Can I Keep It?

Lunch Lady

Hud's been coming home for lunch twice a week.  I use it as an excuse to make fish.  Because fish just doesn't reheat well for him.  And, well, it's tasty.  I cook a full lunch every day and send his portion off to work with him the following day.  It gives him a piece of home and keeps our weight in check.

I've made puttanesca, Provencale, gumbo, corn crab soup, pan fried catfish, and tilapia in a romano/panko crust.  But lately, it's the salmon dishes that turn out the best.

The other day we had grilled barbeque salmon with rosemary potatoes au gratin and shredded brussel sprouts with prosciutto.

 

My favorite was the one last week, though.  Asian salmon with Ponzu/lime brown rice and stir fried asparagus lavished in oyster sauce.

I wonder what I'll do with it next week.  Hmmmm.

Change is in the Air

Last Friday, the winds blew in a change in the weather. We awoke to temperatures in the eighties.  A full twenty degrees cooler than the average around here.  

The kids were frisky.  It hasn't been this lovely in months.  Boudreaux was all smiles.

Zoe felt better than ever.  She even insisted on going to the park with Hud and Boudreaux.

Zali wanted to go for a walk, but he settled for chasing Bou and Simone around the backyard.

Hud came out to enjoy the day, but he was so into the book, Gone Girl, that he hardly noticed it.

The toad lilies are blooming brightly after the storms.

All of the yard was heaving a sigh.  The drought is lifted.

Feeling Better

Zoe's been doing fantastic on the new med, so we went in for a second drip on Tuesday.

Hud got to come sit and read with us.  He took an extra couple of days off to have a five day weekend.  Now he's staring down a vicious two day work week.  The horror!

Hud got a little hungry as we waited for the medication to drip into her system.  Or maybe he got bored.  It takes a little over two hours to complete a treatment.  He hopped down to the Sonic and got a breakfast burrito and some tater tots.  Zoe, who was sound asleep under sedation, awakened immediately and was rewarded with a tater tot or two.  Then? She crashed again.  

She won't ever be well, but she is feeling better.  And that is what makes us happy for now.
