Did it get you out of cooking Christmas dinner? I hope so-hope you had a nice dinner, cooked by someone else.
Great news! Hopefully the new year will be a much better year for you and you family.I won't scare you with the gnarly pictures, but I got my stitches out TODAY! Yay!!!
Overall, my hand is relatively flexible, although there is still an enormous amount of swelling internally.
So far, so good!
What cookie is your favorite?Yes, as a matter of fact, it did! Also, I got to pick our meal, and so we had pan-seared filet mignon, (paired with a lovely local red wine) homemade garlic mashed potatoes, homemade mashed sweet potatoes, Hawaiian rolls, green beans, corn and for dessert were my favorite cookies!
I offered to help...!
I hope your dinner was lovely as well!
LOL I did indeed “exercise” my hand! That’s why we are friends - great minds think alike!Did you “exercise “ your hand by pointing out to the cooks, that could use a bit more butter, the meat needs turning, etc.
Glad healing is moving along.
Thank you! Happy New Year Y’all! (That’s Okie )Great news! Hopefully the new year will be a much better year for you and you family.
Hauoli Makahiki Hou (Happy New Year)!
It’s an ooooooold family recipe; originally it used shortening and oleo, but it’s been updated, and I can vouch for the yummy! If they are not over baked, these will be soft and brownie-like, with caramel notes from the brown sugar and butterscotch chips!What cookie is your favorite?
But now you lost a great talent.......how many of us can insult and agree with someone at the same time??????LOL I did indeed “exercise” my hand! That’s why we are friends - great minds think alike!
At least I don’t accidentally “fly the bird” anymore when I try to make a “thumbs up”!!!
