Field Notes- Wednesday, January 18th. Good Book- Up late reading it. New York Seeded Rye Toast.


 Gloves and Hot Beverages.  Weather here in Maine is an Oddity in 2023.  Snow. Sun. 40 degrees. Dark Skies and 38 degrees.  Not the Usual.  Predictions are that in the next ten years..my house will be under water.  The Atlantic Ocean will be flooding this property.  Weird, huh?  Will I even be alive?

I found New York Seeded Rye Bread made by a local bakery using Maine grown and ground wheat and grains.  When Pigs Fly.  Baked daily.  It goes bad quickly.......so I have been toasting it, layering on unsalted butter and Strawberry Rhubarb Jan.  Very stiff and difficult to chew until one gets used to it.  Taste is wonderful...... it has sour tang to it.

I am reading a 2017 small sized paperback- Helena Hunting.  Shacking Up.   It has one character from the book I read and liked very much.....I Flipping Love You.  

Oddly enough I also watched - well tried to watch a regular evening show on ABC.  When the TiVo went nuts a few weeks - or months ago and we had to restart it....I seem to have lost the ability to adjust volume on the TiVo which runs my tv.  And most of the things I watch are fine....ABC was not.. It's the Odd Detective with the little dog.  I wrote down the author's name- I will read the books. I stopped watching ABC, CBS and NBC long ago.  I can watch the show in the dining room on the other TV.   I could.  And the volume on that TV works just fine (no TiVo).  Oddly because blog people are talking about it just when I try it for the first time.........

I COULD disconnect the TV from the TiVo but I have so many things recorded on TiVo.....Series and Movies and the "to be recorded" file is huge also.  PBS.  I could watch movies all day for weeks and not run out. (skipping commercials)...  I consider the TiVo storage system to be my happy-ness fall back plan.  I select stuff and it records and then I watch it or not......but knowing it's there ready to go- is lovely.

The TiVo.........if I had an idea of what happened to the volume..I would try and fix it...but I don't know and I am not the type of person (husband is) to just open a can of worms I have no idea how to deal with.

I finished off the Chicken with Mayo and honey yesterday.  I ate some Oreo Cookie Ice Cream.

The Local (Boston) Sports Talking Heads agreed with me- Tom Brady is Done.  Totally Done. He has a deal with FOX to talk about Sports.....FOX.  Well, we will never see him talk.  We don't ever watch FOX.

Anytime I have issues with ANYTHING - I google it and usually get some help. Google your issue with Tivo and see if it helps.

I'll second what Linda said. Plus, if you can find a video it is even easier to do.

I've been baking a lot! Especially bread or anything that takes yeast. I want to use up the yeast while it is still viable. Husband says my cooking has gone to the 'next level.'
