Strange day today, watching all the stories of human
kindness in Boston. Then more information about how the bombings were carried
out. It has been a veritable roller coaster ride that I am sure will continue.
Five more days until this cast comes off. I’ve actually been
able to cook a few dinners, so that’s helped to improve my mood some. Still
dehydrated, even though I’m drinking a ton of water and trying to cut back on
the diet soda. I think that my level of inactivity is creating its own set of
issues, though before I broke my foot I wasn’t very active. I can tell you that
after I get this cast off it will change.
Preparations continue for dinner on Saturday night at the
Ronald McDonald House. I look forward to this each month. This time we should
have seven different soups for the parents and kids to try at their convenience
during the evening. Hopefully this time everyone will get me their recipes in
advance. I like to post the recipes by each dish so the families know what is
in them, no guessing on their part. The families are always so grateful, we
usually sit with them, engage them in conversation. Sometimes tears are
exchanged, sometimes not, hugs as well. We always tell the families that we’ll
be back next month, and hope they’re not there. When they are there the next
month it’s always bittersweet.

Homemade Gyro’s for dinner. I don’t actually make the pita’s,
but I do make the pork (Cavender’s Salt Free Greek Seasoning) and the Tzatziki
sauce. I don’t blenderize my sauce, I like the chunks of cucumber in it.
Probably use more dill than most would for the sauce, but I like a lot of dill.

Grocery Tip
Try Trader Joes for your kitchen spices, including Dill.
VERY well stocked and priced.
