Picked up my granddaughter today and we went to lunch and shopping. We had Mexican food and I had Rellano en Nagado. I have never had it before and it was fantastic! It looked like this except it came with cilantro rice and black beans. OMG I would drive back down to Folsom to eat it again tonight.

​

Here's the description from the menu:

Relleno en Nogada
One large poblano chiles stuffed with Mexican-Style picadillo beef, carrots, raisins, onions and fruits topped with our walnut cream sauce. Served with cilantro rice and black beans on the side.
​

​

That looks and sounds delicious.

I have read they are a waste of money and not worth the pain. I will opt for a cap or extraction first. The only thing is they have to put me out to pull it.

I have extracted until I must preserve the rest to chew or bite with. Getting old is not for sisseys.


Lonaandrinda I sure hope you are not hit by that monster. I always worry with the people where I see these things popping up.

Quote: You cannot cap a tooth that is in need of a root canal tooth-it doesn't solve the problem. It's something different entirely. I have had to have root canal on teeth already crowned-they do it right through the crown. I have one tooth that has such a huge filling that the next step has to be a crown-there is supposedly some decay in there and it will be a race to see if it begins to hurt and necessitates a root canal first (or, the dentist would typically do that) or a crown from the tooth filling breaking. If I pull it, it's on the same side with the one just pulled, closer to the front and would show if left open. Only other options are bridge (again, making the "virgin" tooth have to be drilled to be a leg of the bridge) or an implant. My SIL has all of her teeth implanted. I can't imagine what that would have cost her, but they never had dental work as kids and gum disease was common. She opted for implants rather than dentures in her 40's. That would be my preference, too, but the $$ is over the moon without some insurance; and even with it, if you could find a plan that would even cover that, it would still be very costly.

Something I have never understood is why insurance does not pay for dental work. An infected tooth or gums is an infection and can even cause heart problems. Go figure. Yes I am at that stage too where one tooth to root canel or replace cost a holy fortune. Just had one done. Don't let a reg. dentist think he can do a root cannel. Nooooo now 6 yrs later and a lot of pain I just had one done over by a specialist. nO more pain thankgoodness. Now if the other one was done. sigh!!!!! I also have to have a crown removed because decay has gotten under it. My teeth are very soft. Always have been. What I do not understand is why the Dentist charge sooo much for fixing our teeth one at a time???? I do beleive they are taking advantage.
I have jubilee orps in the hatcher and under a hen hahlf and half. Maybe this way I will have at least some to hatch. Later in April I haope to put Blue part English and Delawares in to hatch too. I know I must be a bit crazy but oh its such a high to see those little pips and then the peeps running around.

Good luck on the hatch!! (and the teeth)

That is true, but I guess they figure teeth aren't a necessity so you just pull them all out.

Which makes me think of something along that line.

When I was growing up we were poor. How poor were we? So poor we couldn't afford a dog, so we had to take turns biting the mailman.

But I digress. Anyhow we have a number of schools that shut down because the population and all that. I figure they should rent out the unused wing to pediatric medicine and then kids could go right to the docs from school. The district would get money from the rental of the building. The poor kids could see the dental hygenist or pediatritian easy enough. Plus parents could just be at the school or Dr. Office.

We all got lined up for our mumps shot in the cafeteria.

Oh the big one above the BOK center turned out to be a hoax- but the smaller one was real. And tornadoes move fast and disappear fast- it was probably over by the time the person posted the picture on social media.

Please, make it stop. It's supposed to be spring.

 

[speckledhen]

I know. Ladyhawk just called me saying it was supposed to be raining, but it's snowing, not expected at all. She is in KY about an hour south of Cincinnati. We're going back into the teens tonight. It's been nice sleeping with the window open. Guess that's over for a few days.

 

[mlm Mike]

I guess if Kentucky and Georgia can handle more cold days, we'll make it.

We'll make it but my Moonglow pear tree blooms probably won't. I love having those pears every year, getting more and more every season but I expect most blooms to be killed off now.

I wish! I still want winter, and we were 80* today. I'm not ready for hot weather!
