The last month has been a bit crazy. A lot has gone on, so I have not kept up with things on the interwebs and have neglected my blog. I have not made any interesting things for dinner lately....we have been eating out more than any one couple should. We tried the Hind Quarter in town for a steakhouse. While very tasty, I wish there were more menu options for appetizers. I guess that is my fatal flaw of being an Outback Steakhouse girl. We have slowed slightly in consuming food at Phil's Fish Market, even though my husband suggests going there every weekend I am able to keep him at home a lot of the time. We have had Tlaquepaque once during the month of April and it was on the Furlough Wednesday. I picked it up on the way home from visiting Celine. I decided that pastor soft tacos are the way to go. I had a pastor burrito also but the corn tortilla is what makes the flavor profile amazing. Luckily this week we have cooked two wonderful meals that turned out fabulous. We worked together on Sunday to make apple cider marinated pork chops, spiced apples, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Yesterday I made pot pie but with biscuits as topping instead of pie crust. Tonight I will probably make chicken roll ups in honor of Cinco De Mayo and this weekend I am making mac and cheese to take to grandma's house on Mother's Day. I will make ribs tomorrow and I have no idea what I will make on Friday....maybe a pasta with salad. That's it on the food front.
Health issues...my grandma passed out a few weeks ago. Apparently her blood sugar was too low but she didn't know it. Having a low blood sugar for someone that doesn't know what the feeling is has to be the oddest experience. So for my little 87 year old grandma this was probably the worst feeling and experience she could have had. Her medication should be in perfect harmony by now, taking care of her insulin needs for the minimal food she eats. I bought her a purple one touch mini meter in hopes that if she ever starts feeling odd that she tests and realizes that her blood sugar is low before anything bad happens. My uncle from San Diego London, my aunt Cookie, my cousin Sabina, my husband, my mom, grandma, and I were all together on mother's day. It was so sweet. My grandma cooked her butt off and LOVED having everyone together. The main thing that sucks is that no one listens to her. She doesn't like being at home alone all day. That means....someone do something so she's not alone all day. I'm trying my hardest with Den's help to get her to move in with us but she thinks it will hurt my mom's feelings. At this point I don't really care about her feelings because I don't want my grandma in an old folks home and I don't want something bad to happen to her when no one is home.
On another health issue...we've been going to the doctor a bunch to make sure we're healthy. We are also trying to make sure that all of our medication is perfectly done so that everything is perfect as we try to get pregnant. Yes that's right people...hopefully this Blog will also be about a 21st Century mom with 2 dogs that might as well be children and the insanity that ensues. Unfortunately it's going to be a little harder for the 2 of us than it is for other people to conceive. I have a condition called poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Apparently this used to be a reproductive death sentence but now with modern medicine and drugs having a baby can be done pretty easily. So we'll see and maybe in a few months we'll have news.
I think that's pretty much it for April and the beginning of May. I promise to try to be better about recipes and writing something on the blog. It might become baby hysteria or frustration or rants...be warned!
