Jay hasn't left yet, but will on Tuesday. He will leave for Fort Stewart in Ga and will deploy for Iraq from there. The longer he is stateside the better. Thanks for your prayers.
I know that nothing beats having your family stateside but Timmy is deployed to Iraq right now and he tells us it is quiet lately. His accommodations are also like a luxury hotel in comparison to what they were on his last tour. Neither of my nephews are known for sharing the dark details of their deployments with their Mom or me but it really sounds like things are better now. Prayers for Jay daily!
I thought of your homecoming last night
I do! He is doing well but we really need to get him to a forever home.
I am working late so dinner will be whatever I find. I'm feeling a little better but just completely dragging. There is a lot of "activity" here at work right now and I think my mind is just processing things. Tomorrow is my iron infusion
so I should feel better in a week or two. I hope!
He is so darn cute! I wish I could take a dog but my poor kitties would never adjust at this time in their lives.
You take it easy! You work way too hard!
I wanted to catch up but you know who just started fussing...
Well, my hairdresser was not there...maybe I had the wrong date but the whole place was closed!
That stinks! Now I'm thinking of Ellen
What kind of phone did you get? I'm still not great at using my IPhone. The aide Dawn just got one & she was asking what new things I learned on it. Well I was trying to redial to vote over & over for Chris on AI last night & SHE ended up having to help me! It's so sad
It is the Verizon version of the Blackberry Storm. I hate it! Yesterday Buddy called to see why I had called him. Ummmm, I did not call. Well, I did. I must "cheekdial" because apparently you can call one number while you are talking to another. I have called the lawnmower service, Buddy and several of the men who help us in the summer all the while talkign to someone else!
Last week one of my cousins (yes, I was taken to task all day last Tuesday) told me that I needed to keep up with technology, all I needed was to look at teh directions and it would be easy. I showed her my phone and asked her for a lesson. Ummm.....not just me is inept........
Afternoon all! We actually saw the sun today. We had some more awful rain last night. Looks like we are going from monsoon to oven though. 90 degree weather in the forecast for tomorrow. Did I miss Spring?
I don't know if you all missed Spring but I think you sent your rain our way. It is pouring and thundering right now and is supposed to do this all day! You keep sending your weather our way so Spring is hiding in our area too.
I spoke to my MIL a little while ago & tomorrow morning she takes all her results to the Pulmonologist.
for good news!
Becky (or anyone else who wants to take a stab at this) - Katie fell in love with Cornish pasties while we were in England last year. I've tried to make them, but regular pie pastry is not "hardy" enough. Have you had any experience with these? Any tips or ideas?
I have never had one of these but I wonder if the pastry from a Jamaican beef patty would work. It is a sturdy pastry but somehow is light and flakeyish at the same time.
Now that Kyles baseball season is officially over I can tell yall whats happened.
This just makes me mad!
Dinner is going to be a pizza meatloaf, mashed potatoes and some sort of veggie. We had the beef caserole adn green beans last night.
Bethany- Bulgar is man's oldest recorded use of wheat. Bulgur is made by soaking and cooking the whole wheat kernel, drying it and then removing part of the bran and cracking the remaining kernel into small pieces.
Its uses are numerous from salads to soup, from breads to desserts. It is a nutritious extender and thickener for meat dishes and soups. Bulgur will absorb twice its volume in water and can be used in place of rice in any recipe.
Bulgur is convenient since it can be either soaked in water or cooked to be edible
I really don;t know what it si exactly, I buy Bob's Red Mill Bulgar and use it in everything. You really need to let it absorb whatever liquid you are using but it makes a great cold ssalad, a nice side adn is wonderful in casseroles or under chili. It is wicked good for you
