Better today but haunted by news of the coal mine explosion. As I said my father and grandfather had some experience of mining to make a living but they both hated it and my father was saved by entering the service and the exptended family moved to So California sort of Grapes of Wrath folk. I heard that one branch of the family had prostitutes which when I was young shocked me but now in my sixties I salute those mothers before me who did what they could to eat. I recognize the orneriness/the wildness in my own character in those women and I am not ashamed anymore.
Leftover chicken from last nights supper. The original meal was baked chicken with dressing made from the left over rolls from Easter dinner. The dressing was very tasty having been made from delicious bread and we ate more dressing than chicken so I was presented with almost all of the breast.
I cubed the breast meat and made a nice gravy from the leftover pan drippings and half a box of broth and when this was made into gravy i added some parsley and steamed vegetables, carrots, celery (sadly no mushrooms) and added them to the gravy. I will make some biscuits and will bake them on top of this chicken hash. I know that this will be very popular.
Everyone in the family is wanting to get thin so there is much less eating between meals and much less desire for junk food. this is so wonderful. Seems as though the push from the Obama White House is having a positive effect. This alone will get me to vote for him again. If my grandkids could get slim and therefore avoid Type 2 diabetes I would stand and cheer. These changes are so exciting because my daughter and her kids tune into the lowest hanging philosophy as it were, very shallow interests mostly in celebrity gossip, reality programs, products presented in the programs they watch. OOH what a bitch-I excuse the kids because they are still young but my beautiful daughter just seems unwilling to do any heavy lifting spiritually.
Enough for today at least for now. Things sound awful re: Afghanistan.
About Me
- Singing Sparrow
- I almost always write in the early morning. I am an aging hippie living with my husband lover, my adult daughter,my almost adult granddaughter looking for her first full time job and my almost teenage grandson and my sister who is 11 months the younger. As the world prepares for a righteous struggle for individual independence and the correcting of the power of corporations to tell how, where and even when to live i seek the lower level where gardens grow and children learn. +++
