ok you should be able to find wide width at 5-1/2 here
I used to shop at globe shoes in paramus nj........ but since we moved to pa 19 years ago......I go the mail order route

Goaties are US

we are helping take the goaties to the show today.
I will be happily up to my elbows in goaties
I can't help much but I surely can get in the way.......
and I intend to get in the way often and thoughly........
some of my favorite goaties are going to this show
and I have to say good bye to little Thaddeaus and also to Austin, the worlds oldest meat goat for vegetarians.
who are going up the road a piece to become lawmowers for a very nice lady.......And live out their lives as pampered pets. they will have the goatie edition of heaven on earth......
huge lawn/pastures to eat and run around in.........all to their selves.....
a snug little barn and a family who will love them as much as I do.
I am supposedly allowed to go and see them......
which you all know I will.

ok I went shopping reluctantly
I got bernie a pair of dockers khaki's a shirt and tie to match........also a second shirt in purple and a tie to match that.
all I can say is.......
damn that man looks GOOD in dress clothes.....
( no he didn't stay in them long at all........ I really mean he looks GOOD)
I finally got shoes......not the ones I wanted......... but they fit and I can wear them.
they were NOT cheap however I could have gotten three pairs of shoes by mail that fit for what I paid for this one pair.
I am a 6-1/2 WW ........... I swear the extra W came from the last pregnancy.
I went from a 5W to a 6-1/2 WW through three pregnancys......
is that FAIR?
Try and get shoes at Payless in THAT size....
but the good news now is..
as I am offically a 6-1/2 WW ( I was measured)
I can eventually get all the shoes I want by mail order...............
so maybe I will get new barn shoes and also walkiing shoes, snow boots, and clogs..
?
lets see..
Fawn has a slight cold.
She sneezed all night.
I gave her the chinese herbs that the vet gave me for the others when they sneeze so she should be fine by tonight.
I am not worried as long as she is eating........ concerned yes..I will watch her, but not worried.
It hasn't slowed her down any either.

ok til next time
vi

Shopping and such

ok so a very fast one
I am off in search of sandals for court
as the mouse pooped in my purple shoes and I don't think mouse poopied on shoes are appropriate to wear do you?

I did clean the mouse poop out however
but there is something ewwwwwwwwww about having had mouse poop in your shoes.....

ok I dropped off the tank I knit as a sample for the yarn store and am knitting a sample for my lace class there.
it is very nice yarn and I have to post pictures etc later.

I am happily in a denim tunic today after nothing but tee shirts because of pt and the hospital
yesterdays pt was not with mengele.......... the pt dejour ( how do you spell that Louise?)
did not stretch me out well at all........nor did she do anything for the knots in the muscles.......and she didn't tape me.......
so really going yesterday was a waste of gas.

I was up for about 20 minutes early this morning just petting fawn........she was on the bed......
so I got her to purr and roll over a bit..... she resents that calpurrnia is sleeping with us as well as her.
wait to we get thaddeaus up there....
oye
I probably will let fawn have one night without calpurrnia up there this week......just to see if I am right about that theory

And Amie, once someone lives here, they pretty much are free to be themselves.
There are rules...... like don't jump on counters in the kitchen
and don't eat doll hands........
oh and NO ONE jumps on amber cause she is 4008 years old
but after that.......
everyone is pretty much left alone to have their own lives
we all sort of co exhist....... we do spend time with each other....but if someone needs space.....there is plenty to be had.
( so to speak as it is a VERY small house)
however the cats do have to tolerate baths, nail trims, ear cleaning, tooth cleaning.........
but we give them cookies after to bribe them
oh and usually take pictures of the bath thing cause it is so damn funny
oye
vi

A word or two about fawn

She is really amazing us.
To think a few short months ago she would cry all night and hide under anything she could......!
Fawn is ALWAYS in motion......
she runs and jumps and plays like no other cat I have ever known.......... Even kittens would be tired out before she is.
She doesn't really like to be held...... so that's ok, we respect that.
She loves to be petted however, and will run around your legs and feet like a goldfish waiting for food.

I watch everyone move through the space of the house and I am struck by how differently they all do that simple thing.

Thaddeaus strolls.... he is king here and he knows it.........
He strolls and favors us with his lordly presence.

Calpurrnia dances & scampers........ She is feminine, she is all that is grace and full Victorian beauty. She reminds me of the Worth ball gowns from the 1890's.

Amber sort of meanders........ think of an old person with a walker.... that is Amber.
But when she was young she hopped like a bunny!

Fawn charges around like a tiny bull in a china shop........she slams into walls and cabinets.... legs and doors..... And is often caught hanging off something like a monkey.

Fawn doesn't really want as much to do with us like when she first decided we were ok, but that is fine, she is free to be herself here. However I do get followed anywhere I go....... it appears she wants to always know exactly where I am.

Actually all three laperms are like that.

Amber doesn't seem to care anymore.......... 'in the house somewheres' appears to be good enough for her now. As long as her food bowl is full.
hahahaha
I really have been most behind on posting pictures I know
and this week frankly doesn't look good for them either.

however the last week in JUNE maybe ok
oye
til next time
vi

I got a 'call back'

now when I had that mammogram on monday I told the tech, that since I had the bilateral lumpectomies........ I would probaby have some scar thingies showing up......
sure enough
I got a call back
I also told them it was nothing
WHY don't they believe me?
I am just LIVING in this body.......
so on wednesday I am again to get squished................
right after pt.....
oh man this is the summer of medieval torture

gees
vi

There should be a constitutional amendment

and it should cover women's dressing room.........
lighting and mirrors.
first off you need a MAGIC mirror in there......
and one that hopefully makes object appear much smaller....... say maybe 150 pounds smaller?????

can anyone guess what I did today? (which really was yesterday when you read this)

yup

clothes shopping.......
ewwwwwwww ranks right up there with do it yourself root canal..........

ok so I have the deposition on Monday and needed something other then the jeans/tee shirts I live in.........
so I girded my loins..................
( that probably should read ..........LOONS)

and Diane from up the hill and I ventured out in my rattled trap van to Allentown to the mall.

did you all know that Lane Bryant stores do NOT have dresses........
all they got is hoochi momma tramp clothes............ewwwwwwwwwww
oh yeah........ that is what I really want to wear........
hang ALL my rolls bumps and grinds out for all the universe to see.....
yeah
right
not in this life
not until I am at my goal weight.............in 100 years.....

all I wanted was a nice 'church' lady type dress..........
in rayon.......
maybe blue?
and two jackets, one short sleeve in a lighter color
one longer sleeved in a darker color!
10 stores later..........
I was ready to cry or at least go postal.........

I did finally get the one dress in the one store that actually FIT me and didn't look like Omar the tent makers clearance rack..........
and I also got a short sleeve cardigan sweater that looks like a jacket, in a lighter color
and a LONGER sleeved cardigan sweater in a DARKER color..........!!!!!!!!
but not in blue.....
in PURPLE
so I am a very happy camper.........
amazingly enough huh?
I was so thrilled that I handed over my plastic and didn't even look at the total.......
desperation set in you see
I suddenly got scared that this magical garment and it's little jacket sweaters would disappear into the poof of smoke and wishes that I was so sure it was.......

leaving me with a muumuu in tropical colors................. and a christmas tree shape......

ok now fast forward as I had typed the above last night..................
to this morning.........

I discovered that the dress and it's little jackets were hanging quietly up in the soap room.......
perfect and pristine in the little plastic clothing bag they wrapped them in.......

I even discovered a pair of purple shoes upstairs......... they match!
so if I can't find the sandals I am looking for....... I have something to put on my feet..
and the mice only ate a tiny part of the shoes which you can't see from the outside
(insert sigh here.......... damn uninvited mouse guests.....)

now I am going to swear..
on my curly cats collective heads............
I will not let the state of my wardrobe get this bad again.............................
I WILL occasionally buy a dress/jacket thingy............... even though I have no place in mind to wear it.
I WILL keep at least TWO business/career outfits in the closet......in classic styles....... at all times.......


I WILL not continuously refer to my body as the Willendorff goddess even though I SOOOOOOOOO do look exactly like that stature of pre-historic fertility.....
( or maybe it was a pre-historic advertizement for their version of CURVES?)

and btw the way while we are at it........
Them damn dressing rooms need artic level air conditioning....... I swear......
fat old broads sweating and trying on clothing is NOT a pretty picture at all....
and I got to see me doing just that in THREE freeken full size, full length, freek house mirrors.

To say I was tramatized was to say the least........

sniff

oye
til next time

vi
who is feeling much better now
if I can ONLY find the sandals I need.........I am good

the laperms are taking over the house

Well, at least Fawn & Thaddeaus are....
Calpurrnia is, as usual, playing happily with a leaf.
Fawn can NOT sit still
Damn I swear that cat has ADD or ADHD, even THADDEAUS sits still more then Fawn does

(shhhhhh and between you and me, with Fawn having blown out a coat, she looks a bit like a monkey,.............. she acts a bit like a monkey.......you should SEE her swinging from one arm on the cat tree........ we actually do now call her 'little monkey')

We've had brutally hot weather here in the North East........ so the airconditioners have been on around the clock on low.. keeps the house cool and dry.

The laperms went from laying around like a bunch of fuzzy area rugs to speeding little bullets of potential landmines.
You have to be really careful walking around here....... THEY are EVERYWHERE......( no don't get the tin foil hats just yet)

I can't walk down the stairs without almost tripping over one of them. EVEN CALPURRNIA has joined in with the 'trip the momma' game.

if I survive the stairs........ there is the racing furry bullet through the ankle obstacle course.

I am getting used to seeing wizzing things out of the corner of my eye...... it is usually one of the cats.

Just walking around this house is now a challenge and enough excersize in NOT falling on your ass that I don't think I would actually need much more do you?

and when the laperms take a break...........
AMBER comes and puts her TAIL under my foot...
then screams when I step down!

WHERE the hell that damn 4008 year old cat comes from sometimes I don't know
I swear every time I watch her walk, it looks like some old person with a walker....
but she manages to zip under my feet all the time.
speedy little old fart that she is......( and yes she does fart......often and loudly....... and normally behind my back.......RIGHT behind my back)

Fawn got a bit bored yesterday, as even the youngsters were sacked out......
she tried to play tag with me.............!
racing back and forth and tapping my shoulder.

poor thing, I could NOT chase her under the bed like she wanted
( well you know I don't exactly FIT under the bed anymore.......... nor could I get off my knees if I got down to LOOK under the bed........ I don't think there is crane service to our upstairs bedroom)

Anyway, Thaddeaus has mostly forgiven me for monday being gone......... Calpurrnia is very happy with her patchouli leaf.
Amber is of course............ sleeping on her pillow...
and that leaves us with FAWN........
who is just now running up and down the stairs just for the sheer joy of motion.....
hahahahaa
they drive me nuts and I would be lost without them

ah........ the FISH you ask???
Ivan and Egor are happy and living on the kitchen counter....................
they come when they see me and live for thier daily meals......
we are going to get them each a LIVE plant, they currently each have a fake plant.
it looks a bit barren in there ........ and we think they will have better water quality inbetween weekly changes with a live plant

til next time
vi

glad that is over

although I got a ton of knitting finished at the hospital.
(I am going back there for christmas, to finish my projects off without interuption)

today I went down and they took the last of the thyroid test.
it took about 10 mintues!
I was back home before 9:15!
the cats were very happy to see me back so soon.
I was happy to be home

I got a ton of annoying odds and ends done today as well.
all the crap like making appointments and following up on insurance stuff that is really a hurry up and wait type thing.
I did not get to pay the mortgage nor the car insurance however I will do that tomorrow

I DID mail a Package to someone............ so that was done too.

I need to get a dress to wear to the court thing monday ( I was told it was not a good idea to wear red and white striped 'raggity ann' type stockings with it.......... damn.......)

sunday we are going to help set up at the goat show....

I can't carry anything but I sure can be in the WAY......
and I intend on being in the way.....
all my beloved goaties

the weather here is hot but down where bernie works it is even hotter....... (maybe a 'dress rehearsal' for where we are going next???? hahahahaha)
he said he is ok however,
I made sure his gallon of iced tea was filled
I worry about him in this weather.....
it is hot and then he is under a hood in an even hotter engine.....
you should see some of the burns he comes home with..........from manifolds and stuff.

Diane is supposed to go with me to Allentown to get a dress for me tomorrow
I have tomorrow or thursday......
that's it
friday is mengele..... who wants to shop after THAT??? I have to drag my battered little carcass home and Ice after that......

saturday is pants for bernie shopping ( oh this should be fun.........NOT)
sunday the goat show and
monday the deposition

I can't wait for tuesday.

meanwhile I found out I simply can't tolerate the heat or extreme cold......
I have been really sick with the heat........ even with the air conditioning...if I am out in the heat for any length of time I get sick.
I really don't like throwing up ewwwwwwwww

even ICE CREAM was not enough to make it better
now that is bad

however the good news is
tomorrow I get to SLEEP IN


sleep?
I vaguely remember sleep........ wasn't it that thing I did LAST friday.......... waiting for bernie to get home from work? with my glasses still on my fat little face?

ok off I toddle
vi

glow in the dark anyone?

ok I am back and totally exhausted.
they did EVERYTHING today.
I also finished knitting the tank for the yarn store at the hosptial and sewed it up, wove in the ends....... just need to do the two rows of trim on the neck and arm holes.
I got 1/2 a lace scarf done too.

I do have to go back tomorrow for the second part of the thryoid uptake but I should be back by 10:30 where upon I will go to sleep and try and make up for last week of night after night of throwing up and the trots..........ewwwwwwwwww

it hasn't been a good week around here.
I have been leaving at 6:30 just about everyday...... which means I get up at 4am...
that and the heat is knocking me out.

I missed my cats terribly today, I was very worried about them.
Even with them home and the airconditioning on...
I worried that maybe we would have a power outage, as we have been having in the last couple weeks.
Thaddeaus was in the 400 crate with a litter box and water..... but still.
(I told him, that if he just stopped jumping on amber he would be allowed to run around like everyone else when I wasn't home)
he is now upstairs in the bedroom on the bed with the girls.
yup yup just like a MALE........
so he is happy now.
( so am I as I want him to sleep with us)

thank goodness for having make them burritos and froze them.................
I am too tired to cook and maybe too tired to even eat
til next time
vi

over the river and through the woods

to newton memorial hosptial we go
ok I will be in nuclear medicine and also xray today and tomorrow
I have a gap of about 4 hours between two tests but not enough to come home ( over an hour drive)
I am bringing two knitting projects.... the tank for the LYS and a lace scarf.
I should also bring a book but I can't carry more then 5 pounds
the cats will be home in the air conditioning
although mr. peabody will be in the BIG crate with a litter box and food/water.
amber will be in the studio
and calpurrnia and her granny fawn in the main house.
bernie is pretty upset he isn't going but that is life
he better make me a good supper tonight
oye
I have thryoid tests, mamography, and I think also a thryoid ultrasound today.
tomorrow is pelvis, vaginal, and thyroid uptake.
after which I come home to recover.
a gallon of icecream outta do it.

wen I need to go and buy a dress for court against the moron.......
then pt
then what?
do I get to sleep at all this week?
til next time
vi

those who go to be squished...

would salute you.......but you know...... gravity did it's thing

ok that was minnie that left that smart ass remark about I know where she is by now
so stop freeking out sallyjo.
it's either minnie, or you or shaggy.
usually it's minnie however

ok I want something sweet to eat......
a bit of a nash......
a doughnut?
not icecream as I am afraid that ANY THING cold will again set off the trots.
and as I don't want to miss all these damn tests cause I am married to the porcelain goddess.......
I am being relatively good.

however I really want something to nash.

the past couple days with the heat problems however did take it's toll.

Bernie made us our sunday morning breakfast, but
I MADE THE EGGS!
we had poached eggs today, so he doesn't know how to poach an egg to perfection......which I of COURSE do..( why no no........... I am not proud, I am a humble sort of person hahahahaha)

Bernie was at Kia school online most of the day and I puttered around the kitchen, doing dishes and watering the violets.
Then I knitted more on the tank for the yarn store, that should be done very shortly, as I am on the last part of the front........... then I stitch it up and do the simple lace binding on the edges....
I should be done tomorrow with it
I am going to do a sort of shawl/scarf thing for the yarn store next, however as I really am wanting this one, I will buy the yarn and after they are done with the display I will take it home.

I am planning on a self fringing piece in that 'broadway' by either trendsetter or reynolds...... I forget which one now. ( ok either this one ...... or maybe this one
I am going to do it in a very simple lace........ semi open, and also I am going to bead it.

After that is another self fringing, only this last one will be in multiple textures of yarn, probably in garter stitch............ and definitely with some metallic in it.

I wish the yarn store had that berroco yarn...... damn what the hell was the name of it....... QUEST??? in the rose gold
that would be perfect for what I had in mind.
they also had a matching one that was a thread with a sort of cocoon of metallic........ also in rose gold.
I am thinking scarlet, ruby, deep purple............... and that rose gold.

I am then going to do some smoke rings for me....... in lace with beads, possibly in cashmere.....
doesn't THAT sound decadent?

I have some socks to finish up...... and then I have some singles to ply......
( for the NON SPINNERS amoungst you.. that means I need to finish my yarn that I spun...... and make it so it doesn't untwist or do nasty things after I knit it)

ok I want a doughnut now.......... some sort of crumb topped cake like thing.........
with cinnamon on it as well.

and I would LOVE coffee...............
oye
vi
hey you all be nice to me.........cause I am going to be radioactive when next we meet and my boobs will have been squished to pancakes................... at this size, that will not be attractive.
ewwwwwww

air conditioning is a beautiful thing

bernie put the air conditioners in today.........
finally!
we realized that it is most likely I had a bit of heat related problems that got me sick the other day and last night
and today poor amber was panting and threw up.
I dunked her in cold well water a couple times and she is now fine, eating, even grooming her self.....
sat on the bookcase to look out the window
had some tuna
needless to say we got all of the air conditioners on.........
and we will keep them on ( on low) throughout the rest of this heat wave.

I found out today that the insurance company in it's infinate wisdom paid for the Orthopedic doctor's bill but denied the physical therapy.......????????????????
so I have to deal with that one on wens.
all that pain AND I have to pay out of pocket???
oye
if it isn't straight by my next appointment........ last week will have been my next appointment
man
ok now
Lets see.........the good news is

I GOT MORE ICE CREAM

what better news than that?

and it is my all time favorite

blueberry and raspberry cheesecake ice cream

yeah!!!!

hahaha

life ain't so bad after all huh?

vi

Mengele is winning

And she has a protege.

I was mangled by a wonderful and sweet young woman named (If I remember right) Ashley.
but don't let her blond hair, blue eyes, skinny body and sweet little face fool you.
she is an iron fisted torturer of the very first degree
after she was through with me, I gathered what was left of my beaten and abused neck and shoulder....... and dragged the dripping pulp to the van.

I have been iceing ever since
and I am in that half way place that only extreme pain can put you in.

ok so I was up puking all night as well as having a run on the OTHER end......
so maybe it is not all their faults
(but they are convinient to blame don't you think?)

I have discovered that occational moans are escaping me, at first I didn't realize that the moans were coming from me.....
I thought that one of the cats had gas......
imagine my surprise!

I fully understand why someone would confess to kissing a goats ass under the threat of further pain of this magnatude......

they ask me
'scale of 1 to 10, with one being no pain and ten.......... being really bad?'

I told them 22 +1/2
damn this really hurts
I was actually cross eyed at one point.

however after I finish icing ( for the 10th time since I dragged my carcass home) I intend to eat icecream
after all with cholesteral of 153....................
I can eat icecream, cheesecake, all butter pound cake........... whipped cream and a CHERRY
vi
who is already fat
so another pound or so won't even be noticed

don't hate me

ok some tests are back.....
my cholesterole is 153
it's been 153 since they started to test me for it......
( doing the happy icecream dance........)
finally ONE thing I can actually THANK my parents for.....
I have to take the cushings 24 hour urine test now however.....
ewwwwwwww
I have to do that over the weekend...........AND I got my period...
double ewwwwwwwwwwww
mengele lengthened my neck for me.......
thank you bella mengele.....
I have now recovered the 1/2 inch of height I lost plus possible 6 more inches......
can you say GIRAFFE???
yes I knew you could
she had my head under her arm.....................and was pulling at the top and bottom of my neck
I am lucky I escaped with my head still attached..........
and
SHE is going to do it again tomorrow
there isn't enough ICE in the universe
lemme tell you

Books and more books

I have been posting at a couple of forums, one is KR and one is a book forum.
the subject of summer reading has come up.
along with book lists.
I read a book called 'little, big' by john crowley about 26 years ago.....
it was a dreamy otherworldly book that has stuck with me.....
perfect for sunny or overcast days in the woods........ deep with mystery and a sense that we are not alone.
unfortunately my copy was rendered unreadable.
I have been looking for yet another copy. ( one which I can actually afford right now)
I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to be transported out of this time and space......
who wants to dwell for a while in the fantasical and supernatural side of their being.

anyway
today being again a 'first day of period' begs to be marked by a good book and a long read.
I am currently reading about the sun king's mistress and also 'the new forest' so off I take me to the sofa
til next time
vi

the potter movie

YES YES I READ ALL THE BOOKS
hahahaha of course I did......... why wouldn't I?

ok so I actually sat through MOST of the movie.....
( hey that is pretty good for me)
I stood for about 1/2 hour brushing calpurrnia....... she didn't enjoy it
what did I think you ask?
pretend to ask ok?
I sort of liked it!
it is dark and more grown up............... bernie and marilyn both hated it.
I liked the fall/autumn spookie sort of feel to the movie
but then again it is hot here right now
when it is cold out I may not like it
I really liked harry having more confidence........ hermine busting malfoy in the mouth......
I didn't like the kids growing up at first....
I hate dumbledoor.
what is up with that light bus?
ok
so that is the best I can do, as I really am not good at watching tv or movies.

supper is stuffed cabbage, and brown rice......in case anyone is hungry

hey I am not obsessed by my freezer............I am a PLANNER
someone said so in black and white so it must be so
vi
the planner

alert the media

I am going to watch tv this morning

do you need smelling salts?


yes but you see it is a very special tv thingie.....
and I hope to actually almost sit through it

it is HARRY POTTER
yes the third movie has made it to cable and I am going to attempt to watch it
Bernie saw it the other night
I didn't realize that was what he was watching.........

so I am going to attempt to watch it
I am turning off the phone

gees you all need to stop fainting......
you are going to get a concussion

vi
thinking about making the popcorn

edited at 10am to add
I know I owe pictures but the battery chargers are giving me a hard time so please be patient

can you spell INSANITY?

yes I knew you all could

so it is 5000 degrees in the shade here
my sunscreen has melted off my face in little white rivelets.............
so what am I doing???
AM I sitting here with an iced tea and a cooling fan?

am I lanquishing in a cool mountain pool surrounded by lush ferns and tall sheltering trees?

am I eatting bon bons in the air conditioning???
(wtf ARE bon bons anyway???)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
of course not
I am
..........................
(you GUESSED IT)

COOKING

Does insanity run in your family you ask.....

(Pretend you asked ok, humor me)

well apparently it does

cause I am making sauce, stuffed peppers,

brown rice/wild rice pilaf

and

chicken breasts

oh and I am washing dishes with boiling hot water for good measure

call the men in the white coats

vi

ps: moron neighbor dropped her kid........now they have 4 or 5

I lost count

man I have to move

And the groundhog says............

another 4 weeks of pt.......
oye
now also the 13 & 14 is the hospital
then I expect my 90 thousand mile warrenty and I will be a happy camper
Then bernie can move jobs if he needs too.
( which would totally suck as he does like where he works...... if they would just freeken pay him)

it is hot
stinking hot
fry an egg hot
stew yourself in your own sweat hot......
ok so you get the drift
ya think it's hot????????????????????????
well do ya?

we have to put in the air conditioners.......
we went from spring to AUGUST.
ok I am so ready for fall

pumpkins
cider......
little wee ghosties....

I had pictures........but my camera batteries went dead.
so I am attempting to recharge them.
this charger is funny, it doesn't always work
but thaddeaus dropped it yet again and I am hoping that the fall will have fixed it...
( one could hope you know)

I have to take more pictures for my soap page, and also for ebay listings
so naturally the camera is in need of batteries
but at least I got the pictures of the peacock
can't down load them
but I got em
ha
so there
til next time

vi

I look like I lost the war & a RECIPE for chicken

I got a mess of a hematoma from the lab stick the other day..... really do NOT have lab work done then go to pt for your shoulders...

dumb, dumb, dumb

gees I swear I am the world's biggest dumb ass

But today I am feeling alot better, as you will see from what I did today.

Ok I have been batter dipping, breading and freezing chicken cutlets.
I have done 35 so far.....
I have 21 to go
that gives me 54 ( yes you did the math right, we are having two for dinner)
which means 27 meals of them in the freezer
( we like breaded chicken breast a lot)
I make my own batter and my own crumbs
the crumbs are 1 part shredded wheat & bran, and 2 parts cornbread.
then I add some herbs and a few spices......
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I have to tell you it is VERY GOOD.
really, very good.
and also pretty high in fiber too.
I cut all the fat off the breasts, and lightly dust them with flour, then dip in the batter then the crumbs.
I freeze them on wax paper on trays, then put them in freezer bags.
I cook them from the frozen state at 350 degrees until done.....I think it takes about 20-30 minutes.
( don't say I didn't tell you how to do this ok, it is really good)
no I don't have amounts.......
sorry I don't have actual written recipes

I have to do the last 21 tomorrow and then do the stuffed peppers, I will have three meals of them in the freezer then.
I will of course also make tomato sauce. I probably should make a casserole of baked ziti to freeze as well.
hmmmmmm
we'll see if the ricotta is still ok.

lets see............ in other news.
this coming week I am pretty light on appointments I think.......
but after that I got daily stuff and also classes to teach.
I am going to try and take pictures of the tank I am knitting for the Local yarn store.
I also am taking pictures of my soaps and toiletries ( to show packaging) for a webpage for my toiletries business.
I have to take pictures of my dollhouse miniatures for a page for them....
oye
tomorrow is the orthopedic doctor at the crack of dawn....... then I will be home to cook
Unless he decides to twist me into a pretzel.

I imagine the post about that will be pretty funny.........
