No leg updates. Just food.

I love corned beef and cabbage. I never ate it growing up. I'm trying to make up for it as an adult. I had some as an early celebration of st. Patrick's day. Which I've never celebrated. 

This was made in a slow cooker by Mrs. Pesqueira. (Bad pics alert)

There's also potatoes and carrots. This was really good, especially with mustard.

I've had groceries picked up for me, which I will be eternally grateful for. But I found out about peapod searching around on the Internet, about 5 years too late it seems. It's pretty great, I used it for the first time this week. It went off without a hitch. I ordered a lot of fruits and vegetables, which I was nervous about, because I didn't want to be stuck with old or moldy stuff. It was all fresh.

So, here's a salad with spring mix and cucumber and broccoli and radish and green pepper. I used the flash this time just because. And as a result this salad looks like it should be hanging out with Fiona Apple and a bunch of models in a sleazy hotel room. Ya know. Like the music video for Criminal. Remember the 90's?

And finally, a friend from the IRS found out that I had never had oxtail before. And I've wanted to. So they went to Faye's in amityville, and sent me over some. It was great. I love plantains and rice and beans, and the oxtail was marrow city. It was very similar to the lamb neck I made way back when. Super lip smacking savory marrow flavor and tender meat.

 

Yum yum yum.

Shower me with your love

Well, since the last time I wrote, my splint has come off, and a hard cast has gone on. 

Red. My favorite color. 

Now a self portrait, titled "waiting for ride listening to Kissing a Fool while wearing cast and mustache"

So along with my splint, the sutures came out. So instead of frankenleg:

Just some scars. 

The biggest news is that I bought some stuff to be able to take a shower, because I was losing my mind. It had been exactly 4 weeks of washcloths and spray wet/dry shampoo I got from the hospital. 

I got a special plastic vinyl boot for my leg, a chair, a brush, a hand held shower head, and a little moveable holder for it. I also got a bathrobe for the first time in my life, because showering is a workout that needs a break before getting dressed. It's all worth it to feel clean and good. Here's a distorted pic of the set up:

That's the boot on the chair. The stuff around the hole is really tight rubber.

As for food, it's been the usual, oatmeal, smoothies, tuna, sardines, salads, et cetera. Also delicious meals that I've been lax taking pictures of. I only have 2. 

The first is eggplant parmigiana that is a throwback to my awful food pic days:

It was so good.

Next, better picture, is roast pork, potatoes, carrots and peas. This was something else.

That's all. I'll try for more food next time.
