The Coffee House

If there a danger of hypoglycemic ... man ... Gary would be on two diets as there isn't enough food in one. Gary's ex was a Type 1 diabetic ... hypoglycemic was a very real and daily threat. Speaking of food, yesterday Gary made Chicken Fettuccine for his first time. It was very very tasty, it came out well, but Gary and Mary Lou just clogged up 70% of their remaining arteries and veins. Never again will Gary use that recipe: two cakes of cream cheese, two sticks of butter, a cup ana half of whole milk, a cup ana half of Parmigiana Cheese ... my heart took a beating just in the preparation.

Cook didn't eat at all yesterday, she completely stressed Gary out as all day he tried different foods, tri-tip, store roasted chicken, wet dog food, ham off the bone, cooked ham, gravy ... nada. This morning she ate quite a bit (at least for her) of store roasted chicken ... but no ham. She seems much more energetic than the past week or so. In the past, if she heard an odd noise in the back, she would blast out the doggie door to investigate. Since she has lost hearing in both of her ears, that practiced has stopped ... but last night ... in the middle of the night she blasted out the door barking. Maybe a dream ... but the fact that she did it Gary hopes is a sign of improvement. Mary Lou and Gary have enjoyed Cook's Blasts ... we have wooden floors and much of her acceleration is retarded as she peels-out on the slippery floors seeking traction. (The turns were wild.)

There is plenty of leftovers, so if anyone desires some Chicken Fettuccine worthy of stopping your heart, PM Gary.

We crack up when this happens to our dog. He's running in place on the hardwood floor, feet flying and getting nowhere - we call it Scooby-Do ing.
 
Glad Cook is showing improvement.
 
Gary doesn't know if it's the calm before the storm type of thing or if it is truly an improvement. Thank you for the sentiment.
 
Anybody know what this is?

That is a Ballon plant after its flowering stage. Next it will turn color and eventually burst open with seeds for next year.
Balloon Plant, Gomphocarpus physocarpus – Master Gardener Program
Yep ... a giant Milkweed or in this case Milktree plant. It produces hairy balls (above).

My grandma used to call them monkey balls. I drew them once at the farm and grandma said, oh, honey, you shouldn't be drawing monkey balls...we would laugh are butt off.
