My Week.

Quiet day today, not much doing all round. Meant to take the car in for its emissions test but didn't get round to it.

For supper I did the chicken dish from the air fryer booklet again. It is pretty good and this time I used paprika which was better.

Tuesday is going to be busy, Foot Nurse in the morning, lunch with a friend at the Red Lobster and then of course picking up my groceries. Wish they could bring 'em back and put 'em away for me too.

Having made an appointment with the Cannabis lab for Thursday afternoon, they sent me a video to watch which gave me some information I was unaware of. I didn't know I couldn't drive for 4 hours after having a dose. That could be rather inconvenient I think. I still don't really know if I can afford it anyway although I certainly have enough aches and pains. Not that it is likely to occur, but of course one cannot travel outside Canada with it either. Even if it is legal here, it isn't elsewhere yet. Or, not when the video was made. There are quite a few methods of taking it too. I knew of some but not all. Certainly no intention of smoking it, I don't want that nonsense again. I quit smoking once after all, plus it isn't good for one's lungs apparently.

Of course Wednesday is bowling league day. Our team is sitting at #1 at the moment. I wonder how long we can keep that position. I am not hopeful, or trying not to be too much so anyway.

I am often on the lookout for something different for breakfast. This recipe serves 6 but I am sure it would freeze and be reheatable (is that a word). Looks pretty good.

Mushroom, Bacon and Onion Tart

1 refrigerated pie crust circle (from a 15-ounce package)
6 strips bacon
8 oz fresh white mushrooms, sliced (about 2-1/2 cups)
1 cup sliced onion
1 container (8 ounces) sour cream
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp oregano leaves, crushed
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
4 large eggs

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Following package directions, place pie crust circle in a 10-inch tart pan or 9-inch pie plate; trim or flute edge. Bake until just golden, 5 to 7 minutes; cool slightly; set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes.

2. Remove to paper towels; crumble; set aside. Pour off bacon drippings from pan. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until mushroom liquid evaporates, 6 to 8 minutes; cool. In a large bowl beat until smooth sour cream, eggs, salt, oregano and black pepper.

3. Pour over baked crust; top with cooled mushroom mixture; sprinkle with bacon. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 300°F; bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 5 to 7 minutes longer.

Servings: 6

Have a great day

  2. Jo, I sure wish I had your penchant for making meals but I'm making progress. Okay, back to the BBQ grill.

    1. I wish we had a barbecue Stephen. Not allowed in an apartment building. I like cooking and hope it won't hurt so much when I get the cannabis.

  3. Yeah, if you have to smoke it, that defeats all benefits.

    1. Well you don't have to Alex, thank goodness. Sprays, pills, drops.

  4. I've been a regular smoker for 30+ years and it's neither helped pain or damaged my lungs. I'd like to try edibles if I could find some. The voters legalized it in MA but the state is so upset about it that they are dragging their feet about putting everything in place for shops to open. And a lot of towns are voting against having shops too which is frustrating.

    1. I take it you mean of marijuana JoJo. I am surprised you say it hasn't helped your pain. We don't have shops, we have medical clinics.

  5. Good luck Jo - with whichever way you decide to go ... perhaps a good thing the video was sent. Take care H

    1. Yes Hilary, but it looks as though I may not get there on Thursday because of the car repair.

  6. It sounds like a good thing to take before bed to make sure you get a good night's sleep. You wouldn't have to worry about the driving then.

    1. My friend takes it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I basically don't have much pain at night anyway Pinky, during the day is a different thing. Now the comment by JoJo concerns me. She says it doesn't help her pain.

  7. Wonder how it would taste baked in treats. I see that often, although, in most cases I've seen, it's with sugar which can lead to pain. How about in an egg and spinach dish?

    1. No idea Ivy, obviously. Egg and spinach is always good.
