Thanks, ladies! I rushed in the bathroom and flushed my hand with cold water, then betadine ..and applied pressure 'til I got the bleeding to stop. It's swollen and some pretty purple and blue colors ..little tender ...but I think I'll survive.
The whole thing was my fault, too ...she's blind, she's really old, and I stopped talking to her just seconds before my hand was too close to her face and she reacted instinctively. My bad, completely!
cknmom.. I hope your migraine isn't too bad, cuz I still have a touch of mine. It's been about a week, I think.. meds work some days ..but not the next.
As for dinner ..I did like I said ..chicken in the crockpot .....but I did make an effort to make it interesting, so I put some ghee (clarified butter) on the bottom ..added some whole/squished green cardamom seed pods (5 or so) ...about 1/4 c. of pomegranate seeds ..cup or so of rice on top of that ....then some thinly sliced fresh ginger, chopped garlic cloves (2 or 3), and some very thinly sliced yellow onion. All of these are kind of layered ..oh.. and a layer of thick, bias cut carrot slices. Put a small, but frozen, hen on top of that ..tucked blue, red and white "new" potato halves around the hen ....and seasoned, of course. I used Garam Masala over the rice and again, over the bird ...salt 'n pepper ...and I added a little yogurt in between the bird and everything else. *There's a cup or so of water in there, too..
It sounds crazy as all heck, I'm sure ..and I'm not positive on the results ....but it will be a resemblance to Biryani, I think ..and the pomegranate should make it a little more interesting. We'll see!
Hopefully tomorrow, I can peel the shrumps that I had out for yesterday ...migraine took over before I could get them done ..so hubby brought House of Curries home for us
