A Home Cooked Meal

 Today was the first day I had cooked since Tuesday! I don't even remember what we ate but I know that two days we had pizza that Vince picked up and brought home. The day we went to the doctor - Wednesday, we ate at Panda Express. Friday we went to the ER and got breakfast out. The rest of the time I think Vince ate leftover pizza. I ate toast and jam one night, turkey and pepperoni and cheese one night. I've tried to eat enough yogurt since I'm taking two antibiotics. 

Yesterday, I guess Vince was getting tired of fast food, and he asked if I could find a jar of canned beans and sausage. Oh, yes, I could find that. He said he would help me cook but I knew I could do it if he would help with clean up.

I made a pot of rice.


I ground wheat and cornmeal to make cornbread.


Here it is with the grains ground.


Then I made coleslaw!

The jar of beans and sausage was opened, heated up and dinner was served!


I feel like I'm almost back to normal . . just being very protective of a sore finger. My plan for tomorrow is to can more beans, make whole wheat tortillas, fix chicken tacos with corn relish, open a jar of black beans - a very quick meal with minimal mess to clean up.

When I'm not cooking much, I do miss it but I'm very thankful Vince was ok with me not cooking for a few days.

  1. Are you going to keep us in suspense over your injury? I'm thankful you're still able to do the things you can. Things could always be worse.

  This is kind of a funny story - at least I think it is!  Sometimes it seems that there's a cross stitching chart that EVERYONE is work...
