I am one lucky taco. Even
though the tooth in the back of my mouth is like the Grand Canyon I
am blessed that there is no pain associated with whatever is going
on with my mouth.I slept through the night very well. The answering
machine at my dentist's office informed me that there would not even
be anyone in the office until after 10 AM.
I checked in with my buddy
at Assist, Inc. and informed them that I was having some tooth issues
and by buddy Dave told me to stay home. The other person on the board
with me also had some major dental issues going on and would not be
at the meeting so Dave declared the morning wash out. I did not have
a problem going in for the meeting in fact I would like to have done
just that. However, I thought it would be most prudent to get the
tooth taking care of or at least develop a plan for fixing the
problem.
I spent the day cooking. I
really enjoy cooking. The beans I made last week with my new crockpot
I got bad over the weekend I sent them down the disposal yesterday or
day before so I still needed a good source of fiber so I decided to
make another of beans. I decided not to use the new slow cooker and
use one of my saucepans for the job. I wasn't sure how this would
work but really want to get a shot. I used the recipe for red beans
and rice (I used to do this with Dianne. I was kind of the sous
chef). I dialed up a recipe and sure enough I had everything I needed
since I got the green pepper yesterday. I started out driving beans
and only made one cup. This is kind of hard for me since my natural
candidates is to make big batches but this is also a weakness on my
behalf since everything seems to go bad after I make it after a
couple weeks. I got the beans going, processed and onion, green
pepper and garlic all and the celery. I really enjoyed myself
chopping. I threw in the frying pan and sautéed them up. The aroma
was already overwhelmed I was on a roll.
I was using my sons
Christmas gift from last year. My son and daughter-in-law gave me a
matching set of bamboo cutting boards which have been the best
cutting boards of ever owned. I love using them. I'm glad I still
have the big board of the two in tact. Yesterday when I was cooking
some breakfast I was not paying attention to what I was doing. The
other that I use as the controls on the front which is as it should
be since I'm a person with disability with limited reach but I must
admit I get myself into a lot of trouble with the controls on the
front. Yesterday I did not realize when I leaned over that I turned
on the front burners without realizing. My large cutting board was on
the burner within a few minutes I saw smoke rising from the range
reached over not the board out-of-the-way and can see that it was on
a hot burner. Fortunately the board was not burned significantly but
there is a definite coloration of the burns on. Actually, I will
enjoy this mark my cutting board. The blemish or act as a reminder.
Early in my second marriage Denise got me a great butcher knife. I
left it on a burner and the knives wooden handle Actually did catch
fire and badly hurt the handle but I was still able to use it. I had
that knife from his 20 years I do not know what happened to that
knife but I still miss it from time to time.
Three times for like
cooked beans today I almost cooked out the water. I thought about
going to the market and getting a sausage to slice up in my beans but
then I remembered I have a whole honking Meatloaf ended up throwing
up half of it into the beans. I also threw in chicken breast I cooked
last week plus jalapeno peppers sliced. I used a lot of crushed red
pepper and other spices and the whole thing turned out pretty damn
good. I'm waiting for the pot to cool so I can put the beans into
plastic containers one to freeze and one to eat the rest of the week.
I had a cup of beans for dinner I thought they were great sprinkled
Fritos on them and totally enjoyed myself.
