We needed a quiet day after traveling for two days. I am not doing well riding in the car...about an hour from home I crawled into the back seat and slept. The pain was too much.
I did some laundry on Wednesday and put a few things away, had a nap and we cooked supper together. A Philly Cheese concoction on pretzel buns....a double batch was made so that the next time we can just heat it up and not cook!
*******
Philly Pretzel Buns
Brown a pound of hamburger
Add 1 cup of beef broth and three tablespoons of A 1 Steak sauce. I save the other cup of broth and freeze it for next time
Simmer until mixture is reduced
Slice pretzel buns in half, top with half the mixture and cheese we like mozzarella
It makes four servings so I freeze the rest for a no cook day.
Broil until cheese melts.
I served it with pickles and carrot sticks.

I am finishing up my book for book club...I have read it before but it is a fun second read.
Neighbor and good friend Jolynn had a hysterectomy yesterday in Duluth for Endometrial Cancer. Her daughters report she is doing okay, there will be no results on the status of the cancer until next week. So she is heavy on my mind.
I hope you fell better today. Get rested. Seems like when things are bad, we notice others in a bigger situation like your dear friend. Wishing you joy.
ReplyDeleteHopefully very soon, the MRI will determine what needs to be done to take care of the pain. Sorry about your friend who had the surgery...Prayers that they were able to get all of the cancer and she will get the needed treatments for a healthy life. Your Philly cheese meal sounds great and how nice to have extra to put up for a later meal. I love windmills and this one magnifies the beauty of this pictures, in front of the clouds...
ReplyDeleteWishing all the best to your friend Jolynn. I do hope she gets good news.
ReplyDeleteOof, I'm glad you are able to nap/sleep with the pain. Take care!
We all need an occasional day with nothing to do. Today is that day this week for me. My plan is sewing, reading, a nap - and eating leftovers. Of course that all could change once "the boss" is awake. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe recipe sounds interesting, and there is nothing better than to have a quick meal in the freezer too. Prayers for your friend for quick healing.
ReplyDeleteI hope your friend is cancer free.
ReplyDeleteJolynn is in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteYou are going through a very rough time. I hope for the best for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that your pain is so bad. I sure hope some results are in soon for you and they can take care of that pain. I will pray for your friend too.
ReplyDeleteThose sandwiches sound delicious. I often order Philly cheese sandwiches if we go out.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
I'm sorry about your friend. Hopefully the news will be good. You need a rest day.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you can get help to get rid of your pain. Taking it easy at home sounds like a good plan. Having prepared meals to freeze makes the bad days easier, planning meals is one of the things I really dislike. Prayers sent up for your friend.
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts to all.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely photo
Thinking of you and your friends and family.
ReplyDeleteThe pain is too much for me to make long car rides anymore. I was lying in the back seat on a trip to Minneapolis years ago. Took me a week to recover so that did me in for long trips after that. So sorry you had to go through that.
ReplyDeleteI really pray your neighbor will be okay. I hope you're having a beautiful, chilly fall day like we are here.
Just wondering is it legal to lay on the back seat and sleep, my did that once while on a long drive home she was in a great deal of pain and here it is not legal but she was in so much pain she didn't care.
ReplyDeleteI hope today is the restful and quiet day that you need just to recuperate.
ReplyDeleteAround here anything with broiled cheese on top is a hit and if there happens also to be bacon, well... double hit.

LD....I didn't realize you had so far of a journey. It was to get home and cook and eat.
DeleteI can do long drives anymore either. Just too much. I will pray for your friend...and you, and FarGuy
ReplyDeleteThinking of you on what sounds like a few difficult days,
ReplyDeleteThe sandwich sounds good....the pain for traveling, not so much. I hope your friend is cancer free after this surgery.
ReplyDeleteYikes, a friend of mine just went through this over the summer. Her outlook is good and I hope your friend has the same outcome.
