Traveling mercies, Eric.
Missing Susan, Val and Freya.
Supper tonight as brisket, slaw, potato salad and roasted okra and green beans with the usual tossed green salad ith the neighbors. Cooler temps allowed for a fire in the Chimenea and we even made 'smores with the children. Sat around and talked until just a bit ago...if I can't see and hear the ocean then fire is next....lovely evening!
-
Eric, I bet you'll never be happier to see the second most crowded and depressing airport than you will tomorrow (Hartsfield...but not bad as LaGuardia). Welcome home!
-
Wonderful food pix! I'm impressed with your ability to know safe wild mushrooms, Sherry. That bolognese looks delish, but I would not be able to stay out of the ER if I went foraging to procure my ingredients!
Minus, what a nice dinner surprise!
And Eric, safe travels. I bet there are smiling faces in Arizona now!
Following is reunion “summary". Skip as you wish!!
DH's reunion was really delightful! Can't say that I always enjoyed them in the earlier years, when I felt annoyed with all the not so subtle competition and power jockeying of these business folks who were busy climbing in their careers. Now most folks are retired and way more mellow, which I found much more palatable. Also interesting was that I learned that four of the eight women (mostly spouses of DH's friends) have had bc, and most are still on meds. I envied them for not having many SEs. They were all doing well.
. This was a widely national and international group, so as one might imagine, there were many conversations (generated by both men and women) about the distress people feel about the politics in our country. The Australian folks were particularly outraged and critical. I wasn't sure what to expect in that setting, so it was interesting (and a relief) to discover what I did.Friday evening we had a lovely dinner at a local posh country club. I had to skip many of the passed apps due to my allergies,(including some rather large, I thought, lobster rolls with celery in them!) so was pleased when dinner was served. After a lovely salad with romaine, a creamy dressing with feta and apples, they had plated service with something for everyone(!) on each plate.....salmon with a tarragon cream sauce, filet mignon, duchess potatoes and a bundle of veggies tied like twigs. Way too much good food even for hungry me! Dessert was baked alaska which I haven't had in years.
Saturday, I attended a class offering about how to deal with your aging parents....I went as the aging parent! Figured I could pass the tips along to my sons. Interestingly, most of the class was also my advanced age and was excellent and alarming (to be expected, I suppose). April, I envy you for taking the bull by the horns with this downsizing task. DH and I got a little nudge about that from this class. Hopefully it will motivate us. But it does seem overwhelming! And yes, Minus, our kids want nothing from our house. NYT has featured a good article about that trend.
Yesterday's lunch was a lovely spicy sliced chicken breast over greens, and we opted for berries for dessert. After lunch we toured several of the galleries in the Harvard Art Museums. Serendipitously, the wife of one of DH's friends is an art historian and she delighted us with her knowledge about so many artists' paintings, sculptures, and glass work of medieval through early 20th century art. We were all enthralled! In fact, DH and I might join a Smithsonian tour next May in Italy for which she will be the art guide.
Last night the reunion gala was at the Museum of Fine Artsin a beautiful room with rich burgundy wallpaper and striking paintings. On one wall there were numerous stunningly large silver pieces displayed. A pic taken of DH and me features one of the pieces appearing to be growing out of DH's ears! Ha!! It was a great spot to enjoy a lovely meal. Dinner was buffet style with both cod and salmon options, chicken, beef and many, many vegetables and salad. Dessert was trays of small cookies: special filled almond macaroons, cream cheese dolloped brownies, tiny cups of berries, etc., etc.
Brunch this morning at the Charles Hotel (Hvd. sq) was pretty ordinary, and not choice laden, but fine. I was still full from last night so that was totally okay with me. After eating and saying goodbye to our friends, we shopped at the Farmer's market that popped up in front of hotel while we were having breakfast. Our favorite farm that always carries pea tendrils was among the vendors, so I was delighted! And now we know why that vendor no longer comes to our town where our Farmer's market is also on Sundays. There are way more buyers in Hvd Sq!
So tonight we ate salad since we felt like stuffed piglets from all those meals!
A few pix are below...only one of food since I didn't feel comfortable dragging my phone out to photograph my dinner plates!
A Harvard Yard building in full fall decor.
Some desserts from Museum dinner
DH and me, with him growing silver out of the sides of his head! This might need to be skipped for the holiday letter. LOL
Minus, I ended up buying a new pair of black slacks and a lovely tea length flowy black skirt to wear with tops I already had.
-
Lacey - love the top you're wearing in the picture. And great about the silver "viking horns" surrounding DH's head. Almost looks like curls, but don't tell him I said so.
-
Lacey, love the pictures and everything about your post, it is like reading an article in a magazine, so well composed.
Cherry
-
Haha, Minus....they do look like curls. We've already had a good laugh about the shot! DH is well able to laugh at himself, so I will def share that observation!
The blouse is a fave that has been too big for the past two years, so my recent weight gain provided a renewed opportunity. Not sure I should be happy about that....but I do love the blouse. Unnoticeable here, but it has golden threads in it and beads at bottom, so it is a good warm dressy option.BTW, everyone, thanks for the shared joy re: my unremarkable mammo results. I had been unusually worried this year, so was really feeling relieved to dodge that bullet.
Cherry, I'm glad you enjoyed my overly long missive.
Joyce, glad your trip went well. interesting that you cook more in your vacay house. I do just the opposite. Cook lots here and less so at the lake...maybe b/c we're out of the house more there. As you mention the size of your NH home, it occurs to me that with the difficulty we are having starting to face downsizing with a similar sized house, what will these young folks who are building the 5 to 7 thousand sq ft sized homes ever do?! Maybe we oldies should start a consulting/advising practice to help those families take a look into their future. 😏
Speaking of that, April, I was really happy to spot your post since I missed “seeing you" when I returned. Good luck with your move! Keep us update, please.....
-
Fuel stop in Melbourne, FL..waiting for the truck.
Out processing later today in Atlanta and home tomorrow.
-
Done with out processing. Hot shower (all but a tiny few have been scalding or 60F degrees) is dine Next is good food, followed by laundry.
My uniforms could be extras in "The Walking Dead". 3 uniforms, but just two bucket washes in 3 weeks...
Since it's no longer an active site.. here is where I was at. It had not yet opened when we got there. With what we had and what they had, we got it open enough to be a pre and post op for the general hospital's orthopedic surgery unit located next door. Patients would stay here until about 24 hours before surgery and about 12 hours post op, they would come back
We slept in the ground floor infusion center. I guess I now have a second memory for an infusion center.
-
eric, I did not really understood how you ended up in Puerto Rico, I know you were there as a part of a rescue mission (?) but who has organized this deployment? Is it US government or were you send there as a volonteer by some non-profit organization? Sorry, missed this part, just curious, because reading your posts the situation is critical.
Dinner tonight, mackerel au naturel, baked in oven just with salt and boiled potatoes to it with some olive and tomatoes, cucumber, onion, bell pepper salad as a side. Very simple, requires 20 min in time expediture, because otherwise I am very busy being on sick leave. Mackerel is truly delicious and contains all this healthy fish fat but it does stink over the whole appartment.
-
It is a paid position with the US government's Department of Health and Human Services.
I'm on what is called a Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT). Most people on the team are doctors, nurses and emergency medical technicians,, but several support personnel are also on the team. I'm one of the support personnel. I set up and maintain the 2 way radio, satellite, and computer medical records systems. I also help ensure sufficient medical supplies are available for the team's medical staff.
http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/responders/ndms/ndms-teams/Pages/default.aspx
Everyone on the team (there many teams) has their normal job and we do this only when called up. When this happens, we become federal government employees. The law requires our employers to allow us to leave and return to our normal employment without any penalities.
-
Wow, Eric....bet you could photograph those uniforms standing on their own power! That element of such a deployment would result in my being sent to a derm or psych ward. My skin is so sensitive, I would be crazed wearing ripe clothes! Interesting that your rest was in the infusion area. Glad you are finally on your way. Be safe and saver your reunion with home! Again, thank you!
We just learned that our DS and DDIL are now raising money to transport a huge pile of donated boxes with medical supplies (that are being stored in their garage) to PR. One plane was already sent and their friend/colleague who spearheaded this effort is now working in some remote villages on the island that she and the group have managed to access. But getting these next supplies shipped is another challenge. A tiny piece of such a huge undertaking by so many folks to begin helping that ravaged island....by our gov., and also by so many private groups and citizens.
Last evening we attended a small local fundraiser for our state rep. Since it was held at a neighborhood pizza restaurant, our dinner was pieces of really good pizza and “plainish" salad. I have to say, we enjoyed being able to sample a variety of pizza flavors there.....margherita, sausage and mushroom, fig/prosciutto with balsamic drizzle, etc.
Tonight is the official start of NBA basketball season!!! We are psyched! And I am gradually working thru my grief of losing my fave player via trade to Detroit.
Anyway, the Celtics face the Cavs and DH thinks we need to have a special dinner to celebrate it. He is food obsessed! Since we had excellent pizza last night, we have to come up with another idea....I'm thinking maybe warm lobster rolls with butter? And a healthy salad given our greens filled fridge! Feels loyal to the Boston tradition for the Cs (who will probably not win tonight, but will improve as the 11 new players get used to playing together!). After tonight I will be starting to make soups, despite our warming up temps...I think it will be good for weight management.
-
eric, ok I see, thank you for explanation, great work you are doing there.
-
After a nearly 5-hr drive to Iowa City (traffic, construction, but much less than last year) I checked into my hotel for the folk music conference. Walked next door to a brand new sushi bar and got hamachi sashimi, a trio of roes (salmon, smelt, flying fish) on rice (forgot what that kind of sushi is called) and a hefty portion of squid salad. Brought it up to my room with a glass of Domaine Chandon—to celebrate the Cubs staying alive and avoiding the humiliation of being swept at home. And as of midnight, Bob’s birthday. (My cue to phone home to him). Early morning and late night tomorrow—but such is the nature of music conferences
-
Joyeck- would you mind sharing your meatloaf recipe. Weather is perfect for one and low cal would be great!
-
Joyce - brilliant, oats instead of bread. Thanks.
-
Not a happy night for Cubs fans. So far, anyway. 9-1 Dodgers.
Dh and I have both been sick with hay fever/sinus miseries. I am taking a steroid pak that is working wonders for restoring me to health. DH had a steroid shot but isn't bouncing back as fast.
Tonight's dinner was supposed to be pork tenderloin in some delicious preparation but instead it rests in the refrigerator waiting for tomorrow night. We had warmed up beef, veggie, noodle soup that dh cooked before the rag weed pollen brought him down. With the soup, grilled cheese sandwiches.
We have had a few days of pleasant weather with lower humidity. It will be nice to welcome some temperatures that bring to mind chili and oven dishes. Maybe by the end of October.
-
Joyce, ah ha....so now I see how FL would be a better place for you to enjoy cooking time! Hope you are having less humid weather now. Our weather has been a string of those perfect Fall days....sunny, dry, and 70ish all week. Not sure when we will see any rain yet.
Sorry about the Cubbies...DDIL2 will be sad about that, too. I sometimes see folks complain (yet some must love) about the idea of a Yankees/Dodger world series. At least Houston/Dodgers would not have such long distance travel and time change factors.
Also, Carole, sorry to hear that you and DH are struggling with allergy/sinus miseries. Do you get frosts there? That’s when folks here experience relief from hay fever.
On the basketball front, (I know you are eager for this!;) after we enjoyed our season opener celebratory dinner of clam chowder and warm lobster rolls with lemon butter (CT style) on brioche rolls and a salad, we sadly witnessed the leg fracture and gruesome ankle dislocation of Gordon Hayward (a star player just acquired by the Celtics) early in the game. So, the celebrating was over...but we finished a sparkly wine and then ate some Boston Cream Pie to drown our sorrows. He is basically out for the season....poor guy.
Yesterday I joined some former colleagues for lunch at Cheesecake Factory and had their chopped salad...and of course too much of their brown bread.
For dinner we used up the remaining lobster meat in a Maine (think mayo) lobster roll, and had a caprese salad on the side, to which I decided to add some pea tendrils. It was good.
Tonight we saw a musical, Fun Home, at the Boston Opera House. We ate at a place near the theatre, Back Deck, that is efficient and has a varied menu of choices, appealing to many tastes these days. We both had a saffron grilled chicken kebob and basic greens salad. DH also had a nice bowl of butternut squash soup. Before the show, we had a tour of the Opera House which has an interesting history of owners and rather recent restoration. I liked hearing about that since a father of one of the kids I worked with did a lot of the decorative plastering there which is so beautiful.
Tomorrow I am attending a social wk conference so will have a baked chicken lunch with salad and rice pilaf. Have had that same menu for years! Carole, I hate to admit, I am living up to being a restaurant queen.
-
Thinking of cooking up more chicken and making burritos with it for tonight
-
I am exploring a site a friend recommended, it is called www.seriouseats.com. Today we had leftovers of Chicken Scarpariella (Shoemaker’s chicken) with a mash of rutabaga, potatoes, parsnip and onions that slowly cooked in the milk and water with beet root salad as a side. Turned out good. Next week I will try Chicken Paprikash. Tomorrow it will be rostbeef with some kind of potatoes. Have a nice weekend everybody
-
Cherry, Serious Eats is one of my favorites! Many of the things I cook regularly come from there. Kenji is my idol lol.
Oh Lacey, lobster rolls and Boston cream pie - be still my heart!
Finally got the results from my endoscopy. Chronic inflammation of the lower stomach.- two biopsied tiny spots were negative for pylori and e coli. Off of the omeprozole and now on protonix. (Maybe I'll be able to drink coffee again one day. ) The stomach is actually much better already and my appetite is returning. Hopefully not so much as to regain the 15 pounds I lost.
Carole, I too am suffering from severe allergy issues. I'm allergic to mold and in this rural area, it's harvest season. Mold spores from the corn and beans are rampant and I'm miserable, especially my eyes. This in spite of 3 different allergy meds. My mo just prescribed singulair, so we'll see how this does. So far, I can breathe but I'm still teary. I too am on a steroid pack to clear up an itchy rash on my eyelids. Don't know what that's about, but it's been driving me to distraction. I think the steroids are stimulating my appetite too. I've been sitting here dreaming about cake.
Had a nice visit with dad last weekend. He is doing so well in the nursing home and he is actually content there. He told us more than once that they are taking good care of him and that it was a first rate operation. (He has not complained to me once since he's been there.) This is so comforting to me. When I visit the staff seem to dote on him and always tell me what a sweetheart he is. Dad has put on weight that he had lost and is healthier than he's been in some time. What a relief not to worry about him so much.
Tonight is going to be burgers on the grill and onion rings. I haven't made onion rings in quite some time and have not really had a taste for fried food at all. I may put together some cole slaw to try to add some healthy aspect to this meal.
Now about that cake . . .
-
auntinance, I really like when a recipe comes with a story and is well-composed, chicken with cabbage and bacon was another one I will tr
-
Tonight is an individual pizza, made on naan, with organic portabellas, organic chicken w/spinach sausage, chopped organic tomatoes and mozzarella, prepared by and being baked by DH as I write. Just a few minutes until dinner!
-
pizza for dinner here, too. Pizza itself isn't special (frozen) but cooking method is.
I bought hubby a pizza oven that goes in the new gas grill we bought in March before my dx. He has wanted to try I out but there was always a reason we couldn't.
I start rads on Monday. So we made a point to make time for the pizza oven test tonight.
The oven heats up in the grill to 700-800 degrees. The pizzas cooked in about 7 mins. The crust is crunchy, just like I like. So tonight we are enjoying pizza and will be watching the Astros/Yankees game to see who we play in the World Series. Gotta enjoy the good moments that appear during this cancer regime
-
I had to google Boston cream pie, yam, I love everything with custard. It is not sold where I live but I found a recipe online and will try to bake it with my younger daughter. Not today though, she is going to a birthday party that is taking place at some children kitchen class where they will bake cupcakes and then eat those.
-
Neither of us wanted to cook last night, so dinner was store bought precooked rotisserie chicken.
Today is laundry (my uniforms NEEDED it) and repacking my gear for the next time. People that have been home a couple of weeks are getting orders to go back out again, so soon may "soon".
I woke up my sourdough starter from a very cold refrigerator so I could feed it and it's now bubbling away. Maybe tomorrow I'll make some bread with it.
We need to go to REI to get a couple of parts for a ski car roof rack that we bought right before I left.
On the way home, we'll stop at the grocery store and get something to cook. Like me, Sharon doesn't have much desire to cook for one and we are both anxious to get back to cooking. We have been asking each other what we would like to cook tonight and neither of us has had any ideas, so it will be something unplanned. :-)
October 31 is my retirement day at Verizon. It's amazing how that worked out. I had planned a different day, but then I got deployed to Puerto Rico and moved the date to the next allowable date, which was October 31. October 31, 1983 was the day Mickey's doctor brought us into his office, gave us "the talk" and recommended hospice. Like the deployment giving me a better memory of infusion centers, retiring on that day will give me a better memory of Halloween.
-
Eric, glad you have another more positive reframe for your cancer related experiences. Retirement congrats! And hope you have a chance to rest a bit before being deployed again.
Nance, I am so happy to hear that your dad is content in his care setting. You have been through so much with his health and related transitions this past year. And I hope you continue to feel relief from that stomach pain. I guess the weight loss is a nice secondary gain, but no fun for sure. I am actually not a Boston Cream Pie fan, but bought this becasue it was a mini one for just the two of us. It was totally delish....I think because the cake part was extremely light. I may have to try one again....tho probably not since I am determined to focus on losing between 7 and 10lbs. Need to get myself back to my previous gym routine. It really does work! 😉 I’ve gotten lazy and paid the price.
Yesterday, as I expected, My lunch was chicken piccata (mediocre college kitchen variety since that was the venue) and salad at the conference, but they also had an interesting addition to the buffet table....a huge roasted winter squash, from which diners scooped out their own servings. I think it had some butter melted into it. Really delicious! Last night, I was too tired to start planning to cook, so DH offered to make guacamole, which we had with tortilla chips and a caprese salad I made.
Tonight, DH grilled a pork tenderloin that he had bought and marinated in my absence yesterday (thinking we might have it for dinner...oops!). So, by tonight it was well marinated. I made some mashed butternut squash that had been hanging around here for a few weeks. I always add a bit of maple syrup to that...and made one of my big salads dressed with balsamic and a bit of olive oil. It felt like one of our typical winter meals, despite the fact that winter seems quite far away with these warm temps.
Posting dinner since I love everyone else’s pix....so am encouraging more! DH loves to eat his pork a bit pink, (the joke here is, that growing up he swam in the Hackensack River....read: gross pollution level...so he tolerates any bacteria), but I stick to the well done pieces for my tender system.
-
I like my roasted pork a bit pink, too, after growing up on over-cooked pork. Last night's pork tenderloin was sliced into medallions and cooked in a lemony sauce and served with delish mashed potatoes. I realized as I watched a New Orleans cooking show chef make grits and grillards that the pork medallion dish I call pork piccata is a version of grillards.
Tonight was meat loaf and pasta with cheese sauce casserole. Or hot dish! Dh had better get well soon or these comfort foods will do us in.
My, does lobster roll sound wonderful. Also Boston cream pie.
I will probably make chicken and sausage gumbo tomorrow. And bake a batch of wheat buns. I have all the ingredients for the gumbo except the okra. I may omit it and make chicken and sausage stew instead. By Monday the weather is supposed to be a bit cooler. Eventually we will have chili weather!
Glad your dad is content with his situation, Nance. My mother is doing well, too. We had no luck at bingo again today.
-
I agree about liking pork slightly pink, but I have a hard time changing all the years of conditioning & my Mother saying we would get trichinosis. (yup - I had to look up the spelling). The page for pork roast in my old Better Homes cook book has at least 10 yellow stick notes about varying time & temperature. Case in point - tonight I roasted a 2lb pork loin - 6+" in diameter & 8+" long (yes some of my notes have cooking time by the physical size). Why haven't I kept better "final results" instead of just what I tried? Anyway, I took it out at what I thought was the perfect doneness (24 min/lb at 350), sliced into the middle, and it looked a bit too pink. I put it back in the oven for 10 more minutes. Shame on me. It would have been perfect at my original time when left to sit for 5 minutes on the cupboard. Oh well, it was not horribly dry and will be great for pork sandwiches & to add to a brandy cream sauce over noodles later this week. Guess I'll stick to tenderloins in the future. I so miss pork roasts with all that wonderful fat. Funny since when I was a kid we hated it & cut off succulent meat with the fat.
Lacey - have you heard anything from Susan? I sent an email awhile ago but haven't heard back. I want your lobster rolls - either with butter or mayo. Nance - I too am glad to hear your Dad has adjusted & is content. Hope your gut problems are soon over. Carole - we actually had a "spell of winter" last week. Down to 75 degrees, LOL. Glad to hear your Mom is still doing OK. I'm sure Special & Joyce are still waiting for cooler weather too. Eric - chuckling that you didn't take the uniforms to the laundromat so they wouldn't stop up the system. Hard to believe you're going to retire. Sharon will still be teaching, right? How's the DD doing in her 2nd year of college?
Thanks everyone else for the food notes.
-
Wow, checking in again and still healthy! A record this year! LOL. And considering both my DD2 and DGD1 have strep and I spent 2 days with them, really good. LOL
After a day at Bookworm Gardens with them both, we ate Thai for lunch. I had a Massusman chicken curry, daughter had Pad Thai. DGD had a bit if Pad Thai , Spring roll, Rice soup and Chicken Satay, both lunches with eggroll and soup. All for $6.99 each. LOL After I went home, I so wanted to nap. So I put my feet up and closed my eyes. Just then the doorbell rang. My out of town sister popped in and wanted to meet my other sister at work. So off I went again. 45 min later we were waiting for her in the parking lot looking for a restaurant. Guess what they wanted? LOL. Chinese. LOL. So off we go to Harvey Moys. I had a chicken with pineapple, peppers and onions in a coconut sauce. Delish. DS1 had sesame chicken, DS3 (Id be DS2, the middle sis) had another chicken dish. Everything was wonderful. And Mr.Moy came out to introduce himself. No wonder this restaurant is rated so highly. And, though I dont have pictures of any of the food, I have some of the gardens.
Oh, and one of the weddings I went to was on Friday the 13th with the same theme. Ill post the wedding cake. So here goes.
