Tropical Storm Lee is beginning to make an impact here, although not as much as in Louisiana, from the info on the Weather Channel. DH got the dogs out for a walk right after a rain band went through, when it appeared we'd have maybe an hour of dry weather.
Not to be deterred, I went out and walked 3.1 miles, only getting drizzled on periodically. I figured it wasn't much more than some extra sweat would be, so no need to abort the mission! There were a handful of other folks out and about walking, biking, jogging, or walking their dogs, so it seems we all were trying to take advantage of what dry weather we could.
Yesterday, and even late on Thursday, it seems everyone heard the weather forecast and set out to mow their lawns. Even the lawn services seemed to be everywhere, frantically getting done what they could in advance of the rain. I managed to get our lawn mowed and edged so it wouldn't be a jungle by the middle of next week when the rain hopefully, should end.
I tried out a new vegetable a few days ago and learned a lesson. I bought Pictsweet Edaname & Sea Salt. No butter, no sauce, no cheese. It's a frozen veggie that you just steam in the microwave and eat. Technically, you have to shell all the beans first because they say the pods are not to be eaten. Well, these guys are really good, but I thought they were extra sweet. The ingredients turned out to be edaname, sea salt and a slight percentage of maltodextrin, an additive that imparts a sweetness. It's not an artificial sweetener or sugar alcohol, but it IS a carbohydrate. I guess this is just another example of the food industry adding sweetness or sugar when it's not necessary. I'll probably still eat this item, but I was disappointed.
