August, 2105 ~ What's for Supper?

UNCLE JIMMY wrote:I'm proud.

Supper was three small slices of meatloaf. No bread. No sweets for dessert.
I did grab two slices of salami, and stuck it onto one slice of white american bread.
OOOooooooo!!.... I savored every teeny tiny bite.
Now normally, I would have two full sandwiches. I felt better too, and not all puffed up.

Tina just heated pizza bites, and she said here are yours. I said. No thanks!
too many carbs hon! ....

When it's all soft and broken down in the pot I'll let it cool down just a bit and then run it through my food mill.  That thing is wonderful.  It will separate all the solids and just give me the mush & juice that I can then add herbs & stuff to and simmer down even more before storing in the freezer for when I need marinara.

Just walked outside and realized I didn't cut any of the thyme....what was I thinking?  Thyme, basil & tomatoes are such a good mix!

And I know I've got some raw meatballs in the freezer.  I KNOW what I'll be making first ~ Jimmy's tender meatballs in sauce!  Yea!!

My electric bill is going to be high. It is supposed to get over 100 today. I have the thermostat set at 80. I hope it will cycle on and off. It has been so hot that it stays on all the time. We really need a new unit but just can't afford it.

Can't get my head around that expression.  Fish, not fishy???? Then eat chicken is my answer!
