When it rains it pours?
Last week during the rain, I had to go outside and retrieve our recycling cans from the street. I unlocked the gate and, since I had Gavin on the leash, took him with me. All was fine until on the way back in as I was walking down the wood ramp my feet went out from under me as if I was on ice. I landed on my butt however, most of my weight went on my left wrist.
Hours later, after icing the wrist a couple of times, the pain was enough to prompt me to go to my doctor. X-rays proved I didn’t break it but I did sprain it. Thus, the brace on my wrist.
Then, later that night, as I went to post these pictures, my phone line broke. I had no phone (other than the cell phones) or internet.
I finally have my phone line repaired and my wrist is healed now too.
Another ‘almost’ fail recipe
It’s a good thing that I’m good at doctoring recipes. I tried one from the AHA Meals in Minutes Cookbook last night that could have been a total fail.
The recipe is called No-Chop Stew and the flavor was not there at all. I added garlic, basil, and oregano to boost the flavor. After the additions the taste was acceptable. I made notes in the cookbook.
Anyone getting my old cookbooks after I’m gone will find notes on most of the recipes. The notes range from, “This is a good one.” to added ingredients to make the recipe a good one.
