A break in the clouds.

I took Brett to his appointment at the orthopedist. Where the doctor informed us that the tendons at the end of his hamstring were aggravated and a cortisone should fix everything. So he got the shot, and I manage to convince the doctor to at least give him something stronger than an aspirin till the pain goes away.

We then went to see my grandmother only to find out that my mom and dad had brought my nephew up to grandma's while they cleaned out the garage for her. So a simple lunch with my grandma turned into a cluster fuck and Brett and I getting further proof of why we shouldn't leave any kids we have in the future with my mom for any period of time.

We went out to Old Country Buffet and ate well. Then we skittered out to go pick up our meds, they had finally straitened mine out. My dosage gets upped tomorrow. Not looking forward to that. We got home and settled down for the evening. We had pizza for dinner, I got the trash out before it got dark. Yay me! I also managed to get a load of laundry done, and get a much needed shower. Tomorrow It's supposed to start raining again for days, so I'm not going to be able to laundry again for a while.

I have to deal with the company president tomorrow. I managed to avoid having to be at work and dealing with her today, but I have no excuse for tomorrow. Nor can we afford any more days off. *sigh* I think I can pretend to be someone I'm not for 9 hours tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it in the least.

I wish I knew why the president of the company doesn't like me so much. I get along great with the vice president and everyone else that isn't a regular back stabber or can actually keep it all in the toilet when they go to the rest room. Yeah, we have problems with that at work. We know who it is that is doing it, but can't call them out on it. Gross I know.

At least it was nice out today, which made the drive home pleasant. Brett has to walk around with a cane for a little while longer, but eventually everything will right it's self and he can go without it. At least that's what we were told. I hope so, because I hate to see my Brett in pain.

Well I need to get up earlier than normal tomorrow so I can put on makeup. Grr. I want to use makeup when I feel like it, not when I'm being forced to.

Also check out Failblog.org Brett and I were giggling over it today and sending each other failblog videos. It's worth the look see. Laters! Savvy?

My healthy creations series part 1 'Cream of Mushroom Skillet'

I've decided to try to post my food creations on my blog, in case people would like to try to make them. So is born the My Healthy Creations Series. These are made with methods I learned making healthy meals for my mom. My dad was making food from a low fat cook book, and he and I were suffering for it. So we developed ways to make food healthy but also filling. So I'm passing on what I can to all of you. Here it goes.

'Cream of Mushroom Skillet'

You need a deep cooking skillet
A pound of ground beef
A can of low fat cream of mushroom soup
2 bullion cubes or a cup of beef broth
Veggies of your choosing
a small box of pasta of your choosing
2 cups milk.
1/2 cup of Merlot of cooking sherry
1/4 cup chopped onion

Ok, brown the ground beef in the skillet and drain it, then using hot water rinse the meat to get all the grease off of it.
Then return it to the skillet and add the chopped onion and the Merlot/sherry. Season to your liking.
Then add the veggies you want and cook on medium covered, stirring occasionally.
Then when the veggies are mostly cooked, add the pasta, cream of mushroom soup, milk, broth or cubes, if you use the cubes add a cup of water.
Stir together well and continue cooking on medium, this time uncovered, stirring occasionally.
When the soup has boiled down about half way, reduce heat, cover and cook for about 15 min stirring occasionally.
It should be done after the fifteen minutes. But you can cook it uncovered a little longer if you want the soup to cook down more.
After it's done, let it sit 5 minutes, then dig in.

If anyone tries this recipe, let me know what you think. Now my kittehs are saying they want to go to bed. Laters! Savvy?
