Up before sunrise again, glad
I was, it was a nice one. Though I guess every sunrise is a nice one.
We’ve been putting carrots
out in the back yard and every morning they are gone, but haven’t seen the
bunnies feast on them yet. We’ve seen them running down the road during the day. They are
small rabbits, not jack rabbits which surprised me.
So where are we in my saga?
Been to the doctor’s office again. And am now on a pill - that might or might
not help. What a surprise that was when I picked it up. We have pretty good
insurance but this batch cost $50 for one month - WOW. And it might not help!
Was reading the side effects - they are worse than the problem! So we’ll see
what happens. So for the time being I'll learn to live with it. In January some time I'll be able to get it fixed - I hope. So now we might have to make different plans for what was going to be a January trip to Mexico.
Yesterday the house cleaners
came again, our son is sending them over once a week. Wonderful son. They do an
excellent job. But I feel weird just sitting here watching them work. Feel like
I should be doing something. Going to be spoiled when I have to start doing it myself again.
Made peanut butter cookies
yesterday - using a mix - they sure don’t taste like the cookies I remember
from my youth. Guess I should get out a cook book and make “real” ones. They
were supposed to bake at 375 - so I set the oven at 300 - it heated to 375 - so
they turned out perfect. I should call someone to calibrate it before I forget to change the settings and really burn something. .
I have been on a quest lately
looking for “Salad Dressing” - no not the kind you pour over your salad but the
white stuff that looks like mayonnaise but tastes different. Couldn’t remember
who made it. Finally found it - Miracle Whip makes it but it is now called
Miracle Whip Dressing - Original. Found it at Albertsons thanks to an older
clerk who remembered what it was. Yummy - I like it better than mayonnaise on
sandwiches. Have also rediscovered macaroni salad. It is strange how we slowly
stop eating some foods that we always liked. Don’t know why…just drift away
from them. I remember eating macaroni salad every summer when I was young.
Another thing is ground bologna with ground dill pickles and salad dressing.
Made such good sandwiches. I think I get a chunk of bologna and try to make
some - I have a grinder. Will it taste as good as it did when I was a kid?
I love macaroni salad...I add a can of tuna and frozen peas...and can eat it for several meals...of course the food police tell us it's unhealthy...but I'm an "older person" and I'm probably healthier than a lot of younger people these days. ha,ha
ReplyDeleteHum...the tuna sounds good. Also reminds me of tuna casserole - haven't had any in years. Used to make a tuna mixture with lemon slices under it and corn bread on the top. Loved it. Might make it again soon.
DeleteAh yes, Miracle Whip! It is thankfully easy to find here in Montreal, Canada, which, believe me, and unfortunately, many things are not. For example, I used to be able to purchase Jif peanut butter here but it is no longer around. It was the best I ever had. You have a lovely blog, and this is a great post, thank you so much for sharing. Warm greetings from a baby boomer in Montreal, Canada. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how some things are available in some areas but not in others. I like Bernsteins Salad dressing - but we couldn't get it in Indiana - it is in all the stores here in Vegas. Same with Gallo salami- can't get it in the East. Wonder why.
ReplyDeleteDon't you have a food processor? Grinders are so out of date....
ReplyDeleteI had some friends years ago who were always trying to find White House salad dressing. Finally found it in a small independent grocery.
yes, have a processor but the grinder just feels right to use.
ReplyDeleteThiss was lovely to read
