Good morning  Dear Ones! Oscar is on the warpath   After all I've done for this little guy, he's being a pain in the butt (or should I say stomach region) again.  There was a message on our machine when I got home yesterday.  Our son, Danny, called to say he was planning to cook dinner for us - grilled pork chops, potatoes, and if I could, would I take care of the veggie.  He comes home with the most beautiful, thickest pork chops I've ever seen and some red potatoes.  I prepared spinach with sauteed mushrooms, garlic, and pepper jack cheese (Danny's recipe that the family loves).  The pork chops were so moist, potatoes seasoned well...a few bites into the meal, and I had to leave the table .  Shortly after, I started with stomach, chest, and shoulder pains.  This went on most of the night.  I tried sleeping in the recliner until 2:30, then went to bed and tossed and turned the rest of the night.  So, either something didn't agree with Lil Oscar, or I'm stressed and don't realize it.  Oscar behaves very badly when I'm stressed.  I do have a doctor's appt this afternoon because my thumb, yes the one I just had surgery on 4 weeks ago, is red, swollen, itchy, and not bending as much as it did a few days ago. OK, yea, I guess it is stress! B - protein shake S - protein shake L - chicken soup S - ?? depends on how Oscar likes the soup, maybe a protein bar or another shake as those go down well  D - again, depending on Oscar and his shenanegans, maybe veggie stew with some type of meat or cheese S - protein shake Have a great Friday! Debbie

My pouch, "The Kemminator" doesn't like pork chops, either!!!

HIJACK...... Hey Pat.......I love your pouch name......how did you come up with that? What does it stand for??? Hahahahahaha!!! My pouch...no name.......does not like pork no matter how it is cooked. I don't get sick but it just doesn't sit right. Have a great day!!! Hugs...connie d

I named my pouch for my surgeon, Dr. Kemmeter. When I told him I was calling it "The Kemminator" he really laughed and said he loved it!!!!

Linda, you quack me up. I made two packages of SF pudding - that's a whole lotta servings. Figured it would be tasty mixed with cool whip and pumpkin. Tom doesn't like the pumpkin but went ape **** over the pudding, red raspberries and cool whip. He sure can eat, lots and lots too. It takes that much to fill up all 6'4" of him. I might be able to scrape up some pudding for myself tonight. No menu changes. Same stuff, different day. All is good. You have a good weekend Linda. Want to go out on the town with me? I'm tired of being good and we could find some trouble together. Partners in crime might cure both of us. Anybody else want to join? I'm dreaming of course. Sigh
