Tuesday, February 5, 2013, 4:32:21 PM- Attempting Something New For Me ..... | ||||||
Hello Luvvies, I am attempting something new here and would like to share it with you. I never have tried eating an Avocado before I came to the US, apart from when it is in Guacamole. I recently have eaten some Avocado's and have found that I like them, I like the nice nuttiness flavour. So I have been reading some gardening books lately (primarily to occupy my mind over recent events). Anyway I read this one book and it had a little section on Growing an Avocado Plant From a Pit, so I thought I would give it a try. The book said: To grow an Avocado plant: first insert 3 matches or toothpicks halfway into an Avocado pit. Suspend the pit by the toothpicks across a jar/glass of water so that the base of the pit just reaches the water, - so having eaten the Avocado and keeping and washing the pit this is what I did. [IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/2013%20%20Plants%20etc/001_zpse841ad45.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/2013%20%20Plants%20etc/002_zps950e78eb.jpg[/IMG] After 2 - 8 weeks fleshy white roots will appear from the pit's base. So we shall see what happens and I shall post the plants progress. FYI - This is an indoor plant! Elle x | ||||||

Another email from my daughter regarding her Nan/My Mum. Hi ya mummy, All is good this end, nan very chirpy today, and hooray she finally had a number two yesterday and again today, with no sapository , we all got told off as 5 of us were round the bed and they only allow 3 max, lol, she in good spirits and no more tummy ache, so good good, things r finally going into place regarding nans aids etc, and home help is arranged for the evenings, no date yet tho, Again the rest of the email is for me & Rocky I had a text from my daughter today saying that my Mum shall be leaving the hospital later today and will be staying at my sisters. My Mum is by all means NOT cured as it cannot be BUT she is feeling better and that is why she now requires home help and visiting nurses so she will at least be comfortable and her home care carefully monitored. I am trying to phone the hospital again today to speak with my Mum - I have been trying now for a few days and I haven't been able to yet and that damn well sucks - I shall be trying again in a little while as per nurses instructions ........

Sunday, February 3, 2013, 9:15:56 PM- Me Cooking Again ...... | ||||||
Well it was Friday and I decided to make a stew in my 5 quart slow cooker/crock/stock pot This is what I did: Got my veggies I wanted together ......... And the meat I had bought (never tried this meat before) [IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/Baking%20and%20Cooking%202013/013_zps96fde5d1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/Baking%20and%20Cooking%202013/014_zpsffaa7566.jpg[/IMG] Chopped the veggies all up ........ Different cutting board and chopped up the meat - then threw it all in my crock pot ......... [IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/Baking%20and%20Cooking%202013/015_zps93556969.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Ellefoxie/Baking%20and%20Cooking%202013/016_zps606e941d.jpg[/IMG] What I used: 1 Yellow Squash 1 Courgette Some Celery 3 Parsnips 3 Carrots 2 Turnips 2 Medium Onions 1.4 lbs Chuck Tender Roast (which I cut up and put in a large bowl and mixed it all up with some flour, salt & pepper and then browned it in a frying pan before putting it in the pot). 2 OXO (stock) cubes, Approx 1 pint of water mixed in with some mustard water. I also threw in some already cooked potatoes and some peas I had as leftovers. 7 hours later a lovely stew to come home to after the grocery shopping excursion. There you have it ....... Turned out nice again ~~ | ||||||

Hello luvvies I had to start cooking & baking again, therapeutic for me, I need to keep busy so this is something I made yesterday - I was meant to do some reading but decided to get my baking stuff out again, my kitchen stuff was put aside for a while, what with the move and stuff and then looking after the inlaws and Christmas etc and then the big blow that came with my Mum being in Hospital and finding out the dreaded news (previous blogs). Ta Da ....... Lo and behold this is the outcome ....... CHERRY CHIP CAKE SLAB: Ready to go in the oven ..........

Another group from Denver, Colorado. I heard this song a little while ago and I must say I like it. To me it is a simple song/tune and yet so effective, you just cannot tap your feet or fingers to the beat lol. Well, some of you may - lol. | ||||||

Thursday, January 31, 2013, 7:50:32 PM- Update ......... | ||||||
An update today is basically the same as yesterday on my Mum. Here is an excerpt from my daughters daily updating email: Hi ya mummy, Just a short one, not much to tell, Nan was sitting in chair today, they didn't let me in so I waited till their back was turned and sneaked in, they knew I was there coz nan is right behind the reception desk, only had 10 min to myself with her when the tribe arrived, (Meaning my so-called sister & family). but she had a lil walk about and is eating well, doctor came and said her sodium levels are low, so they r looking into that, she has steroids every 2 days only for 4 days to c how she responds, other than that she doing alright. Lots of love n hugs Mwah xxx ***************************************************************** This song I have put in as it is a tune that my Mum & Dad used to dance to when they went to the local Legion place or one of their wine meetings and then they would noth come home a little worse for wear lol. My dad passed away in 1986, He went in for an aneurysm to be removed - operation was a success but he never woke up from the anaesthetic. | ||||||

Wednesday, January 30, 2013, 9:38:32 PM- ........... January 2013 part 2 .................... | ||||||
So this month is turning into a nightmare month ........ 2 weeks ago my 2 daughters phoned me from England to tell me that my mum whom I had not been able to contact for a long while (she was staying at my sister's all over the holiday period and my sister did not tell me - but that is another story) ... well back to the phone call ...... my Mum was admitted to a hospital as a result of some tests she had done ....... it now turns out that my Mum has got Bone Cancer, the Bone Cancer is NOT curable but is treatable, the Doctor cannot say for sure at the moment how long she has left, could be a few weeks, a few months or up to 5 years, it all depends on how her body reacts with the medications. Needless to say a lot of crying was going on both by my daughters and myself. I managed not to cry for the past two days until now while I am telling you, the other days have been very tearful, and yes I did have a meltdown. Have you ever just found yourself on the floor crying uncontrollably ??? I did!!! I have managed to speak with my Mum at the hospital and that is far more than I can wish for at this time. She sounds fine but she has a little sniffle thing going on and the Cancer ward she is in are suffering from the sickness bug going around. Why am I telling you??? Because a good few of you are my friends, some just like to read others blogs, some gloat and are happy because I am unhappy (they can go **** themselves) and some are just interested to what goes on with some people ...... I do not care who reads this blog, it brings me some consolation writing it down. This is all for now on this blog. I Will keep you updated if you like. I will still do blogs on other subjects but this I wanted to share - sorry if it upsets some people. Carnations for my Mum .......
