Tuesday, Blogger, Avon.

 CFLAs it turned out, Tuesday hadn’t finished with us. Later in the evening I went to turn on the a/c in the dark and couldn’t quite see what I was doing so turned the dial too far. There was a big flash in the kitchen and the a/c died. Managed to get the a/c going by changing outlets (Wednesday morning fixed the fuse) but the kitchen light was gone. One of those big, expensive CFLs. I think Tuesday is a day I would like to forget.

For a few days the Blogger Dashboard hasn’t been working properly, so Alex J. Cavenaugh uses Feedly, I decided, with his assistance, to use the same. I transferred all the names/URLs I needed and Wednesday morning started to use it. I then discovered Blogger Dashboard is working fine again now. However, I have Feedly all set up now so that’s a good thing.

Last night we went to a farewell do for our Superintendent and his wife. He is retiring because of ill health. At the same time we met avonthe new Super and his wife, Bill and Peggy. I told Bill I was the Avon Lady and they want my card as they and family do order stuff now sand again. All new customers welcome. A friend from bowling asked me for an Avon book for a friend in her building. When I asked if they had an Avon rep she said no and perhaps I could provide books for her building. 19 floors she says. Hopefully I might get a few customers.

This one came from Cooking.com and I thought it looked pretty tasty. Anything with tomatoes is usually appealing to me. You know me, I would not use reduced fat mayonnaise.

Tomato and Basil Finger Sandwiches

Source: © EatingWell Magazine
4 servings

Rec Image
A smear of reduced-fat mayonnaise and a little fresh basil allow perfectly ripe tomatoes to shine.

INGREDIENTS
4 slices whole-wheat bread
8 teaspoons reduced-fat mayonnaise, divided
4 thick slices tomato
4 teaspoons sliced fresh basil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS
Cut bread into rounds slightly larger than your tomato—a biscuit cutter works well. Spread each slice with 2 teaspoons mayonnaise. Top with tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper.

Have a great day
Jo

    1. Well Feedly does work JoJo. Maybe you should become a member there just in case.

  3. Well, now you have two options for following blogs. Always a good thing.
    And hopefully you're done now with Tuesday.

  4. I started using Feedly when Google shut down its reader. I've gotten to like it the more I use it. I like being able to follow any RSS or Atom feed regardless of its source, and the interface is nice, both on the Web and on the iPhone. Hope you like it!

  5. Thanks for the info about Feedly Jo - must check it out. Not all Wordpress blogs are showing up in my Blogger reader and it would be good to have a mobile app for reading as well as for blogging.

  7. Your Tuesday sounds grim. Mine wasn't much better. Phone died, vacuum cleaner died and my daughter found out her quite young dog has untreatable lymphoma. May things improve for us both.

    1. I think I would prefer my Tuesday. So sorry to hear about the dog. That would really be upsetting. You're right I hope things do improve especially for your daughter.
