Care, IP Adjustments,

I'm a bit gobsmacked at the moment, I contacted a company that help caregivers and was told I would be expected to have them twice a week for a minimum 3 hour visit. They charge hourly at $33 an hour. They must be joking. Or at least in my case. That would mean my bowling would cost me $211 a week. I thought these places were supposed to help not bleed us dry.

Friday night I cooked the Shrimp and Asparagus Linguine which I posted yesterday. I adapted it and

cooked it in the Instant Pot. I started by cooking the asparagus in chicken broth. I then saved that broth, topped it up to make a cup again and turned on the IP. I sautéed the peppers and garlic and added some basil (only had dried). I then added the broth together with the pasta. Turned on the Pressure Cooker for 9 minutes. I did a quick release then added the shrimp and hot sauce, turning the Sauté function on again. Once the shrimp was just about done I added the cooked asparagus pieces and served it. Delicious and the juices were worth either using a spoon for or getting some crusty bread. I went to the Victoria St. Market to get the peppers, they were very expensive, cost me over $34. Well, yes, I did buy Bienstich and Dobos Torte, some bananas, a cob of fresh corn and so on. I was thinking of buying some sirloin steak which looked really good, but didn't. Now I am thinking about going back tomorrow (Saturday).

Think ladydog and Zoey are coming over at lunchtime today, hope so.

Have a great weekend/
