In other news, I spent the whole day cooking stuff from Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Family Style Cookbook. Poor Sadie, her husband Tom is from Vancouver and his 78 year old father fell and broke his hip while visiting Butte Montana this week. He had supplemental insurance that every Canadian purchases before entering the U.S. It covered his surgery, but won't cover his rehabilitation here in the states. Sadie and Tom can't buy him insurance here, so that he can get well close by, because he has a "pre existing condition". Yay America! So Tom flew up there to get him and his motor home back to Canada two days ago. She and Hattie are flying solo for the foreseeable future. So I thought I'd make some chicken and biscuit stew, and homemade mac and cheese (with gruyere) to tide them over for a day or two. Oh, and did I mention Sadie and Hattie have a terrible cold? Of course they do, because life is HARD people!!!
Ok, I have to go watch the Roomba that Sadie lent me clean my kitchen floor. Jack likes to shout "Go Roomba GO!" when it's cleaning. He's such a supportive child.
Okay, two things: 1) poor Sadie & Hattie! I hope they feel better soon. 2) Absolutely put the tree-thingy on your front door. You make mac & cheese with effing gruyere -- you are fancy!
ReplyDeleteI love your tree crown, it's also a gorgeous hat.
ReplyDeleteGood job on taking care of your friends. You chose the most delicious comfort foods.
My mother's cousin was buried on boot hill near Butte. Killed in a knife fight. He was actually trying to break it up. Life is hard. The lake behind Butte is so polluted the have goose detectors and sirens to warn them.If the land in the "water," the acid eats at their feathers. Butte- where good things happen.
