You gotta take care of yourself peep!OH LORD Jimmy!! YUMMMY!!
DD wants Cici's tonight. I have been feeling lousy from the heat and health so I really haven't had any interest in cooking for some time now. I'm not going to argue. I'll eat what I can and have some buttered pastina or pastina and eggs (easy on my tummy) later if need be.
I want that Mama... Tina has a great recipe from when I was in the Navy, and she was in the Navy Wives Club. She made a lot of great things like that. I love the hamburger soup she makes with Elbow macaroni's! ummmmm!I made hamburger macaroni soup with mini corn muffins. There's enough leftover for tomorrow night too.
I hope Tina feels better soon. Give my best wishes and a gentle hug.You gotta take care of yourself peep!
Tina is the same way..so lithargic, and gray complextion. Sunken eye's. You could tell she's sick and washed out.
Yesterday, she woke up, and felt a little better..she snuck to ShopRite, and bought all kinds of stuff to make. She figured she would cook. WELL....She got home, and was exhausted. She's sick again. She had a relapse.
I just set up the old fashioned Steam vaporizer near her EZ chair with a tsp. of vicks vaporub in the well. I don't care about the smell in the house. Bull C*ap . She said she can feel the vapors. Sometimes the old home remedy's are the best.
Madone...it smells like a nursing home in here! L O L hahahahahahaha
It's gonna take a lot of garlic cooking to overcome that vicks smell!
What I want to do....is rub her chest with vicks and cover it with flannel under the PJ's>
I can't think of that tea that that Gram used to make us to relieve chest congestion.
Tina said cammomile..but No...that's for indigestion.
OOOHhhhhhh! I know..tea with a shot of anisette. That's it!
Hey! She likes licorice; so she should like anisette. She drinking it anyway! I'll get her better!
We never had CiCi's Pizza etc. There is one by us not too far in Easton,PA or off 80 in East Stroudsburg, PA. Gotta try it sometime!!
peep... You should try cammomile tea! Sip on that. I don't like the flavor, but my Maria loves it. She has stomach distress, and it helps her. Just Suggesting! L O L
I could easily eat 6 or 7 of those ribs, but I only ate 3. I don't want to suffer later, and I'm sipping water like crazy. I never ever drink water, but lately..the foods I eat that I love so much...need a push along the way for me to feel not knotted up and mushcalad!!
Thanks cookingirl...Jimmy, When I get sick, I make a tea out of ginger root. I buy some whole (looks like a hand) peel and slice. make it as strong as you wish. I put it in a small pot with water..boil for a while..It is spicy, strong but when you sip it, you can feel it going down--feels good. Add a bunch of honey..and if you want, you can make a hot toddy out of it by adding some whiskey or brandy!!!
I save the leftover tea in a plastic container in the refrigerator; take out as much as I want, add honey, some water (it seems to strengthen) and nuke it!
It really helps me.
Tell Tina to take care! I was sick for a long time and went thru 3 antibiotics, and 2 complete courses of oral steroids, along with codeine cough syrup before the bronchitis left...
Thanks for the heads up luvs..i'd stick w/ that, jimmy. bronchiodilators, they're stimulant & can make ur ticker race. i was s'possed 2 get an inhalor @ like 19 for microaspirating reflux.
chose the wheezing & gasping for air over that. 1 of the better decisions i've made in my day.
Thanks for the heads up luvs..
I'm gonna rub vicks on her chest, and cover it with flannel to see if that helps while we are waiting and waiting for a Dr's call, or probably a automated machine saying take two aspirins and a cup of tea, and call in the morning on some Sunday in the middle of the week if you don't feel better. L O L
She's got doctors, but they seem to be dragging THEIR feet!anytime, my buddy. lol-ing @ last paragraph. have u got any urgent-care places there..... man, has she remained ill for awhile, now!
She's got doctors, but they seem to be dragging THEIR feet!
This morning it took 20 minutes with two disconnected phone lines at the HRMC hospital to get the fax # that the Dr. in another county didn't have.
Then to make the appointment for Xray...after that 15 minute wait..the woman said, Oh! No need for an appointment...just walk in.
She was right cuz Tina was less than an hour to back home.
She even met DD at the hosp. who is doing her first day of externship in the pharmacy... It was funny seeing her in a long sleeve blouse. Tatoo cover-up. hahahaa
Thanx luvs....good. i'd get her to a upmc doctor if they continue to drag thier feet.
congrats to dd!!!!!!!
i'm trying to get my extern now. thank God many Chefs now search for us younger ppl to run the kitch' & look fer quirkiness- we're strong, quick, trendy, & creative, some of us w/ generally strong mental capabilities to learn & toss thoughts thier way. show 'em a broad variety of capabilities & teach them things unnknown to 'em. for many, the artsier, the better- we can make the plates goin' to the v.i.p.'s beautiful~. i applied earlier @ this 1 place where Chef has full sleeves.
cyn! ugh. prednisone. that made me so puffy. how's cyndy!
