Saturday night party
Nov. 7th, 2009 04:58 pmThe weather continues to be psychotic but that is all right. I am enjoying it because I don't have to stand out at some bus stop. I went grocery shopping this morning, found a present for Senor Onion's birthday & then took the time to do something just for myself. I went and had hot chocolate with home-made marshmallows. I didn't have any children to watch over, I could just sit and be. It was pleasant as it was pouring outside. It's the little things. Eventually I came home and was back to being responsible Mummy.
I worked on a recipe that is nearly ready. I baked two Christmas cakes, which will spend the next month or so relaxing with some booze. (like someone's maiden aunt) Senor Onion did not nap and made him a little frantic but we got through it together by doing some baking. Thankfully his sister did nap. Miss Biscuit you are earning yourself a pony.
In fun grown-up health news I got my lab results. In many ways I am one healthy horse, but it seems I suffer from a pretty darn extreme vitamin D deficiency veering into the "severe" category. I don't have bendy bones or anything but I now have a prescription for a crazy-high dose of the stuff. The doctor told me that even with eating foods that are boosted with Vitamin D ,(milk, juice and so on) taking a multi-vitamin and going out everyday in the sun -it doesn't do much. In this part of the world we don't get the intensity from the sun in the Autumn/Winter to get our dose. It doesn't mean I should give up walks; (because they do a lot for my health/sanity in other ways) I just need to add more to the diet. I also have some anemia and a B-12 deficiency. (even though I am taking a crazy high amount of that now as well.) An excuse to eat steak? *snorts* This should take care of some things. Hey now we have an extra excuse to think about a vacation some where sunny next year. "The wife...she ails."
Anyhow...
I am making chicken with onions and peppers. I will cook up some polenta and a spinach salad with that. This damn chicken seems to be lasting forever. I will be happy to see it gone. I shall think of it as practice for Thanksgiving.
Now to not move for a few minutes.
