Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and baked acorn squash. Nope, no pics.

I've posted my meatloaf recipe here before. I like to make extra mashed
potatoes so I can make mashed potato pancakes. Even if I don't do that,
guess what? Mashed potatoes freeze well. So does meatloaf.

What did you have for dinner?

I was stocking up by making 10 quarts of spaghetti meat sauce. I
saved some out for dinner and the rest was frozen in 2 cup portions.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

We had a small boneless leg of lamb with roasted butternut squash,
boiled potatoes and green beans. Everything was great. I don't know if
the squash was so goo because it was fresh, if it was a small one or if
it is because I overdid it last year but had not had it for months.

There was enough leftover lamb to make a some curry with hot Jamaican
curry powder and chopped dried apricot along with the sauteed onion and
garlic and chicken broth.

Just a roast chicken - nothing more because of a major toothache last
night, settled down this morning :/ Otherwise I would have made a
salad to go with it.

I add a half a lemon, then about a tsp of butter, some garlic, thyme,
pepper & salt, then the other half of the lemon in the cavity before
tying the bird up, then into the oven.

Yum! That's one of my favorite meals. I like left-over meatloaf both
in its "original" form and also sliced for a sandwich (hot or cold).

I tossed the veggies in melted butter with lots and lots of chopped
garlic, italian seasoning, salt and fresh-ground pepper. The aroma as
they roasted in the cast iron pans had me salivating. I added the
parmesan and let it melt and get crispy brown where it hit the super
hot pan. It was incredible.

The ribeyes were cut off a loin I bought in August, which turned out
to be one of the finest pieces of meat I've ever had. I left the
steaks on the ultra-hot grill till they got crusty on the outside but
were still meltingly tender and juicy.

I needed a light dessert after all that, so sliced fresh apples and
cranberries into a baking dish, tossed them with a wee bit of nutmeg
and cinnamon, poured a few spoonfuls of cider syrup over them, and
just sprinkled some oatmeal on top. Baked till tender and served warm.

It was a cold day, and that meal really hit the spot.

Tonight: chili.

Hi Jill,

A sort of porky love stew with lots of garlic, a bit of chilipotle
seasoning, Carrots, a small turnip, a bit of left over daikon, most of
a medium onion and enough pork broth to be something between soup and
stew.

Served it over rice (grin). It's a crockpot sort and I am sorry but
didnt write down what I did this time. I can *estimate* if that's ok?

All sizes here estimated a day later:

-1.5 lbs pork stew meat (this is largely well marbled but no fat cap,
red not white meat bit definately not bacon cuts!)
- 3 average carrots, chopped to 1.5 inches long
- 1/3 cup chopped daikon
- 1/2 cup diced turnip
- 1 cup diced onion
- 4 fat cloved garlic minced
- 2 cups pork broth (Minors brand, mix with water to make 2 cups)
- 1.5 TS chilipotle blend powder

We set the crockpot on low and let 'her do her thing'.

Dinner tonight was a cup of this over rice (soupy and intended to be
so) with a cut up orange and a cut up cucumber (with russian dressing
for a dip at the side).

Oh and a new breadmachine recipe. A cheesy bread that went over bonkers
at work. I had an excess of milk and felt like baking but had not the
fridge room to store it, so like many of us, I made that random
contribution to the kitchen. We had that bread with it.

That's good but no turkey (blech), and I much prefer pork to beef.
I'd not use chili powder either, nor would I add sugar. I think 6
pounds of meat is a lot unless it's a ragu... and I'd not consider
using preground I'd grind my own. I'd use like three pounds of pork
shoulder chops, often on sale as a family pack. I can't fathom turkey
for an Eyetalian sauce, actually I can't fathom ground turkey for any
use... maybe a very hungry possum or skunk might eat some ground
turkey, but more likely that's crow food. During a rough winter I
feed the crows cheapo hot dogs... I think they'd have to be very
desparate to eat store ground turkey, I know I wouldn't eat any, I may
bring it out to my back field but I'd just as likely dump ground
turkey into my pond as fish food.

Indian at a restaurant: papadums, goat curry, lamb madras curry, naan. A
bottle of Taj and a local IPA. Excellent.

But OB meatloaf: last week, my brother made a three pound smoked
meatloaf, and it was outstanding. I'd never thought or read of smoking a
meatloaf...

Thank you for asking William. I went to the dentist today, sure enough
the toothache was mostly gone come appointment time. They couldn't
actually find the cause, even though I pinpointed the source of the
pain. Their 'quickie' x-ray revealed nothing, so I had a proper x-ray
done elsewhere. I have another appointment in two week's time, so
hopefully the second x-ray will reveal the problem then. The last two
previous appointments 2 years ago also revealed nothing when I
mentioned a bit of a problem in that area... seems strange to me that
the problem isn't obvious, but oh well!

Sometimes I feel like telling them to be done with it and just rip all
my teeth out and give me dentures

Sounds very nice indeed. I have ask - what is a chicken cutlet? I
looked on Wikipedia, but it doesnt actually say what part of the
chicken it is. My best guess is thigh fillet?

I happen to have a Braeburn apple tree in my orchard, but it's still a
bit too young to produce much fruit.

That's a big thing on BBQ groups. Was it rolled and finished with
woven bacon or flat with a bacon weave on top?

It all sounds fantastic to me! I have not heard of cider syrup before,
is that some sort of syrup based on apple juice?

I wouldn't rally expect bacon to have a great texture out of the smoker,
perhaps it does though.

Haven't ever tried it hat way.

Restaurant meal (in Venice, Italy). Just an FYI: I do make panna
cotta and plan to make buttermilk panna cotta on Saturday for a
special occasion, but never thought about using eggplant as a ravioli
filling before. That one was very simple(basically eggplant and
seasonings). I'll try this filling recipe first and see how it goes.
http://www.pasta-recipes-made-easy.c...e-ravioli.html

Gary, if you've never made panna cotta - give it a try. It's easy!
Make it for your DD sometime. Here's one I might use (for
proportions), but won't follow exactly. I will use vanilla extract
instead of vanilla bean seeds, I might use whole milk instead of cream
and I will definitely make individual servings in glasses instead of
unmolding.

If it was an upper tooth, were you having trouble with swollen sinuses
too? Sinus toothaches come and go and hurt like hell. Personal
experience...

I never heard of a "quickie" x-ray... what kind of a denstist does
such a thing? Most dentists these days have moved to digital x-rays,
no film involved to be exposed, developed, and stored, it's actually a
less expensive system, and much faster, the image shows instantly on a
large screen high resolution monitor.

My dentist takes a "quickie" if you go in with a specific tooth
problem. It just zeroes on the tooth in question and probably includes
a tooth on each side too. A proper x-ray is known as a bite-wing. It
covers one side of your mouth, all teeth top and bottom. A more
detailed x-ray is a machine that rotates around your whole mouth and
goes deeper into the roots and jaw. My dentist recommends this one
every 10 years. It will show problems that bite-wings can miss.

I'm wondering if he had a mild gum infection vs an actual toothache.
This can be caused by food trapped where tooth and gum meet and don't
get brushed or flossed out soon enough. Bacteria grows on the trapped
food and can cause soreness. Meat, especially chicken, can start that
within one day of getting left there.

Anyway, I hope Jebus is doing fine now. Having a toothache or a gum
infection is not fun at all.

Broken bones or other injuries I can handle... but toothaches, colds,
flu, hay fever... these things I hate! Anything involving the head and
I'm a pussy

To your question - no, it was a lower tooth... maybe!
The odd thing is I went to the dentist last Tuesday and they couldn't
find a problem with the tooth. I had pointed out this same tooth on
two previous visits and they couldn't find anything then either... so
I'm not clear on what's really going on ATM. I have a doctor's appt on
Monday, so hopefully that might reveal something.

I know for sure I have an infection along my jaw line, it looks like I
have controlled it somewhat with some antibiotics I keep in the fridge
(always handy to have an emergency stash of antibiotics, also
painkillers). I had some oxycontin during the week to keep the pain
down to manageable levels.

I didn't have toothaches per se but quite suddenly became sensitive to
heat and cold, so my dentist recommended Sensodine (telling me the
problem was my gums) and it worked!

Sigh, of course Sheldon... of course...
"quickie" was merely my own description.

Yes, which sounds exactly like what I had at the dentists.
I then had a more detailed X-ray done elsewhere, as the first one
revealed nothing. Looking at the second X-ray - I can't see any
problem either. Not that I'm an expert or anything...

Yeah, I had that done at the dentist this week.

Yep, I also had one of those done last Tuesday, the dentist hasn't
seen the X-ray yet but I have. To me my teeth look fine. I have
something a little unusual going on by the looks of things, because
for the past two or three years the tooth in question has been
painfully sensitive if you bite down on say, steak... bite down in a
certain way and ouch. And yet, on the X-ray the tooth looks fine...
I definitely have an infection (seems to be under control now) along
the jaw line.

>I'm wondering if he had a mild gum infection vs an actual toothache.

I have some sort of infection - but as I mentioned above the tooth
itself has been sensitive for 2 or 3 years.

You should be a dentist Gary, you know a lot about it

Thanks Gary, I appreciate the thought.

Great product.

I was wishing I had some local aesthetic on hand <G>. I reckon that
would have been the only thing to properly dull the pain. I got by on
bourbon, beer, oxycontin and a few other painkillers (yes, I mixed
alcohol with oxycontin, I'm a naughty boy).

I keep a stash of painkillers and antibiotics on hand in the fridge
for emergencies like these. Living out of town makes quick access to
such things difficult or impractical at times.

That's a scary thought - spreading to replacement joints...

That all that's needed for a complaint of localized tooth pain

That's not indicated for localized pain, that'd be way over kill.

Any competant dentist can detect gingervitis visually, actually any
competant dental hygienist can. This sounds more about a case of
someone who hasn't been to a dentist for more than ten years and
doesn't own a toothbrush.

Amoxicillin is not indicated for adults over 50, it's really a
pediatric antibiotic and also used for dogs and cats. Doctors who
prescribe Amoxicillin for adults over 50 have little to no knowledge
of pharmacology (true of most doctors and dentists today). By the
time people reach fifty years old they have developed an immunity to
Amoxicillin, it's one of the most over prescribed antibiotics. I've
been prescibed tons of Amoxicillin, years ago it stopped working for
me but no doctor said anything, just kept prescibing it. I learned
this only recently, about a year ago, from a Rheumatologist, for those
over 50 undergoing dental procedures Clindamysin is indicated.
http://www.drugs.com/amoxicillin.html
http://www.drugs.com/clindamycin.html
Few doctors keep up with ongoing pharmacology education, they rely
entirely on the sales pitches of pharmaceutical sales people... which
ever ones give them the most samples and pens are whose meds they
prescribe for everyone. I suffer from chronic bronchitis and
sinusitis so I often develop infections from excessive mucous.
Amoxocillin does nothing for me, but Augmentin clears up the infection
quickly... I finally got lucky to find a doctor that knows his shit,
most don't, most doctors nowadays are charlatans, they're in it for
the money, they are much better CPAs than they are MDs.
