Last night around 8:30 I was afflicterd with a new torturous round of neuropathy: shooting, burning pains of 10-30 seconds duration in the base of my left heel and achilles tendon. They were frequent, sometimes running up the back of my leg to mid-calf. Usually, I just get short jabs in my toes or the bottoms of my feet, but this new one was persistent and lasted all night. I got very little sleep.

The question about salmon reminds me of another fish thing my mom made a lot when I was a kid:  salmon patties. I hadn't thought about those in years, but a quick google search shows that they're very much a "thing". I have no idea how she made them, but I'm guessing that if I find a recipe in the old Betty Crocker book, that's probably it. And considering our lack of love for seafood through those years, those probably weren't very salmon-y. But I definitely liked them.

These days, I dunno, I can't think of a way I wouldn't enjoy salmon. It's good stuff. Baked or grilled are certainly favorites.

The salmon patties seem similar to crab cakes. If so, then why don't we call them salmon cakes, and crab patties? If indeed they're called salmon cakes, then they're like chocolate cakes. Only different.

When I was growing up, we used to get new beach towels every May before school let out. We never went swimming, so I don't really know what their use was. And yet they always wore out with just sun bathing.

Anyway, I did find a 6-foot beach towel today at Sam's with lobsters and crabs on it. It seemed to call to me, and it was nice to relive an old tradition.

So yesterday morning I was inspired by DR George to get a head start on the reading of the new book. I downloaded it, and though I hadn't planned on reading the entire book yesterday, I ended up doing just that. It's mostly what I did all day.

No spoilers shall be dropped, but y'all have a fun read to look forward to.

DR George -- I saw one blank line in the middle of a paragraph, as you reported. Don't remember where, but on flipping through it today, it seemed to be gone. Another thing I saw, which I've seen happen in many Kindle books -- a word will be hy-phen-at-ed, just like that, for no reason, right in the middle of a line. That, too, will change or go away when you next open the app.

It's:  App Crap.

George, what a coincidence, that’s my favorite recipe too!

;D  My salmon burger last night wasn't frozen which I find disgusting.  It is served on a delicious bun with coleslaw, tomato, and an aioli sauce.  I added extra coleslaw instead of fries.

I splurged as my weight was, note was not is, down.

I ate it all up except for a little bit of the bread.  Plus we always split a side of roasted vegetable as an appetizer.

After eating all that I was reminded why my weight was down.  After getting vaccinated I decided I had had enough of being in pain and wasn't going to worry about covid.

I am still hurting some this morning which a walk will clear up.

Salmon. Yes, I do like salmon, preferably wild.

There used to be an Italian restaurant in Old Town Alexandria called Villa D'Este, which had superb salmon in a light sauce, with a few veggies. The owner passed away suddenly and his wife took over. It wasn't as good after that.

I like it grilled or poached.

My favorite restaurant here for salmon or sole has closed due to Covid.  :(

Hot, hot afternoon. The theater is not exactly chilled. Brenda Rae, who has sung at the Met, is Lucia. The orchestra is on stage.

Is your upcoming biopsy a needle biopsy? Have you had one before? I had one about ten years ago and didn't find it difficult at all. Little pricks with the needle.

Vibes yours goes as easily as mine.

My thyroid biopsy was a needle biopsy too.  Virtually painless and very quick

Zoom done. Watched a movie, too. Listening to a great mono Ormandy Scheherazade - there was an older 40s version in the set but this one's much better and in much better sound.

I couldn’t convince the doctor to throw in a tummy tuck or butt lift with the colposcopy.  I think those should definitely be an included part of the procedure



I would think the butt lift would be standard.

So yesterday morning I was inspired by DR George to get a head start on the reading of the new book. I downloaded it, and though I hadn't planned on reading the entire book yesterday, I ended up doing just that. It's mostly what I did all day.

No spoilers shall be dropped, but y'all have a fun read to look forward to.

DR George -- I saw one blank line in the middle of a paragraph, as you reported. Don't remember where, but on flipping through it today, it seemed to be gone. Another thing I saw, which I've seen happen in many Kindle books -- a word will be hy-phen-at-ed, just like that, for no reason, right in the middle of a line. That, too, will change or go away when you next open the app.

It's:  App Crap.

I did notice one needlessly hyphenated word (I forget where so I can't check that), but I checked on the blank lines in chapter 5, and they were still there.  Then, I realized that I hadn't actually closed my Kindle app, only minimized it and turned off my tablet.  When I actually closed my Kindle app (even without turning off my Kindle), the blank lines were gone!  Interesting.

At the barbecue joint, I had a sandwich called the Willie Nelson: smoke Akaushi brisket, pork loin and sausage. The  bun fell apart after a few bites, so I had most of it Keto-style. Quite wonderful.


Sounds like it would have been a very thick sandwich.

George, what a coincidence, that’s my favorite recipe too!

;D  My salmon burger last night wasn't frozen which I find disgusting.  It is served on a delicious bun with coleslaw, tomato, and an aioli sauce.  I added extra coleslaw instead of fries.

I splurged as my weight was, note was not is, down.

I ate it all up except for a little bit of the bread.  Plus we always split a side of roasted vegetable as an appetizer.

After eating all that I was reminded why my weight was down.  After getting vaccinated I decided I had had enough of being in pain and wasn't going to worry about covid.

I am still hurting some this morning which a walk will clear up.




How do you know that the salmon had not been frozen?

Tonight after coming home from my mom's, I went shopping for mini-cheesecake ingredients so that I can make mini-cheesecakes for dessert for tomorrow.  They're out of the oven but have to cool before I can wrap them and put them in the fridge.

Nothing Keto about the coffee crunch gelato I had. I tasted my friends' pistachio and vanilla gelati. All were excellent. The place had been open only about 10 weeks and has been overrun, which is great. The owner was passing out samples of his water buffalo pepperoni, which was also really good (we had the meat before the dessert).


Is water Buffalo gamey?
