Not being able to breath properly is extremely stressful. I hope the docs don't list it as Covid19 because of the respiratory and coughing she is experiencing. If I may be of any help just let me know, after all we are just a few hours away. 15 hours ago, Invicta said: Sorry to hear about your wife, Mike.I pray that shr will soon be well enough to come of O2 Thanks for the concern. As of this morning, when she was on just room air for about 10 minutes using the restroom, she came back and checked her oxygen and was at about 89%, so getting better slowly. I suspect that even as she gets normal she will be staying on oxygen at night, probably just a low volume, for a while to come, just to keep things strengthened.

Administrators Jim_Alaska 2,385 Posted April 21, 2020 Administrators Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks for the latest update Mike. It sounds like some good progress, although small. The encouraging thing is that even though the progress is slow, it is positive progress and each little bit adds up to substantial progress in the long run.

Lady Administrators HappyChristian 3,684 Posted April 23, 2020 Lady Administrators Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Last night I fixed burgers. Chopped red peppers and onions and mixed them in before frying. Gave it a good flavor! Tonight I'm making a version of chicken al fredo. For Randy I'll use hearts of palm for the pasta. My sauce is pretty basically heavy cream, garlic, and parmesan, with a little mozzarella mixed in, salt, and pepper. He likes it. Mike, I hope her oxygen has bumped up into the 90s by now.

Advanced Member Invicta 1,555 Posted May 16, 2020 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Yesterday, I went to the egg machine of a local poultry farm for the first time. I didn't negociate it too well. I got me eggs OK but ended up with a steak and ale pie instead of the apple pie I was trying to get. So I had that today and gave the leftovers to my grandchildren next door. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

Moderators OLD fashioned preacher 1,486 Posted August 2, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Squash casserole, zipper cream peas, collard greens with smoked ham hocks, baked sweet taters. All aforementioned veggies are fresh from garden. My wife’s been canning tomatoes, making pickles, chow-chow, hot pepper relish, 3 dozen tamales, on so on. On the “dog box” in the cab of the motorhome are two laundry baskets of yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, bell peppers, jalapeños, sweet Italian peppers, zipper peas, bi-color corn, onions, and honeydew melons.

Advanced Member Invicta 1,555 Posted November 15, 2020 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Cous Cous yesterday and today and English chilli con carne fpr the two days before that. I like to have Merguez sausages with cous cous which I used to buy in France where we went shopping about once a month, but we have not neen there since at least Junuary due to lockdown. We could go in the summer but declined because of the price hike. We used to pay about £27.00 for a day return, but in the summer the cheapest I could fine was £160.00 on the ferry. I knew that a butcher in my old hometown made his own Merguez but he only does them from time to time, so I called and asked him when he would be doing them and I went and bought a kolo each for my daughter and I and a bit more for my grandson who was staying with us at the time, but lives in. the midlands. He later sent me a whtatsap message saying he had found some up there but they were a lot dearer than mine. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Administrators HappyChristian 3,684 Posted March 7 Lady Administrators Report Share Posted March 7 Tomorrow is our church potluck day (we do it every first Sunday). Mom made spaghetti, and white cake/lemon icing for dessert. I made a beef stroghanoff gravy and rice, and a green salad. Others will be bringing different things (I know sloppy joes are coming, too). So tonight I tried out the rice and gravy. Yum! Jim_Alaska and Invicta 2 Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Advanced Member Invicta 1,555 Posted March 11 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 11 We are still in lockdown so we have not been able to meet with anyone except my daughter and some of her family who live at the same address. We have been able to have one service at church and from the 21st march we will be able to have an evening service as well. That is my birthday.

Administrators Jim_Alaska 2,385 Posted March 31 Administrators Report Share Posted March 31 I had a real treat, for me that is. I have not had access to Moose Meat since I lived in Alaska, almost twenty years ago. A friend gave me some Moose and Caribou. So, tonight I had Caribou steak cut in strips and dry dredged in pancake flour with spices. Quick fried in an open pan. Also had asparagus spears steamed. For those who have never had Caribou or Moose, this cooking method and combination is wonderful. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Administrators HappyChristian 3,684 Posted April 5 Lady Administrators Report Share Posted April 5 Today we had potluck at church. The church bought fried chicken...and the deli gave us the wrong order. So - they called us and told us our order was still there. They GAVE it to us, so we had an overabundance of chicken. Not only did we feast on it for lunch, we were able to send a bunch home with folks, and deliver some to others. We also had ham, au gratin potatoes, pasta salad, potato salad, veggies, and two different cakes for dessert (lemon, and strawberry shortcake). The best part of the day was the preaching/teaching. On our first Sundays, we have an afternoon service instead of an evening service. It works out nicely since we have the potluck. Our son has been given the honor and responsibility of teaching the afternoon service, so it is even more enjoyable for me. Jim_Alaska 1 Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Members jeff_student_of_Jesus 5 Posted April 5 Members Report Share Posted April 5 Except for the ham, it's "just like" the sixth day when twice as much in abundance was provided generously by God to be more than enough, yet not too much, for two days.

But that's OK, I would gladly swap going there for where I actually live, which is more distant that Happy Christian. I live in a small community of 80 people.

Moderators Ukulelemike 3,829 Posted Wednesday at 07:14 PM Moderators Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:14 PM Last night, Taco Bell. Blah. Kind of going away from much fast food, as too many carbs. My wife and I are going to try the Keto. Tonight, beef patties with cheese. Probably about it. HappyChristian 1 Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Jim_Alaska 2,385 Posted Thursday at 07:07 AM Administrators Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:07 AM I'm doing the Keto, Bro. Mike. Lost sixteen pounds. It is not a strict Keto, just no sugar, which I don't usually use anyway. Extremely low Carbs though. This is a first for me as far as diets go; I don't usually stick to them well. Another first for me is lots of veggies, I have had a life long hatred of veggies. I am finding that cooking my own recipes makes veggies really good. The only thing I really miss is starchy stuff like rice and noodles or pasta. But I am sticking to it. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

While on a not-strict version, I pretty quickly lost about 50 pounds, not even really trying, and seem to have plateaued there for now. My wife says she can see it, but no one else seems to-a testament to how big I have been: 50 pounds down brought me to just below 300 pounds, so I'm still a big tub of goo, but we're moving along. Congrats on the 16 pounds-I don't recall you being a particularly large man by any means, so 16 pounds is a real difference for you. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
