Just rotelli Macaroni with the sauce and meatballs I made yesterday.

A salad.... Amazingly... NO BREAD!!! LOL

And Entenmans doughnuts soon for dessert.

OOPs...forgot! Tina bought me a McDonalds Big Breakfast this morning. W shared it.
She had 1 pancake and a teaspoon of scrambled eggs. I ate the rest. :yum:

They usually have hash browns with that meal, but I think the girl forgot to give it to Tina?
If it wasn't for Gas to go back I would complain. That's why I always check what is in the bag.

No salt ... no pepper....and No Ketchup either.
 
We have our May Day bank holiday today - going to be cooking outside - what we call BBQ, I think most of you call grilling.
 
Had the grandkids here this weekend, so not much time to post pics. Sunday DW made dinner of a 7# roasted chicken, smashed redskins & roasted carrots. As you can see, my plate has the dark meat that all the wimminz think is fattening. Let them keep thinking that way, as the legs &thighs are all mine. (Does thta make me a leg man???:twak:):corny::corny:

 
We scrapped the spag and had
A BBQ instead - I made some home made guacamole! With red onions vine tomatoes little bit of garlic and lemon and lime juice with a squeez of fresh sour cream and a tad of salt n pepper ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367860740.056762.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1367860756.501119.jpg

Uhh! Let me check on that ...... .... .... .... YES!!!! You are a Leg Man!!

I was sitting in the Dr's office with Tina and the Cardiologist, and he told her,"You can take a whole chicken and roast it Tina!" .... And IF you take off all the Skin, "You can eat the whole chicken all by yourself, and not gain an ounce!"

I laughed so hard....and said, " Doc, and If she Takes the skin off a whole PIG?"

My comment didn't go over too well! ...

Ooooo! That sounds Good Luvs!

Hmmm Good Idea for tomorrows supper.

Dessert came out burn't tonight! Tina made a "Sock It To Me" Cake in a cast alumionum Nordicware Bundt Pan, and she over cooked it. Why? ... She didn't hear the timer go "Ding". hahahahaha

I'm gonna have a bowl of raw oatmeal with just a little milk to dampen it! Maybe a squiggle of Corn Syrup on top.
 
Lunch was a bunch of sliders.
I ate six and a fries...

We had corn on the cob and coleslaw for supper. No pics.
 
Wednesday New Post:

Today was Dr's Day for both of us. Messed up the day for sure

Supper and Lunch was scrambled eat what you find.
I had three pierogies that were left over from what GD couldn't eat!

My BP is way too high ... 170 / 86. Doc wants me to lose some MORE weight. I told him it would be a snap; because I can now eat salads and peppers and grains and such that are lower calorie.
He increased my meds..so hoping that will help.
I feel oK and figured, hey! thats what keeps me going, so why worry about it. LOL
My motto is,"Leave Well enough Alone!"

GD is baking a cake, and Grandpa will taste it.

Oh! I forgot! Had a can of sardines in hot sauce for late lunch, and only one slice of bread. Great!!! IMO.

i see Heinz. that makes fer a great dinner.

i'm considering dinners.
i shopped.
i bought too much.
i'm a woman.

now i cannot choose.
 
I made Chicken Chili Verde last night that was really good. Just out of curiosity I decided to tally the calories, cholesterol, and sodium for each serving. About 300 calories :thumb:, about 36 mg of cholesterol :thumb:, a whopping 1366 mg of sodium :eek:...I was astounded at the amount of sodium. Here is the main culprit:

images


1850 mg of sodium in a 7.75 oz can---Geez louise, I love the stuff, but I've got to figure out how to make it with fresh tomatillos. It has the perfect amount of tanginess for me.

Edit to add: Ding! This one looks like what I'm looking for: http://netcookingtalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16991&postcount=1

ROTFL The piece that attaches the temple (arm) o the lens broke right at the edge of the lens. She crazy glued I jus above he piece still on the lens then I had her cut a thin strip of white strapping tape; one fiber filament wide and use that to tape it on. It isn't overly obvious; not like the taped nose bridge in those movies. I had to order a cheapo pair of metal frames for now. The broken pair are frameless and the broken piece will cost about $50.00 plus labor to replace. BUT the lens and labor to replace
this pair will cost $400.00 plus tax etc.

I had contacts and don't really like them. They irritate my eyes and with my allergies my eyes are always itchy. I was losing them and tearing them. To much of a PITA OR a PINE (pain in the eyes) LOL.

The truth is.....I had a gift card balance of 32.00 and the order came to 31.98 with FREE shipping.
I totally forgot I had a gift card balance. LOL:bonk:

Didn't have to use a credit card....:bounce: YAY!
