It's Friday again, and November, already. I've been sitting here at my computer for about 45 minutes and suddenly realized I'm cold. I forgot to turn the heat up upstairs! Usually, I do it (from my phone) when I am making my coffee. First I had a little bit of research to do for my side job. I found the info (an old account number) they are looking for, in one of my saved files on my computer.
Still having to make bland meals for dh. This is hard. We had gone grocery shopping just before he got sick and stocked up on all our usual food, which almost all of it hasn't gotten eaten. We had even gone to Costco and a few things for the freezer, that have gone untouched. I don't know how bland it was, but I used up some chicken/pasta/broccoli stuff that comes frozen in a bag. There was enough left for one meal, so got that used up. Mostly I've been making him scrambled eggs for dinner. But, as of yesterday, I'm down to 2 eggs (he likes 3 scrambled) so I used one egg and made pancakes for dinner last night. I also made up pancakes with the rest of the batter and froze them. I'll give them a try, reheating in the microwave, one of these days.
I don't know what I'm making for dinner tonight. Tomorrow we are going to pick up an order at Walmart. I'm making sure to get lots of eggs (my one lone hen isn't laying now anymore, shorter days of sunlight, I guess). I need to come up with some other "bland" type meals, but I really have no ideas. I tried just baking some chicken (seasoned with a little olive oil and salt and pepper) but he didn't seem to like that much. I thought it was really good. I do have an old recipe I haven't made in awhile, with chicken, rice and mixed veggies, just a casserole style dish. If I can remember to take out some chicken to thaw when I go downstairs next, that would be good for dinner tonight.
All dh's ER visit bills have now been processed by insurance (and now just co-insurance owing). I'll need more detail (they haven't posted the actual EOB yet) as I'm trying to figure out what radiology he had twice...he's got 2 identical bills from an imaging company and the hospital charges are showing 2 large bills for radiology. He only had the one cat scan, as far as I know. I'm sure it's all correct, but I will go over it all to make sure, when I can see all the details. I'm sure the radiology charges are related to the one cat scan but they just break it up into separate charges for whatever was done.
It was snowing a little when I got up yesterday morning and we had deer in the back
A good bland dish is white rice ( you can get it pre-cooked from Aldi, just heat and eat, Walmart will probably sell it as well ) with cooked diced chicken, sweetcorn and peas. Mixed together with a little oil and a tiny pinch of salt.
