Talking Tuesday

 Second week without a meeting at assist downtown Salt Lake. I could sure get used to this it's nice having a little extra time. But at the same time I really do like the pressure of having to go in and do my business and then come back again. The most energetic thing I did today was make lima bean soup. Diane gave me the idea for this yesterday when she sent me the Quasi recipe directions on how to make bean soup just out of regular lima beans. I thought I had some dried limes but I guess I did so I had to make that run over to the market this morning actually this afternoon fairly late. I could have used the dried beans for the lima beans but I ended up getting two cans of already processed lima beans and some ham that I could use to put it inside them. I came home and threw it together and sure enough it was good enough to have with dinner as long as well as with some potato salad and I chopped up one of the pork chops it was quite a large dinner actually. I don't necessarily like eating that heavy in the afternoon and evening but I was tickle about the soup and what I'm thinking I'm going to do tomorrow is to start early and soak half of the bag of beans I purchased today and add them to the mixture that I made today with the lima beans from the cans. I think I put too much ham in these beans and so the extra the extra beans will be welcome and I think tastes great. I really do like cooking. I might also consider some cornbread for tomorrow so I do have the breadsticks I can toast as well. That might be good just to get rid of the breadsticks that I picked up last week. I made this good dinner tonight just because I didn't know how I was going to feel tomorrow after the extraction. I don't think it's going to go too bad however I could be just whistling in the dark. I just hope I'll have enough platform grinder surface that I'll still be able to basically eat okay. I'm seeing more and more ads for those weird teeth that you buy that work like real teeth just have to stick them in your mouth. It seems like they're a little bit desperate but when I think about the whole concept of what teeth are and where they're at and stuff it looks like it would be fairly simple to put together an easy denture type situation that's that's inexpensive but functional. Something to grind up meat and nuts and such. As I said tomorrow's extraction is at 10:30 and I should be all done by noon not that I plan to do anything to speak of but still I'm getting a little bit nervous and hopefully that everything will go just fine. I don't think there's any reason why it shouldn't. I'll be glad to get this part of the whole thing done then maybe start thinking about what to do about maybe replacement teeth if that's what I want to do ast some point if I want to spend the kind of money that that's going to take.
