OMG, that all sounds so good! I have been taking meals to my BFF's mom every other Wednesday and I am definitely going to try the Greek style shrimp with feta and the kalamata olives and couscous. 

The soup was adapted from a recipe in Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything Fast" (I usually tweak his recipes a little. Or a lot). The shrimp dish I just kinda made up. Just chop an onion, cook till translucent, little garlic, some oregano, deglaze with a bit of white wine, throw in a cup or so of couscous, add some stock, cook for five or ten minutes, I had thawed frozen cooked shrimp so just threw that in with the olives and feta, juiced a lemon, let it all cook for a couple minutes more to warm the shrimp through, et voila!

Really, Brenda couldn't find a day off to make a trip to Houston?  She could have come in the morning and left in the afternoon... or come for a weekend.  I don't think she is working 6-7 days a week, she used to serve on him hand and foot before, after all.  Something tells me their relationship isn't as strong as he thinks it is. 

She may not be able to afford the trip.

I might be having a panic attack and I don't know if I can drink my tea now.

Hang on. You're OK and safe. We love you. Try a sip of that tea. You'll be fine.

Same, I've given up on trying to get caught up. What's everyone up to? 

Parenting my adult child while she recovers from surgery. I have been so mean, bringing her only healthy food (jk jk there has been ice cream already). She is an honorary Pounder tonight. Only pulled her hoodie strings tight to block her view ONCE!  Yay!

He's cute! And that is a big mug!

Is that a rubber ducky in your drink?

He is not sounding so 'good'.  Anyone who was really having good progress is usually upbeat and proud, but not him.  But he still managed to lose weight, not quite as much as he should have, but pretty good.

You two are absolutely adorable and should win some kind of Cuteness Prize.

Are you ok? Breathe in deeply through your nose for a count of five; then exhale through your mouth for a count of five. Repeat a few times and see if that helps.

I'm sorry. Panic attacks suck.

Yes, they put a little rubber duck in my drink for some reason...

My man used to be a firefighter and an EMT and he actually has STORIES or being called to move 600 pounders!  He has not idea how interesting that stuff is to me.

I am sending mega good wishes across town (or across the street, who knows?) for your daughter's speedy recovery!

So, Thor is now Patrick.  

After seven years bedbound, he's making a lot of progress. 

He's still making progress.   I hope he's a success story, and there's a follow up.

I'm sure Patrick is a fine physical therapist, but he is not a viking. 

I MUST see this Thor person now.  Definitely watching the first hour later on.

I would like to see an update on him.  Hopefully he will actually be able to stand up.  At least he is continuing to lose weight and improve his ability to work his joints a bit... but sucks that he had to start off such a low baseline.

 

Have a good night and good weekend, everyone.  See you here next week!

@Pepper MostlyI have always loved to cook, but got out of the habit after my mother died. I ate a lot of restaurant take-out and cheap frozen meals for years. The one good thing about the pandemic was that it forced me back into the kitchen to get creative again.

Thor must have run for the hills. 

Decided that humanness is overrated and went back to Asgard more like it...
