SEPTEMBER 2015.."What's For Dinner??"

Tomorrow I go on to Ottawa, our capital.  I have never been there as a tourist, just a couple of times to take my sister for her chemo, and that was in the winter.  I am blowing the budget and have booked a hotel right downtown, The Lord Elgin, so that once there, I park my car and can either walk or take public transportation.  I need to learn to do some travelling solo if I don't want to sit at home all the time.

I have zero tolerance for spice, chilies and raw onions. It sure tasted good though. I think I will be hating life for a few hours until the pain goes away.

Bugs...is it acid reflux you are doing pepto for?

I take a zantac 150 1/2 hour before eating. That holds the pain in check, but I have to be sure there is 6 hours of being awake so it all digests.

Maybe you have a peptic ulcer. ? ... Did you ever hear of digestive enzymes??

Do you use oleomargarine eating it or baking and cooking with it? That stuff is a sour stomach maker for me and Tina.

All it takes is a quarter-inch square of raw onion to do me in. Tonight was a double whammy with maybe a chunk of jalapeno that made it into my gut. You would think I would learn, but I just love Mexican food and have to have one bite.

Tina said she has the pain like that also. In the stomach that is. She takes a Zantac, and the pain subsides in 20 minutes.

Bugs.... you don't have an obstruction, do you?

Jimmy, I have had gut problems most of my life. Something happened when I was 18 that damaged my gut forever.

Done to perfection..Proud.. cooled,freezer wrapped............Made the mistake of NOT putting them in the freezer. Came in the kitchen this morning and MS.KAT got into them.  Piles of crumbs wall to wall on the kitchen floor.

Oh and dogs got into a fight over trying to out eat each other for the treat on the floor........


So much for that...Way to start the day at 5.30 am....
