I think I watch too many cooking shows

What’s for dinner?

Three words I hate hearing the most.

Last night I pulled some boneless chicken breasts out of the freezer and thawed them.

What to do?

Remembered seeing someone soak the chicken in (smoked paprika and Adobo) seasoned milk…so I did that. Then they dipped the chicken in (smoked paprika, Adobo, and rosemary) seasoned flour, back in the milk, and into the flour again…I did that too.

Heated some oil in my non stick pan and dropped that chicken in there.

Cooked for four minutes a side and dang, they were good!

Sorry, I forgot to get a picture of it.

Therefore, I’m putting The Curmudgeon’s Tee shirt of the day up.

He struggled yesterday

It was hard to watch how much The Curmudgeon struggled to stay upright.

I cry every night after he goes up to bed.

I find myself pushing him away, distancing myself and I get so angry all the time.

I’m not a nice person.

I used to be a nice person.

A Pooh Bear sort of lunch

So I called G yesterday morning and asked her if she’d like to make a Target run with me.

She was game so off we went.

After making our purchases at Target, we headed over to the farmers market.

By the time we left the farmers market we were both starved and set our sights on our new favorite restaurant, Wrangler’s Roost.

As usual we ordered the same thing, a Southern fried chicken sandwich. It comes with either BBQ sauce or honey for dipping. We chose the honey.

The right choice! Absolutely delicious but very sticky. We were the image of Winnie The Pooh in the honey pot. 🙂

Lucy at the vet’s

Lucy went to the vet’s today, for her while asleep leakage problem and a sort of pre-tooth cleaning visit to set things up for it.

She managed to charm everyone there. She’s truly a love sponge.

Just a quick note

Did you ever notice how when you are told to rest it becomes impossible to do?

At least it is for me…

She’s trying to rest….

Mom is trying to rest and I’m helping…0823161825a

Rest he says…

My doctor wonders why I laugh whenever he tells me to get a lot of rest.

It’s a man thing. They have no idea why a woman never gets the rest she needs.

Rest he says….yeah, I’ll do that when I win the lottery and can hire an army of maids to clean this house.

Rest he says… I’ll do that when I hit the lottery and can hire a cook.

Rest he says… I’ll do that when I have a doggie door and dog proof fences.

Rest he says… I’ll do that when The Curmudgeon has his own nurse and I no longer have to do it all for him.

And now…I am going to try to get some rest.

Yuck…sick…

I hug my bull terrierDay two medicated…feel worse.

Hey Doc…I have this tickle in my chest…

So, I got a shot, antibiotics, and a cough syrup from the doctor today and all I did was go in for my regularly scheduled appointment.

Problem was I’ve had this tickle in my chest for a couple of weeks so naturally I mentioned it to him.

He took a listen to my lungs and said, “Yuck.”

The next thing I knew, one of his nurses gave me a shot and handed me a bottle pills and a bottle of cough syrup.

I go back in a month now.

What am I bid?

One Curmudgeon in poor condition.

Going once…

Going twice…

What no bids?

None?

So, I’m still stuck with him…. Sigh.
