Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Much better most of the time. I still have to be careful and not get on my right side when laying down. I can cough with out pain and that is a miracle in itself.

thats good news. Glad your on the mend.

It looks like from the radar view it is going to rain for hours here today. Big wall of rain moving over us from the west. My ribs are going to get more rest today for sure. Basic chores need doing. I'll open coops so the kids can play in the puddles while I nap.

we got it yesterday. Shopping today. I am so tired of going out. I need a break. Need a home cooked meal like we had thanksgiving!

Granny I think the best way to mimic a home cooked thanksgiving meal is to be like a cat and play with your food before you eat it.The simplest form of making a meal is to do it in one pot. I know from doing it when I have to do the cooking. The micro wave can be your best friend. A square deep casserole dish is best. Now for a #1 widely favored Thanksgiving dish is for green bean casserole. To make that a one dish meal you need only a half pound of bacon, a large can of green beans, 1 or 2 cans of a cream soup you like best, a micro wave cooked potato for about 4 minutes that is not done. Still firm and can me sliced but partially cooked. The potato is optional if potato is not good for the A1C.

Add drained beans to the dish
If potato used make it the next layer
Add about half the bacon for the next layer that has been partially cooked already in the microwave
Cover with the creamed soup
Cover with half an 8 oz bag of coarsely grated cheddar to our liking or with any other melting cheese
Top with the rest of the bacon
Top with the rest of the grated cheese.

It will depend on the micro wave used as to how long to cook but if cooked on a lower heat I'm guessing 15-20 minutes. Easy with very little clean up in the kitchen.
There are other things that can be part of the dish according to ones liking.
I like toppings of button mushrooms. Decorative.
During or after cooking some grated real Parmesan would be good.
Think like a cat and play with your food. I Do.
You can make something like this while you drink the cup of coffee you don't spill on you know whats.

Granny if you like that idea I'll give you the method we use for dealing with turkey leftovers in a one deep dish square casserole pan. No real cooking after the turkey is done. It can be modified with other meats including ham hock. Those are so good too.

Morning all. not enough sleep

Yeah, 2 hours is just not enough.

 

[Nomadicus]

I'm glad I got nearly 9 hours of sleep. It was not the most restful because of bad dreams induced I think from pain. Need to see when I can have another round of injections into these worn out hips.

Time to take my BP. I hope it is in range. I don't won't to call the cardiologist and tell him that the last increase didn't work.

134/70 pulse 66. The added 20mg is working. One less worry. Once my stress and worry load is lessened and I lose another 20lbs I may not need the med at all.
