August, 2105 ~ What's for Supper?

bethk wrote:Jimmy, I would bloat up like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon if I ate all the donuts and sweets you're able to eat.  My 'snack' is stuff like an apple.  or a tomato with s&p.  or some celery with cream cheese.  

I use to be able to eat anything and everything.....but not any more.

I took my friend, Barb, to her Dr. appt. in Gainesville yesterday.  The doc didn't like how ill she was (she was having breathing problems and an unrelenting cough) so Barb got admitted to Shand's Hospital to (hopefully) get fully tested to find what her health problems are caused by.

I'm heading back to stay with her and help take notes on the tests she's undergoing, the results and to be helpful where I can.  Then I'll let her children know what's going on since they're all in Ohio.

Half an hour later she called to ask me to stay home.  She's exhausted and, between tests, etc., all she wants to do today is nap.  She assured me she was fine, was getting excellent care with a whole team of docs and residents and students in to study her case on a routine basis.  She's feeling, for once in the last year & a half, that someone is actually trying to get to the base problem instead of just experimenting with one drug after another.

So, I've pulled a meatloaf out of the freezer.  Somehow, comfort food sounds great to me.  I bought a red onions when Imelda posted her blooming onion pic with the intent of copying her.  I'm going to bake the onion and then surround it with some baby fingerling potatoes.  I've got leftover sweetcorn and limas so Dane will do a happy dance when he finds succotash on his plate!

Great... Glad Barb is getting good care and is resting. Good News!

Looks good Barb. I would hold off on the chicken breast though. Don't throw out the tomato stem. I love them.
