It was gross since I dislike lamb! I wonder if I have eaten eggplant and don't know it...lol. <br /><br />I know Chaldea and Chaldeans, but did not know Chaldeans were a people in the US. Interesting. Oh, did not know they were Catholic. So, I learned something tonight. <br />Only lately have my hands hurt, and then it is more like a mild ache when I have overused them. That must be annoying to have hands that don't work early.<br /><br />That is a lot of bone loss. I doubt I am my original height, but the bone loss is not so much. That is a very expensive medication. I am glad you got some help with the cost. I am going to look this up. Thanks for that info.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-71852838390805688772022-05-19T22:15:08.526-07:002022-05-19T22:15:08.526-07:00Personally I adore eggplant.

My husband and son say they don't care for it but to tell you the truth the have absolutely no idea how often they eat it!<br />This evening I made a chicken tortilla casserole. This is one of the items that we never end up tossing out the last serving of. I boiled 6 chicken legs and when they were done I removed the meat and returned the bones skin and trimmings back to the pan along with the onion, celery and carrots. I didn't peel the carrots and the celery was the last of a nice bunch . I also tossed in some parsley, stems and all. ( I did add a generous spoon-full of granulated chicken bullion) I let that boil a couple of hours. Now I have a couple of jars of beautiful golden chicken broth!<br /><br />I can purchase fresh baba ghanoush at my local market. This store has an interesting mix of a Mexican / Chaldean clients. My city has the next highest concentration of Chaldean citizens, next only to Detroit. The Chaldean people are Catholics from Iraq. Originally Babylon. <br />I saw my PA yesterday who froze a few more "skin tags" off of my body. He also prescribed a new time release medication that hopefully will lessen my morning pain. My arthritis causes my hands to be next to useless in the morning. As the day progresses there is a lot of improvement. <br /><br />I was able to finally qualify for a financial assistance grant to cover the last 3 months of my EVENITY monthly injections, Evenity is the only medication (at this time) that can help regrow bone! I have severe Osteoporosis and have been told that my spine will not accept screws or other mechanics to stabilize my spine's bone loss. At one time I was 5'9 3/4" and now I measure 5'6" I only have 3 months left in the 1 year program This medication is insanely expensive and with out assistance I would not be able to benefit from it. <br />From on line <br />"How much does the drug Evenity cost?<br />Given as a once-monthly therapy, Evenity comes with a list price of $1,825 per dose, or $21,900 for a year."<br /><br /><br />Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024512934812657769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-81040966089135852592022-05-19T03:45:49.378-07:002022-05-19T03:45:49.378-07:00kylie,

I never thought of zucchini but theres no reason why it wouldn't work. <br />Our dinner plan is pasta carbonara made by my other son. It's almost dinner time and he hasn't started, nor has he taken up my offer to swap places on the roster. It could be a long night :)kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-23004076672533960352022-05-18T21:21:06.577-07:002022-05-18T21:21:06.577-07:00I hope you are not getting ill.

And, I have wondered how many were not counted since the new variation does not make some people very sick.<br />Those meats sound delicious. Hope you get your meat marathon done, too.<br />That is cute about those little boys. Maybe you should have let your son stand out there and point out flowers not to be mowed. Then, he could pay for it too. I could not have given them so little money.

I took my temperature about an hour after my shower and it was up to 100 degrees. I don't take that hot of showers and an hour had gone by. I took a couple of Tylenols and thought what the heck is happening with me now. I felt kind of sickly, so I ended up having a can of Beefaroni for dinner, believe it or not that is a sickness comfort food for me, weird, huh. I had two popsickles for dessert. Maybe I was hoping to be eight years old again. My husband had a frozen dinner. I have a big spiral ham that needs to be cooked, and country pork ribs to cook, and some nice chicken thighs that I wanted to oven bbq. <br />I found some store made macaroni salad from the nearby Shop n Save grocery store that is really good. I had forgotten all about macaroni salad. It's been so long since I had any. I was so busy cleaning house last week because my daughter, son in law,and our grand kids were coming over, and then I had to pick up stuff all over again because our son was going to be here a few days after my daughter was, because he was on leave before leaving for The Netherlands. It is so hard to believe how cluttered me and my husband can make a house in just to or three days time. I wish that I could say that wild monkeys sneak into our house and fling things everywhere, but I can't, because it is only my husband and I here. Here lately we have gotten so messy plus absent minded, we are constantly misplacing things and having to search for stuff several times a week. I think it was just because we were so busy last week and are not used to packing so much into our days. At any rate, my big spiral slice ham, the country pork ribs, and chicken thighs are waiting to get cooked. I was going to fix the ham when everybody came over one day, but then the rest of the family wanted to to get together and visit our son, so we all went to a restaurant, because my house is not big enough for so many. <br /><br />Hopefully I won't start running a sickish fever in the afternoon again. I don't know what is causing it. I thought about going to one of those urgent care places near our house but the assistant I spoke to on the phone said they have been really busy this week, plus they are starting to see a lot of covid cases again. I decided I didn't want to go there if there were a lot of covid cases going in. If I get sicker I will try to go to my regular doctor who doesn't see Covid cases in his office. In just our county, there were over 300 more covid cases this week than last week reported. Imagine how many haven't yet been reported. <br /><br />I hope that you can get someone to mow your yard. My husband didn't get a chance to finish the whole front yard last week, and when our son was here he answered a knock at the front door and there were two young boys with their lawn mower asking if they could mow our lawn for $15. Tommy (our son) just couldn't hardly stand to tell them no, but I explained to him that I have so many flowers and plants that I would have to point out to them not to cut down, it would take forever, plus places in our yard were so high, I don't think<br />their lawn mower would have made it through. Finally he told the kids no. He then turned around to me and said Mom, I'll pay for it<br />for you. I told him that I was worried the tall grass might mess up their lawn mower and ruin it. I am surprised he didn't just give the kids some money for not mowing the grass.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-14855716615363707802022-05-18T18:36:02.757-07:002022-05-18T18:36:02.757-07:00I have not seen many good deals on meat lately.

It makes me very happy when I can stock up when the prices are good. Like you, I am tired this evening, I will just find something easy.
