What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

Last couple of days have been a real challenge. Lots of tests, CT scan, EKG, xrays, and 6 viles of blood for bloodwork. Getting old is the real challenge.
Last night we had pizza and salad.
Tonight we had pre-made frozen meatballs and a jar of Ragu with spaghetti. First time for me to use pre-made meatballs in the frozen food aisle. It will be the last.

I hope that you feel better soon. I've done the same medical song and dance recently. I'm now to the point that I am immune to needle sticks for IVs and blood draws.

Hmmmm, yeah. Though when it's done right it is my almost favorite food. The crust, sauce, cheese and spices are the key....lol

Your picture shows you have a contender there.
 
I hope @vesper and @Lisa will feel better soon.
Needles, if they could only ever find a vein.
Enough of that though, we don't want the guys get all scared.

I made a slightly different version of arepas today. We had some leftover mashed potatoes to use up, and I added cheese, a few spices and lots of fresh herbs. They came out crisp and very tasty. We dipped them in a sour cream concoction made with lemon juice, salt, pepper and more fresh herbs.

I've been told that I have good veins. The nurses seem to like me because it only takes one attempt.

That sounds really good. I had a version of a Chipolte bowl with grains, grilled chicken, Swiss chard, spinach, various beans and lentils and roasted veggies. It was excellant
 
Today was a beautiful day after a very stressful week. My daughter and two of my adult grandsons came to visit today. One of my grandsons is married to a beautiful gal inside and out and has given us our first great grandchild. So good to see all of them.

Food wasn't so important. Tonight for dinner I had a nut pastry and it was delicious.

not true

that's like saying there is nothing worse than mediocre sex
and even the worst sex i ever had was good



however, great pizza may be better than mediocre sex
 
Quick supper tonight. I worked in the garden today and was a sweaty mess. Shrimp, cherry tomatoes, asparagus sautéed in olive oil, with garlic, butter, splash of white wine and butter over angel hair. Everything prepped while water came to a boil and ready in 5 minutes. Made a double batch for tomorrow's lunch.

I've heard this word before, but I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I really don't know what it is. What is it?
