What are you eating right now.

Home made pumpkin soup with chives.....and warm crusty bread with ice cold pure juice to wash it all down.

I hear ya ! I’m semi retired and wonder how I got all this shit done when I was working full midnight to eight shifts and 15-20 hours OT a week and sleeping about 4-5 hours a day for 15 years .
Cooking, cleaning, yard work, shopping , dropping a daughter here, picking someone up there, fixing the myriad of broken stuff around the house , taking care of the dog , laundry , doctors appointments etc…..etc….
My wife shattered every bone in her ankle , dislocated it, and broke the smaller leg bone last September . Was non weight bearing for just about 3 months and could barely walk the next three. In her second round of PTnow and doing better but I’ve taken on and am down from 100% of what she took care of to about 75% of the things she used to do still .
I finished up my cardiac rehab in August after a widowmaker and two stents and a week later she shattered her ankle.
Seems like one thing after another🙄 but I’m thankful the two incidents didn’t happen simultaneously.
Haven’t been behind the kit since last July 😔. But hey , we’re both on the mend and I honestly always say and get through by saying,…… it could always be worse and others DO have it worse . Gotta keep moving forward !
Should be back to playing by August or September. 🙌🏼

dude...totally hera ya!!! I run about the same schedule right now, with the same amount of life shenanigans too!! I might get a break to grill here in 2 weeks...and I will DEFINITELY be grilling some tuna steaks, burgers and chicken!!!

Glad to hear things are getting better for your heart situation, snd your wife's foot. I went through the heart thing 8 years ago...not a widow maker, but more like a wake up call

such tradition!!!! Cornbread is like a drug to me. With partially melted butter?

You folks are eatin' fancy! lol

I just had a bowl of generic honey nut cheerios with cherries, blueberries, and strawberries with almond milk.

@Xstr8edgtnrdrmrX and other cornbread lovers - do you like yours with sugar, or without?

I use my TN family recipe, which is just corn meal, buttermilk, an egg, baking powder and a bit of salt, cooked in a cast iron skillet. No sugar at all. When I taste cornbread with any sweetness, I think, "Hmmm, this would be a good muffin!"

so, I definitely prefer mine to not be overly sweet, but living in Ohio, I probably have never had cornbread without added sugar. 99% of the time, people up here just use the Jiffy mix from a box.

you might need to send me the recipe for what you use!!!

I'm Mexican on one side of the family and hillbilly on the other, so I had all kinds of cornbread depending on whose family we were visiting. Now I gladly eat whatever the missus puts in front of me.

I basically eat my grandmother's buttermilk cornbread, but it adapts well to a southwestern version. *She* would never have eaten it, but I like it. Lol

I was just sharing recipes and found these pics of goodies I make in cast iron - aebleskivers, cornbread, and sourdough rolls. 😁

Leftovers of yesterday’s Father’s Day bbq feast….
Teriyaki garlic and lime juice chicken kabobs with bell peppers, zucchini and onion. Tortellini salad, macaroni salad . Excuses the well done shriveled up hotdog. One of my daughters wanted one and she’ll only eat them well done .

IMG_3521.jpegIMG_3495.jpeg

Yesterday for about two dozen people was the aforementioned kabobs and salads , a big garden salad, 4 big sausage pinwheels
( sweet and cheese and parsley) , two dozen hamburgers, two dozen hotdogs, carrot cake, cheese cake, carvel fudgie the whale cake, watermelon and numerous libations.
Coffee with Bailey’s to cap off a great day !
A bit cool and grey out but the rain held off until almost sunset when everyone was clearing out . Started about 2 pm .
Daughters gifted me a ticket to see my Steelers beat the Jets with one of my daughters , her boyfriend , her closest friend and her father for week #1.
All in all a pretty great day 🙌🏼

They even printed up a mock ticket to go in the card they gave me along with some lottery tickets.
Love, love, …..LOVE my three daughters !
