Tommie decided lately to try to crock-pot meals. After a long day of working, neither of us feel like cooking when we get home. WELL – I never feel like cooking. I wish I liked to cook, but never have. We have been looking up recipes online to try. The first week of meals, I have not been crazy about. I feel bad, because I’m such a picky eater. Tommie teases me that I don’t like anything that is spicier than mayonnaise. I can’t help what I like and don’t like….I think it’s a bit discouraging for Tommie.
This week will be a new week of trying new recipes. Tommie has downloaded a neat shopping list application for his phone and has been adding ingredients to it as he plans the weeks meals. Tonight he’s putting on some chili for tomorrow. If anyone has any recipes that they have tried and loved, please share them below with us!
Other things going on with me:
Tuesday I go to the hospital and have my needle biopsy on my jaw. I’m NOT looking forward to that. I’m a bit nervous. It will be an ultrasound guided biopsy. I know I will be numbed for it, but I think that they will be giving me a shot IN MY FACE to numb me. Tommie is planning on taking off work that day to go with me. I’m planning on going back to work once it’s done. Since I’m working at home, it won’t matter if half my face is droopy or not. Of coarse, that is my plan, but I won’t know what I’ll feel like until that day. I’m not expecting it too be tooo bad, besides the shot. I need the peace of mind though that the test will give me.
Monday night my Aunt Debbie will come by to buy one of my lenses I had for sale. She got a new DSLR for Christmas! I can’t wait to see the pictures she will take with it! She ended up getting a Canon. I’m wanting to get a new lens for my camera, but can’t decide which one I want. I use the one I have on it now really for everything, but just want another one that will be one I get a lot of use out of. I’ve been really disappointed in my photography lately. I just feel uninspired and not liking my outcomes. I have been doing pretty good since the new year on getting in my picture of the day from http://365project.org/amesjo/365 . I hope I’m able to keep it up. Even though every day’s picture isn’t wonderful, at least it’s getting me taking pictures more. I’d love it if more people I knew were on there doing it with me.
I LOVE my crock pot. One of my favorite tricks is to cook a whole chicken in the crock pot, then I divvy it up and use it in two separate dinners. I have this great little cookbook of crock pot recipes called Crockery Cooking (The Country Friends Collection) and is published by Gooseberry Patch. I’m not sure it’s still in print, but I know for sure that used copies are available on Amazon and Half.com. It’s got real “comfort food” types of recipes for the pallet more suited to milder flavors. 🙂 I’m sure there’s at least one recipe in there you’d like!
Good luck with the biopsy. Sounds like you have lots of support to see you through.
