Today's coffee adventure

I just started brewing a pot of chocolate cappuccino flavor coffee. I'm gonna mix it with a packet of caramel cappuccino powder, a splash of birthday cake flavored syrup and oat milk to cool it down. It's gonna be really yummy .

I chatted with my mom for almost 45 minutes this morning. We talked about food, especially things I miss from Chicago like beef dips with sweet peppers. She told me to look for Buona beef at Meijer but they don't have it. And I can't find a decent pizza. Detroit style is ok but Chicago style is my kind of thing.

But there's places in my state unavailable in Chicago that I really enjoy. Qdoba Mexican eats is superb. And there are plenty of soul food restaurants that have fried plantains and ox tail stew. And I can get some of the best fried catfish ever.

She thinks my birthday plans are childish and stupid but I'm really excited for the party. I gotta get supplies next month.#coffeeadventures #foodieadventures

Dinner tonight

Half of a rotisserie chicken with cheesy broccoli. I prefer dark meat so I got the thigh. I dipped it in ranch dressing. My only complaint is that the skin wasn't crispy. But it was yummy. The cheesy broccoli was delicious.

Dinner tonight

I got half of a rotisserie chicken from cooking class so I'm going to heat it up for dinner tonight. I'm gonna make roasted butternut squash to go with it. I'm making myself a pot of coffee right now. I'm gonna mix it with hot chocolate mix and birthday cake flavored syrup and oat milk. It's gonna be awesome. I took 2 tramadol at 2pm so I can take more at 6pm. My hips and back are at 6 so I'm functional. Mostly.

Cooking class went ok

I was wrong, I have one more class next week. Today we made chicken and mango wraps. There was a spread for the tortillas made of peanut butter, cream cheese and soy sauce. The chicken was shredded rotisserie chicken. We used canned mango. The filling also has coleslaw without the dressing so just cabbage and carrots. I was extremely hungry so I had 2 wraps . They were pretty tasty. I only thought it needed more chicken.

While I was there my QPP texted me to reschedule our trip to the cider mill. We're going tomorrow. And my doctor's office called me to schedule my telehealth appointment for this Wednesday at 330pm. I'm getting a script for 100mg tramadol but I have to have an appointment first.

I've got therapy in 43 minutes. I should have done some journal prompts but my caregiver was busy over the weekend. Maybe I'll do one for Thursday.

Dinner tonight was epic

Pork roast with potatoes 2 ways and carrots.

I wanted mashed potatoes even though I had mini potatoes in the crockpot. I used instant mashed potatoes but I used broth from the pork. The meat was so tender! It fell apart when I tried to cut it. It was a little dry so I put some Japanese BBQ sauce on it. My caregiver said she really likes it. The baby potatoes are buttery and soft. I am very proud of myself.

Little afternoon snack

I was craving something cheesy so I grabbed 2 gf tortillas and put some shredded cheese in between and microwaved for a minute. I sliced it up and topped it with sour cream. Oh gosh it was really yummy.

3 more hours until dinner is ready. I added some onion soup mix. I don't think I'll have the energy to make roasted butternut squash. I'll save it for some time soon. I'm gonna have to order some more oat milk soon.

I'm gonna look on Amazon for GF French fried onions. I want to make my favorite recipe, cheesy chicken and broccoli tater tot casserole. I've already got 2 cans of GF cream soup.

Finally able to make my coffee

I mixed cold brew coffee with vanilla cappuccino powder, mud wtr, birthday cake flavored syrup and oat milk. It's pretty yummy.

I had a turkey sandwich for lunch. I had one sub roll left so I put cheese and ranch dressing with the turkey. It was delicious.

I checked the roast and it looks good. 4 and a half hours left. I'm gonna put the butternut squash in the oven when there's just one hour left. I might make us some yummy smoothies with dinner. That way our dinner will be a MyPlate meal.

Good morning

I put dinner in the crockpot about 20 minutes ago. It's gonna be awesome. But right after fucking around the kitchen my hips are trash. I took 2 tramadol. I've got a bottle of sugar free juice to finish before I can go get my cold brew. I'm gonna mix my coffee with some mud wtr and cappuccino powder and birthday cake flavored syrup and oat milk. It's gonna be really yummy. I feel really yucky right now. Thank goodness I don't have to go anywhere today. I've got my last cooking class tomorrow. My skull just started to hurt. Fun times.

Dinner tonight was...ummm... A thing

I heated up the carnitas. I used a GF tortilla and it broke when I tried to roll it up. So I smeared sour cream and shredded cheese on the bits . I took a bite of meat and a bite of the tortilla and it was delicious. The tortilla was very yummy.

I sat on the floor when I ate which was a bad choice. Now both of my hips hurt like hell. I took 2 tramadol and she put CBD cream on my back and hips. She made a new rule: I'm not allowed to sit on the floor anymore. So now I have to sit on the couch next to her. I'm always afraid that my existence bothers her.

She's trying to clean my big thermos cup and it's moldy. So she said I'm not getting it back tonight. Luckily I have some cold brew coffee in the fridge so I can take my meds. I just took my lantus. I gotta check my BG in an hour. I'll take my night meds at 930pm.

I feel miserable. Emotionally and physically. It's been a rough day.

Oh thank goodness

I asked my caregiver if she wanted to eat at 6pm and she asked if I'm gonna feel good enough to stand in the kitchen. I said maybe. She asked me what I was planning to make and I said pork carnitas. She said she was gonna make us dinner tonight. I explained it's very easy. I'm gonna turn mine into a burrito with cheese and sour cream and garlic and herb seasoning. It's gonna be awesome, especially since she's making it for me. I don't often get other people to cook for me so it's a nice treat. It shows me how much she appreciates me. I love that stupidhead so much.
