Options for your 2026 pIan are shifting, take a look

Yeah I tried that new recipe you sent last weekend. It turned out better than I expected actually. The sauce needed a bit more salt and I added some extra garlic because you can never have too much. The kids loved it which is always a win. I am thinking of trying the variation with chicken instead next time since we have some in the freezer. Let me know if you want me to save you the recipe card.

I finally got around to organizing the garage shelves like we talked about. It took most of Saturday but it feels so much better now that everything has a place. I found some old camping gear we forgot we had. The tool wall setup you recommended worked perfectly for keeping things accessible. Next weekend I am planning to tackle the shed if the weather cooperates. Let me know if you want to borrow the shelf brackets I ordered too many.

We finally got around to planting those herbs and they're already sprouting.
I need to send you the photos once everything fills in a bit more.
Also let me know if you still want that book I mentioned.
It's been sitting on my nightstand and I can drop it off whenever.

Hey, have you seen that new documentary about the restoration of old forests? I watched it last night and it was absolutely fascinating. They talked about how certain species of birds are returning to areas that were clear-cut decades ago. It's a slow process, but really encouraging. I'm thinking of volunteering for a local tree-planting group next month. Anyway, just wanted to share that in case you're looking for something interesting to watch. Let me know if you have any other recommendations! Also, I finally signed up for that pottery class I kept talking about. The first session was a total mess-the clay just kept spinning off the wheel! But the instructor was really patient, and by the end, I managed to make a lopsided bowl that somehow resembles a boat. It's surprisingly therapeutic, even when you're bad at it. kAc22esU35OPps You should come with me next time, they have a beginner session on Saturdays. Let me know what you think!

It's a sci-fi novel set in a world where music is a form of magic. The main character is a conductor who discovers that his orchestra can literally reshape reality. The world-building is incredible, and there's this one scene where they play a symphony to stop a tsunami that gave me chills. I'm not usually into sci-fi, but this one really grabbed me. I'd be happy to lend it to you if you're interested. Also, I tried that sourdough starter recipe you sent me. It's currently bubbling away on my kitchen counter, and I'm terrified it's going to die before I can bake bread this weekend. Wish me luck! Honestly, keeping a starter alive is more stressful than my actual job. Anyway, talk soon!

Today Only: 0maha-Steak's Steak SampIer - OnIy 5OO Remain - Grab Yours

Hi there-thanks for asking about how the shelving project turned out. I ended up going with a mix of poplar for the frame and birch ply for the adjustable shelves, mostly because I wanted something that would take paint well without a ton of grain showing through. The trickiest part was getting the shelf pin holes perfectly spaced; I used a drill guide and clamped a straightedge across the sides to keep everything aligned. Each shelf is about 36 inches wide and 12 inches deep, which gives enough room for cookbooks without sagging. I routed a small chamfer on the front edges to soften the look, and after two coats of primer and one of satin enamel, it came out cleaner than I expected. The whole thing is anchored to the wall studs with L-brackets hidden behind the back panel. Let me know if you want the cut list-I saved my notes.

Also, the paint color ended up being a warm gray with just a hint of blue, which matches the trim in the dining area surprisingly well. I was worried it would clash with the oak floors, but it actually picks up the cooler tones in the wood grain. Next time I might try walnut for the shelves just to see how the contrast works.

About that recipe you were curious about-I tried a braised lamb shank approach last weekend and it turned out well enough that I wanted to share the method. I seared the shanks in a heavy pot until they were deeply browned on all sides, then set them aside and cooked down onion, carrot, and celery with a little tomato paste until it started to caramelize. Deglazed with a cup of red wine and let it reduce by about half before adding beef broth, a sprig of rosemary, and a couple of bay leaves. Returned the shanks to the pot, covered it, and let it simmer on low for about two and a half hours. The meat pulled away from the bone cleanly and the sauce thickened nicely on its own without any flour.

I served it over parsnip puree instead of potatoes-just boiled parsnips blended with a splash of cream and butter-and the sweetness balanced the rich lamb. Next time I might add a strip of orange zest to the braising liquid to brighten it up a bit. Let me know if you want the full measurements; I wrote everything down as I went.

Road Kit Courtesy for AAA Licensed Drivers

I think we should go ahead with the lake trip next weekend. The weather forecast looks good and the cabin is still available. I checked with the group and everyone seems fine with the dates. We will need to coordinate who brings what for meals. I can handle the grill and some sides. Sarah said she would bring dessert. We should probably plan for some activities as well. Maybe kayaking or hiking depending on how people feel. The kids will enjoy the playground near the cabin. I will send out a more detailed schedule later this week. Let me know if you think we need to adjust anything before I send the final confirmation to everyone. The drive should take about three hours from the city. We could leave Friday afternoon and come back Sunday. That gives us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the scenery. I am looking forward to it actually. It has been a while since we all got together like this.

I reserved the cabin already under my name. The confirmation number is 4729. They said check in is at 3pm on Friday and checkout is at 11am on Sunday. I made sure to get the one with the larger porch because I know you like sitting outside in the morning. There is also a fire pit which will be nice in the evening. I will bring some firewood. Let me know if anyone has dietary restrictions I should know about for the meal planning. I want to make sure everyone has something they can eat.

I have been looking into the community garden plot assignment process and wanted to share what I found out. The coordinator mentioned that plots are assigned based on application date and neighborhood zone. There is a waitlist for the larger plots near the water spigot. The smaller ones closer to the parking lot tend to have more availability. If you want a specific plot size, I would suggest submitting your application early in the season. They usually open applications in mid March. I can send you the link if you need it. Also, they have a shared tool shed with rakes, shovels, and hoses that members can use. There is a small annual fee for the tool access but the basic plot fee covers water and mulch. I think it is a good setup for anyone who wants to grow vegetables or flowers without having a yard at home. The garden is located behind the community center on Maple Street. I visited last week and the soil looked well maintained. There are raised beds available too if you prefer that option.

I also spoke with someone who has had a plot there for three years. She said the key is to plant early because the summer heat can be intense for certain crops. She recommended tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers as good choices for that location. She also said the community events they hold there are nice. There is a harvest gathering in September.

Today: Convert your expiring Kroger points

Yeah I finally got around to watching that documentary 8GHNTqKaTcezqX you mentioned last week. It was really well done actually the cinematography was gorgeous especially the aerial shots of the coastline. I had no idea about the history of that region so I learned quite a bit. The pacing was a bit slow in the middle section but the last twenty minutes really pulled it together with a surprising twist at the end. I think you would really enjoy it if you have not seen it yet. Let me know what you think when you get a chance to watch it. I am planning to start the new series that just dropped on streaming next week the early reviews have been solid so far so I am optimistic. Anyway let us catch up properly soon maybe this weekend if you are free for coffee or a walk in the park if the weather holds up.

Hey thanks for the recommendation on that Italian place downtown we finally tried it last night and it was fantastic. The pasta was handmade and you could really taste the difference from regular restaurant pasta. We started with the antipasti platter which had a wonderful variety of cured meats and cheeses and then I had the mushroom risotto which was creamy and perfectly cooked with just the right amount of parmesan on top. The tiramisu for dessert was the perfect finish light and not too sweet. We will definitely be going back there again soon. You should come with us next time I know you would love their wine list too. Also I finally started that book you lent me a few months ago and I am really enjoying it the writing style is so engaging and the characters feel very real and relatable. I am about halfway through now and I can not put it down. Let me know if you have any other recommendations for the weekend.

Marriot Stay Appreciation for Your Previous Visit

Regarding the project timeline, I think we should aim to finalize the initial draft by midweek. This gives us enough buffer for the review cycle.

Let me know if you want to discuss the resource allocation for the next phase. Also, I will set up a meeting for Thursday to go over the Q2 milestones. Please confirm your availability. I think we are on track to deliver ahead of schedule if we maintain this pace.

On the hike plan, I checked the trail conditions and they look good for Saturday. We should bring plenty of water and a few snacks. The forecast is partly cloudy with a high of seventy-five degrees. I think starting at eight in the morning is ideal to avoid the afternoon warmth. Let me know if you need to borrow any gear. I have an extra backpack and a map. We can stop at the summit for lunch. I will confirm the meeting spot later this evening.

Your Costco Membership has lapsed - Re: See Options

Just wanted to follow up on our chat about the detour situation. Since the main road construction is running another two weeks, we'll keep using the alternate route through Maple Avenue.
I checked with the crew and they confirmed the timeline is solid. The detour adds about 10 minutes but it's consistent.
Let me know if you want to adjust the delivery schedule. We should let the team know about the extended timeline so they can plan accordingly.
I'll send out a quick update later today.

Hey, yeah I totally agree with you on that. It was such a nice day yesterday I ended up taking the long way home just to enjoy the weather. The park near my place had a lot of people out walking their dogs. I was thinking of maybe going for a hike this weekend if the forecast holds up. Let me know if you want to join. I heard the trails near the lake are pretty nice this time of year. Anyway, just got your message now and figured I'd reply. Hope you're having a good week so far. Catch up later!

Might be worth checking out sometime.

Yeah I finished that project we were talking about. It took a bit longer than expected but the end result was pretty solid. I had to redo a couple of parts because the first version wasn't quite right. Now that it's done I can finally relax a little. I was thinking about what you said regarding the other matter and I think you made a good point. I might look into it further when I get some free time. Thanks for the suggestion. Let me know if you want to see the finished work. I can send it over to you later this week. Anyway have a good one. Talk soon. I also started reading a new book about urban gardening and it has some really interesting ideas for small spaces.

2026 BCBS plan changes have been posted

I think scheduling the review for Wednesday afternoon works better since a few people have conflicts on Tuesday. We need to go over the Q3 numbers and make sure the reporting format aligns with what the stakeholders requested. Mia said she can prepare the summary tables if we give her until Tuesday morning. We should also include time to discuss the upcoming project milestones and any resource adjustments that might be needed. Let me know if Wednesday at 2 PM works for your team.

The other option would be Thursday morning but I know that cuts into the weekly stand-up. Either way we need to finalize the agenda by Monday so everyone can come prepared with their updates.

I tried the new bistro on fifth street last weekend and the menu had some really creative options. The roasted vegetable plate with the herb vinaigrette was surprisingly good and the portions were generous. My friend ordered the fish special and said it was cooked well. The service was a bit slow but the atmosphere made up for it. I think it would be a good spot for the team lunch next month since they have a private dining area that fits about twelve people. I will call ahead to check on reservations.

The weather this week has been perfect for sitting outside. We should plan to go back and try their brunch menu sometime soon.

Road Kit Has Shipped For Licensed Drivers

thanks for the note about Saturday. i think starting around 2pm works well so we have time before it gets dark. the grill should be ready by then and i can prep the vegetables ahead of time. let me know if anyone has specific dietary needs i should plan for. i was thinking of making that cold pasta salad with the cherry tomatoes and basil from the garden. also picked up some nice crusty bread to go alongside. if the weather cooperates we can eat outside on the deck otherwise we can move inside easily. do you think people will want to bring anything i dont want anyone to feel like they have to but offering is fine. i can set up a small table for drinks and snacks. let me know what you think about the timing and if there is anything else i should prepare. looking forward to it.

i looked into the paint samples you mentioned and i think the warm gray would work well for the hallway. the light blue might be too cool for that space since it gets afternoon sun. i can swing by the hardware store on Thursday to pick up a few test pots if you want to try them on the wall. let me know what size brushes you have because i can grab additional ones if needed. the contractor said they can start prep work next Tuesday morning which gives us the weekend to finalize the color choices. i also wanted to ask about the trim do you want to keep it white or go with something slightly darker for contrast. we should probably decide before they arrive so they can order the right materials. let me know what you think about the timeline and i can adjust my schedule accordingly.

Yeah, I've been thinking about the photo folder too. I think we should sort by year first and then create subfolders for each trip or event. That way we don't lose track of which ones are already edited and which still need work. I can start going through the 2023 batch this weekend if you want to tackle 2024.
