Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I wonder why.  Yeesh. Painkillers that inflict more pain.

-> Not fun at all. Not an allergic reaction but suppose I ought to mention
-> it if a doctor wants to perscribe it in the future.

 RH> You could say....  I had my eyes dialated the other day to make sure
 RH> my MS drugs weren't screwing with things.  Apparently not, but I'm
 RH> allergic or at least sensitive to drugs ending in 'caine' so I get the
 RH> full burning
 RH> sensation from that stuff.

No fun at all. Worse than smoke getting in your eyes.


-> -> bread cubes that went to mush once they got wet.

->  RH> I've had that stuff.  No thanks.

-> That's what I think too. But, when you're a kid, you can't argue with
-> your folks about food if you want to eat. I tried, early on, telling
-> them I hated peanut butter, but they paid no attention so I had to
-> endure it more years than I care to think about. At least now I don't
-> have to eat it and I can make my stuffing/dressing out of whatever I
-> want.

 RH> These days I just try to either vote on the stuffing or make it when
 RH> practical.  Problem solved.

If we're cooking for ourselves, I'll make the stuffing (dressing if
Steve smokes the bird). If someone else does the bird, I'll accept
whatever they do for stuffing/dressing.

->  RH> The sorrel juice on the other hand was unremittingly nasty the one
->  RH> time I tried it.

-> Doesn't even sound appealing so probably wouldn't have even tried it.

 RH> I tried it because it was handy and I'd never had any.  It's grouped
 RH> with chrystanthemum tea - worth trying once, but not paying for twice.

I doubt I'd have ever tried it. Steve forgot to take the coffee K-cup
out of the machine this morning so I got a weak coffee water in my
teacup (mug with teabag in bottom). That got tossed, ran a clean water
cycle and then put in a pod of chai tea. Much better!!

-> -> lots of others on the shelf as well. Steve just got a Keurig coffee
-> -> maker and ordered a number of coffee & tea samplers to try.

->  RH> Good idea.  They make hot chocolate too, but not the sugarfree
->  RH> version.

-> I know (sigh).

 RH> Cocoa powder.  Milk.  Nuke?

Almond milk and a packet or 2 of stevia will make it friendlier for me.

(eggs)
->  RH> if doused in hot sauce.
 RH> ->
-> Mix them with grits and lots of cheese too.

 RH> The cheese might not work all that well early on either. Thai peanut
 RH> sauce works, but you'd hate it.

I'll use some salsa instead, if I don't do the cheesey grits thing. Both
ways are good, just depends on if I want my carbs as toast or grits.


->  RH> Easier to keep you off oxygen than off the sewing machine?  Yep.

-> Except when I'm sick, yes. (G)

 RH> I'm kind of headed that way, some days.  Any old craft/art project in
 RH> a storm.  My church office asked for some hand made cards, so I dug
 RH> about two dozen out of my stash.  That ought to keep them busy for a
 RH> while.

And, I've got the clearance to use a rotary cutter again. Good thing,
the baby shower I need to do the flip & sew blanket for is November 2. I
think I'll start cutting tomorrow, which means I'll probably start
sewing on Saturday. I've got to run the seam in the trousers I'm
altering for Steve first, promised I'd have them done by week's end.
