Day 23 part 2 with a Grinch and Red Hats

Watching the Grinch tonight, Ma.  Remember that Christmas season when Evan the cat came in and started watching and he didn't leave when the first commercial came on, he stayed and watched the entire thing.  Then he did it again a year later.  I'll post the picture tomorrow.

So far it's okay watching it. I know the first week you were in the hospital you watched it with one of the nurses and then in the ER when you went back in and again the night you were somewhat coherent.  3x this season, Mom.

Someone would think you were the one nuts for the Grinch and not me!

We went through the Red Hats today. Not to do anything with yet, just to....be with you and, for me, to be with old friends. My top hat that Lynn gave me when I moved from pink hats to red hats and Barney's hat.  Joyce still remembers that very fondly and said Barney loved it.

Haven't come across your lampshade hat. That's down in the garage, I think.

It felt good remembering good stuff and you in those hats.

paprika bendl - Paprika Chicken

My speciality. I found this recipe in an unusual book in my senior year in highschool and we gave it a try. I've adapted it over the years (reducing the paprika so we aren't reaching for a pitcher of water or milk like Jonathan Harker was). This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
