What's for dinner tonight??? (white wine, diet, frozen, coffee)

[CrouchTigerHiddenDog]

Wow, Lacey!! So sorry you and your husband are going through so much!!!!! Change is tough. I had to do some due to overuse of aspirin. Prevacid and diet modification. Doing much better, but still eating some things I shouldn't!!


Tonight:

Sourdough grilled cheese sandwiches and homemade beef stew (yep, last of it finally!)

[HighlandsGal]

Okay, so I am thinking either beef tacos or chicken enchiladas tonight. And a margarita or two. My vacation just started until next Monday! Yay!

It's going to be our coldest night in a long time so I expect there will be some baking going on tonight to warm the house. Expecting it to chill down to a low around 43 or lower maybe.

43!!!!! That's shorts and T shirt weather here.

Yeppers! its already dropping down to the low 20's here some nights and the bird bath freezes solid....I watched a blue jay trying to crack it to get a drink.....no luck. Today was warmer but still was about 33 degrees this morning....and now it is a wet cold evening. We are going out to a Candidates Night in a little while.....I put on a sweater....first time I have worn a wool sweater in more than 5 years. It is the only one I took to Ca with me......

That's break out the heavy coats here. Starting Saturday it's back to the grind. 80's by day 60's by night. We will cook chili and stew the next couple of days before going back to the normal. We are just now getting to our prime time for grilling out doors. I stocked up on chicken leg quarters today at 59¢ a pound. Those will be grilled Thursday. I did go out the door this morning with just the long sleeve shirt and after two steps I came back inside and put my light jacket on. Wind was rather brisk and went through me in an instant. I still like the freshness of the chill.

No progress. I'm still on the couch and unable to walk without crutches or drive at all or even stand for more than about 30 minutes.

I did find out that the blood clot in my leg has shrunk down to about 2 1/2 inches though so there is some good news.

I have an appointment on Nov 12th for Xrays to see if the bone is knitting together. No idea what the next step is if no healing.

I sure hope you get some good news on the 12th. You really deserve it. I'm sending postiive thoughts your way! Boy it is cold and so windy here today--it blows that cold right through you! Brrrrrrrrrr
