The really good corn is making its first appearance so we are having steak, corn and salt potatoes again. Patti, you eat much healthier than we do. Wonder why your ankle is swelling?

Hey, Patti, hope your swelling goes down and stays down. Cheryl and I visited Terri this forenoon and they went in the cellar and brought up 4 sacks of canning jars. I think I can use all the quarts I can get. Randy showed up and after a bit we left. We picked up lunch and headed for Amber and Alyssa's. After eating, we brought Alyssa home with us. Cheryl started picking things out of the garden and then using the tiller. I did not get much done. Mostly ride around and around on the big rig. After they both left, I finally got to can 7 quarts of green beans. My supper was green beans, some leftover gravy and some bread. Iced tea hit the spot. Had shared some grapes with Alyssa while we rode around. She ate the yellow cherry tomatoes. Very humid day here in central Indiana.

Hope the sweling goes down, patti! We loves ya!

Loui's with friend, and t'was so so. I had pork chops, and squash casserole, that was rather soupy.

Went to Aldi's shopping, Publix, then Dollar Tree. Need a nap. Have gals coming for sandwiches and Mexican train, tomorrow.

Patti, hope that swelling goes down. Did they say it could be a side effect from your treatments? I cook this way for my hubby because I am a very picky eater & will not eat most stuff.

Rain on & off all day so I made macaroni & cheese.

I had a bowl of split pea soup. Dipped some crackers in a nacho cheese dip. Enough for me.

Patti, I so hate to hear you're having health issues. It's a real bummer.

Today I went over to a friend's house at 7:30 a.m. to care for her dog. She had hired a dog sitter but the dog is having some issues with her being gone and he attacked the sitter. She's afraid to go back and I don't blame her. Bogie has known me since they got him about 11 years ago, but he's growling and snapping at me, too. I waited for him to come out of the laundry room for an hour and a half and finally just shut the door and left him there because I had an appointment with a bathroom cabinet guy. I came back at 12:00 and he acted just fine, let me put his leash on him and take him for a walk. I don't think he had relieved himself for 24 hours! He hadn't eaten either. I'll go back around 7:30 p.m. Maybe he'll be receptive to me by then. If not, he's just going to have to wait until 10:00 or 11:00 tomorrow. I don't plan on being attacked. (He's just a little szhitzu but acting very aggressive)

DH doesn't want dinner again tonight....he thinks that's the way to lose weight. He's too old to argue with so whatever floats his boat is fine with me. I'll have a BLT. That's always good

Pam, I sure envy you people in the North and Midwest. The corn is so much sweeter than here. I think it has to do with soil versus sand. Anyway, you had me drooling!

Sue, have you counted how many green beans you've canned so far? I know it's a lot. Sounds like a fun day with the girls, even though you had to can later. I'm surprised you could even look at a green bean today!

Glenda, I found one of our Aldi's in our doctor roamings, but it's pretty far so I wouldn't be saving a lot overall. I've been in a mood for porkchops since Joan/MN posted about hers the other day. But we bought a lot of ribs on sale and until they're gone, there won't be any chops.

Mary, mac and cheese is a good choice for a rainy night. It isn't my favorite--usually just make cheese potatoes instead.

Shirley, that sounds good. I think I need dip now!!

Thanks for the "swell" wishes. My chlorides are low so I'm a little over-hydrated (which means I need to pee more--sorry for being so gross on the dinner thread).

I ate with Bob at Rehab.....steamed lobster tail, baked potato and roasted asparagus. Their dinners are $10 regardless of what you order even if it's a grilled cheese. The lobster was their daily special. I don't eat with him often but couldn't resist.

Georgysmom, Bogie will probably be fine now that he knows you'll feed and walk him. Sounds like he doesn't like his momma leaving him. BLT's are so good--don't know how your DH resisted the smell of bacon!

Jude, wow that's a great price for a lobster dinner. Bet they don't sell many grilled cheese, though. Don't see how anyone could resist that!

I made a brown sugar balsamic glazed pork loin for dinner and was it ever good! New recipe. Cooked all day in the crockpot then finished of the glaze in the oven. We had that with a spinach salad with fresh mushrooms, green peppers, red onions, and grape tomatoes topped with a honey balsamic vinaigrette. Then finished with diet banana cream pudding with cool whip topped with fresh blueberries and strawberries. It was a very good eating night at out house :-)
