I've always had good shoulders and supple arms. The
arms aren't what they used to be (when music practice
was not a thing of the past). Never was good at lifting
weights, though, though neither of the wheelchair-bound
people referred to is exactly a dumbbell.

Yup, my fingers used to be stronger when I was practicing more, too...

Odd, that.

weight lifting restrictions.... and particularly when I couldn't brace myself as well, shortly after breaking my ankle, whilst it was still healing... But I could turn MJ, or boost her, as necessary, in her bed, without other assistance....

Adaptation to necessities, a good thing.

Drawsheets are a godsend.... :)

Indeed they must be. When I was at my most
immobile, the hospital used them, and they
worked sort of.

And yet another.... whom I knew from BlueWave... and he invited me to be one of the token females in the DADS echo.... :) (xxCarol was the

other)

Chosen partially for that reason. I wonder what became of him.

Dunno... someone else is moderating DADS now....

... Arctic char makes better salmon salad sandwiches than salmon.

Sounds like a Wellerism.

Tis. :)

Figured.

Here's another souse, which appears to be a pleasant one:

I've been buying a pork souse lately... makes a good snack/meal-ish... Camellia (I think it is) makes a mild and a hot one... the mild isn't
mild enough for the cats to want to share it, so I just go for the hot,
and remind the cats that come around begging that they don't like it...

Here's something we hope they'll REALLY like.

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Sauteed Game Bird and Rabbit Livers
Categories: Appetizers, Offal, Game, Poultry, Rabbit
Yield: 4

1 tb Extra virgin olive oil
1 tb Butter
1 md Onion, quartered, sliced
2 cl Garlic, minced
1/2 c Chicken, rabbit or
-game bird stock
1 lb chicken, rabbit, game bird
-livers
2 tb fresh herbs; chopped
1 c Dry white wine
3/4 c Italian or French bread
-crumbs
2 tb Fresh parsley, chopped

The livers used will depend on the luck of the hunt: goose, duck,
grouse, partridge ptarmigan, rabbit etc. If needed supplement with
domestic chicken livers.

For the herbs consider a bit of rosemary, a hint of mint, basil,
chervil, chives, lemon balm, marjoram, oregano, sage, savory and/or
thyme.

For the garlic collect wild leeks, ramps or other alliums if
available.

In a cast iron pan over medium heat, heat olive oil and melt butter.
(Better yet use rendered duck and goose fat!) Add the onion and sweat
until transparent. Add the garlic and cook for another 3 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the stock, herbs, and livers.
Cook until the livers begin to brown and are almost cooked to your
taste. Add the white wine and cook it down until only about 1/2 cup
remains. Add the parsley. While stirring the livers, add the bread
crumbs a little at a time until the liquid combines with the crumbs to
form a sauce.

Serve with Italian or French bread to sop up the juices.

I've noted that the good home health aides are more likely to know how
to get the best use from the drawsheets than most hospital staff... they
almost always require the assist of two, while at home, one person can
do it just fine (including myself, actually)....

They probably would.... sometimes they surprise us by what they like and
then by what they turn their noses up at... ;)
