Might want to check out your supply of meals in the freezer for days
you don't feel like cooking.

Been there, done that. And my S-I-L seems to have made me a "project",
Last night she sent my brother over with a casserole dish filoled with
penne and meatballs in a marinara and 4 slices of home-baked garlic bread.

I downed a fourth of it and the rest went into the fridge. I won't need

Title: N.Y.T.'s Sourdough Starter
Categories: Five, Breads, Fruits
Yield: 2 servings

16 oz Flour
3 oz Pineapple juice
10 oz Filtered or spring water

MAKE SEED CULTURE: Combine 1 ounce of the flour and 2
ounces pineapple juice in a large glass or small
nonreactive bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and
leave at room temperature, stirring with a wet spoon
twice a day. Bubbles should appear after 24 to 36 hours.
After 48 hours, add 1 ounce flour and remaining
pineapple juice, stirring to incorporate. Re-cover with
plastic wrap and leave at room temperature, stirring
with a wet spoon twice a day. When it is foamy, in 1 to
4 days, combine 2 ounces flour and 1 ounce filtered or
spring water in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add seed
culture, stirring to incorporate, and re-cover with
plastic wrap. Stir twice a day to aerate.

When mixture has doubled in bulk, in 1 to 2 days,
convert it into a starter: Combine 12 ounces flour and 9
ounces filtered or spring water in bowl. Add 4 ounces of
seed culture mixture (discard the rest, or use to make a
second starter) and mix until fully incorporated.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2
minutes. It should have the consistency of bread dough.
Transfer to a nonreactive bowl and let rest at room
temperature until it doubles in size, about 4 to 8
hours. Knead lightly, then store in container with
tight-fitting lid (container must be large enough to let
starter triple in bulk).

Store in refrigerator.

TIP: Every 5 to 10 days the starter will need to be fed
with more flour and water. Follow the directions in step
2 above, substituting starter for seed culture.

Hi Dave,

Agreed. There's a Tanger Outlet mall in the same area; we've stopped a
few times but it's not a regular destination for us.

Which sent me to the Bing search engine. Now I'm confused on a higher plane as to whether "Tanger" is folggin its own merch or is a
developer offering strip mall space for others to peddle their trash.

Appears to be the latter. Some of our favorite stores ( a kitchen wares
one, Corning ware, Wilson leather goods) have folded over the years with
no replacements so we've not been to the outlet is a few years.

in April, just down to buttons and button holes. I've been doing small amounts of hand wash dishes and laundry but leaving the major dish
doing and meal prep for Steve. Latter has been a lot of eating out of
our freezer.

IIRC, it started about halfway thru (I had about 35 treatments--Monday

until near the end. Your milage may vary. They may tatoo some

Nice to have family close by to take care of you. We were in Savannah,
nearest family (in laws) were in Florida but not able to do any sort of
care. Church and work (Army) families were a help tho, Army was very co-operative about Steve taking time to take care of me. We timed my
radiation treatments to fit in the time frame he had free after PT but
before the work day started. He'd come home from PT, get cleaned up and
have breakfast, then take me for treatments, take me home and be at his
job at the time he was supposed to start.

We hasd their "Daddy" for a while, after his divorce he slept on the

Hi Dave,

freezer, have had a few "what's this?" moments with things in the

now. And then they can have the mutts. I'll miss Jasper, though.

I miss having a dog but neighbors have them so we can get our fuzz
therapy. Our daughter Rachel has 2 dogs, both adopted last year. Calvin Drooledge is an extremely shy golden retriever; most of the time he
hides in his cage but Steve enticed him out a few times with treats.
Moose is a black lab, still in his enthusiastic puppyhood, doesn't like
to stay still long enough for much petting.

Very much so! Attendant at the rest area was a young man, probably a
summer hire, who did fill out an incident report but otherwise didn't do
much of anything. Steve pulled out the first aid kit from the truck to
put temporary patches on until we got to the ER.

Of the three Jaspermis a pit bull mix who is more likely to lick you to
death than bite you. Isobel was gotten as a just weaned puppy - of a new
to me breed - blue-tick beagle. She can be a sweetheart bust has the most annoying bark... which is how we know the battery in the bark collar is discharged and needs plugged-in. And Eva, the middle dog, is a Heinz who Stephan rescued from her owner who was severely abusing her. When the guy objected Stephan "trearted" him to a dose of his own medicine. She's very
shy and hesitant around humans ... but a real sweetie pie.

When the chirrun get a new forever home for their fur kids I'm going to
hit an ASPCA adoption event and let a kitten adopt me. I'm nore of a cat
person than a dog person anyway.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Risotto for Chemo Patients
Categories: Poultry, Rice, Vegetables, Cheese, Wine
Yield: 2 Servings

3 c Chicken broth
1/2 c Dry white wine
1 c Arborio rice; raw
1 md Onion; peeled; diced fine
2 tb Olive oil
2 tb Butter
1/4 c Parmesan cheese; grated
Salt & pepper

Creamy rice dish - comforting and delicious

Put the chicken or vegetable broth into a pot and heat
on the stove until boiling, then reduce to a simmer.

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add olive oil and 1 tbsp.
butter, heating until butter foams. Add onions and saute
over medium heat until translucent (but not brown). Add
rice, stirring to coat grains with oil. Cook, stirring
with a wooden spoon (a metal spoon might break up the
rice grains too much) until the rice turns translucent.
Reduce heat to low.

Add the white wine, and continue to stir until the wine
is absorbed. Add the hot chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a
time. Stir, allowing each 1/2 cup stock to be absorbed
by the rice before the next one is added. This part of
the process can take 15-20 minutes.

After all the liquid has been added, and the risotto has
become creamy (it should be chewy but fully cooked),
remove pan from heat. Add remaining tablespoon butter
and Parmesan cheese, then salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.

Makes 2 portions.

VARIATIONS: Add a handful of thawed frozen peas during
the last 5 minutes of cooking. Sauté mushrooms with
onions. Top the dish with sliced poached chicken. Add
fresh herbs at the end like chives, parsley, dill,
chervil, tarragon and basil + a little lemon zest.
