Good morning Bea. It's looking like it's going to be a gorgeous day here today. We'll be packing up and heading to Key West this morning. At least we don't have to get on another plane!!

Yesterday we spent a few hours at a place called Theater By the Sea. It was like a miniature Sea World without all the shops. Very nice indeed. All of their animals were rescues. There's a lagoon with several large tortoises with all manner of problems. Some with missing appendages and one that was born deformed so that it didn't have use of it's back legs and tail. They had a floatation device on top of it's shell so it could dive to feed and then resurface. He was huge so it's obvious he's been taken care of for many years. Very interesting!

Nice picture. And I bet you're looking at it wondering how he got so grown up so fast. Looks like a lovely setting for taking pictures too!
It's an incredible journey to watch a child grow from a cuddly little boy into a man. Even the youngest (who will be going to his Senior Prom in just 7 years) is showing more and more signs of maturity and responsibility. It's just amazing!

That picture was taken at McNay Art Museum. Lots and lots of other people were doing the same thing too. The McNay and Sunken Gardens (SA Japanese Tea Garden) are THE places to go to get those special photos.

Edamame is immature soy beans. I tried to eat a whole pod, shell and all. I'll bet you a dollar I never try to do that again. Although the shells are technically edible, they make corn husks seem tender. After I chewed the shell for a few minutes I spit it out. An after-the-fact Google search learned me that people don't eat the shells.

Interesting imitation hummus. What do you think price-wise and taste-wise?
Good questions. It's not only imitation hummus, it's imitation guacamole too. It's quite tasty... I put in enough horseradish to make sure of that. It's ridiculously healthy, and the ingredients to make about 2 cups of it cost no more than a dollar.

Aw, you got it. I just didn't want to seem to be happy about what I considered a bad situation - even if it isn't new.

Day-um. dat recipe sounds gooood!
Thanks, Iffstah! I said there was no fat and no sodium but for accuracy I should have said that there are small amounts of fat in the beans and the almond milk, and a small amount of sodium in the almond milk. I don't think the almond milk added much to the flavor.... I needed to add liquid but water would have worked just as well, I think.

As a vegetarian I pretty much love anything vegetable…except three: celery, okra and edamame. Don't ask me why…I can't stand their taste :?:

Not standing the taste is good enough for me. As for peanut butter filled celery, don't waste real food - like peanut butter
