Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

First, my wife and I got covid in GA in early July at a party of some 24 folks. Who? No idea. We came home and quarantined ourselves and med up. No improvement. Went to dr. Dr tested us, yep got it. Dr said that about 80% who come in and have it are vaxed. Hmmm. We got the med Ivermectin, got rid of it in 6 days with the key being day one was a vast improvement, then slowly better each day. Tested again last week and both negative. Feeling good, but both of us have slight cough in AM due to lingering effect of Long Haul Covid. We read that may take a while.

Second, yes put chick w/ oj up the butt on a pan to avoid the drip mess. Chick was great.

Third, the Lasagna was ok. I was disappointed in my own cooking. But then, I am not a lasagna fan, I think it is too heavy and lacks the flair of a pasta dish.

Fourth, thank you much, yes it was Echoes of Laurel Canyon. Played the Anthology of Mama and Papas over the weekend about 3-4 times and then thought, 3 of the 4 are dead. Looked up Roger McGuinn of Byrds on line. He lived, may still, in Clearwater and would show up and places with a small band and ask if they knew some songs, then ask if he could join in. 79 years old. He testified to Congress that he and the Byrds never earned one dime, beside the initial advance, from royalties for "Turn Turn" or "Mr Tambourine Man". Amazing how many got royally screwed and how many made a fortune.

I hope everybody can stay well and healthy thru this awful pandemic and not get caught up in the whirlwind of misinformation.

 

Tonight we are going to have chicken n’ rice and grilled cheese sandwiches for supper.

I’m sure that we all have had those not so fun or enjoyable days before—this surely falls into this category with ease.

For now, fresh air on the back porch is looked forward to early morning and early evening.

Life is good in Gator Nation!

 

Oven bake some artisan bread, then cover slices of it with chopped up turkey in gravy, with capers.

 

We are in the simple mode right now and the chicken n’ rice was good enough last night that we don’t mind a do-over. Appetites aren’t the best this week so good leftovers makes the choice easy.

Continuing to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine along with the shade and breeze our fans on the back porch provide.

Got the thread restored back to it's proper forum, I see.......

 

Just saw. How are you feeling? Hope Ms. Jan is ok. Keeping you both in thoughts and prayers.

 

shane—

I’m sure any or all of the known sayings to describe how someone feels when going up against this would be more than an effecient descriptive.

“Shot at and missed/chit at and hit” works pretty well.

 

5 pound boneless pork loin that I marinated for 36 hours with olive oil and chicken broth, seasoned with celery salt, garlic salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, Italian seasoning, sage, and Lowrey's. Partially cooked 2 pounds of sliced carrots, 6 good sized red potatoes cut into chunks and a large sweet onion, then put that over and around the pork roast and added more seasoning. Pre-heat the oven to 475, cook uncovered for 20 minutes, then for 40 minutes at 425. Take out of the oven, cover with tinfoil, and let sit for 20 minutes. Slice the pork and enjoy the feast.

 

Ms. Jan is doing the cooking again and the smells coming from the kitchen have been to about starve me to death since noon. She has a beef pot roast in gravy simmering with vidalia onions, carrots, potatoes, and celery.

There also is a pot of yellow squash and onions. Fresh yeast rolls will also be on the side.

Yesterday I went to the hospital and took the Infusion Treatment for the COVID19. Usually I am not subject to side effects of medicine or treatments—so I’m guessing it was my turn. The nurse told me side effects to the infusion treatment were low grade fever, coughing, headache, and dry mouth. I did not have fever.

These kind of days/nights continue to make the fresh air on our back porch appreciated.

Prayers for you and Ms. Jan.
