Rumbles and growls

by

Oh Man … I’m sitting here typing away and my stomach is just growling like crazy! it sounds like a volcano that’s about to erupt or the grumbling that you’d expect to hear from a monster hiding in a closet.

My stomach’s been very noisy this week. Sometimes it does that when my Crohn’s is really bad, and other times, after a long period of silence the growling seems to signify that my tummy is getting better. I don’t know what it means this time round, but I have been pretty sick this week already. Hopefully it means I’m going to start getting better for a while.

I must record the sounds sometime. It’s really loud and not your typical tummy growls sounds either!

Even though my stomach will growl when I’m not hungry – like when I’ve just eaten, this time some of the rumbles really are caused by hunger. I’d better start thinking about dinner and whether to cook or order my favorite Greek Food.

Hmmm … guess which one I’ll pick?





Just as good the second time round

Yum!

We ordered Greek food from our favorite Greek restaurant last night and I suppose they have generous but not overly large servings.

It doesn’t matter to me how large a serving is these days anyway as I can’t eat a lot of food at one time. This works out good though as I usually end up eating only half of what I ordered which of course means that I can have the yummy food again the next day!

And that’s what I did this evening. Finished up last nights Greek dinner.

I ate my meal a while ago, but I held off on the salad until a few minutes ago. Now I have the pleasant salty taste of feta, olives and what I believe was Italian dressing.

Strange Doritos

by

Hey have you tasted the new Chilli Cheese Lime flavored Doritos?

My husband brought home a small bag yesterday afternoon and he generously left about half the bag for me to try.

Well I just got around to tasting them and at first they tasted almost like normal Doritos, but after you eat a few you begin to taste the lime flavor. I’m not big on lime so I stopped eating them when I could finally taste the lime. Now that I’ve stopped eating them the chili flavoring is setting in and I have a slight burn feeling at the back of my tongue and throat.

Strange … two or three different sensations at different times with these oddly flavored Doritos. LOL

So have you tried them?

Happy Thanks Giving!

So …. Did all my fellow Canadians have a great Thanks Giving?

We mostly did things around home this weekend.

On Saturday I ended up going out on yet another shopping spree! Our printer hasn’t worked for ages and each week it seems I’ve been getting someone asking me to sign and fax something back to them or when we purchase something like tickets to a concert the tickets are electronic and must be printed out. So we needed a printer.

I got an HP all in one printer. The all in one includes a fax, scanner and printing capabilities.

We actually had to use it as soon as we finally got it set up on Saturday because Chris bought tickets to see Saga play in a Toronto bar and of course the tickets were electronic and the only way he’d be able to get his tickets was to print them out. I was also able to print and sign our confirmation for our airline tickets for our Las Vegas trip and then fax it back to the company from which we’d purchased our travel package.

Sunday was just a lazy day. I wasn’t feeling well at all so I spent way too much time lying on the couch. Thank you Crohns. I did however pick out some new themes for a few of our sites and I will be updating this site and a few others sometime this week. Especially now that I really know how well widgets work. Perhaps I’ll finally get this site to load quicker! Yeahhhh! Oh yeah, the new theme will load the content first – not the sidebars first like this theme does. I hate that. I’m sure you do too.

Earlier today we went to my husbands home town and had Thanks Giving dinner with Chris’ family. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, my mother in law cannot cook. She bought preformed chicken breasts – you know those pressed boneless ones? Yuck. There was also sausages, milkless mashed potatoes, squished turnip and stuffing. Needless to say the only thing that I found decent was the stuffing.

I guess I’ll be cooking Chris and I a small turkey dinner sometime this week as I was really looking forward to turkey and what we did end up eating was really disappointing.

How was your Thanks Giving?

Oops we did it again

by

Remember earlier I was talking about the Greek Restaurant that we ordered from earlier in the week? Well … we broke down and ordered from the restaurant again this evening.

This could become an expensive habit, but the food is soooooo good!

We got pretty much the same food that we got the other day, but this time we added a spinach and artichoke dip and oh that was good. Yum.

No we didn’t finish the food. We’ll have yummy leftovers again tomorrow night. Hopefully we’ll have our craving for Greek food out of our system for a while after that.

What did you have for dinner? Anything good?
