Oh Patti...good to see you posting..and even better, eating!

Dinner tonight is unknown...I'm not it the eating mood, let alone the cooking mood..it is 2:44 and I am sitting upright for the first time today..I slept alot and am trying to keep fluids, in!
(Not so sucessful yet.) trying green tea, with a splash of ginger syrup and a t of coconut oil. So far it's okay.

I'll keep sipping what I can....the others can figure it out for themselves...

Hi Patti, Glad to see your post. I missed what happened with you. Did you have a set back? Hubby is fixing us French toast. My sister is living with us while she mends from a right broken collar bone. Due to her other difficulties she is unable to do care for herself, dress, bathe, etc. Can't see well enough to use our tv remote.

Patti, sure have missed you. Glad to hear you are able to eat even a little bit. That means you are getting better & that is good. The weight will come back now that you can eat some.

Tonight was spaghetti & meat balls.

It was 22 this morning. No sun all day & now it is raining.

What a pleasant surprise. Stouffer's often fills the bill, doesn't it?

My meal was very quick to make and to clean up after. I had a cup of butternut squash soup, and a fried egg sandwich.

Happy Hour refreshments are now leaning toward a jumbo Taco, followed by Strawberry Cheesecake. Followed by some candy, cookies, and maybe a Bananna Split.

Oh so good to see you back to posting and also good to hear you eating more. Keep it up, especially the eating. I went out for breakfast this morning with Cheryl and Kevin. We had breakfast at the Sirloin Stockade, really good. No lunch. Supper was for all of us the leftover creamy vegetable soup, grilled cheese and the others are having leftover pie too. We finished off that soup and the chili is also gone. Only thing left in the soups is the Great Northern bean.

Thanks, Terri. No wonder you don't feel like cooking after all that baking and cooking your did over the holidays. I hope you're just tired and not coming down with something. (Fingers crossed!)

Thanks, Pam. The only thing that happened was I got that cold/sore throat that's going around, but with my compromised immune system (whatever that means), it knocked me for a loop and I spent over 2 weeks in bed--half the time barely able to drink due to the sore throat. It sure feels good to feel half way decent!! I'm sure sorry about your sister and it must be hard on you taking care of her when you aren't used to it. So nice of your DH to be helping you out--a lot of men wouldn't. Enjoy the French toast!

Hi, Mary--thank you. I haven't seen you posting much lately and was hoping you are feeling okay. I sure don't envy you that 22 degree weather. Ick! I think I have meatballs in the freezer i made earlier. I'll have to check.

Shirley, thank you. Yes, I think I'll be living on Stouffer's until I get a little stronger. Still a lot I can't eat but, hey, I'm getting there one bite at a time. Can't wait for a fried egg sandwich! Woohoo!!

OldFixer, just what are you having for "happy hour" that's giving you the munchies so bad?

Thanks, Sue. I wish I had people around to feed. As much as I like to cook, I can see cooking for one is going to be problematic! Had I been there, the GN bean soup would also be gone :-)

Patti, nope no "bug"...it'll pass...I have some wacky hormones..Day 1 or 2 can be awful...migraine type headache..that no drug known to man can squash..about once a year it's so bad...that more than the headache comes along..and my already low body temp..gets lower..That would be today..
Tomorrow right as rain...
I am sitting upright in bed and have almost finished my cup of tea. It's only taken 2 hours, with a nuking in between..lol

Hubby went to get food for the masses...and I asked for a can of vegetable beef soup...after the other post I may regret it. :D

But if all else fails. I have some cup of chicken noodle packets buried and probably out of date in the pantry. Lol

Waving at you patti and sending good thoughts!

Stay at home kind of day, and I had food in the refrigerator to eat!

Roast beef au jus panini
Finished my carrot bake
Ate couple halo's

Patti...so nice to see you feeling a little better. Sometimes, Stouffers is just the right thing, isn't it? Give me the mac 'n cheese and a spoon, and I'd be happy! :-)

And I'm thinking that you have Old Fixer figured out, lolol!

Robert and I have been pretty sick for over a week. He felt hungry for some real food today and got ready to go pick up something. I begged him not to even bring it in the house....I don't want to smell any real food.

I graduated to rolled oats with a little almond milk. Tasted wonderful.

Terri--geez, that's something to look forward to each month, huh? Poor Terri. Feel better soon, girl!

Hey Glenda, I'd stay home too for that meal (even though it isn't carrot CAKE). I got myself a Cuisinart 5-in-1 Griddler for Christmas and I'm looking forward to paninis among other things.

Rhizo, gosh I hope you and Robert are both better soon. I think he's feeling a tad better than you are if he's hungry. It's so hard to be sick over the holidays when there's so much to do. Oatmeal will fill you up and it's nice and bland. Good for what ails 'ya.

Just finished a glass of eggnog (180 calories per 1/2 c.) Yikes, that that rate I should be back to normal weight in about a week! Time for bed--g'night everybody.

Well I suppose it could be worse..I rarely have other discomforts and it's rather quick..like 4 days..

So dinner was Progresso Beef Noodle..I think..wasn't to bad..a bit bland..and while the "beef" cubes looked meaty and tasty..they were very rubbery.

And I had just enough of my fav childhood cracker to eat with it..

Nabisco Chicken in a Biscuit

So sorry to hear that some of you are not feeling well. We're still working on leftovers from Christmas. Tonight I made a huge salad with Napa cabbage, romaine, Jarlsberg, craisins, green onions and the last of the turkey, dressed with a white balsamic vinaigrette. A friend brought over some homemade soft chicken tacos, but I put those in the refrigerator for tomorrow.

It has been a cold rainy day here on top of the hill. But the menu said Beer Butt Chicken, so that is what we had...Beer butt chicken, seasoned perfectly roasted fresh green beans and a huge salad. It was very good!!
