-=> Quoting Janis Kracht to Nancy Backus on 10-10-19  12:03 <=-

 >>>>> good stuff, rest up...

 >>> Wegmans makes pretty good meals, though... ;)  But it's kinda like

 >> Agree there... :)

 JK> Yes, that's true.  I do love their pulled pork . 

Some of their oven-safe packaging entrees are pretty nice... just put
the bag in the oven for the proper length of time at the right temp, and
it cooks itself...

 JK> This week has been absolutely nutso though because Ron's aunt fell
 JK> and broke her hip (again, other side this time) this past weekend.  So
 JK> we're running back and forth to/from the hospital.. but from what the
 JK> hospital told us this morning, Ron and his aunt will be investigating
 JK> other rehabilitation options at a rehab nursing home, for example,
 JK> instead of rehab in the Cayuga hospital.  It was determined that Aunt
 JK> Gert can't tolerate the 6-hour a day rehab necessary (I think it was
 JK> 6hours a day at least). :( 

How did that work out...?  Did they at least find something fairly close
by, so that you'd be able to supervise it properly... ?

 JK> Anyway, running to hospital sure puts a damper on cooking.. so last
 JK> night we enjoyed a bowl of Lasagne soup from a local place.. it was
 JK> good :)  I have a beef tongue in my 'frige I bought to cook this week,
 JK> guess I'll have to wait a bit to cook that.  Thankfully it's an easy
 JK> one to cook, and so good :) The cook-by/use-by/freeze-by date is
 JK> sometime in the next two weeks so that is good :)

That gives you a bit of leeway... :)  And even if you end up freezing
it, it will still be good for when you can cook it... :)  And, right, it
is an easy thing to cook... :)

 >>> And while Wegmans has quite the assortment of things one could be
 >>> getting, it still can get boring after a while... :)
 >> Yes, there are only so many days one can take the repetition :)
 > As I was just saying to Sean, there are quite a few things to choose
 > from... and we do eat there when we do our weekly shopping... but there
 > are some days I go thru and have a hard time finding something that I
 > really want that night.... ;)

 JK> I know what you mean there.  Generally, it's good food, but I find
 JK> they give you too much food haha.. Right now I'm still trying to build
 JK> up my appetite after that chest infection I had and the soup-frenzy
 JK> that I was on  

One can either share the portion... or save some for another meal... :)

 >>>> I have about 5 pie pumpkins from my garden I want to start using for
 >>>> pumkin bread/pies :)
 >>> Sounds good...  It's that season, after all...  :)
 >> And those pie pumpkins are so darn sweet, I love them :)  We just
 >> polished off the pumpkin bread I made, I have more pumpkin in the
 >> freezer in baggies.. Just in case I get the urge for pumpkin pie before
 >> the holidays hit :)
 > Sounds indeed as though you are feeling better.... back to normal
 > activities for this time of year.... :)  And nothing better than putting
 > up the produce from one's own garden...  :)

 JK> I have some not totally ripe pumpkins sitting under plant lights in
 JK> the living room... they are ripening there, so that's great :)

Sounds good...  :)
