so this is pretty much me today..and the past few days.
bernie's got this now-.......well he is fighting it off now..... he of course didn't get anywhere near as ill as i was.
everything i do, i get the cold clammy sweats, i get super weak and have to sit for a while.....
he's still doing wood,
he told me YOU DON"T BRING THE WOOD IN

ok

believe me i can agree with that one

so today is the start of another marathon cooking session...but it'll have to be slowly done over a few days
this batch is as follows


  1. roasted chicken with leeks sauce
  2. tomato sauce
  3. baked ziti
  4. beef stew
  5. potatoe with leek soup
  6. chicken enchiladas (from the roasted chicken)
  7. split pea soup (just for me as he hates it)
  8. beef pot pies
  9. chicken and dumplins
i am working on it all starting in a few minutes

i will roast the chicken, while that is roasting i'll do the veggies for everything else, and start the sauce.
i'll make the seasoned flour for the beef as well
and roast the potatoes tonight for not only our dinner but for the potato soup
tomorrow i'll make the ziti
the soup
and start browning the beef in the flour mix
sunday i'll shred up the chicken for the enchiladas and i'm going to add some really finely minced veggies to that too
and so on......

i love cooking this way, not only for us for the week but also for us for the freezer
i just hope my strength holds out

the doctor said this was viral......and checked me also for pneumonia
i can tell you that i feel like a damn zombie......the walking dead
only they don't have to cough as much

  1. ty so much vicki, how you folks? bernie got this plague and mutated it and gave it to at least 3 guys at his job.....i'm getting better but it's really slow....and since we're due a bad cold snap, i needed to make sure i got a lot of cooking ahead done, in case transformers went due to cold and we had no stove

  2. We are ok. It is cold off and on for Texas, but not nearly as cold as you are. We are predicted to have slush/snow Thur. night or Fri. My husband had a wart cut out of his thumb, and it took about a week for it to quit bleeding when he tried to do anything, like button his shirt. And now he needs a root canal. But those are normal kinds of issues, and part of life. Not fun, but it won't land him in the hospital, so I am grateful for our problems to be small ones. Feel better.
