As is well documented, Thursday I went into my dentist for the beginning of root canal surgery.. He got the tooth prepped and drained, to relieve pressure- kind of worked, but the pain pills were great! Food was a non-event that night.. Friday, getting hungry, but not looking for rawhide to chew on, I decided it would be a good time to try the corn chowder soup mix Katherine had send me! Added a bit of ham, and onion to it, and dove in! Not thinking how badly the dentist had jabbed me with Novocaine, the soup didn't get a fair judging... Everything tasted salty to me, as my mouth was super sensitive from the beating it took! Plan to revisit the left over soup when taste buds are healed...
Chicken spaghetti is Sunday's meal, a simple, yet tasty way to make left over chicken into another decent meal! The red sauce was base, Balsamic vinegar, along with fresh chopped onions, basil, oregano, fennel seeds, crushed garlic, and Parmesan cheese, over the pasta. Simmering sauce like this for a couple of hours makes a big difference..depth of flavor is amazing!
Tonight, still on the "minimal chew" mode, I made scratch pancakes, with link sausages as a side.. with maple syrup and butter, we were pretty OK with this peasant kind of meal! Tomorrow is my birthday, and I have no idea what the plan is- except being a year older!

DAY!!!!
I hope you get a spanking for your special day.
I'm surprised you can chew link sausage. That's pretty tough!
Happy Birthday tomorrow! Will someone cook for you on your special day?
Hit40- Bring that leather outfit I like so much, and it's a date!
BlueV- One side of face still works! I don't know what is going to happen with food..But I have a clue who will fix it!
Hit40- If it's any consolation, my wife just hit me for my comment to you.. I think you two have common ground- you'd both like me dead!
Happy, happies! Your wife's birthday wasn't that long ago, right? When's your wedding anniversary? And I need to learn about vinegar. I have an abundance of flavored vinegars my brother and sister in law made and so far? I haven't made good use of it.
Kate- Dear, E-mail me and I will explain vinegar until you fall asleep from boredom! The world forgot how great this stuff can be.. and I was late to the party!
Happy Birthday!! Hope your day is fabulous tomorrow :) Do you get to do the cooking or are you getting a meal cooked for you?
Dude, happy birthday, but it sounds like a nice rescheduled celebration a week from now might be in order... just a day, the celebration is what counts ...
And if you are interested, I do have a leather outfit I could show up in
Rach- Probably cook, cranky if I didn't..Jeez, I'm a load! Your smiling face sure helps!
Hey Old Man!! Happy Birthday!

Year Man- One, great answer! Two if you ever show up in that outfit, you will be BB-Q, but brined for two days first..to get the lye out of the leather.. You and me would be Party Central at a BB-Q!
G-man- If we don't cook together once before we die, the world we be a poorer place...Don't cha think? Planets colliding..they would not know where to hide all the fun...M-go Blue!
Hiya BD!
Big Kiss for your bday tomorrow!!
You chewless post reminded of a story.. gotta sec?
A patient of mine, who has since passed, a little ole Italian lady always told me, "Men...'dey like de gums, men, 'dey like de gums." Yes we were discussing my fav topic of convo, playing the organ..
My leather outfit is barely there.;):0
If I'd known it was your birthday tomorrow I would've dusted of my leather outfit, too! I hate to be the only guest not in the proper attire :)
And the corn chowder sounds yummy!
What have I started- I am an innocent man, indicted often, but never convicted..
Donna- Just don't..I'm a decent man, but still,I'm just a man!
Kathy B! You have a hidden side.. You aren't old enough to be dusting off anything! Ladies, behave! (a little, don't stop!)

Happy birthday, Dick!
I like no chew food. When I make soup and grinders for the hungry horde, I just eat the soup....
Hope the rest of your root canal is as (relatively) pleasant as the pain killers!
Anette- Sounds good right now!

John- Wife was 15th, mine is 30th..I really wish they wouldn't keep speeding up!
Snowniece- Wife is going to cook! These might be my last words to the living... :) Thanks, kiddo- hope all is well with you!
I just got back to Jersey, and did not go on internet; therefor I just saw it is your birthday! Hope it is a good one, and do not bite your tongue like I did after my last root canal...from no feeling when I left dentist and I was hungry! Hope your feeling better!
Happy Birthday my dear!! Sorry your feeling so crappy (excluding the pain pills) My nursing advise gargle with salt water...even thought everything taste salty it will make you feel better honest Abe
ChefE- Tongue is definitely better when it is a cow's tongue- and cooked! I seemed to have chewed my inner lips into ground human!
Darngirl- I could gargle glass right now..it wouldn't matter!
Glad you're feeling better, nothing like a bad tooth ache. Although you got the drugs! That's always goo ;)
Jen- Worst is over, except for the bills to come!
WAITAGOSHDURNEDMINUTE.
I had a root canal and got NO pain killers whatsoever.
What gives?!
I love the chicken spaghetti, looks great.
And guess what. You and I share a birthday, I knew you was good people:)
Hope that tooth is feeling better and the drugs are holding out!
Lilu- I can't believe a dentist would not drug you and take advantage of you- Lord knows I would have!
Chris- Happy Birthday! You are the first I've ever (sort have) met to say that!
Did she hit you with a whip at least??? My husband never reads my blog unless I ask him to look at something. He has no interest in my garbage
Hit 40- I find you very interesting! The man needs an ass-kicking.. In Michigan, they are not hard to come by, nor terribly expensive...Someday I'll tell you a story of a teacher I had, with your same first name.. It's a barn-burner!
