Like the Kramdens and the Nortons.
Oh How Nice!

I felt OK in the early morning but by noon I was so sore all I could do was lie in bed.  I'm still sore, muscle aches and pain, but I'm hoping the worst is over.  Dane made  me some chicken broth yesterday and I'm sure  it was good but it was all I could do to keep down about a quarter cup of the stuff.

Well, Jimmy, a flu shot can't hurt. Whether it will work depends upon the strain of flu and if it has mutated.

I have been making soups all week for Katie. She has stomach ulcers and has been having some pain. She won't eat pork or beef so I made split pea with smoked turkey wings. It isn't as good as ham. I made two different lentil soups: one with cumin and coconut milk and the other seasoned with thyme and Italian seasoning. I didn't like the one with cumin. Yesterday I ade corn chowder. I am not sure I like that one. Today is a crockpot full of 15 bean soup. Making this one with smoked turkey again but I will use the ham flavored packet that came with the beans. I have been making the mess and cleaning it up but now I have an issue: Katie and Joe are acting like teens and are putting their dirty dishes in the sink. How do I tell Katie that I am not her maid and to rinse her dishes and put them in the dishwasher without making her mad? Joe is no problem: I just out-and-out tell him that I am not his maid. Hasn't done much good. What he did do was take a wine glass of Katie's that had to be hand washed (she just left it in the sink after I told her it had to be hand washed) and washed it for her. Maybe I should just quit doing any dishes at all and see what happens.

And, yes, Jimmy, I always get a flu shot.  I don't think it was anything more than a 24-hour yucky thing.

I've got plans for a chicken noodle something with a Parmesan cream sauce.  One of those throw-together-what-you-have meals.
