Ninja Snowman, Medical Issues,

I believe I have mentioned that I am not a very good photographer. However, I finally got pix of the Ninja Snowman, although his head looks a bit thinner than it was when I first saw him. I don't remember him leaning over so much either.

 Matt said there was a dog in the window behind it strenuously objecting to me taking the photograph. When I finally looked up, he was just a little white dog but rather cute and barking his head off.

Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything from the doctor about my X-ray so assume I won't hear anything until Monday.I think she needs to get more help otherwise people are going to get fed up and go elsewhere. I phoned them yesterday about something unrelated and haven't heard from them. OK, if it's urgent, one can always go to Emergency I guess, but... Apart from anything else Emergency is usually overcrowded anyway. The government are cutting back on medical care. Maybe so they can send troops to fight ISIS or something. You can imagine what I think of that. I have no doubt I am not alone. We used to contribute a small payment to our medical services, for some reason they stopped that. It was the same in the UK. We used to pay for a health stamp, but they stopped that too. Maybe they figure it costs too much to administer.

Been thinking a lot about asparagus lately. I even paraphrased a line from poetry, And in spring a woman's fancy, lightly turns to thoughts of asparagus. Yes I know, it doesn't scan or anything, but I am sure you know where I am coming from. Anyway, I saw this recipe and decided to post it. You can save it til the spring if you wish.

Cheesy Baked Asparagus

Just a Pinch by Janet Crow

Servings 2-4


When I was going through treatments for cancer 3 years ago I learned a lot about the foods I needed
to eat and asparagus was one of them. I would make this at a minimum of once a week and it is absolutely delicious. I even got my husband hooked on asparagus with this recipe

1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
3 Tbs butter, melted
1 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 Cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp house seasoning ((equal parts garlic powder, onion powder and pepper...combine and store in an airtight container)

Line a baking sheet with some tinfoil. Place the asparagus on the baking sheet and drizzle with the melted butter. Sprinkle the house seasoning and parmesan cheese over the top. Place in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove and top with the mozzarella cheese and a little sprinkling of italian seasoning over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese and let it begin to brown.

Have a great day
