Got to take the cat back to the vet today. He is sick and isn't getting any better. I hope we don't lose him. Something is wrong with his throat. He has had x-rays and blood work, antibiotics and more and just isn't improving.
My new computer's DVD drive stopped working. I was on for hours with Toshiba. They had me re-set the unit back to factory settings which did no good. Now I have to pay to have it shipped back to Toshiba for repairs. Under warranty and I have to pay for half the shipping! What is worse is that it will break again if I use the DVD drive again. I know Toshiba's drives. It happened with my last computer. They are crap. I will just use my external drive to burn or play. To add insult to injury, I will have to spend days setting it all up again. What a PITA!
So. What's for dinner? Maybe burgers. That sounds easy. Maybe a bacon avocado burger. The problem with cooking burgers inside is it makes a hell of a mess. Grease all over the place. Maybe I will grill them but I don't really get a good crust that way.
After watching "The Hundred Foot Journey" I may stop by the Indian grocer and just smell the air. They serve hot food.
I really enjoyed "The Hundred Foot Journey". Helen Mirren is an outstanding actress!
Sending you all the best wishes with your cat..
Hoping something is not caught in his throat...
My Artie goes in on Monday for a dental with multiple extractions..poor baby....
Last year it was a diagnosis of IBD. Over the past year he got the IBD under control, but then his teeth started up. He has resorptive lesions..meaning they can rot from the gum line internally..very painful also. The root of the tooth gets absorbed into the bone of the jaw..really different than humans.
I have noticed his eating is worse. He is drooling, and is lapping up the juice more than the food.
I have resorted to pureeing his food with my mini food processor...
For some reason, I am not feeling good about this dental..I do not know why..probably because he is 12 yrs old and has been through so much...I feel really bad for him, yet I know this has to be done, but nervous...trying not to let him get my vibes, but each day he is eating less and less.
I cancelled all my plans for Monday, so I can stay close to the phone. I can clean the apartment or organize some things. I am sorry, but he is my best buddy since my dad died. We have been through a lot since I adopted him 4 years ago..
Pulled out some leftover combo eggplant parm. I had some chicken in sauce with it. It was very good, but I needed some pasta to sop up the gravy....

They gave us more meds and changed some meds. I hate giving them. At least they are through a syringe. If they were pills I would have nothing left except a bloody stump.

You know what? It's a shame they can't come up with trans dermal medicine for animals.Like the one we give for the fleas and ticks by putting the liquid on the back of the neck!

Cats don't eat like dogs. They would find the pill and eat around it. For dogs, my DH either wraps them in cheese or butter. If they catch on to that, then we put them in a glob of frosting.

Had lucious Pirogies cooked in butter and onions.
Yes! I ate 6 and Tina ate 2. Sour Cream on the side, was the Way I ate them.
Ahhhh! Belly is full and happy, and awaiting for my coffee and a brownie; topped with a chocolate frosting that Tina made with Just Cocoa, Philly Cream Cheese, and Powdered sugar, and Hershey's syrup.
No Butter....

I didn't get a picture of dinner....it was a buffet ~ salad, rolls, green beans w/almonds, roasted potatoes, chicken in wine cream sauce, beef tenderloin in wine sauce, salmon w/shrimp. The hotel did a nice job and it was all very tasty.
The giraffe cake topper was a gift from their daughter-in-law because Lyn has collected giraffes for years and she thought it was appropriate for their 50th.
They had a comedy act and a DJ/musician who kept the place laughing all evening. Everyone had a wonderful time. Dane is exhausted from dancing the night away and my feet are killing me....but at least we're both still smiling!
Now, if we just make it through the brunch tomorrow, then we can all rest.

Barb-those shrimps are beautiful. What did you make?
**********
I am exhausted. The weekend festivities were a lot of work but SO MUCH FUN!
The brunch came off without a problem, everyone ate, drank and talked for hours. Two of our friends helped me with the set up and clean up so it was a wonderful joint effort that we made 'look easy'. We did use Ina's advice ~ make a couple things and buy the rest. I had made banana and some zucchini mini muffins that all I had to do was reheat in a hot oven for a couple minutes to make them taste like fresh baked. Barb brought a fresh vegetable tray with some dill dip. And Carolyn and Lyn both made similar egg strattas. Lyn had ordered meats & breads & croissants & bagels to make sandwiches and a fresh fruit tray from Publix. We had sweets and cake leftover from the dinner last night. We poured mimosas as everyone arrived and Lyn pulled out the old 30-cup coffeemaker from years past ~ funny how you don't want to toss out kitchen appliances that only get used every year or two!
But now the weekend is over and we can rest. Well, Lyn will have family stay for a couple days, but...it's done and we can all relax now.

The funny part of that post, was the dredded 30 cup coffee pot.
No matter who adds the coffee grounds, the coffee turns into Diesel fuel.
Then, if there are kids.....they all want coffee, just to get to push the lever on the spout and see the coffee pour out! It's like, we always had a 5 gallon water cooler, and kids would always push the water lever just to watch the water come out! .... Plus make a mess all over the floor! LOL

The leftover meat gets shredded and the juices mixed in. Makes a fabulous sandwich filling to go on sub rolls with melted mozarella cheese melted on top.
