I left off Friday when we were going to Sister's lunch. Auntie did very well, and no adjustments were needed. However, we were in a secluded tall booth so this might have helped.
Her next venture out we will aim for a more open dining experience.
The weather was glorious this weekend and Sissy and Husb worked in our yard all day Saturday and I cooked and cleaned and entertained Auntie. I was so sore I could barely move from Friday's garden workout.
I had pulled a prime rib from Sissy's freezer and cooked that yesterday with baked potatoes and asparagus hollandaise. Sissy made her homemade rolls. It was delicious! We had her Neighbor and Friend from Church and there is still a ton of leftover rib, but I have plans. Sent everyone home with leftovers. I also whipped up a pistachio dessert (Auntie loves this) and made the bottom layer with gluten free flour as one of the Guests is gluten intolerant to the max. I wanted her to enjoy also. There was absolutely no difference in taste!
I am trying to establish a new habit and that is to work in the yard every morning I am home for at least two hours, weather permitting. I was able to get 1.5 hours in before I got rained out! I am also less sore. It will take time for these old muscles to adjust! If I do not put this time in it will take two years if not longer. So much hardscape to move.
This morning, I was able to get two of the four rose bushes fertilized, so two more to go and then I can move in more soil from the front, and Husb has to set a hardscape border for me, but I have all the stones I need placed, so he does not have to get down on his knees so much.
I now need to clean up and do my morning chores. We are then going to go to Home Depot for the edging we need for the front and the side path. We may go to a Nursery in Clarkston and look at Hosta's. I know the price at Home Depot, and we need ten of them, but I trust a real Nursery more, so we are going to compare prices. A little more expense will not bother me as I feel that the plants are healthier.
Need to call Sissy and see if She and Auntie want to come for dinner. I will make prime rib sandwiches and a big salad.
Now I must get to work!
Everyone have a wonderful day!

Next week I will start on our yard and gardens. We have had way too much rain for anything yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the trial run at a restaurant went well and that she is doing well with them.
A good prime rib sandwich sounds delicious!! Enjoy your day.
I wish you lived close. I have a bunch of hostas that need to be thinned. Anne in the kitchen
ReplyDeleteWe will be there, and I think I should make a thick stew for tomorrow night, what say you?
ReplyDeleteOh, count me in on a prime rib sandwich. I dislike seeing the rare prime rib, but love the flavor so as a more cooked sandwich, delicious. As soon as we get the ok weather wise to start the raking, serving, etc. I'll be out there too, and likely will be so sore for a while.
