Big, Fat Hen

 Monday, I re-baked the hen, and it was more tender, not really tender. Tommy and I had a meal from it on Sunday and Monday. There is leg and thigh still on the bone. I took off the breast meat and have enough for at least three more meals. Tommy took the rest of the meat off the carcass. He probably has enough for five meals. So, we have eaten four meals from it and have enough for 3+5 meals in the future and four from the past. That makes 12 meals from this 6.5 hen. We might get more meals. 

I think the hen or chicken, whatever they called it was old. She probably quit laying, so they butchered her. Okay, maybe not, but I wonder. Tomorrow, I will put in the refrigerator something else to thaw, probably a turkey, turkey breast, or turkey breast roast. I think a roast is a boneless breast. I do have many packages of breasts. I might add a package of thighs for Tommy. 

Monday night, he had a large portion of mixed vegetables and brown meat from leg and thigh, and cranberry sauce. I had breast meat and cranberry sauce and salad. Tuesday night the meat will be on a salad since we have salad that needs eating before it goes to waste. 

My blogger has spell-check on the screen. I don't have to click on anything on the menu to use it. At first, I only noticed it when commenting. Now, I see it here when I type a post. Try it. Deliberately type a word wrong and see how two blue lines are under the misspelled word. 

Click on it and choices for spelling appear. The blue lines appear under each and every word and disappear when you move past that word. Maybe you have already seen it and used it. If this function had to be installed, I must have accidentally installed the function. 

Tommy's toe where he has no toenail looks fine. There was very little blood on the band aid and that was at the base of the nail. 

Monday was a rainy and stormy day early, and miserably dismal all day. I did not step foot from the house. Tommy only went out to the road to get mail.  

Tuesday lunch--we both had a turkey sandwich. Tommy put bbq sauce and mustard on his. I had a halo with mine. 

I received my first Christmas card today, from a blogger. I suppose I should be addressing and sending out mine. Have you sent cards yet? 

Thursday Funk/Nothing Much

Thursday at noon, I saw a hummingbird at the feeder. When the neighbor who takes out the garbage came by at dusk, I rushed as well as I could and asked him if he had a feeder. No, but he sees hummingbirds all the time in his yard. And, he has flowers. 

On Wednesday night, I just did not feel well. So, for that reason or some other, I did not cook the porkchops. We had plenty to eat--leftovers and frozen food. A huge frozen,  baked chicken leg for Tommy and frozen meatballs for me. There were vegetables, but I have forgotten what. 

 I did not sleep much on Wednesday night. I tried to sleep once in the afternoon on Thursday and could not, so I tried the second time. I feel awful all over. I think I know what it is. But is frightens me. So, later. 

Tommy reminded me too late that the Scripps National Spelling Bee was on at 7 pm. So, we had takeout--chicken, grape tomatoes, pasta salad with spinach and Kalamata olives. Later tonight, I will cook porkchops. Or, maybe freeze them in packages for two meals. 

Tonight, I also need to make new nectar and wash the feeders. Friday, we need to move the shepherd's hook once again. I cannot see it from the sofa when the door is open. 

It seems lately that most of my work is at night. Although I emptied the box of cans, now, I need to throw the box out the carport door so Tommy can cut it up for the trash can.
