We had fish tacos Wednesday night. First time I had made them...not our favorite. If not for the cilantro/lime sauce they would have been a total flop. The good thing is that I made homemade coleslaw to go with our fish tacos. Although we had fish last night, I am going to make a tuna noodle casserole tonight (Thursday) and use the leftover coleslaw in it. Less pasta (only making 1/2 of usual pasta), more vegetables. I am going to make regular tuna noodle casserole with no dressing then put the coleslaw in and see if I need anymore mayo,...

This picture is of my recipe book I made up with all my info for my "special" diet. Do you think I can find it? NOPE. I know most of the actual recipes, but I had lots of handwritten cards with notes on them for special things that I did, or worked better for certain substitutions. Our diet here is a little crazy. I don't do gluten, acids (fruits or vinegars), processed foods, etc etc etc. Tim has to get in the special diet too with his lactose intolerance (no dairy). I can do most vegetables (peas are a no...too...
Hard Start

If I have to wear a face mask, I want it to be fun. Bright, colorful, FUN. I started out wearing a bandana, but it was too confining. This is a picture of my 3 favorite masks. A childhood friend made these for me when all of this first started. I traded her honey for them (love bartering!). She wasn't charging me anything, I just wanted her to know how much I appreciated her effort. The paw print pattern is my favorite. I carry it with me everywhere! The other 2 are my backup masks, for when I am washing...

So, for a change today I got great news! Tim had a dentist appt. and I haven't been to a dentist in 14 years...so he made an appt. for me to go along today. Poor Timmy had to have a tooth pulled. I got a full set of x-rays, a cleaning, and neither the hygienist or the doc could find anything wrong with my teeth! WOO HOO! They couldn't believe that I don't even use fluoride. I haven't used fluoride toothpaste in about 10 years, and we have well water here so no water treatments. My Dad was 70 when...
Another Favorite Memory
Posted by Tammy Chapman on
Sharing another favorite photo today. My Barn. It has collapsed now, but this is how I will always remember my barn. I am not going to post much today. The feeling has come back in my left hand finally, and the dizziness is better, but the migraine continues. It has been a week now since symptoms of the TIA's started and I am exhausted. Computer hurts my eyes, as does phone. I feel done for the day already. Nap time! As Always: Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, Stay Sane! Enjoy your weekend!
