Weekend update

Sorry for the lack of posting, especially recipes.  Our household got hit kinda hard this week.  The hubs came down with a nasty head cold and I had my third bout of diverticulitis.  I get flare ups on average every 5-6 years so its not a bad thing, but still, clear liquids for 24-48 hours and then soft foods so not a lot of cooking around the house.  John lived on chicken soup and frozen pizza (poor guy)  I could have cooked for him but he just didn't feel like eating either

At least I got soft boiled eggs.  :)  My mom and gramma used to make them for me when I was just a wee blighter.  They were the best.  I've never had much success making them for some reason, but this time they turned out really good.  The first food I ate in almost 2 days  - I'm guessing it would have been good no matter what :)

Things are getting more back to normal now so hoping to research some new recipes and try them out soon.  I'm thinking some marinades for grilling.  We'll see what I come up with.  I also want to try a tarka (whole seeds in hot oil) as a dressing.  Learned about that in an Indian cooking class I took.  But with the diverticulitis making an appearance I might have to be a little wary of seeds for bit.  Those can aggravate the situation.

We'll see.  I'll try and have something new next week.

Enjoy your weekend!
