Granny's gone and done it again

Another cloudy day with some flurries. The snow melted so we are ready for the next 3-6" they are predicting for tomorrow. Can't complain, it melts each time before the next comes. It's the cold that is more difficult to tolerate and next week they want it in the teens and below zero.

I have birds and squirrels in the snow on TV. They are eating, gathering food.... Some mental stimulation for the puppies.
Anyone watch fish for relaxation? I added some fish apps to the Roku TV and between watching them and listening to the music, it helps DH sleep
 
Betty had pain again yesterday. I give her half a baby aspirin. She actually needs anti inflammatory pills but for dogs you have to get lab work and just prescription. Fish oil and glucosamine chondroitin aren't working 100% Have to take her back to the vet.
Moist heat packs work better the dry. I microwave water to the boiling point, then put a towel beside the container and microwave again. The towel is steamy warm when it comes out. I wrap it around her when she comes in from a bathroom trip

When I took sulfasalazine I had achy legs when it was cold. The kind of ache that makes you tears. A steamy towel feels dreamy- oh so good!!

So I tried to make chicken salad out of the remaining chicken last night (not the pepper and onion one, I still had a bunch in a separate bowl) despite having already put taco seasoning on it because I figured pulled/shredded might be easier for me to eat and my dad had said the taco seasoning might be good in it. So I decided to try it. Well, that was a complete and utter disaster!!!!!! Total failure. But hey, that’s why they call them EXPERIMENTS, right!?!?!?!?! :lau :oops:

What happened was the chicken was very hard/tough for some reason and I couldn’t get it with my fork even with mayo added so I brilliantly decided to try my blender which also has a food chop setting. Did. Not. Work. No matter what setting I tried it on (Food Chop which is even pulses or just regular blender on low, medium, or high which I tried all of them) it just got stuck and Would. Not. Grind. The. Chicken. Up. So I turned it off. Then the tiny part it did sort of grind got stuck in the blades which was a disaster too. So I got what I could out and put it all back in the bowl and tried by hand again with two forks. It was still too hard. I gave up and put it back in my fridge and there it sits. And the blender is soaking. But I did taste some of the mayo taco seasoning mixture and that did taste good so at least there’s that LOL but yeah. I need one of those egg slicer thingies with the multiple rows of blades that just slices stuff into the perfect size little cubes hahaha or maybe I should try one of my knives instead of just a fork??????? IDK. LOL but all I know is the blender was a complete and utter failure. And I also have tried it for egg salad once too and that one actually worked but it also got stuck in the base and I couldn’t get any of it out and wasted a ton of it so that one was a failure too. So idk why I thought this one would be any different. LOL
Do you have a knife?
