It seemed like "checkout clerk training day" as the clerk didn't seem to know she was supposed to put my and my wife's sandwichs and chips in a plastic bag; her trainer put the sandwichs in and I put the chips in. I also had to ask her for a drink carrying box.  I didn't know the change came out in a change box at a different location that the last time I was in there and she didn't think to say "your change is here".

Dinner: I had a home made mix of:

• boiled pork chops
• boiled white potatoes
• boiled carrots

糖尿病
"sugar urine disease"

Breakfast: cherios and coffee and four little donuts

Lunch: the local Rat -er- KFC opened back up so I had chicken, mashed potatoes and cottage cheese with brown gravy and desert and a glass of "Diet Coke".  I confirmed I no longer like the "extra crispy" and now like the grilled chicken (and am not all that fond of this either...)

Leader Dog For The Blind LIver Doggie Treat

I I made the "Leader Dog For the Blind" liver treat for dogs. I used

• 1¼ pound of chicken liver (recipe called for 1 pound but the store carried only this size
• an egg
• a premixed dry mix of
  • 1 cup flour and
  • 1 cup of corn meal

 PUt the liver and egg in your blender and mix them into a bloody red mix. If necessary, add just enough water to allow the liver nad egg to be blended. Then, mix with the flour and corn meal and spread onto a flat pan sprayed with anti-stick stuff. Bake at 400º for 15 minutes. After it cools, slice it into chunks (not too big, not too small) and store them in your freezer in plastic bags.

The treat fresh out of the stofve and unsliced.
Here is the treat sliced with one piece missing (feed to my dog).

Your dog will love them; mine does!

Lunch: at a Dairy Queen

• ¼ pound hamburger
• fries

Dinner: which I cooked

• about 1¼ boneless skinned chicken breasts boiled
• I cannot remember the "side dish" I had with the chicken

I can't believe just how badly my boiled chicken turned out. If this had been at a restaurant, I would have been bitching for weeks. Instead, it was my own bad cooking and I have half of what I cooked left over. I'll just have to figure some way to cover the taste and finish eating it because, even if it was in the manager's mark down area of the cooler, it was still spendy...

The family of a little girl, who just got over childhood leukemia, brought around chocolate cake as a celebration and thanks for everyone who worried about Taylor (the girl).

Dinner: We went to "King's Buffet", a "Chinese/American" restaurant where I had several chicken dishes, rice, some beef, and both a very little bit of pudding and ice creamme for desert.  At home, I had a couple of gin-n-tonics. At the risk of sounding like a lush, I felt like I needed the first one and didn't turn down the second when my wife offered it to me. Somehow, this reminds me of my Mother mixing "Old Fashioned" for my Father and my disgust at this (back in the late 1980s.) Now, I am becoming my Father in more ways than one and my wife her Mother (and my Mother) in various ways...

I still hope to outlive my Father. He died at age 68; I become 60 in 74 days...
