The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

.  One day I spoke to the lady with the cat in depth about it, and I asked her how she is able to stab her cat many times a day.  She said her cat just seems to know it is going to make him feel better and lets her do it.  I thought then that she must be a miracle worker because my cat would murder my face. Haha. 

 

 

We had an 18 year old cat named Thor who eventually required subcutaneous saline every few days. This meant holding her on my lap --keeping her still while J inserted the needle and then we (all 3 )sat there calmly for 10 minutes or so while she was hydrating.

I thought, she'll never stay still for that. She was our wild child who roamed 7 acres all day and only came in at night to sleep on J's head. lol 

or sit on my shoulder when I read in bed. She turned the pages for me.(true story!)

 

Anyway, we figured out the less nervous we were about it, the anxious she was about it. This was going to save her life. so...we did it.

It became routine and never a struggle as long as we approached her with calm and spoke soothingly and sat still with her.

 

Our animals sense our anxiety, fear, sadness and joy. I don't care what anyone says to the contrary.

 

 

Dinner tonight will be decided after I go to the meat market, but I assure you all, as soon as this 30 day trial is over, I'm eating a freakin pizza.

Poor Mui has never minded shots. He's always good at the vet, was fine for getting blood drawn by them and letting them stab a needle straight into his bladder. He doesn't care if someone grabs his neck and stabs him with a needle. He just does not. like. his. ears. touched. Although admittedly, I do think my husband was being a little bit teensy bit nervous. Me, the one who may break out in hives from touching the beast was all fine, calm and straightforward business. Frankly though, even though I stayed perfectly calm and was fine with it, one of my least favorite things is being at the business end of a cat with claws and stabbing it. It pretty much sounds like a suicide wish. :lol:

 

I'm glad your kitty wasn't a spaz when it counted. My husband's Mui is just a little psychotic.

 

I'm going to have to figure out dinner. I have to work today and my husband texted me a while ago to tell me he is incredibly sick so I imagine he won't be eating with me. I may just get a dish of enchiladas out of the freezer which will be meals for 2 days. He can have soup and tea and keep at least 3 feet away from me at all times. :ph34r:

Even though I am a newbie, and I hate to just jump in to long established threads like this one, I'm going to post my menu for tonight since it's the first true meal of my new year (I've been living on plain chicken, boiled rice and oatmeal since early Dec.)

 

Anyhow; Triple Apple Threat Pork Chops, home made Rice pilaf and steamed Broc & Cauli 

Can't wait, my tastebuds won't know what hit em' !

Tonight, even though I can't stop thinking about the best pizza ever I ate yesterday and am tempted to go pick up another one.... haha... I am making red beans and rice.  I make the beans in a crock pot (half recipe/half sized crock pot)  via this recipe:  http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/02/slow-cooker-red-beans-rice.html  just no sausage today.  I make either red beans, black beans, or black eyed peas like this about once a week.  Yay Fiber.

So, either I drank too much of the aplle brandy while cooking or the recipe just wasn't as good as it sounded, was kinda bland. I'll have to give this one another spin sometime and tweak it, ALOT!

Now, what to make tonight,hmmm....

my interwebs have miraculously repaired themselves?  so, no eye candy to-day  ;)  my husband says "NOBODY gets a little fridge magnet with the repair guys cell phone # on it"  LOLZ sometimes i wonder if he pays these guys to be extra nice to me to keep my giant ego intact  <_<

 

last night, i made ground lamb kabobs - dee lishioussssssnessss - served with flatbread, tzakiki <(sp) (cucumber/garlic/yogurt sauce) tomato, lettuce, kalamatas, feta.

Apparently glaring at a sick husband does not provide adequate protection from illness. <_< On a bright note though, the library texted me today to let me know that it's my turn to borrow Fahrenheit 451 which is one of my favorite ever books. So I went and picked it up to keep me busy for the weekend. I'm not coughing too much yet so hopefully I didn't infect anyone. :ph34r:

 

I had a grilled ham and cheese as something like a late lunch or early dinner. Not really sure which. Then later this evening I snacked on pepperonis, mozzarella and Breton crackers. Cooking is really high on my list of things I'm not doing right now.

Adalaide Mentor

I really feel like fresh bread, but have mildly less energy than I estimate a half dead sloth does. So I'm just going to throw together a pan of flatbread, maybe with some rosemary or something in it. If I can find any further ambition I'll have something with my flatbread. If not, maybe I'll just open a jar of spaghetti sauce for dipping or a can of roasted tomatoes to make a quick sauce from.

we are having venison stew.  i am throwing things in a pot - so far, i have:

BACON  <yeah!

onion

Don't those tomatoes cause histamine symptoms for you?  (if not, mazeltov!). They would make me burst into flames.

 

Bunless burgers with sauteed onions, sweet potato fries, gluten-free beer for the hubs.

 

We like watching the playoffs and this is football food

Shhhh..... I was thinking a small amount, which won't be so bad. Especially if I don't do something stupid like get out that block of parm to shave some off on my bread.

So we had spaghetti for dinner, gluten free of course. I was pleasantly surprised by the pasta. Bionature organic gluten free, made from rice, potato and soy. Smothered of course with my own homemade sauce. At least I won't have to suffer when it comes to spaghetti !!

:)  Glad to hear you had a good meal.  It sounds like you got lucky finding a pasta brand you like on the first try! Definitely do not have to miss out on pasta.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.
    • Scott Adams
      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.  
    • pdm1981
      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.
