It’ll probably eventually get there, but as a former long-time Red Cross instructor, I can say that at least they are fairly conservative - and slow - in adopting new skills/changes. They were usually at least a cycle behind AHA on CPR protocols.
And ouch on the asthma…hope you don’t need to use the inhaler often.
Hate loving it because of why, but I love how quickly this has become accessible to lay people. It was only a very few years ago that this got added to my EMT scope of practice here, and now it’s even more accessible. There’s a free dispenser box here in town.
My first (pre-sugar free) modification was brown sugar in the crust. Now I use 1:1 brown Splenda in the crust & 1:1 Whole Earth erythritol & monk fruit blend (usually get at Costco) in the base. Have bumped the sour cream up to a full 16 oz tub, and bake 15 min longer than the recipe states.
Baked NY-style. It started as The Frugal Gourmet’s recipe from his original 1977 cookbook. Dad made it 1st for years & we both did a 1.5 recipe. Basically 3 blocks cream cheese, sour cream, 3 eggs, sugar, vanilla & butter, with crust that is graham cracker crumbs with sugar & butter.
I almost needed a jacket today, and Thursday it’s going to be record high temps…as in up to 40 degrees above the average (which is in the 50s-60s). 😵💫
Sounds like a great tradition! I sadly haven’t been to New Orleans since before Katrina…was there just 2 months prior for a conference, then in MS for the response (colleagues were in NO).
It took us a bit to discover this one. I think her first request several years ago was for me to figure out how to make my cheesecake sugar free, which I think I’ve finally succeeded getting to where it tastes & has a texture about the same as the sugared one.
Sharing is caring
Sacrilege! 😝
Just like brownies
I imagine it does! 😳
Absolutely! I do this with pretty much any part in a box if it’s not taped/sealed shut.
The dial-up download “speeds” were something else.
These were a bit makeshift since I didn’t have proper rye, but still tasty.
And this sounds like a story.
So: basmati works great. I really love the rice component…it’s almost like Mexican rice that has “popped” a bit. This might even be better than making it with standard white rice.

Oh, that looks good! 😋
And since Cajun is on the menu, sazeracs are the cocktail du jour.
Have I ever mentioned that these got me through grad school? 🥃
Ask and ye shall receive. 👋 🍑
Making a big ol’ pot of Cajun goodness tonight. My favorite jambalaya recipe…trying it with basmati rice tonight since we’ve discovered @elleqsabine.bsky.social can eat that due to its low glycemic index. Since basmati is amazing in general I’m sure it will be great.
Note: biryani attempt next week
A good day for sore tushies
Excellent! My wife did too, though I didn’t get pics of her pink cheeks. 😉
The good ol’ days. 😂
Not terribly long (Hoppers) but it’s a bit of a drive away so we have a few hours.
I’m sure she’s seen me swat though I do generally try to be discreet about it. I jokingly said the other day that I was going to stop being so discreet though since we haven’t as much alone time.
It is a distinctive sound, though perhaps more so to those of us with attuned ears.
This is where “Find My” on the iPhone comes in handy. 😂
Though we almost had that happen when I was spanking a friend on the couch upstairs while she slept downstairs…the night we discovered she no longer slept soundly & consistently. That was a sad day.
Yup. And “poking”.
Daughter announced unexpectedly that she’s going out to see a movie with a HS friend tonight.
So as soon as @elleqsabine.bsky.social is done sitting at her desk for work I can work on making it uncomfortable for her to sit. 😈
I’m also always annoyed when I buy a new light fixture or lamp or something & discover it uses a non-standard bulb as I’m installing it. Why would you do that???
Absolutely not. I can’t count the number of times I’ve thought I had the right type of bulb or right size nut/bolt & then had to shamefacedly turn around & go back to the store.
Most recent time was in December leaving on our trip for daughter’s graduation & having a turn signal go out. 😂
