What's For Dinner?-August 2012

[Denise]

We are seeing some of Isaac's outer bands here this morning. Nothing much, just light rain. And forecast to rain through Wed. So, guess we will be enjoying a lot of time indoors. Can't complain much, this has been the coolest August I have ever seen in the South. Tonight, bacon wrapped chicken and some pasta with tomatoes and garlic.

Wife is working tonight so leftover hot wings and tomatoes with blue cheese dressing. Oh and beer.

The doctor was a freaking disaster. So I'm going to broil some fish, and then I am going to go out and drink entirely too much beer for my own good.

I like how you think

Sorry Felix, what happened?

Short version: A minimum of 30 days from when I have my last cigarette (please keep your opinions about smoking to yourself, thanks), I can call her to make an appointment for a blood test to make sure I actually quit smoking. After the results from that come back, then she will schedule the surgery, but it will take about six weeks from that time before it can be done.

Oh, and my insurance doesn't pay for smoking cessation in any form. They'd far rather collect the increased premium from smokers.

We are having one of Denise's delicious chicken dishes again. Yum!

My dinner will have to wait for tomorrow. When I dropped off the ladies dinner; they suggested I stayed and joined both of them. So, we went back to Lady #1's house and enjoyed dinner.

They sent me cards from every port and stops on their cruise and trip to Ireland and Scotland. They also got me a beautiful light sweater from Ireland (hand made). It is gorgeous and some very cool kitchen items from their Mediterranean cruise; along with some cool spices. I'm happy. It is the first I saw them since they got back.

It was fantastic; so my chicken will get made tomorrow and everything will just get moved up a day.

Yikes ... question; many people smoke and have surgery. Why quit smoking before a blood test. My friend is a chronic smoker and he just had major surgery. Seems strange, but I'm no doc.

Crazy isn't it?
