Tommy knew of an urgent care that I had never seen. I went there and got prescription. I took it about 5 pm and now at 10:30 pm, I feel somewhat better. Maybe I am just hopeful.
Dinner of chuck roast, collard greens and banana over chocolate ice cream did help me feel better. I need blueberries now. I am just now sorting the peas.
Today, the day was warm and beautiful. Sunday will be much colder and freezing temps at night. So, a sheet will have to go over plants. I am putting on blackeyed peas. The only prep I need is to find my gloves and red scarf.
My pink mum that changed back and forth from pale pink to pale lavender finally faded to almost white. Now, it is back to a vivid but still pale color. I have never had a mum change colors like that.
While at the urgent care, I asked the np to look at a pressure wound, she obliged me. Tommy is not good at telling me anything looks like. I got this pressure wound from sitting too much. She told me that a ring to sit on made hemorrhoids worse. I don't have hemorrhoids, but the news is good to know just in case.
As I was throwing away the bag from the peas, I saw the nutrients listed. I was shocked to find there were 9 grams of protein in 1/4 cup. Then, I looked on the back and saw there were 24 grams of carbs. Who eats only 1/4 of black eyed peas? I can eat a bowlful for dinner.
Maybe I will cook brown rice to mix with the peas. I love brown rice and black eyed peas with no seasoning of any type, not even salt. I may freeze some of these for New Years in case I don't get around to cooking these again.
I just asked Tommy if he ever ate catsup on his black eyed peas. "Hell NO! That sounds awful!" Well, I have. Have you? Mostly, I eat them plain or with relish.
I’m glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteThanks. So am I.
The only time I eat those things in 1 January as Someone insists we do. It's usually simply cooked with some ham bits.
ReplyDeleteUrspo,
DeleteI had about a cup and a half with a bit of catsup. Nothing else in them. Delish! I am glad he keeps you safe all year by getting you to eat them. Is he from the South?
I have never had black-eyed peas, so I don't know if I'd have them with catsup. I probably would try it since you suggested it, Linda. You've suggested other "interesting' food combinations that turned out to be quite tasty. I have learned to trust your palate. But until someone cooks those peas for me, I won't be having them anytime soon, LOL.
ReplyDeleteSue,
DeleteI did not put a lot of catsup or stir it up. That seems too yucky. The directions are on the package. Just rinse and sort to get out rocks or bad peas. I put mine on low in crock pot all night with three cups of water. Easy peasy.
