Hi Sis.
I’m sorry I’m not more talkative tonight.
Guess I am a little “owly”

[Kathy in Alaska]

Up is always easier for me. But going up means you have to come down...then the problems start.

This is our arrangement.

We've had the longer one for 3 or 4 years. Both my Mom and Dad needed it. Now my Mom's mobility has gotten worse, so we added the shorter one a few months ago. Without it, my Mom would be stuck up or down.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Good evening, yarddog....I don’t cook either. I can open cans with the best of them, and I can follow the directions on the box.

And I have my trusty microwave!

BTW Pook is so happy with the Yummie Chummies, he now says his prayers.

[mylife]

Sorry to hear that your Mom is losing mobility.

[mylife]

I can bake white yeast rolls or bread, that is about my limit.

[hoagy62]

I got both Cook AND Baker. I am not surprised.

[mylife]

I can make pasta but that aint baking.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! You and me both. Kraft Mac & Cheese is calling my name tonight. I follow box directions well. d:o)

The kitchen, whether fine dining or military, is for young men. And that time has passed me by.

Don't say that. I've heard Anthony Bourdain say the same thing. I'm looking for a job. Working in a kitchen will do nicely.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Cool! I’m glad he likes them.

I got my Mom a cane with 4 feet and she’s pretty good about keeping it with her. And I have a 6’ hand rail down the hall, and last week we traded in the suburban for a Subaru Outback. The look of satisfaction on her face when she could get in without stepping up was worth everything.

And when my sister was here we started the move of her office upstairs...another thing to make life easier.

One day at a time...we are managing.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Great picture...finally we are going home.

[luvie]

Aw..Sis!
I know something about being "owly", too!
And this night owl must fly away to bed!
I hope you rest well!
((((hugs))))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, hoagy. Sounds like you enjoy being in the kitchen creating. Good for you!

[luvie]

Yep...we are alike! LOL!

My best meal is a Weight Watcher Smart One entree! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, Luv, and rest well.

[hoagy62]

Oh, yes....I LOVE to cook...and eat...my creations.

Tonight, I made an all-from-scratch tuna rice casserole. NO cream of mushroom soup from a can here, thank you. It wasn’t fancy, but it turned out very good. The kids loved it. I do my best to cook from scratch, except when I’m really tired or in a big hurry.

The most exotic(but surprisingly easy) thing I’ve ever made was Pineapple Foster. It’s like Bananas Foster, but I sauteed strips of fresh-cut pineapple instead of bananas in the same brown sugar-cinnamon sauce as you would a Bananas Foster. I substituted pineapple juice for banana liqueur. I still flambe’d the sauce in the end with dark rum. It was served over home-made coconut ice cream.

I do like to experiment in the kitchen, just to try things out. MOST of the time, they work.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good for you....and an adventurous cook, too.

Tuna rice casserole sounds yummy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, ML...((HUGS))...reservations will do. LOL!

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

How nice of sonboy to pick you up and carry your stuff. d:o)
