Got rid of my big red cast.
(Bulldogs were undefeated in the weeks I wore it, though....cut off Friday and they lose on Saturday....arghhhhh)
Doctor gave me my walking papers...literally. Now I have another month in this boot and transitioning off these crutches. Hopefully back on the job doing office work by the end of next week. I miss the place and my buddies there.
I've seriously missed the grill during this time, too. I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but eating carryout ribs, bbq and other grillables from local joints just doesn't measure up to what I can do at home. Something simple like a cheesburger just isn't the same. You guys know what I mean...you just like to pick out the cuts you want...marinate or prep 'em with your own rubs 'n stuff. Applebee's, Chilis, Poblano's, Zaxbys, Wifesavers and etc just don't measure up.
My wife doesn't cook...least not in the kitchen...so I've simply kept quiet and been grateful for the take-out and delivery stuff. Pretty much settled in on vegtable fried rice and an egg roll as being the favorite....second favorite is a salad from Firehouse Subs.
Went to the store on Friday afternoon....first time in two months.
Got the fixins for a good soup.
Low sodium broth, boneless breast, Johnsonville Italian Sausage, tater'n onyuns, carrots, corn, peppers and cilantro. I seasoned with some Lawry's and Dizzy Dust.
Crock Pot did the rest for most of the day while we watched football.
I was really tempted to cook it with some of Droptine's recomended chili sauce but I put it on the table instead. we had a full bottle before:
You can see how much everyone liked this sauce.
AFTER:
Man oh man that is some tasty stuff.
I shall keep some on hand at all times. I'm wanting to make a southwest style omlet with some of this. I also can buy the whimpy salsa that will satisfy everyone but I can kick it up a notch with my own portion.
As I can stand and carry stuff on my own more and more each day....I can see wings, ribs and other coming from the grill this week.
Now I've got to figure out a way to hunt with this stupid boot on!!!!
