Food with Attitude!

Oh yes yes yes yes!!!



Excellent!

WTH?!?!?

My boss is now referring to me as 'Dr. Louis' in his emails and messages.

Well, it's about darn time, Doctor.


:lollll:

Good! I thought maybe they would if the doc said you need one.

I have a script for a headache med that wasn't originally covered until my doc said I needed it. I had another one like that for my back as well.

It's strange that they covered meds for me, but wouldn't cover the one Mr asked for. Although maybe it was because they covered one they said was close to the same thing. It was't really though. Therapeutic alternative they called it.

LOL...noice. I have a few friends who refer to me as their Witchdoctor, but Dr alone states a different thing!

I got:
lessons
money
family

just as I am trying to figure out how to tell my mom 'no' because she wants me to buy a house with her.

Oh, that sounds like a sticky situation. Does she live by herself & want/need company?

We got the garden out front all fixed up tonight after we got home when it wasn't so hot. It's just a little corner by the front door, but it's mine & it's pretty.

Mr has some Asian rice noodles my daughter made with some frozen egg rolls he bought.

There is still some chicken noodles soup left. I'm going to make a grilled cheese on rye with havari & a Portobello mushroom to go with it.

There are no coincidences <3

^That^ SAYS IT ALL!

Yummy :)

I totally overate tonight, half an oyster poboy and 1/4 a reuben, two tall boys.

fat belly rubs...

Wise happy buddha



and Para, my mom is like a steamroller. She's awesome and she's used to getting her way. She and my dad are still happily married and he spoils her. In all honestly, I suspect things are tight for them financially and although my brother and sister both live close to her in the midwest, I suspect she thinks that since my kids are nearly grown I could come and take care of them. I do have to leave here once littlest is finished with her schooling. But that is another story.

I'm not sure I can do it. I love my mom and dad but I have always been the black sheep of the family - I don't do conventional very well.

And I worry that my already strained relationships with my siblings would be truly severed if I were to buy a house with my parents who are in their 80s and then they are gone and I live in a house that is part of their estate. It gets complicated but life is that way.

I hope everyone finds something that tastes as good as my coffee does today!

Good morning DB and anyone else on

My breakfast is pasta, marinara, sausage, with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese on top!

I know, odd breakfast, however Mrs. cooked pasta for lunch yesterday and I've not eaten since then, so what she made for me I kept under refrigeration until today.

Salute to good coffee, indeed. Working on my first cup. Just wrapped up the simple syrup. Will squeeze all the lemons and limes later. And since I made so much syrup, I'll go ahead and make a batch of amaretto sours: = parts lemon juice, amaretto, syrup. Serve over hammered ice.



And, with a smile, and a light Lance kek, I repeat myself when she has a pity party, "Mother, you better take care of yourself, because no one else is gonna wipe your butt or blow your nose."

Do what is best for you, drinking buddy. And be prepared to take care of yourself till the end. I know you are as strong as that and more!!

ETA, that looks marvellous Louis!!!

I love those macaroni noodles with the ripples on the back, So fancy!

Family is always complicated it seems. My parents are gone now. I have sisters & a brother, but I only talk to the oldest sister anymore. We get along now that I'm an adult.

When my mom died, she took care of her things. I didn't even go home for the funeral. I cut ties when I married & moved away. She was never much of a mother.

Best of luck to you in working out how to let her know you're not interested.

I have to start therapy for the bursitis in my shoulder today. This is a new place and hopefully much better than the place I was sent to for my neck a few years ago.

We are going out tonight for dinner afterward with my daughter, SIL, & Baby if she doesn't have plans with friends.

I saw Love and Gratitude at the same time, so I'm counting them both. :)

Great idea!

I invited hotdog harry to come join us.

His thread has me thinking about making a corned beef on rye sammich!

in reference to the family issue I mentioned, we are from Minnesota [bachelor farmer] stock. That means we don't really talk about the elephant in the room. We just avoid it until it hopefully goes away.

Louis I am thinking I need pasta and meat sauce for dinner now. But it is so darned hot for us, I remain undecided. I am thinking about venturing to the garden to get some grounding/play in the dirt time. I still have 4 zucchini plants to put into the ground. My broccoli has mostly bolted.

Glad I didn't bother with peas this spring.

But the flowers are ahhhh mazing. Peonies, poppies, and the mock orange bush which smells heavenly.

Wow DB, you have much greater gardening progress than us.

When it was hot here two weeks ago I used the ruffly back pasta and made that antimatter antipasto with the cheeses, sopressata Italian meat, beans, tomatoes, and Italian dressing. It was a great hot day meal.

It cooled down here and should be cool much of the week behind rain. We had 1.38" today so far.

Oh, here is my Corned beef and onion ring dinner.

NO way am I reading the last 15 pages since my last response.



Sweet brown says; nobody got time for dat!

My daughter gave me a phone chip on her family plan. All I need to do is get a phone and pop it in.

I am reserved about getting a new smart phone.....sigh.

I prefer face to face communication. If I find myself in the neighborhood of friend or family, I would rather just drop in than call or text.

Currently, I don't own a mobile device. I prefer it this way, but I will probably eventually break down and get a compatible smart phone again so that I can call people to let them know I plan on stopping by.

Creation, Love, Family.

Oh crap!

I think my dog just had a stroke or a heart attack!

I was walking up to the main house with him and he just keeled over, groaned and stopped breathing!

I walked over too him and pounded on his rib cage. He was like a rag doll....

After about 20 seconds, he sat up, real weak and looked at me like what the hell happened?

I asked him if he wanted some food......he stumbled down the steps after me and followed me inside. I gave him his food and he kinda panted with a sheepish grin....and then began eating.

He is 12 years old....

I don't think he has much time left.

Food, like time's arrow, moves ever forward waiting for no man.

Oh no!!!

I'm glad your K9 CPR worked!

It freaked me out.....

I know he doesn't have much time left.

The last few nights, he has been making weird noises in his sleep.

I will miss him when he is gone.... Best dog I have ever had the pleasure to call company.

awww, so hard to say goodbye. Are you in the heat wave? Keeping him as cool as possible may help. Wetting his foot pads with cool water while laying in front of a fan is really helpful.

I have a super old guy too.

No, it's only like 65 degree out today.

He just suddenly keeled over, groaned and stopped breathing!

:RI-ROO:

Never seen anything like it.
