My goodness, surely you are joking that you don't realize that "14 billion" is just for fun, like saying "we have a zillion things to chose from in the villages". It's a "cultural" thing to OVER exaggerate, so most recognize that. Now if someone said, we 3500 activities to chose from, THEN I am sure someone would know the exact number and make sure to correct the poster...LOL !

Our goal was a pasta dish that came together quickly, suitable for a weeknight. We wanted it to be hearty but not heavy.

Creamy Orecchiette and Navy Beans with Brussels Sprouts and Spicy Maple Bread Crumbs
Serves 4

→ You may substitute cannellini or pinto beans for the navy beans, and farfalle or campanelle for the orecchiette.
→ The pasta will continue to tighten up as it sits so add a little bit more pasta water than you think you’ll need.

¼ cup panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon plus ½ teaspoon table salt plus salt for cooking pasta
Pinch cayenne pepper
12 ounces orecchiette
10 ounces Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved, and sliced thin
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
½ teaspoon pepper
1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, undrained
½ cup sour cream

Bring 2 quarts water to boil in large saucepan. While water is coming to boil, combine panko, 2 teaspoons oil, maple syrup, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and cayenne in 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until panko is crunchy and caramel-colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and let cool completely (do not wash skillet).
Add pasta and 1 ½ teaspoons salt to boiling water and cook, stirring often, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain pasta. Return pasta to pot and cover to keep warm. While pasta is cooking, prepare Brussels sprouts.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add Brussels sprouts, 1 tablespoon water, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt and stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are crisp-tender and bright green, about 4 minutes. Add mustard, vinegar, and pepper and stir until fully incorporated. Stir in beans and their liquid, and ¾ cup reserved cooking water and cook until bubbling.
Add Brussels sprout mixture and sour cream to pasta and stir until all ingredients are combined. Adjust consistency with additional pasta water as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 shallow bowls. Break up bread crumbs with fingers and sprinkle over pasta. Serve.

New Recipe to Test: Creamy Orecchiette and Navy Beans with Brussels Sprouts and Spicy Maple Bread Crumbs
It was pretty good but who puts maple syrup crumbs on a pasta dish?? I definitely left that out and told them in my recipe review that I just could not do that to a pasta dish! Roasted the Brussel sprouts too for a deeper flavor. Enjoy the recipe y’all!!

I think this is the most interesting post I have read on this forum! Thank you!

Thanks - it’s crazy how many people recognize me because of the video - have met so many great people! DeLuna is a great Village! 😂

So is the inside of your house built in a circle or do you need to keep stopping to turn your bike around?

We we are at the house I will sit in my chair in one of 2 rooms with my iPad and phone while the tv is on, Chicago Fire on Tuesday, Blue Bloods on Wednesday and Chicago Fire on Thursday. On the other days it varies with Maine Cabin Masters, Beach Front Bargain hunt, Fixer Upper, MASH, Reba, Walker Texas Ranger among other shows.

Other things is weeding, cleaning, cooking.

We are our mostly riding in the golf cart, at the squares for music, eating out and playing a very little golf if I am healthy enough when we are down.

What does it mean when your Doctor says not to buy any green bananas?

Twenty years ago, after examining my blood profile, my doctor indicated I have about 5 years left. This doctor is well known internationally, wrote in medical journals etc and has treated my mother and my brother for decades. I almost died right there, of fright. When I could pick myself up off the floor I decided to get a second opinion, went to the top dog in the field. He took my blood again himself, had it analyzed and commented, “You are as healthy as I am”. And I still am. Be careful of what you believe.

Great way to meet your neighbors, as they scream "Don't let your dog **** on my lawn!".

2,507. There are 2,507 clubs. The Villages says 2,500, but they are rounding.I'm kind of depressed that I knew this. Is this what it has come to?

I thought, after you mentioned the second doctor told you that you were as healthy as him, that he keeled over and died. Glad you are still around. I went through something similar when younger. Beat stage 3 C . Plan to keep on keeping on. Have a Great Day.

And I don't want to play.

I do. When I am inside the house, first of all, I am a gamer, on all types of devices, from way back. Never lonely, never don’t have something to do. Also paint in oil and still learning the piano. And cook and bake challenging recipes sometimes.

I am trying to learn Old-time Clawhammer Banjo, and spend time learning new tunes and working on skills. This also leads to other activities out of the home -- it fits into at least one of the Villages Clubs that is devoted to old time music and there is at least one (and probably more) old time jam group outside the Villages.

Activities at home
 

I putter in my garden. I always have a jigsaw puzzle in the works, 1000 pcs. to 2000 pcs.
I always have 2 books that I read. I exercise ( dance, yoga, aerobics and weights) everyday. Daily walks with the dog. Adult coloring books.

am still doing a lot of domestic stuff, cleaning, cooking & laundry. most of my time is spent with my pets & being a caregiver. i watch LOTS of old movies, music, & reading. i tend to the shrubs on occasion, & think up names for the new lizards occupying the lanai.

Try a blower, I have a small cordless Dewalt, perfect for blowing them slightly up in the air and right out the door, without hurting them.

I go to a craft club 3 X a week, attend miscellaneous events like live music or information talks, and attend some club parties. Much of times is for medical visits shopping cooking & taking care of the house.
