I am a bit tired, have been working on the house. Today Alyssa went to Toddler Time and after it was over they went into the library part to show her Daddy the pumpkin she decorated for the contest and she found out she won first prize! I guess she will get some kind of book. She made a spider pumpkin. My supper was a eggs, potatoes and Spam mixed together and cooked. Had some applesauce and had milk to drink. It has been rainy here all day. I am going to bed really soon. I am pooped and will try to be back at it again tomorrow. I guess you really do need to rest Patti.

I'm not sure what, but it won't include carbs.

My blood sugar is not behaving. I'm not on any meds, and have been able to keep it under control with diet and exercise, but it's been pretty high lately.

And, being out of work and not having insurance is not helping the stress level.

Drinking lots of water and walking more....and eating no carbs.

Lunch was over the top, today.

Game day at my place, abd we decided to go out for lunch at the culinary school restaurant and WISE decision!

I had pan seared red snapper, served over awesome mashed sweet potatoes with grilled asparagus.

Freshly made pumpkin muffins to munch on before the meal arrived.

Dessert special was blueberry bread pudding with vanilla bean vanilla ice cream. One gal ordered, but everyone was so stuffed she put the ice cream in my refrig and took everything home when we finished playing.,

Hey, I added on your yesterdays thread, that I went to Irondale/Whistlestop Cafe, and ate a warm buttered big piece of cornbread just for you!

I had to run errands today. Then went to visit my special needs sister. They had a Halloween party last night at the Home. She got to help hand out candy. She was still so excited about that and the fact she got to hold a grandniece for a good bit of time.

My meal tonight was just Stouffer's chipped beef over a potato.

Now I get to go through push this number, then that number while I try to get my email fixed by the cable company.

It was beautiful here today. We played golf and on the way home had a late lunch, early dinner. We each had a dozen oysters on the half shell and then shared a basket of fried clams. I'm glad we don't have to go out again for dinner. I'm sleepy righ now.

Patti, I sure hope that you're feeling better today. Are you taking vitamins?

We're going to have whole wheat pasta with butter, garlic, and shrimp. I've got the 'fixins' for a good salad, too.

Patti, sleep is very good for you, so don't fight it. Your body is telling you to rest.

Heavy rain & high winds all day & we had to drive 2 1/2 hrs to Nashville. There were so many accidents down there & the interstate was a disaster.

For dinner it was homemade mac & cheese with ital. bread.

Going to pan sear a pork chop, cook potato pancakes, fry an egg over easy, and a add applesauce. I am hungry, haven't eaten all day.

Sue, it's so neat Alyssa won first prize! You must be getting ready for Amber's birthday on Sunday--? Sleep well!!

Jean, I hope you get your blood sugar under control. I'd do just about anything to keep from taking meds.

I never remember the culinary school. I've heard the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Aww, thanks for having corn bread for me. I thought I had some in the freezer, but I was wrong. Not that I could eat it, but it
sure sounds good!!

Shirley, I'm doing errand day tomorrow. Mainly getting insurance, bank, etc. put in my name only. I'll tackle Social Security Monday. Talk about "push this number" I tried calling them, but after going through the rigamarole I got a message that the wait time was 1 hour. Bummer!

Georgysmom, you had a great week of seafood! Glad you're back safely.

Rhizo, your dinner sounds so good. Yes, after all that sleep I felt pretty good today :-) No vitamins yet. Too big for me to swallow.

You obviously needed that sleep Patti, so don't feel bad.

I put a Caramilk bar in the freezer because I don't like runny caramel. I took a piece out and let it warm up so it was still chewy.
Crack! Oh, oh, that doesn't sound good. Yep, I broke a tooth.

Phoned the dentist first thing this morning and they were able to get me in for 4 pm. So I just got home, and we're having pasta and meat sauce. I didn't get a freezing!! He said he was sure he could fill it without freezing, and I told him to go for it. I feel so good without having to "thaw". LOL

We are having grilled pork chop steaks, scalloped potatoes & a big salad. Went to Olive Garden yesterday and bought a bottle of their dressing, can't wait to try it.

Just pizza here as we are taking turns greeting the trick or treaters. Glenda, I love culinary school meals! We don't have one near us, but I once went to the CIA near Hyde Park NY. Patti, do you have speaker on your phone? If I have to wait, I put the speaker on and try to do some nearby work or reading.

A gloomy, windy day with little rain. The leaves and pine needles are really falling. We are having ditalini shrimp salad with baked beans and buttered steamed broccoli.

Hope you are able to eat more things soon, Patti.

Patti...I hope I'm not being a pest, but I really worry that you aren't (can't) eating enough of a variety of foods to be healthful to your recovery. You can purchase liquid vitamins almost anywhere.....big box stores, pharmacies, groceries, and on line.

Supplying your body with the raw materials it needs to heal, recover, and thrive is essential for you right now.

Weight Watcher weigh in tomorrow, so I had an early lunch and keeping it very light for dinner. I hate Thursdays lol

Mummy fingers...scrambled eggs, english muffins or toast..

It is breakfast night after all...and Halloween...

6:30, plenty dark and not a single treater... :(

We had Japanese noodles with chicken broth and lots of vegetables.
I signed up this week for CSA.....community supported agriculture. The provider is Talley Farms and my son and daughter went to school with the owner of the farm. Brian has always been involved with the community and grows sustainable produce.....a lot of it organic.
I was happy and surprised by the amount and quality of the stuff in the box.
There was lettuce, celery, sugar snap peas, avocados, butternut squash, pomegranate, apples, oranges, a sweet potato, green onions and a page of recipes. There may have been more but my memory is lacking at times.
I love that the vegetables and most of the fruits are grown in our county. Oh, and I got a big, high quality artichoke.
I love planning our menus around fresh, sustainable stuff.

Trying to clean out the fridge. Took the last of the turkey and made a thick, cheesy, gravy, tossed in the turkey and some cooked macaroni, put it all in a casserole dish and popped it in the oven with some more cheese on top. Hubby loved it!
