Mild Temps
What’s not to love when the temps are mild right into the late afternoon.
We had errands to run. Dennis does the driving and I do the in and outing of places. It is actually good exercise for me, as me and the cane have one speed . . . slow.
The grocery store was in line after the post office. When we had some pork steak as an oven meal, there were leftovers. Leftovers make good repurposed meals. I needed some egg noodles, and sour cream. I have had some of the refrigerated “Better than Bullion” in the sautéed onion and garlic flavor on hand. It is in a jellied form in a small jar. When the noodles were still hot, I whipped in a large tablespoon of the sautéed onion bullion, a bit of olive oil and a cup of sour cream. The diced pork was the last be be folded in. I topped it off with fresh ground pepper. It looks very appealing to be popped in the oven latter on.
The last stop had been the Lewis Drug. If I could do a happy dance and remain upright I would have as there was no co-pay due on Dennis’ three month supply of Warfarin. We feel so blessed that our insurance premiums each month, that amount to a few cents over $15.00 for each of us, serves us well.
I do have supper ready and the kitchen prep has been cleaned up. I am ready for some chair time.
As a thought: a kind friend brought me donuts for my Wednesday and Thursday breakfast. How could I not accept them and then go on to enjoy them these last two mornings. They did taste oh so good as I have not had anything from the pastry counter in months and months. I told Dennis “not again.” The sugar high wore off both mornings and I could feel a downward spiral. I will be sticking to my plain yogurt, flax meal topped with blueberries or apple sauce. Every once in awhile falling off the wagon does teach a valuable lesson, much like not having carbonated soda beverages which are hard on the kidneys loaded with . . . nothing good, in the house.
