I tried 'cooking' chicken broth Wednesday. I eventually succeeded.
Ditto nuclear rice.
San Geraldo insisted on helping with the chicken broth today.
I am so looking forward to Jamaican black cake Friday afternoon.
And some wine!

| WEDNESDAY: ABREFÁCIL (EASY OPEN) CHICKEN BROTH. |
 |
| THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM. |
 |
| MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY-POUR, AND NOT EASY-SPILL, IF IT HAD BEEN MORE EASILY OPENED. |
 |
| RICE: ONLY 90 SECONDS IN THE MICROWAVE. BUT NOT 60 SECONDS... AS I DID. |
 |
| YES, DUDO, I KNOW I DON'T BELONG IN HERE. |
 |
| SAN GERALDO TO THE RESCUE THURSDAY AFTERNOON. APPARENTLY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SNIP ONE END WITH SCISSORS. DO YOU SEE A PICTURE OF SCISSORS ANYWHERE ON THE BOX?!? |
OH MY! Cheers to the liquid diet today, Mitch! Always have a kitchen scissors handy....can't live without them.
ReplyDeleteI feel your hunger!
Hey, this tome tomorrow you will be basking in chocolate!!
Jim:
DeleteWe do, of course, have kitchen scissors (because, of course, Jerry bought them; it never would have crossed my mind). But the makers of that broth didn't draw scissors on the box. What am I, a mind-reader?!?
Spanish scissors might different looking ~~~ not!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteGoing by the broth box, Spanish scissors are invisible. I might have figured it out had there been pictures.
Praise be to San Geraldo for being the Kitchen Savior!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteOf course, given the damage i had already done to that broth box, it still poured all over the counter.
YOU WILL SURVIVE! dudo will help you get well tomorrow after the procedure.
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteAh, all Dudo cared about were his treats and his (my) lap!
interesting diet
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteI wouldn't recommend it.
Dudo was rightly concerned for you.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI think he was more concerned for his own safety.
Poor Mitchell, well at least you'll enjoy your chocolate reward in the end.
ReplyDelete(Blame it on John Gray's influence.)
Cranky:
DeleteOh, please, you don't need any help from John Gray.
It looks like a raccoon broke into that container.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteI've seen raccoons dismantle a big-top bird feeder. A raccoon would have done a much better job.
Here's to wine and cake on Friday!! (Also to good test results). I'm not ending a special diet on Friday, but I think I'll join in on the wine and cake, anyway. You see, I'm helping. :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle:
DeleteOne piece of cake Friday. Two today (Saturday). Wine tonight!
Btw Mitchell, to be serious for a moment: Thank you for discussing a subject far too many find embarassing or 'gross'. Colorectal cancer is a fact of life and the more people who know about it, the fewer people we lose to it.
ReplyDeleteCranky:
DeleteThanks for that. It's out of character (or at least it used to be) for me to talk about these things. For me, colonoscopy is a no-brainer. It can actually PREVENT cancer. What an opportunity.
Did they say not to eat/drink anything red? Chicken broth and rice aren't that bad, now are they? When Bill & I have this done we both just drink gatorade the day before... don't seem to have much appetite. Hope it all goes well and you'll be eating cake soon.
ReplyDeleteSharon:
DeleteYes, two days before was white chicken, white fish, broth, rice. So, really, that day was not bad at all ... except that I had to "cook." The day before was liquids only, but that still allowed broths.
How's the cake? Any left over?
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteOur cake is gone, but there are a couple of more loaves that are SUPPOSED to go to friends. Do you think they'll make it?
