Welcome back!

I know that I just mentioned the Olympics.

Those athletes have to be in very good condition in order to take part in their chosen competition. I bet they don’t have to look for any type of fat burner to get in shape.

Of course they do not sit on their couch and watch TV either. All of the exercise they must do is something that I cannot imagine in any way shape or form. They do have my admiration for their self control over how they use their bodies. Me, I like food a little too much. Exercise…..not able to do that.

I just hope that no more people get hurt seriously, or not seriously. I realize that each contestant is standing in for their own country, I just hope that each country appreciates what these athletes are doing. It is something that I cannot do. I do enjoy watching a lot of what is being done. I like gymnastics, iceskating, and some other things. I just wish that I could do only a little bit myself.

So in another way, I do also envy them their abilities.

have you heard? When I last checked, the USA had 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals.

I couldn’t believe it when that young man lost his life just practicing for that sled event. I feel sorry for his family.

I hope and pray that no more young people have serious accidents happen while this event or any other event go on. It makes me wish that I had the money to get a room at one of the Toronto hotels, so I could be there in person and watch. These athletes practice so hard, and have worked for so long that they should be cheered on by anyone who watches. It is something that anyone from any country should be able to recognize and appreciate.

Yes, there they go again. I realize that it is also the name of a song, but it fits the situation.

The politicains on the TV are at it full time. Our state governor is trying to brag about what he has done while in office. I wish that he would get some weight loss supplements to shrink his inflated opinion of himself.

He is personable enough, he can be pleasant looking, he can be very charismatic. I still do not like him and what he has done. Of course that can be said about a lot of politicians can’t it? Opinions are out there, for everyone has them. This has been my opinion.

Notice that I didn’t give any name? I ain’t no dummy.

Have you ever heard this before? Well, of course you have.

I know that there are a lot of people out there that could use home gyms to get rid of their very own personal fat head.

I have met a few of these people. They seem to be so full of them selves that they are unable to think that anyone else has a valuable opinion, or thought. The main trouble with this is that most of the ones who have this condition are politicians. UG

By the way, do you realize that it is getting to be political season again? The political ads are all over the TV, and each commercial is another pain.

I believe that I have mentioned before that we have cats.

Well, one has a ‘cattitude’. In other words, she is a cat with attitude.

She has this thing about being ignored. She does not like it. When my husband is getting dressed in our bedroom, she will do various things to get his attention. Well, yesterday she decided that she did not like me ignoring her and she bit me. Right on the rump.

When I hollered about her doing this, my husband broke down laughing and told me that she does it to him all of the time. Amazing how such a little critter can have so many little things that she does. She does make us smile.

Well, the time came for my husband to go in for his after surgery check up.

He got good news and will not be expected to return until 3 months. He is feeling a lot better than he was before the surgery. His pain is almost totally gone. He seems to have more energy than he did before.

The thing that we are working on now is his blood sugar.

I do truly enjoy good egg rolls.

My favorite restaurant, however, uses a type of seasoning that I don’t like. So, I make some of my own egg rolls.

1 head of cabbage shredded finely
2 large cans of boneless chicken / or an equal amount of pork or shrimp that is:cooked, make sure that the meat is shredded for even distribution.
1 large can of oriental vegetables -chop finely also after draining
2 packages of egg roll wraps
soy sauce - lots of it
1 Tbsp of flour made into a loose paste to seal the wrappers

Gently saute the cabbage in a large frying pan, seasoning with soy sauce. When the cabbage is tender, add the vegetables, meat and stir.

Let the mixture cool. Lay out a cooking sheet, plastic mat, or something that will protect the counter from drippings.

On to each uncooked wrap, place approximately 2 tbsp of the mix. (The wrappers usually come with instructions on how to fold into egg rolls.) When it is almost completely rolled, use your finger and smear on some of the flour paste to seal and finish rolling. Place into a nearby pan to await being fried.

Heat a frying pan with oil/shortening until the oil/shortening is hot. There should be enough in the pan to mostly cover the egg roll. Fry each roll until it is golden brown all over. Drain, and serve.

The quantity that I told you about will make about 30 to 40 egg rolls. If you have wrappers left, they can be cut into strips and fried by themselves for chips to munch along with your egg rolls. YUM

Believe it or not, you can also make a mix using different types of cooked, seasoned fruit instead of the cabbage mix to be made into fruit rolls for desert. They can be dusted with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. STILL YUM

THIS IS NOT A DIET FOOD.

Well, the thunder and lightning in our area had some fun. We didn’t have any fun.

It started out with just some of the apartments inour area losing their electric. Then when the power company showed up, they had to cut all of the power to all of the units in order to safely correct the outage.

Well, evidently the lightning zapped the wires and the transformer box had to be reconnected. It was 5 AM when they were finally able to get things going again. Since I have severe sleep apnea, I CANNOT go to sleep without my breathing machines. 2 of them. So, just as I was thinking about going to bed - NOPE#&*_#@$%_)&.

The next day I was so tired that I slept most of the day to make up the difference. I once fell asleep without the machines. I was in the hospital, they had me hooked up to heart moniters. The next thing that I knew, I hear CODE BLUE with my room number. One of the nurses was talking to me trying to get me to wake up. When I did, she told me that I had scared them and please do not go to sleep without the machines.

That was eye opening. Evidently my heart stopped. So, power out = no sleep. Humph
