There are windows but getting a fan into them might not be easy. We have
a bay window, a small window in the door and a slightly larger one over
the sink in the kitchen. The stove is on the wall shared with the living room; I still think outside might be the better option for a frying
project.

I hope you've outgrown both by that time.

Basically, yes. The doctor had hoped to pull the rest of the stitches
out today but the line started separating when the tech tried it. So,
they're still in and the knee area is wrapped up tight again. But, both machines are gone and I'm doing outpatient therapy.

Excellent. I hope the reopened seam doesn't
hurt much.

I hadn't read that.

I think it was in something I read as a kid.

Wasn't it interesting that the recipe writer
suggested using ham as a substitute for the
asparagus? The dish would no doubt be better
made with ham anyway - also some other cheese.

Or maybe not made at all.

Most of the recipes I post are vaguely relevant
to the subject matter of the post. Some, like that
one, are chosen to illustrate a point, but at this
point I'm not sure what point.

I wouldn't go quite that far. (G)

No, a leaf lettuce. Black Seeded Simpson I think the vendor called it,
bought it at the farmer's market.

We have a lot of bridges to cross when we
come to them.

And, all will work out, one way or another. BTW, I don't have your
e-mail address in my system.

Compression wrapping is closing it back up. It's a pain, I'd hoped to be
able to not have the knee wrapped up so much by now. Hoping that Tuesday
it will be resolved so stitches can be taken out and I can get into a
more intense therapy work out.

All I know is that I used to take a minimal extra C suppliment,
increasing when I had bronchitis. One time I tried cutting back after
the bronchitis was over, noticed I was getting more cogestion. Upped the
intake of C and it cleared up. I've kept up a higher intake since,
increasing even more when I get bronchitis.

A rather pointless statement. (G) Point could be that you don't care for zucchini, even in this form?
