Ulcerative Colitis

After having a flair up, I found out a couple of weeks ago that my niece was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. So far, she has not made out as well as I have.

The majority of her large intestine was removed at Children's Hospital in Boston. She's home now with significant weight loss and hopefully only a temporary bag. She's only 22 and this is devastating for any young person with a full life ahead.

Any and all prayers are welcome.

It's not fair, !! I'm angry, sad ... hopeful...

Back from Maine

Lake Arrowhead in the morning.

Dream

I woke up about ten minutes ago with a clear memory of a dream. I know this does not sound unusual to anyone, but for me, it's highly unusual. I almost never remember my dreams.

I awoke with a smile after a long hug from an old friend.

This is my new favorite trainwreck.

German Pigs in a Blanket

If you're completely unconcerned about your heart, you might like this.

German Pigs in a Blanket:
Prepare the sausage first…
I use sweet Italian sausage.
Coat in egg wash. (Olive oil works in a pinch)
Roll in flour.
Fry until done with a tablespoon of olive oil. Make sure it has a brown crust.
Set aside.
German Pancakes:
I make these somewhat smaller than the usual plate size for this.
Thin slice half an onion and fry on a hot flame in two tablespoons of olive oil.
Remove onion from skillet after browning.
Keep skillet hot.
Mix one cup of flour, one jumbo egg, (or two small) and milk until you have a thin batter. (Maybe two and a half to three cups of milk)
Pour enough batter into the skillet to cover the center of the pan.
Add some prepared onions to top. (Minced garlic is nice too…)
Wait for center to bubble up and flip.
Remove and wrap around sausage.
Serve.

Victory is mine!!!
