint 48F, windchill 57F (YES! windchill.

WLL - Fred - July 28th
Oh, I have found them at my grocer - have a package in my freezer. Hub has tried
them, I haven't. I forgot again tonite - maybe tomorrow. Careful now Fred. Your homemade icecream and cheesecake sound delicious, but do you REALLY want to go there? g Joyce On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 18:42:29 -0700, Fred wrote: Does not hurt to try. So have at it, if you find them. Hmmm, should I take a cooler to work or go out shopping tonight. I do need the fixings (shall I admit this after my whoosh...) for home made mint choc chip ice cream for a potluck on Sat and then ingredients for a Chocolate Cheesecake for my secretary's birthday on Monday. On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 15:07:55 -0500, Joyce wrote: Hmmmm, so I would probably like the cookie part then - a bit softer. I might have to remember to give them a try. I think my problem is that I really did like the s'more ones .. and can't find them now. sigh The next closest thing for me is the vanilla with chocolate cookie. Joyce On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 07:38:46 -0700, Fred wrote: The orange has a white cookie. Not exactly crisp - like the chocolate but NOT chocolate! (G) And I recall she found them on sale at Fred Meyer (a kroger subsidiary) Hmm. Maybe I should head to Fred Meyer with my cooler chest.... No, actually, not for the orange - I probably would not buy them - there's my review, I guess. On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 01:28:43 -0500, Joyce wrote: I still haven't tried them. If it's the same cookie type they used in the strawberry, then I probably won't like them. It was too crispy for me. Or not enough chocolate. g Joyce On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 18:46:28 -0700, Fred wrote: Well, somewhere my secretary found the orange ones today. They were our afternoon snack. Not bad but I could probably skip them. On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 07:09:17 -0700, Fred wrote: They can dump strawberry, not that I've even tried it. I think retooling the flavors has to cost a bit. But then the price some stores charge for them, they can afford to retool daily. Haven't yet seen the orange ones On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 01:22:53 -0500, Joyce wrote: Hmmmmmm, I'm not 100% positive but I think our grocery store did have a few packages of the cherry ones last week. They could have been old stock though. BUT we also did have the orange cream variety. I bought a package but haven't tried them yet. Hub did, said they were very good. Yes, too many short lived varieties. Is it a marketing ploy to keep us always checking and rechecking - that urge to have to try something new? I would assume that it would have to be somewhat costly for the company to continually change, as well as confusing. I wish they would keep the s'more variety as permanent - could change the mint,strawberry or peanut butter to slimited edition. At least, that's how my taste preferences go. g Joyce On Thu, 29 Jul 2004 18:38:35 -0700, Fred wrote: I checked for cherry today while shopping where I purchased the first batch. NONE. I find it interesting that they have all of these short-lived flavors. It has to be costly, no, to tool up for another flavor? On Thu, 29 Jul 2004 01:36:11 -0500, Joyce wrote: Mmmmmmmmm, sounds good ... kind of like the old dreamsicles maybe? I'll keep my eyes open, although I STILL have half a package of the cherry ones in the freezer. I tend to forget they are there (as I scoop out other icecream). sigh Joyce On Thu, 29 Jul 2004 00:36:55 GMT, "Prairie Roots" wrote: Slow DOWN over those bumps. Not to make things worse but I discovered the latest "Slimited Edition" Skinny Cow sandwich flavor: Orange Creme. It's orange and vanilla swirled together with vanilla wafers. Haven't opened the package yet so I can't vouch for the taste. Maybe orange isn't your thing? "Fred" wrote in message news:t40gg0t862dui7289fcd2pnejlmp59sbfj@ 4ax.com...
