So...whats for dinner?

Leftover Italian shredded beef. DH is still eating cake :-)

Doc said a different type of Morphine formulation may prevent side effects (that would be amazing if it were that simple) and adding Ritalin could give him some energy (vs. using testosterone, as I'd suggested)….willing to try anything. He's so sad this is happening and he can't wrap his sweet brain around it all. Sigh. Wine, wine and more wine. Maybe some ice cream too.

Dinner tonight was chicken, asparagus, red bell pepper in a mustard cream sauce with mashed potatoes.

Last night was ham and beans. Instead of skillet cornbread I made hoe cakes. We ate them but I prefer the skillet version.

Tonight It’s normally pizza night but I’m not in the mood for takeout. Maybe I’ll make flat bread pizza. I could use some inspiration too.

Carole, we had thunderstorms last night here just as I was going to bed.

Tonight is pork chops, salad and rice

Had an awesome dinner tonight out at an Asian restaurant, my meal Japanese style. Teriyaki salmon, delicious and ginormous amounts of stir fried vegetables ( Could not finish them), a little rice, with a ginger dressed green salad to start. Oh and a great Pinot Noir. Very satisfying.

Wally My heart goes out to you and your friend is a real treasure.

👋 Hello to all.

The rest of the fried chicken from last night and a tomato, cucumber and onion salad

The farmers market presented us with some frustration, totally unexpected. Our site is on an outside row that allows us to back up and access our setup from the back of our truck. That access was blocked by the long animal trailer and attached pickup truck of a goat farm. The owners of the farm come to the market and serve as an attraction to people who seem fascinated by little goats. I am still totally baffled that Linda, the woman who is in charge of the farmers market, thought parking the goat attraction in front of our row of vendors was a good idea. The other vendors were equally upset about the situation. We were assured the goat trailer will be parked elsewhere next Saturday. The farther the better.

We did not have good sales, which may have been the case anyway. We did sell a large walnut bowl, our most expensive item, to an elderly lady accompanied by a younger woman who was probably her daughter and urged her to buy the bowl.

One really successful vendor is a sour dough baker. I bought a bread loaf from her that includes Einhorn flour. I am looking forward to having a slice of it for breakfast.

After the market, we had lunch at Dairy Queen and went to visit former farmers market vendor friends who were set up in a location out of town. Neither of us was hungry at dinner time so we each had a snack of choice.

Carole, It makes no sense to have an “attraction” like the goats in the way of vendors. If the purpose is to increase traffic they should be well out of the way. Even those who come to see the goats would not want them interfering with their market browsing. It’s great that there is a vendor who makes good sourdough bread since you have no oven during the summer.

In AL someone kept goats in the horse pastures. Every Fourth of July he would host a big gathering featuring goat stew.. That day it was impossible to catch any of the horses who seemed to know what was cooking in the picnic area.

Eric, Your veggie hash sounds delicious. Salsa is a versatile ingredient that can be added to so many things. It’s great you and Sharon got to attend the concert. Keep up with your apple pie practice,🥧

Dinner tonight was French onion meatballs and spinach on noodles.

We had the enormous ribeye last night, perfectly cooked to medium rare on the rare side. The side was a large salad with favorite ingredients, including blue cheese. Leftover steak, since it was too large for two.

Today is dh's birthday. Nature is not giving him a nice day for Monday golf. It will be raining all day. We will go to Clancy's for meatball Monday tonight. A couple from southern MN are in town and we will meet up with them. I will have one of the walleye options on the menu.

Wally - you'll appreciate that our LOW temperature was 80 last night. Sending you strength and approving all the wine you need. Do you have regular hospice people that you & DH like now?

I have been w/o my phone for a week. Today is day 8. No one at ATT can tell me when they will repair this landline - or IF they will repair since they're trying to dump all that service. I have kept the landline since in hurricane country, people line up to use my phone when the electricity goes out. But it looks like I'll have to give up & switch to fiber.

Went out for mid day dinner with my nephew's family yesterday. I had a bowl of egg drop soup and "Special Lo Mein", which included beef, chicken, pork and shrimp. I have enough leftovers for two more dinners. Tonight will be an avocado topped with tuna salad and a bowl of fresh strawberries with heavy cream.

Mickey was in an inpatient hospice and she and I was their first young adults, so they were having to figure support stuff out as they went. The nurses were amazingly great but the doctor was a miserable piece of …….

Rainy here today too and Louisiana muggy.

Minus your meal sounds perfect.

Happy birthday to your DH Carole!

Egg roll in a bowl and brown rice tonight.

Dinner last night was eastern egg sandwiches.

An eastern egg sandwich is an egg, chopped cooked ham, onion, salt and pepper mixed in a bowl then fried in a skillet.

A western egg sandwich is an egg, chopped cooked ham, onion, green bell pepper, salt and pepper mixed in a bowl then fried in a skillet.

Oh Wally, I wish I lived closer so I could at least hold your hand.
