"No news is good news"is a false statement.
Today, I went to a lab to have tests done for two doctors. Seven vials of blood later and a trip to Cullman, I am feeling much worse. Pardon the TMI, but my urine for the sample was brown. I am so worried!
The doctor on Saturday sent off a sample for a culture, but it was not picked up until Monday, so Friday before I hear. The sample sent off for culture today will not be back until Monday. Other than the emergency room, I have no idea what to do.
I made chicken sandwiches for the trip and carried water, oj, pb crackers. We left at 8 and arrived back here before 3 pm. So, we spent nothing eating out. Tommy always tells me how good the sandwiches are. He tells me more than once and with enthusiasm.
While in town I found broccoli crowns for $0.99/lb. I bought $4.49 worth. Now, I have to figure out where to get the energy to even get them in the refrigerator, much less washed and cooked. Usually, broccoli crowns are $1.69/lb. or even more than that.
Tonight, we will have potato-broccoli soup with cheese and bacon, cooked in chicken broth. Thankfully, Tommy was enthusiastic. Otherwise, he could make a pb sandwich. He said he would peel potatoes after Jeopardy.
8-pack hamburger buns 2 @ $0.50 = $1.00
broccoli $0.99/lb $4.49
2 storage containers @ $1.00= $2.00
Hormel Roast Beef in can $4.39 I love this stuff.
Total spent before tax is $10.36. This should be all we spend for the week unless he needs to go buy milk for himself.
What do you usually pay for broccoli crowns?

Antibiotics can turn urine brown, also being dehydrated. WE have one store here...have to buy whole broccoli with stalk. You area lucky.
ReplyDeleteTewshooz,
DeleteThanks. I will check and see if this one does. Most of the time, we have to buy the whole stalk or pay a fortune for crowns. We are going back another day before the ad goes off, so I will get more. The soup--potato, broccoli, cheese soup is delicious. I will put the bacon in for tomorrow night. I do think I am lucky to have so many choices of stores. It makes it easy to cherry pick each week.
Broccoli here is usually not lower than $4.99 / kilo , at that price it used to cost me about $5 per meal for my family of six. These days there are only three of us but broccoli is very hard to get because of extreme weather conditions. I don't know how much it is, more than I can pay, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you feel better soon
kylie,
DeleteThat is expensive broccoli! Of course, this price is imported from somewhere else. I don't think the climate is right now for the growing of broccoli here except in a greenhouse. If I could get a response from the doctor's nurse, I might get better. Thanks.
I agree with Tewshooz of the reason for brown year. The soup sound great
