The meal suggestion for today doesn't do anything for me. With everything else going on the National Senior Health & Fitness Day is very appropriate, I think for most people on this forum and the times we live in. Stay safe & healthy.

Good morning.

Thank you for the Daily Report.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it has been known to bring a smile or two.😉

It's a good time for Senior Health and Fitness Day.  I'll pass on your suggestion for dinner, but thanks anyway.

It's another hot, humid day here.

Have a wonderful day.  Stay healthy.

Thank you for the Daily Report.

Thank you Rich for the Daily report.

 

National Senior Health and Fitness Day -- great -- we all need to stay home.

 

I'll pass on today's dinner suggestion -- too much spice for me.

[Seasick Sailor]

Good morning rich. Thank you for the Daily Report.

We are going to friend's house for dinner tonight. I don't know what they're going to be serving. I love Indian food.

 

Good morning to my fellow Dailyites and wonderful sisters Cat and Denise. Went for dinner with a close friend of ours last night. A lot of tears shed. I do not like goodbyes.

 

Everyone behave yourselves. Stay safe and healthy. XX

Good morning and thank you for the Daily Rich.  I'll pass on the dinner suggestion today.  National Senior Health and Fitness Day.  Good idea.

[cat shepard]

Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! Morning all! Great to see my CC Sisters, Joy & Denise!

 

How appropriate - my gym just started its classes this week!

 

I would want to try tonight’s meal suggestion, before making it. My local Indian restaurant has not reopened yet. Tonight is Moroccan Salmon with cauliflower rice & sweet potatoes for me. I will throw in some dried cranberries & possibly some dried mango. Neither of which sounds very Moroccan, but....

 

Hoping today’s launch goes off as scheduled. If weather permits, I will head to one of our local ocean parks to view the launch.

 

Stay well everyone!

Good Morning all and thanks Rich for the update. 
Tonight is going to be leftover pot roast and mashed potatoes, not sure about another veggie. 
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning; thanks for the Daily!  Money can't buy happiness, especially when there's no place to go.  Your meal suggestion doesn't work for us - I think I'll see if DH can cremate something on the barbecue tonight.  And wine.

@Seasick Sailor I'm with you when it comes to goodbyes . . . I bawl like a baby.  Can't help it, always have.

 

Smooth Sailing!

Gerry

Thank you for the "Daily."  I so want the cruises to start up soon.

[gigianne]

Thanks for the updates.  We too shall pass on the dinner suggestion.  As for seniors health day, we are following the latest protocols and trying to stay fit by being outside and working in the garden.  Right now, money can't even buy us a last minute cruise.

Oh, so true.  I'll pass on the dinner suggestion but will enjoy my cherry pie tonight.  Looks like Captain Jeroen Schuchmann is taking the Amsterdam out for a little spin.

After our quarantine menu the last two months, we're up to trying pretty much anything!

Denise - do you have an Aldi near you? My supper comes from Aldi in a kit a la Blue Apron. For $9.99! And it is enough salmon for two meals. And enough of the cauliflower & sweet potato mixture for 3 - 4 meals.  
 

Warning: if you use the entire spice packet in the rice, it packs a decent kick. If you like heat, you will love this. If not, use half the packet.

 

And it is very easy to put together.

Thanks, Rich. Ill pass on the egg curry because as much as I love curry, hubby doesn't like spicy anything, but thanks for the suggestion

Senior Health and Fitness? DH and I participate in Grow Young Fitness. At the moment, he is snoring on the couch. I'll try to get him up and moving shortly, although, to be fair, he did the trimming of the grass earlier today.

Have a happy day!

 Here is a pic of the kit.

 

 But the kit is in the frozen food island near the checkouts. It is Wild salmon - flash frozen. I have only seen it in my Aldi for the past three weeks - so may be a seasonal special.

 

Aldi’s produce beats all my other local grocery stores’, and sometimes even my local farmer’s  market.

Thank you for the daily report.

Here we have a lovely sunny autumn day.

You are peaking my interest in checking out Aldi. One opened in the next town over a while ago.

I confess, I have not spent a great deal of time exploring the “inner aisles”. But their produce, dairy and frozen food areas offer great options.

The two things I have not succeeded in finding- a tasty low fat Greek yogurt & a coffee that I like. Not bad for a place that basically reduced my grocery bill by 50%.

 

Have fun exploring.
