Haines His Way

I should start getting dinner on the table.

Battered cod, baked french fried potatoes, and zucchini fritters.

(Yes, it is fish!)

Baked!?!?!?!?  Hmm, it seems to me that you could do the initial fry before you fry the cod and zucchini fritters, and then give them a second fry (a.k.a. The Belgian Treatment).  -Hmm...And then if you can whip up some tzatziki... YUM!

i took my splint off for a heavenly shower.  i should have expected all the bruising, don’t know why I didn’t.  I have been concerned the inside of my wrist, on the inside just the wrist-that bone that goes up to the thumb, hasn’t looked good.  I called the doctor, who was out, & thy said to take the splint off and ice it.  I have been icing it but the splints were in the way.  Now I can really get to it, and feel the cold.  I think it is a little better.  

It is odd the side with the little crack is much worse than the opposite side with the break.  Not more painful, just looks worse.  I don’t want my hand to look like this forever, and i don't want a more confining splint or cast

sorry to complain but i'm sitting here with the cold ice and nothing else to do

VIBES TO DR JANE

VIBES TO EVERYONE WHO HAS NEEDED THEM WHILE I'VE BEEN SELF ABSORBED

Ok, the vets have always just referred to them as subcutaneous fluids. I wasn't familiar with the lactated ringers term

Somehow LACTATED RINGERS just sounds like the sort of phrase you'd find here at HHW.

BK, surely you can do something with that.

Isn't tzatziki what I eat on my falafels? If not, it's a similar name.
Oh, I know the anti-falafel contingent here will be cringing.

Hmm.. I guess you could put tzatziki - greek yogurt, shredded cucumbers and garlic(!) on falafel... Sound yummy to me.  However, falafel is usually served with tahini - sesame seed paste.  Although, a garlic cream is also a common falafel condiment.

Cilla, I'm a big believer in at-home care. Many years ago one of my cats had distemper. I took her to the vet, who, of course, said it was useless and wanted to put her to sleep immediately. I refused and we got into quite an arguement. I took her home, gave her water and liquid baby vitamins with an eyedropper every half-hour, kept her warm, and cuddled her. She got through it just fine. About a month or two later, a friend who worked for the vet and knew of our words, stopped by my house and asked what happened to the cat. "That's her," I said, referring to the kitty who was happily running all around. She couldn't believe it.

There's a lot to be said, I think, for an animal being at home with loved ones and getting much care and attention, versus an institutional environment.

And then there's that semi-mysterious "White Sauce" that the Halal Food Carts here in NYC top their offering with.  It seems to be a combo of yogurt, sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, garlic, etc.  Although each cart chef seems to have his own secret formula.

Yes, that's it. PERFECT PITA, near me, serves their falafels that way. It's quite good, actually. My favorite falafels, however, are at ALADDIN, in Shirlington. Know the place, Jose?

jeanne, that vet was very wrong.  36 years ago My Sin had distemper when she walked into our apartment and adopted us.  the vet said one more day and she would have been gone. he didn't hesitate to treat her & we had her 17 wonderful years.

OMG am I D E N S E - I just realized why DR JANE is typing the way she is typing....whew!!!!

Vibes to DR JANE....

Watched the first act on Phenomenon and thought his mentalist routine was actually quite interesting.  Uri Geller thought he did fine, but he was dissed my illusionist Criss Angel....big time.

Did DR RLP (who is not nude this evening) mention that WITH A SONG IN MY HEART and I'LL CRY TOMORROW are up for preorder?

I have been looking at those DVD's.  I remember SONG on the old NBC Saturday Night at the Movies....I may just have to have that movie!!!

I know Alladin very well from my days working at Signature Theatre.  Yummy!

Have you tried the Amsterdam Falafelshop in Adams-Morgan?  Very good falafel, and the toppings bar is full of other goodies too which you can pile on to your heart's delight.  And since they do not provide silverware nor plasticware, one learns to stack and balance things accordingly.  

*And they're open till 4:00AM on the weekends!

No, I'll keep that in mind.

And now...off to rehearsal!  Until later.
