Looks Good Imelda....
Today (this morning ) ... I ran the vacuum on the steps carpet and the rest of the carpeting.
Tina made brunch of potatoes diced and fried and seasoned, and scrambled eggs with cheese inside as she scramble cooks the eggs. I Made the toast. That is always My Job.

We are full, and we want to take a rest in the living room and watch TV while we Rest Our Eye's! LOL.... But Not ME... I have to put the trunk carpet back in the car. Tina spilled a bag of sugar, and with the dampness, it stuck to the carpet. I had a heck of a time to get it off.

I am having a cup of tea now. Sooo Goood!

Oh, hope you're back to your old self soon.

Grab some chicken stock from the freezer to thaw so you have something to sit and breathe in when you get a little hungry later.....

Made waffles; Tina fried the sausage, and she ate 1/3 of a waffle, and I ate only one. Felt lousy today!....
I wanted to go to WalMart today, but feeling like poopers. Tina went to get stuff for the uncle.

Oh! Dear. Barb, take care of that acid re-flux.
I get that too. I slept late today and got up at 9:30. I went to sleep at 2:45 so maybe I slept too long?

I raised the head part of the electric adjusting bed to see if that works with digestion.

I hope I can eat the waffles tomorrow! lol

I tried the sample of hummus at Costco, it was good, but I did not want to spend $6 for that, so today I made my first Hummus ( actually inspired by seeing Ina Garten's cooked hummus in her show yesterday). I used 2 cans of garbazo beans ( $1.30 for both ), added cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and olive oil.. then I made veggie roll with hummus for Dirk, he loves it, and repeatedly said "good".. I'm having my first cup of latte now, I had a glass of fruit smoothie earlier today, I'll think I'll skip lunch.. I'm still so full, with smoothie and snacking the hummus

Agree making your own hummus is better than store brands. But you end up with SO MUCH when you make your own. We had a wonderful Lebanese bakery/deli in Ohio.....LOVED their hummus. It wasn't too garlicky and I could purchase a 1/2 lb. container (about a cup) for a small $$. My favorite is to have it with pita chips (homemade baked ones - super easy) and sprinkle a lot of fresh chopped parsley on top.

Isn't it funny?
I love Chi Chi Beans (Chick Peas)...all ways, etc., but I do not like Humus! I don't know what it is, but DD Maria buys it and gets different flavored ones from the store, but I just can't dip it and eat it like that. Maybe if it were home made, and then chopped so that it has a little pieces of the pea bean, I may like it better?

What I do like, and it is the Easter Season that they are served...is the Lupini Beans.
They are a bean that is very bitter, and they are a flat bean with like a hole on the side.
They must be prepared and brined before eating; because they are a poison if not.

Italians eat them a lot, and there is a religious story that accompany's that particular bean.
So has it, that they were cursed because when trying to hide in the fields where they are grown, they make noise like a rattle, and they were a dead give away if you tried to hide and scurry through the fields. That is why they are so bitter.

We used to soak them in clear water for several days so that they were more palatable.

They have a tough skin on them, and we would just squeeze them holding the flat part, and aim the hole (We called it the belly button hole ) toward the mouth.
hahahahaha... Many times we would choke because it shot right into the wind pipe; or it got stuck in the throat.
They have a nutty taste (a little salty ) and they reminded me of a chestnut.

I made a pot of Golden Mushroom Soup for our lunch....well, for our lunch and to have some of the mushroom soup base to go into the freezer so all I have to do is reheat and add some half & half. It's a wonderful recipe (got it from Rich....) and I've adjusted it along the way to make it more my own. I think one of the key ingredients, and one you don't usually see being added when making soup, is a good grinding of fresh nutmeg. It adds a nuance that really compliments the mushrooms.
