Think the next couple batches of tomatoes will get turned into soup. Finished my last jar of tomato soup the other night. Nothing really fancy, cooked and strained tomatoes, roux, salt, pepper, worchestershire and a couple other spices.

I like to can it in wide mouth pints for to go lunches.

A couple days ago I had a pinched nerve in my foot and didn't feeling like cooking anything. I found a can of tomato soup and decided to have that with a couple grilled cheese. It was so good!! I crushed up some soda crackers in it.. I honestly wouldn't have traded it for a steak.

I know homemade is way better, but when it comes to comfort food I think tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich is hard to beat.

I'm 6' 240lbs.. I clean my plate and anyone else's who can't finish their meal lol!. But there is always new food the next day so I don't always save stuff.

There was still rationing when I was a kid. My dad was a biologist with a first class degree in agriculture, he could slice a joint as thinly as preparing a microscope slide, but he grew lots of great vegetables to go with it.

My husband is a very lean person. He is 6 foot 3 inches, and about 190 lbs. wish he'd at least get to 200 one day. He grew up eating lots of starch also. The first Thanksgiving meal I had with his family was nuts, no green food, all starch food. Corn, bread, potatoes, perogies, and then sausages, turkey, gravy. and pies for dessert. The next Thanksgiving I brought green beans and light alternatives for dessert

My skinny husband, one thing he does that annoys me with food is, as he is 2nd to dish up what he wants, he will leave like 2 Tablespoons of something in the pan. Like I want to scream take it all. But no there is a little mouthful left in the pan. SMH.

There has been a time or two I've struggled to pay bills but I'm very thankful that from the time I could walk I was taught how to hunt, fish and forage wild edibles as well as gardening and cooking. It's impossible for me to imagine what it's like to worry about not having enough food when it's everywhere I look if needed.

He must have a high metabolism.. or extremely physically active.

its the high metabolism. He naps 3 times a day. He is active about the house, but normal house stuff. mostly now working on the show car. So, no, no jogging, or exercise. Its me that goes for a half mile walk 5 x a week.

Growing up. My parents also had money issues. Taught me to be very thrifty. Even today, I am careful with spending money.

Half a mile will be about 1500 to 1800 steps, they reckon somewhere between six to ten thousand a day to change your fitness level. Of course you will be walking other times as well, but I doubt it will be enough to bring you up to those levels. I wear a step counter, a normal day up and down the garden, or round the shops, will take me to four or five thousand, a three or four mile walk will take me up to ten and a half to fourteen thousand, and I average about ten thousand a day over the week. I certainly feel better since I started doing it. Mind you, we have some beautiful countryside to do it in around here.

On mile is 5280 feet, a number for some reason I remember. I do have arthritis, so to save some of myself for my garden walk about, steps in the house ect, I can only do so much for the day.

 

[Oliver Buckle]

You have my sympathy for the arthritis, though it is really only my hands that really have it. Sometimes when I shake hands I find I can't straighten two of my fingers at all, I'm sure some people must think I am a freemason.

It would make more sense to use time instead of steps. For example if walking half a mile at a normal pace takes you 15 minutes, then you know you are getting much more out of it physically if you do it in 5-10 minutes. Counting steps doesn't tell you much physically, since it depends how fast you move your legs when it comes to getting the heart pumping.

That said, doing any physical activity outside is healthy.. walking half a mile even slowly is much better than not doing it at all.

I wear a plastic object on one of my fingers, its called a OVAL Eight. keeps my one finger from Swanning over to the side, so keeps it straight at the joint area. My physical therapist showed me them. they come in various sizes. Amazon has them, to me cheap. just know you ring size. Easy on and easy off. I don't wear it 24 hours, probably 18 hours.
