Cardioverted again this afternoon, tickin' like a Timex again. The
hospital missed her meds one day which may have triggered reversion. We dealt with that today, pro to pro, assignment of blame not an objective. **** happens, process improvement to reduce **** happenings must always be a priority. We continue to be delighted (in general) with the professionalism and caring attitudes we've seen and been provided. Mar is very glad to be home after 5 days in hospital. Prognosis is very good, particularly the part about me being the caregiver partner for a while which includes cooking, cleaning, laundry and scrubbing the floors. My turn in the barrel and she is lovin' that. For now. Her independence gland will swell up real soon. I am quite competent in mentioned activities so I'll go into smother mode and ignore her protests until it purely ****es her off to a level not consistent with domestic bliss. I'm thinkin' heart healthy here. I see a happy gunsmoke outing in my or our future next week. I'm very glad to have my gentle pardner and soulmate back at home. |

Glad to see your honey is back. Milady did about the same time in the hospital a couple months back. Amazing how much we miss them, isn't it? Now I was careful not to do too good a job around the house - be sure and burn something or stain some laundry. Karl |

The idea for the strawberries and poppyseed dressing came off the spinach bag. I'd already had strawberries in my basket, so ripe they'll only last a day. Strawberries and spinach are high in iron, necessary for hemoglobin production. Besides that, they taste best if they're really ripe and these suckers definitely were.

I made basmati last night with steamed broc and green beans. I'll pick up more broc and cauli today, on sale. My Aroma rice cooker came with two 9x2-1/2" steamer baskets. I can do 9 frozen chicken tenderloins on top, 1.5# of broc and cauli in the middle, and 4 cups (8 cooked) of rice on the bottom, for a 3-course-in-1-pan meal in 20 minutes, including prep. It's good for 3 days of lunches and dinners. Everything is steamed, and all vitamins are caught in the rice. "It's my favorite 'pan' said the lazy bachelor. *rainbow sherbet for dessert Yum! That's it. Sounds dirt simple and is but I claim points for flavor, presentation, nutritional value and ability to tempt milady to chow hearty. The vidalia onions just came in today. They're only here for a few weeks this time of year. They're so mild and sweet they're almost too mild to bother with on hamburgers, but they are wonderful in a salad. Raw onions, from chives on up, cause heartburn and raw onion burps in me for a minimum of 12 hours. Pass! The idea for the strawberries and poppyseed dressing came off the spinach bag.

Having fun is job 1 whenever possible which is about always even when things suck at times. Always make up menues when you're in a creative mood. Make them for as long as you stay creative that day, out to 6 months in advance, if you like. Then there is no daily "what to fix" dilemma. I'm a bachelor, so I fix whatever I want whenever I want it, and mix things in odd ways, like you just did. I at least try to be _couth_ about it, though. I don't insult strawberries and I use frozen fruit instead of ice for my smoothies. P.S: Chocolate ice cream on apple pie is ta die for. -- ....in order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work. -- John Ruskin |

Gawd, you want an engineer to edit a cookbook? Who else could lay out a recipe that mere mortals could prepare easily? Too often, I see an ingredient hidden among the instructions or instructions hidden among the ingredients. Also baseless assumptions made about the ability of the person reading the recipe. Clarified butter? Huh? Also mind bogglingly complicated recipes with huge ingredients lists that result in dishes that aren't nearly as good as their much simpler, more quickly prepared competitors. Don't get me started about 'dashes' and 'dollops' as units of measure. Besides,there's a real editor among us.

Roger that! We all have our various aversions. Mary is averse to garlic in more than miniscule amounts, I'm averse to the use of sherry in food. I like a glass of sherry but don't like it at all in clam chowder or chicken ala king. Urp retch barf gag level of dislike. Vidalia onions are nothing like yellow onions used in cooking real food and infusing a household with wonderful aroma of supper to be anticipated, definitely beating the stink of boiled cabbage from the bad old days. They're very mild and sweet, can be eaten like apples. They're too mild to be any good as raw slices on burgers but they do provide a bit of tang, texture and crisp crunch to a salad for we who can gag down a salad now and then. The big Texas sweets are much better as thick raw slices on burgers for the not-onion-averse. It's like vinegar. Really good, aged Balsamic vinegar bears no resemblance to everyday cider or wine vinegar. Some have used it as a dressing on ice cream. I've not found aged genuine balsamic here but it's readily available in the UK, even at Tesco, if one's Visa is up for the jolt. It's worth it. A vinaigrette made with this stuff is indescribable, not found in any restaurant here or abroad that I've ever been willing to afford. |

So did I. Maybe you're one of those guys who regard salad as what food eats... g No, I eat a whole lot of veggies. P.S: Chocolate ice cream on apple pie is ta die for. Death resulting from ballistic barfing? You obviously haven't tried it, you poor, chocophobic lad. If you taste something furry, clench your teeth -- that's your asshole coming up. G No, it was one of your damned _onions_ again. I gave up "furry" when I quit drinking 25 years ago. -- ....in order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work. -- John Ruskin |

Roger that! We all have our various aversions. Mary is averse to garlic in more than I'm a garlaholic. I just can't eat raw onions, but they're fine when cooked, and really -make- a soup. miniscule amounts, I'm averse to the use of sherry in food. I like a glass of sherry but don't like it at all in clam chowder or chicken ala king. Urp retch barf gag level of dislike. I don't mind red wine in food, but I remember "furry" when trying it by itself, long, long ago, in another life. Vidalia onions are nothing like yellow onions used in cooking real food and infusing a household with wonderful aroma of supper to be anticipated, definitely beating the stink of boiled cabbage from the bad old days. They're very mild and sweet, can be eaten like apples. They're too mild to be any good as raw slices on burgers but they do provide a bit of tang, texture and crisp crunch to a salad for we who can gag down a salad now and then. The big Texas sweets are much better as thick raw slices on burgers for the not-onion-averse. Yeah, Vidalia and Bermudas are supposed to be mild, but raw, they're as welcome as a dose of clap. It's like vinegar. Really good, aged Balsamic vinegar bears no resemblance to everyday cider or wine vinegar. Some have used it as a dressing on ice cream. I've not found aged genuine balsamic here but it's readily available in the UK, even at Tesco, if one's Visa is up for the jolt. It's worth it. A vinaigrette made with this stuff is indescribable, not found in any restaurant here or abroad that I've ever been willing to afford. Balsamic vinegar tastes like bad wine after it's gone off. Pass, thanks. It was good on fish and chips a very, very long time ago, but that was it. You might enjoy the furry stuff, but I sure don't. -- ....in order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work. -- John Ruskin |

*raw spinach salad with vidalia onion and sliced strawberries, dressed with poppyseed dressing If she's on blood thinners of any type, take a look at the spinach idea. Google coumadin and vitamin K to find the foods with the most vitamin K in them, which, in conjunction of some foods can increase the bleeding rate at up to 5 times.

We were aware of that, she is on coumadin. The doc said a little spinach is OK, the main thing is to be consistent. BTW, vitamin K aids clotting rather than impeding it. More at http://www.clotcare.com/clotcare/vit...dwarfarin.aspx She had an INR check this morning. It was right on target. |

Yes, K aids clotting, which lowers the INR number, which means that if you have more of a tendency to clot internally, which is not a good thing. K works against the coumadin, hence one should limit their K and let it bleed so as to avoid clots that can kill you or make you a vegetable forever.
