I am so glad all that is over Scozz, and hope you will soon feel more like your usual self and able to eat what you fancy.

It's reassuring that you are being so thoroughly checked out, just a shame it means so much preparation and discomfort.

Take it easy now

Lady Scozz.
I do hope all goes well at the doctors and you are feeling better now and eating. I wont be on here for a while so take care xx

Thanks Sylvia. It all went well.

Got a 'phone call last night from a nurse at the clinic, checking to see how I am. Wasn't that nice.

:-)

You take care LadyScozz and rest. x

Rest? very funny!

The house is a tip.

I haven't done much for the last week or so, DH has made his own dinners......... I wonder who made the MESS!

Now he has come home with a huge bandage on his hand. He was helping a friend get rid of a monstrosity water feature....... the claw hammer broke and hit him on the hand, on the "web" between his thumb & forefinger. There's a big hole there now. He went to the medical centre, they cleaned it out and bandaged it up, but he has to wait until Friday to get stitches, because of the swelling.

This is Walking Wounded House.





:-(

Bit drastic, just to get out of cooking his own meals lol

Plod on Scozz, you can do things a little at a time to catch up to your usual standards as you feel better

I made dinner last night, grilled chicken.

DH loves hot & spicy food (I don't like it, or rather ... it doesn't like me!). I made a hot sauce for him.

He really enjoyed it........ until the middle of the night :-( not quite the same reaction as I got with the "clean-out goop" but close :-( , and terrible indigestion & heartburn.

I told him he's getting old, not as tough as he used to be.

And....... the sauce wasn't as hot as usual, because I didn't have any Tabasco sauce!!

Lady S...good to read that you are getting back into
Making meals again <3

The Hot Sauce recipe....... WARNING... IT MIGHT CLEAN YOU OUT


·½ cup Strong Brewed Coffee (espresso)
·1 cup Ketchup/Tomato Sauce
·¾ cup Firmly Packed Soft Brown Sugar
·½ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
·½ cup Finely Chopped Shallots
·½ cup Sweet Red Chili Sauce
·2 cloves Garlic, Grated
·2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
·2 Tablespoons Ground Cummin
·2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
·1 teaspoon Sriracha Or Tabasco Sauce

Stir all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to simmer then reduce the heat to low until flavours meld, about 40 minutes, occasionally stirring the sauce. Cool to room temperature and serve. Will keep for about 2 weeks or more in the refrigerator.
Makes about 2½ cups

I have about 3/4 of a cup in the fridge if anyone wants it :-D

Am no good with hot food or sauces but OH
loves it...yuk. :-)

I'd forgotten about that hot sauce recipe. Believe me, it's HOT. The leftover 3/4 cup got thrown out.



Anyway..........

Phone call this afternoon from the "probe clinic" ........... six months since the last invasion.

Checkup time........... I have an appointment on 21 March.

Geez, awful boring food for a week, horrible drinks, and then EXPLOSIONS.
