Homemade soup sounds so good right about now. And I never make it. That’s a crime.

My doctor just called me as a follow-up to my email to her yesterday, asking me for a full account of everything following the colonoscopy. I like her a lot.

Excellent. I was wondering if you had asked for this.

I am having butternut squash soup with pumpkin seed kernels sprinkled on top

vixmom · « **Reply #63 on:** March 05, 2020, 10:45:30 AM »

I heated it up myself

It is organic from Stew Leonard’s

DR John G, have a great time! What's playing at ATC?

The soup has become two large pots and will end up as three or four. It smells fantastic. After I retrieved the beef and put the broth through a sieve, I added crushed tomatoes and stewed tomatoes to the broth, shredded the beef and put it into the pot as well. I just added chopped cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, and chopped onion. I have to peel and cut carrots now.

45 minutes later the frozen green beans, corn, and peas went into the soup. I need to cut up the celery and add it last, just before I turn off the heat and let it sit for a couple of hours.

I will have three big pots of soup.

The celery is in and the heat is off. The wonderful odor has had three kitties worked up since noon, but neither Stella nor Annabelle would eat the pieces of beef I offered.

I had to buy a pill crushers for Annabelle's antiviral medicine, only she won't eat the food withj the crushed pills in it.

The soup came out quite nicely. It tastes great.

I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep. Had to have a telephonic call as soon as I got up, then went to Gelson's for stuff for burgers, now I'm back home.

Hello, everyone.

DR elmore do you have room in your freezer for some of that soup?

Jeanne · « **Reply #75 on:** March 05, 2020, 03:42:23 PM »

Larry, so sorry to hear of your medical issues. Your doctor sounds like he's being straight with you, which I, for one, would appreciate.

Vibes of peace and comfort and the very best of care for a excellent outcome.

I was wondering the same.

I love soup and often freeze it. It makes such an easy, light dinner.

I stopped at the supermarket on the way to my hair appointment. The woman in line ahead of me asked the very friendly checker if he'd seen much panic shopping. He said yes, on everything. They had to restock.

As it happened, it was time for me to buy more toilet paper. They were out of my first choice, but had lots of stock of others.

Thanks, DR Jeanne. I like my primary doctor and the gastrointestinal doctor who did my past four colonoscopies very much. My two surgeons both have great empathy and senses of humor. Works for me.

I hope everything is working out for you.

I had to drive past Costco. My God, the traffic! It was like rush hour instead of late morning.

Thanks. I rescheduled next week's surgery. I was waffling, then the coronavirus made it just too iffy. I'll wait until I'm stronger and not facing an epidemic.

I haven't heard this from the standard news reports, but Starbucks, who has a big investment in stores in China, has said that 90% of their stores there have now reopened. I find this encouraging, despite the rest of the bad news.

I ended up confessing my frustration of this turn of events at the discussion and mentioned that I may have said (albeit in my own car and out of hearing of the aforementioned driver) some harsh and unkind things about the drivers ability to drive, questioned his intelligence and possibly suggested that his parents had not been married prior to his birth. I may have also speculated upon the possibility that his mother may have been a species other than human, perhaps canine in origin....

Isn't it interesting how much we can glean from someone by their vehicular body language?

FYI: MISS FISHER (the movie) in theatres March 13, streaming March 23.

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

Why this concern about the size of my refrigerator?

Jeanne · « **Reply #87 on:** March 05, 2020, 05:00:51 PM »

My freezer is usually pretty packed, with little room for new items. Yours may be larger or used less.

It might be filled with other food. Plenty then for after your surgery
