June 2018, Whats for Dinner ??

bethk wrote:No supper tonight.  I found a couple biscuits in the freezer when I was 'organizing'......amazing how stuff can get lost at your fingertips!  Fortunately, I wrap most things really well and they weren't bad.  I thawed one out and had some of the recently made/frozen sausage gravy for my brunch.  REALLY filling (and really tasty).  

But, you've all seen a pic of it before ~ and, quite honestly, it's not all that 'pretty' on a plate so no pic.  

It seems like one meal a day is enough for me, although I'm still struggling with trying to get down sufficient water to ward off the sharp shin muscle pains.  I wish coffee counted but, apparently it does not.

I bought some more of the really good Georgia peaches and they're ripening on the counter.  I did chop one today to make some more peach salsa.  I just love the sweet/hot flavor of that stuff.  It's in a little jar in the refrigerator, melding flavors, and I'll probably have some tomorrow with tortilla chips as a snack ~ or, more likely if I open the refrigerator door and see the jar.....for breakfast!  LOL

Oh NOOooo! Beth, you too? ( leg cramps / pains ).
Tina screams locked in her recliner everytime she either walks too far, or is exhausted from the warm weather.
The only thing that works after taking it in 20 to 30 seconds, is the Amish leg cramp medicine. All natural, and it contains apple cider vinegar.
I put a cap full in like 1/3 cup orange juice, and she drinks it all down. In less than a minute, the pains / cramps are gone.

No leg cramps, Jimmy ~ but the dehydration causes the nerves in my left leg to send out a piercing sharp pain on the front of my shin.  Doc prescribed "DRINK MORE WATER!" and she was absolutely correct.  Keeping hydrated works like a charm.  Only problem is, since I don't care for the taste of water I forget to keep drinking.  And for years I've avoided drinking too much during the day because the more I drank the more I had to run to the bathroom ~ and I had stuff to do!  Can't get a job done if you're stopping every half hour to take a break.  So I did myself no favors in training my body to ignore the thirst ~ story of my life.  I think I'm doin' a good thing and turns out I'm an idiot.

So, all I have to do is drink, drink, drink ~

The Georgia peaches I've been able to get at the Publix Store have been truly spectacular this year.  Sometimes I buy some and they smell great but by the time they sit for a couple days to 'ripen' they end up being dry and mealy.  This year they have been super sweet and juicy ~ just the way you expect good peaches to be.  I don't even mind that it's too early for the 'cling-free' ones and I have to cut the flesh from the pit.
