David criticized me for fussing about the PSWs, but Tuesday morning one came at 7 and Matt would NOT get up. Neither for her or for me. Said he had had a bad night! I don't really think so and anyway he sleeps a lot during the day. I have been assured they will come at 9 tomorrow. We shall see.
Wednesday I have this "stress test" which takes 3 hours. I have now been told I must not drink even decaf coffee for 12 hours before. I can have a light breakfast and take a snack, for after, It's called a Persantine Cardiolite Scan and I will be slightly radioactive after it. If one was travelling by plane, they would give you a certificate to pass you through the check point.
Before he went into hospital Matt complained of toothache. I told his nurse. Tonight he is complaining again so obviously they didn't do anything for him. I just emailed a local dentist and asked if they could assist me.
Ladydog brought me some leeks from the Mennonite stand and I have finally managed to deal with them, boy were they filthy, and chop them up for soup which I am, of course, making in the Instant Pot. Supper is now ready for Wed. night.
I don't actually have a slow cooker any more, I gave it away, but one can use an Instant Pot as a slow cooker. Actually, don't see why I couldn't do this in the Instant Pot anyway.
Slow cooker Spanish chicken
1 Spanish onion halved and sliced
12 large bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
225 g pack chorizo picante, thickly sliced
3 pack pack fmixed colour peppers, cut into chunks
150 g (drained weight) pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives
300 ml dry white wine (serve the rest of the bottle with the meal)
300 ml chicken stock
1 Tbs tomato purée
1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry 1 sliced Spanish onion for about 5 mins until golden.
2. Tip into the slow cooker pot (we used a 6.5-litre model), then fry 12 large bone-in skinless chicken thighs and 225g thickly sliced chorizo picante in the same pan until starting to colour – you will need to do this in two batches.
3. Add to the slow cooker with 3 mixed colour peppers, cut into chunks and 150g pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives.
4. Tip 300ml dry white wine, 300ml chicken stock and 1 tbsp tomato purée into the pan.
5. Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom, then tip into the slow cooker, cover and cook on Low for 6 hrs.

Have a great day, stay well, stay safe.

I do hope Matt's toothache can be sorted. I think it is one of the worst types of pain.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Stress test. Normally when they restrict food and drink they restrict it all - I have never heard of a limitation just on coffee.
My grumpy self would be hanging out for a regular schedule with the PSW's. A schedule which you and Matt could work around.
I gave him some painkillers Sue and then he seemed to forget about it. I have tried to get in touch with the dentist. No time this morning.
DeleteI am dying for a cup of coffee right now LOL.
I think I am getting a regular schedule again, one of my previous regulars is coming in at 9 as usual. Right, now got to shower before he comes.
I hope all goes well with the stress test. Who is this David and why would he criticize you? I hope there is nothing wrong with Matt's teeth because it might be a hassle to have Matt stay in the dentist's chair
ReplyDeleteYes it was OK Birgit except for the time factor. 5 hours instead of 3. I wonder if he will accept being at the dentists or not. He has mentioned his "bad tooth" in the last day or two.
DeleteForgot to answer about David. He is a friend from Waterloo, and it wasn't a severe criticism but he was advising me to be reasonable. I'm not. He writes a blog specifically about birding although he does add other things.
DeleteI am hoping your test went okay. Never heard of anyone having that one before. Matt acts like a two-year old it seems. You must have lots of patience.
ReplyDeleteTook a lot longer than they told me, I wasn't too happy with that. I am surprised, this is the third of 4th time I have had this test.
DeleteUnfortunately no, I am not patient enough Denise. He can't help it.
