Skbs - So very happy to hear your Grandmother is doing better!!!!! I know how scary that must have been for you! Hang in there, and don't forget that I NEED MY DIVASODES!!!! LOL
Make a big ole chicken and rice casserole yesterday. Went to pour into the 9x11 casserole, and of course had too much and had to use a deep dish pie plate for the rest. Actually turned out pretty good, but I want more of a sauce/gravy on it. The rice turned out perfectly, and the chicken was pretty moist, but I still want it to have more of a "gravy" type thing going on. Actually poured a little creamy Caesar dressing on the side of my plate and dipped, and was pretty good. Hmmmm, maybe I will make up some chicken gravy and pour over the top and bake a little more. What y'all think? Will the chicken get too dry? Now remember, I did use cut up chicken breasts and they are not "dry" , but they were tiptoeing around it some!
I'm on new meds for my sinus infection, so I haven't cooked in a few days.... well, I did cook a grilled cheese and tomato for lunch. Just eating lots of leftover chinese food I picked up the other day. lol Not very exciting, but I don't feel up to it anyway.
Hope you're all having gastromical delights!!!
I'll check back in soon. Can't focus on all the reading... the sinus pressure is too intense.
Hello to all the lovely FOODIES I have missed my reading again I had to work a double shift yesterday. 12 long hours on my feet I had to wait on a party of 20 in the banquet room, and manage a dining room by myself. It went by pretty fast. I will be back here in the a.m. for my dinner ideas, and to catch up on some 20 pages or so Don't want to miss something

Have fun!
Off topic but - what meds are you on now? I have the same horrible thing, but am trying to avoid meds unless it gets worse... just used ibuprofen so far and some decongestant spray...think it's going past the worst now. Hope you feel better soon

Hey South... I did 10 days of Amoxycillin, then in the middle of that, had my toothache and had two new teeth put in. Within 2 days of being done with the amoxycillin and my tooth ache improving, I started sneezing again. Fought it for three days and lost.
I called the doctors office. They called in a perscription for Biaxin. 10 days scrip, but I could only handle one pill a day for 3 days instead of the 2 as persribed. That stuff ate my stomach. I swear to God I have holes in it from that one!!!! Whoa! And because I couldn't take it as perscribed, the infection grew worse.
Yesterday I dragged my butt into the doc's office and he gave me 10 days of Cipro... POWERFUL stuff, plus prednisone to reduce the swelling in all my passages, both nasal and chest, and had me pick up Mecuinex to help break up the phlegm. I'm supposed to do the saline solution, but I'm all set with that right now. lol It's all too raw!!!
My head is pounding and my left cheek burns from it. And this is a description of feeling better today!
If you've got pressure over your eyes or under them, you've likely got an infection going on. Chills? Sneezing? Blow your nose but nothing is really coming out? Infection. lol
Good luck!
And to keep it on topic... I have been eating candy and I'm about to reheat more chinese food. The prednisone really kicks up your appetite!!! NICE! lol I just wish I felt good enough to be cooking!!
Tell me about it. I dream about eating when on that stuff....Just let me help you out with the chinese...I could use some to extend my dinner tonight...Only two tacos and I think they are used up now. That is why I'm back in here looking for ideas...Got to check bacon stocks before going out tomorrow...
Thanks Coastalmaine - I feel your pain! I've had it so bad once I was close to meningitis and possible blindness, so don't ignore the symptoms anyone! Have now learned to keep it at bay with ibuprofen at the first signs, plus steam and rest. Horrible condition and very common.
On a lighter note I have started my training for the ChocOlympics with a pack of Rolo's and some Dove milk choc

Prednisone, for most men, also kicks up the sperm count!
