Aloha Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  HN> EVERYONE loves Chili!!
-> 
-> -> Turns out, the winner just had a hotter version of mine; I'd given
him
-> -> the idea of corn in it from the batch I made last fall. From what I
-> -> understand, 3 guys were the judges--should have had a female too, to
-> -> convince them that hot isn't everything. (G)  But, whatever, it's the
-> -> fun of the competition that's the important thing.
-> 
->  hn> Figures!
-> 
-> I'll smoke them next year tho. (G)
->
As Gabby Hayes was wont to say, "Durn Tootin"!
 
-> ->  HN> Cipro is pretty hefty stuff. hope you
-> ->  HN> don't get side effects.
-> ->  HN> And hope it works as well!
-> 
-> -> So far, so good.  The nasty stuff is being knocked out and I've not
had
-> -> any side effects (other than a bit of light headedness the first day
or
-> -> so) from the meds.  I've tried to stay in; went out for class on
-> 
->  hn> Good thoughts all!
-> 
-> 
-> Thanks; I was floored with an asthma attack earlier today but ptobably
-> brought it on by trying to do more than I should have, considering the
-> way I've been feeling.  i basically stopped everything for a few hours.
-> Supper was the most work I did afterward, and that was mostly just
-> nuking stuff to warm it up.
->
Glad that you were able to take it easy
until you were feeling a little better,
and good that you had food in the freezer
that just needed nuking!
 
-> ->  HN> "COOK ME!!" had some mild
-> ->  HN> Italian sausage from a sale
-> ->  HN> so that and the lentils won
-> ->  HN> date with the stove!
-> 
-> -> Sounds good tho I suspect you would have preferred a hotter sausage.
(G)
-> -> Sometimes tho, the mild brings out other flavors more, that the hot
-> -> covers up with its heat.  What other spicing did you use?
-> 
->  hn> I spiced up my dish with some chili paste.
->  hn> I added a bit of cumin, some spinach, onions
->  hn> and diced celery to the lentils. a pinch of pepper
->  hn> and no salt, then added a low sodium
->  hn> can of chicken stock. Would have added
->  hn> mushrooms if I had had any in the house.
->  hn> a smattering of oregano and basil and
->  hn> that was about it for spicing.
-> 
-> 
-> Sounds like it all came together quite well.
->
Pretty standard spicing, except I was
out of garlic so no garlic in it at all.
 
-> ->  HN> Baloney for me!
-> 
-> -> I would have gladly traded sandwiches.
-> 
->  hn> at the time I really liked baloney
->  hn> so you'd have had a tough trade (grin)
->  hn> We used to get these huge things
->  hn> of baloney and Pop would cut
->  hn> them into slices and freeze them
->  hn> in packs that were about a week's
->  hn> worth of meat for sandwiches and
-> 
-> 
-> How thin could he slice it?
->
Pretty thin, not thin enough to 
read through, but almost! (grin)
-> 
->  hn> fried baloney for breakfasts.
->  hn> Still like fried baloney.
-> 
-> I've not had it in years, easily over ten.
->
Probably the same for me, haven't had
baloney in about as long...should maybe
get some just for old times sake...and
find out if I still do like it! (grin)
-> 
-> ->  HN> artificial hips put in have
-> ->  HN> all done well.
-> 
-> -> Talked to my parents yesterday; dad's in therapy 4 times a day.  The
-> -> therapist said that he would be clombing stairs before discharge--but
on
-> -> out is not usable as is but if a small set up could be made on the
main
-> -> level of the house,............................  Get someone to
organise
-> -> things from the basement so tools, etc could be found and brought up
for
-> -> track adjustment, etc.  Time will tell; we're planning a trip up at
the
-> -> end of March to help for a week.
-> 
->  hn> One of my coworkers at the ballpark
->  hn> had BOTH hips replaced early in the
->  hn> season and he was back at work before
->  hn> the end of the season...he was quite
-> 
-> 
-> Dad has a 90 year old room mate that had both done. I guess it's better
-> to get it done & over with but 88 or 90 makes for a tougher rehab time.
->
My coworker was only 47 at the time and
they only did both because his hips were
so bad they HAD to do both...Hope to see
him back again this season!
-> 
->  hn> young though and did a very aggressive
->  hn> rehab. You might look around for a
->  hn> "stair lift" you can sometimes find them
->  hn> on Craigslist at really good prices from
-> 
-> 
-> We're looking, haven't hit Craigslist yet.  Mom & Dad are fighting
-> having any changes done to the house--they want to stay there as long as
-> they can. We're suggesting ways to make that possible but hitting brick
-> walls so far.
->
Tact and persuasion, We went through
a lot of that with my dad as well...but
I wasn't there so all I heard were the 
"reports" from my sister, Mom would never
let me know what was going on because Pop
was there listening to whatever she said 
on the phone.
 
-> -> Hope your dad
-> ->  HN> does well too! Siblings giving
-> ->  HN> feedback sometimes works sometimes not
-> ->  HN> (grin).
-> 
-> -> A couple are better on feedback than the other couple.  We found that
-> -> out with a project last summer; same ones had same response or lack
-> -> there of. We're trying to prevent down the road "we didn't want this
-> -> done or even know about it" kind of reaction from siblings.  BTW, how
is
-> -> your mom doing this winter?  Did she have snow from the latest
system?
->  hn> ->
->  hn> Uhmmm, I'm very familiar with that sort
-> 
-> 
chat with you in the next message!
