While cycling yesterday, (no TV working), I decided to focus, albeit iPad videos, on learning to make Matzoh Balls. Sinkers and floaters.

Question – How many Matzohs make 1 cup of Matzoh meal?



And what does one make when you have left-over Potato Kugel? Picadillo, of course.

Days 463, 464, and 465 – (AD 1,624) – 71.8 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Oh yeah, and before I forget to mention, I just noticed that I have now surpassed my 35,000-mile goal. This morning’s total is now 35,034.9 miles.

I now have 3,166.7 miles left to pedal on my Schwinn Fitness Cycle.

On Wednesday morning I pedaled 24.2 miles on my Schwinn 170. On Friday I pedaled another 24.1 miles. This morning I pedaled 23.5 miles. Totals are now 35,034.9 miles; 56,383.3 kilometers.

I am now located at 22.47% to my new destination, Eumenides Dorsum.

Good reading -

New York Times – Opinion – “The Spider in My Life”, Margaret Renki,

“I have tried some of these distractions myself, but I am taking my greatest comfort in a plastic bin full of earthworms turning garbage into food for flowers, in one small spider crouching among a hundred silken strands that gleam like silver in the sunlight, in a cloud of fruit flies on their way to becoming a baby hummingbird’s wings.”

Our Cranes Quilts Update –

Tops for 2 more Cranes Quilts - 11.40 and 12.40 completed.

Now on to creating the quilt sandwich and transferring our quilting design.

Answer - Yes, our Cranes Quilts will not be a part of our current "Two Hallways" exhibit.

"Hope - Our Cranes Project" is scheduled for display early 2019. Details will follow.

Our “Two Hallways” exhibit at the Jimmie B. Keel Library on Bearss Avenue in Tampa has been set up. It took us approximately 9 hours to place 26 of quilts that we have designed and construction. The Quilts were created from 2009 through 2018.

“Two Hallways” will be on exhibit August 1 through and including September 30.

Day 462 – (AD 1,621) – 24.0 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today I pedaled 24.0 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals are now 34,963.1 miles; 56,267.8 kilometers.

I am now located at 13.92% to my new destination, Eumenides Dorsum.

As I have written, I am now consistent at cycling my Schwinn Fitness Cycle 5 days a week for 1 hour.

And I would not be able to keep up if I hadn't found a way to keep my mind preoccupied, while my legs are working out. That way is to watch a movie or a continuous TV series. 

Currently I am wading through the original Star Trek series.

I am currently watching Episode 20 of Season 1.

Something to consider -

“A Neuroscientist Explains How Trump Supporters Are Easily Hoodwinked Because of This One Psychological Problem”, Alternet, Bobby Azarian, July 23, 2018

“The effect is a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge. Or, stated more harshly, they are “too dumb to know they are dumb.” “

Jim’s Gotta Eat – https://jimsgottaeat.blogspot.com/

Trying 2 types of Bread today – White Whole Wheat (sorry about the alliteration) Honey Bran with Poppy and Sesame Seeds. That’s one.

And the other Thai Fried Red Onion Sourdough Bread.

House smells gloriously like a bakery right now.

Supper last night was an attempt at Hot and Sour Soup, aka "Chinese Junk Soup"

Blood sugar this morning recorded at 101 mg/dL.

Our Cranes Quilts Update –

Time to tackle Orange Cranes Quilt 10.40.

Sandwich completed. Quilting design drafted, and actual quilting has begun.

Andy and I are both amazed as each of our Cranes Quilts take on a life of its own.

Days 459, 460, & 461 – (AD 1,620) – 23.7 + 23.9 + 23.9 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Friday morning, I pedaled 23.7 miles on my Schwinn 170. Saturday, I cycled another 23.9 miles. And today I added another 23.9 miles. Totals are now 34,939.1 miles; 56,229.1 kilometers.

I am now located at 11.06% to my new destination, Eumenides Dorsum and goal point on Mars. The new distance is 840 miles. My calculation, I changed on Friday were a wee bit off. I had to correct it today.

Something new and different –

Why bother talk about politics?

Most politicians and administrative bureaucrats are scoundrels?

And I used “scoundrel” out of choice for the synonyms provided by Oxford University Press. Rogue, rascal, good-for-nothing, reprobate, un-principled.

Jim’s Gotta Eat – https://jimsgottaeat.blogspot.com/

A couple of days ago I decided to opt out of making Bread, just for the day. Definitely not for good.

I tried my hand at making Crumpets.

And then I tried another first – Scones.

If I say so myself, I had to have 2. They were extremely buttery and sugary. 



Did I say I love experimenting with Asian recipes?

Supper last night - Mongolian Chicken with Bean Sprouts, Vegetables, plus on Jasmine Sushi Rice.

Tonight, I'm going to try Hot and Sour Soup and Green Onion Pancakes.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

The quilting design and binding of Cranes Quilt 09.40 has been completed.

Blocking, sleeve and label remaining.

Each of the Crane blocks are 3-inch square and therefore this is a small quilt.

It is a piece to our Cranes Spectrum. 32 more Cranes Quilts left to go.

Something new and different –


It is everyone's responsibility to focus on changing the Congress in the upcoming November elections to insure a House capable of applying the brakes to #45's and his cohorts' ignorance.

Cranes Quilts Update -

Quilting designs have been drafted and completed for all 6 Cranes Quilts of the Orange Set.

Something new and different –

And yes, I finally figured out how SnagIt was incorrectly saving my color images as black and white. The fix; as I am saving an image there is an Options link. Somehow the Options black and white choice had been tripped. I changed it to color, and viola.

As a last resort I asked Google Search the question. I was directed to the correcting link.

Jim’s Gotta Eat – https://jimsgottaeat.blogspot.com/

Absolutely fabulous! Fregola Sarda con Scampi, Piselli, e Aspargi. Wow!

I’ll make this one again.

I got the recipe from my copy of "Autentico, Cooking Italian the Authentic Way". Excellent book. A copy of the page 200 is on Google Books.

Reading – “Here’s How Much Money You Save By Cooking At Home”, Forbes, Priceonomics, July 10, 2018.

 “But just how much money do you save by cooking at home? We decided to analyze our recipe data to find out the true cost of cooking at home from scratch, compared to delivery from a restaurant or a meal kit service.” 

Okay, I know that it has always been Lay's tagline to "Bet you can't eat just one!", but has the over consumption of chips and/or ruffles really set the Aussie mindset in a twirl? So I expect more than one is a spud's overdose?

"Australian police crack down on European potato chip drug syndicate", CNN, Bani Sapra, July 11, 2018

Google Earth still saving in black and white.

Something new and different –

I've got into the habit of messaging the originator of a Facebook friend request. I do this instead of immediately responding to their friend request.

Last one's, (supposed a Facebook employee), conversation eventually offered me $195K.

 My final retort was that I would only accept the equivalent in FB shares.
