Good morning.

I am nicely recovering from the horrid food-poisoning episode. I slept so much - every time I sat down, I fell asleep. I didn't know I could sleep that much. With a horrifying dream of missing Mikan's insulin time :rolleyes:
Although eating dry toast isn't my idea of a fun breakfast, I'm grateful that I am feeling well enough to eat something.
Mikan cooperated by staying yellow and high blue flat all day yesterday. Now I am ready for some action, Mikan!

Happy Memorial Day! :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Hi Kit, I’m so happy to hear that you are feeling a lot better. Sounds like it’s a very slow process but at least you’re seeing signs of progress. I’m sorry you had to go through all that.
I’m very glad that Mikan cooperated so you could rest ❤️

Hope you have a good day today and feel better every day. Happy Memorial Day:bighug::bighug::bighug:

Thanks Staci,
At last I am feeling hungry! :woot: It feels so wonderful to be hungry :smuggrin: The question is, my DH slow-cooked some short ribs - can we eat that thing tonight? We shall see.
It was nasty stuff, but I knew it would be short-lived. But the body aches were the worst. I just couldn't get comfortable.
Now we are ready for Mikan action and she is coming down! Hopefully, she'll give me some greens today!
Happy Memorial Day! :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
I'm the weirdo who actually likes dry toast. I mean, I also love it with butter (or peanut better and some chocolate chips, because why not lol), but sometimes I just wanna munch on some dry toast. :joyful:

Maybe play the short ribs by ear? Test out just a little, and if you feel okay, eat some more? I'd hate if short ribs were ruined because you went all in too soon. :bighug:

Hahaha, it's funny that you like dry toast! You are well prepared for any occasion, Alicia!
I am feeling pretty good today - just finished planting tomatoes (2 regulars, 2 minis). I think I can go for short ribs. But I think I am not going to make mashed potatoes. Even though they are the best with short ribs, I probably should not eat something with a lot of butter and sour cream (that's how I like it!) :p. Instead, I'll make corn rice (cook rice with shaved kernels and corncobs altogether). Oh, shoot, I put butter in it too. Oh well. If I'm eating short ribs, a bit of butter won't kill me, right?

Mikan's having a nice cycle. She waited for me to fell better:) Hope you and Kitcat are having a great day!

Kit, that sounds really good. I’ve never had corn rice. How do you cook it?

It's super easy. I get those corn that's already cleaned. Just shave off all kernels and put them. Put them and cores into washed rice (2 cups) with the usual amount of water, plus, 3TBSP white wine, 2 TBSP butter, 1tsp chicken (or vegetarian) bouillon powder (more if you want stronger flavor) all into the rice cooker. Turn it on and that's it. You can put salt and pepper, ginger, garlic powder, anything you like too. Viola!

EDIT: Of course, take the cores out :smuggrin: It's just for flavoring up. And best if you can stir rice well when it's done. ;)

I will give it a try. It sounds yummy. (Where has this been all my life?)
I don’t have a ricer. Can I just use a pot?
And thanks!
 
Hello Kit and Mikan!

I'm sorry I missed you being sick but also I'm happy to hear you're feeling better today. Hope those ribs and corn rice (which sounds delicious) will help to get you back on track.
Looks like Mikan decided to give you a break again today. I feel kike she might be busy tomorrow to make up for those last few days.
Wishing you a happy memorial day and relaxing night

Hi Karolina,
Thank you for your kind words.
It was quite an ordeal - but I'm bouncing back nicely. I feel so much better this morning :) I totally am back on track ;)
Hope you and the boys had a great weekend! :bighug::bighug::bighug:
