I'll give my feel good summer tips right here!!! Drink lots of water Have a cocktail once in awhile Summer reads are the best reads Eat summer fruit now while it's at its peak Wear sunscreen Walk No charge! My guess is that she received this wonderful educational course for free in exchange for shilling it to her followers. I can't stand Janelle, and I think she's a complete idiot, but I also think that even she knows the whole thing is a rip off. But, like the rest of the family, she'll do whatever it takes to get money or something for free. 5 Link to comment

deirdra July 26, 2020 Share July 26, 2020 In addition to frying, her followers have suggested things like zucchini bread. I like mine steamed and topped with a bit of salt and butter - so I can taste the ... zucchini! 3 Link to comment
Roslyn July 26, 2020 Share July 26, 2020 (edited) Boiled Summer Squash and boiled onions. I love summer squash (in season) and I L O V E onions...not boiled. Take the same ingredients in a different way and you can make them sing. Hell...just a pat of butter or olive oil and a bit of cooking to caramelize the onions...then add the squash. Hit it with pepper, salt and a splash of white wine. It would be a hell of a lot better than boiled rock soup. 😣 I grow a specific variety of heirloom zucchini, Costata Romanesco. It is believed to be the original variety that the modern hybrids were bred from. It does NOT produce many fruits in a season, but tons of male blossoms. Which may be a reason why regional cuisines stuff and cook squash blossoms. It is the most flavorful of all zucchini in my opinion. Even after it is a bit large it just needs sliced, a touch of oil and grilled. That's it and it's delicious. ...boiled squash and onions... no wonder Janelle hates vegetables.

Absolom July 26, 2020 Share July 26, 2020 This relates to Janelle in that while she's still finding rock stars and marveling over zucchini plants producing, I have lost the weight I needed to and kept it off. It might not have been easy, but it was simple. I signed up for a tracker online and put every bit of food into it and also track all exercise. The app calculates a daily allowance based on the data and it fluctuates depending on how much exercise I do. My job is to stay under the net calorie line almost every day and if I do exceed it, keep it as low as possible. Apparently that's too basic for Janelle and she doesn't even seem to have an idea why she isn't losing. I expect she'd be shocked to see how many calories she's consuming and how little she's expending. 8 Link to comment

The garden boxes are square but the raised beds are rectangular. Maybe she does not understand that makes no difference; if you put soil and seeds in them, they grow into plants. Did she just let the stuff in Vegas wither and die? 7 3 Link to comment

Sandy W July 27, 2020 Share July 27, 2020 (edited) Janelle should have headed straight for home after her purchases. The corn and grapes look like they have spent several hours in a hot car trunk, the tomatoes are split and one has a serious bruise. I see no benefit to buying "farm fresh" when the tomatoes need to be heavily trimmed. Edited July 27, 2020 by Sandy W 8 Link to comment
Chicklet July 27, 2020 Share July 27, 2020 That corn looks dead. The tomatoes don't bother me as the taste of home grown or farm grown tomatoes so outclass grocery store tomatoes I'll gladly cut out a few bad spots. The grapes look like they were on the way to being raisins. Don't think those grapes were local, do grapes grow in Flagstaff? 2 7 Link to comment
DakotaJustice July 28, 2020 Share July 28, 2020 Even the onions look wilted. She's saying she got them at the Farmers market so I would assume she picked them out herself? Based on the grammatical errors, she just doesn't give a shit about anything. Maybe you get a more joyful belly if the veggies you consume are old. Digestion. 3 4 Link to comment
Gramto6 July 28, 2020 Share July 28, 2020 Maybe this is a box pre prepared to be picked up? If so, I think I would pass on it if it looked like that on delivery. If she put it in her trunk and ran other errands basically cooking the veggies then shame on her. 4 Link to comment

DakotaJustice July 28, 2020 Share July 28, 2020 She lives right near a Farmers market - remember mother's day a year ago when she went there to buy lemonade and chocolate cupcakes? The corn sellers at my local farmers market all brag and show off their tender, green just-picked sweet corn - those ears wouldn't even make it to the market, they'd be fed to livestock. Embarrassing. 7 Link to comment

So there must be a million bugs slithering and oozing and flying around the place. Not to mention prairie dogs, snakes, elk, bear, deer, mountain lions... Ok, not sure about those last few, but still it's probably not smart to leave your door open all the time in Flagstaff. 😁 8 Link to comment

Especially after her house in Las Vegas had so much light. She could get away with dark furniture etc because it was so bright there. Bring that big clunky stuff into a low ceiling ranch house with old style lighting and windows and she lives in a cave. My house is surrounded by 40 foot tall evergreen trees (OH!! The TREES!!) and I realized years ago I needed brighter natural light. I moved into my sons north facing bedroom after he moved out and even tho I wanted to choose a nice color I went with white semi gloss. For whatever reason it gets the brightest light year round and with the white walls it is always bright with natural light. It makes a huge difference with my moods, especially since the peri-menopause is shifting into menopause. 6 Link to comment

I'm with you on the light colored carpeting, if there must be carpeting. For that reason, I try to avoid restaurants with patterned carpeting, designed to cover a multitude of spills. She may be hampered by landlord restrictions on walls and carpet, but surely she could do something with those window coverings. I cant figure what's going on with that drapery to the right of the sliding door or the mismatched piece that is visible on the left side of the photo. They may have been there when she took the place, but Janelle's "Oh Well" attitude would be just willing to make do. She brings to mind a song I learned as a little kid..."Brighten The Corner Where You Are"..............But. Janelle. If that's her veggie garden she is so proud of that we can see off the patio area, I don't know how she finds her crops to harvest, it just looks like a weed patch to me. 6 Link to comment

I agree, but given Flagstaff's apparent property values, I guess it's par for the course, even in a bad neighborhood. How unsettling this move has been for all of them, Janelle blowing over $34,000 a year in rent and Meri nearly $50,000 a year... and still nothing on the horizon that indicates a housing resolution. Christine seems to have had the right idea when she bought a smaller home than she had in LV, but adequate for her immediate needs. If she isn't as hard on this home as she was on the LV house, she stands to earn some equity there. The only one that has gained ground is Robyn, who reluctantly was forced to buy a nearly $1,000,000 home because God didn't have the time to locate the perfect "rennul" for her. 1 5 8 Link to comment
