Ah, the old diabetic roller coaster...
I've been getting a LOT more walking in than usual all weekend, being at Dragon Con. My metabolism is still apparently jacked up. I've been careful, while at the con, to carry snacks AND water with me at all times and check my blood glucose if I felt it was getting low (or high, though generally high has not been a problem at a con) and made it through the con without any incidents.
Got home after a good lunch and some ice cream (REAL ice cream, with sugar) and didn't anticipate any problem, as I was through, finally, with all the walking.
I took a short nap and then got up to order pizza for dinner, since I didn't feel like cooking. I ordered the pizza and while we were waiting for it, I started feeling REALLY ICKY and nauseated and suddenly pizza (or anything else for that matter) didn't sound good at all. Having felt that before with blood sugar dipping too low, I checked and sure enough, it was getting there and that was why I felt like crap. It's especially crappy that when I go low, I feel sick and don't WANT to eat, when eating is EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO DO.
I had a few sips of J's Mountain Dew and it held me for the 15 minutes or so we still had to wait for pizza. Then I ate pizza and now I feel OK.
DIABETES SUCKS BIG TIME!
It also sucked that the pizza place forgot about HALF THE ORDER and the driver had to go back to get the rest so our guests didn't get the main dish they had ordered right away, but at least they had their cheesy bread to nibble on. D (the boarder) didn't get his pizza either but they came back fairly quickly with the rest of the order and said they were going to comp the second half, since they forgot it the first time.
I can live with that...

Howdy y'all. It's ... oh, yeah, terrific Tuesday! Where is everyone? Cold pizza for breakfast. Lilo is making up for lost lap time now and happy as a clam. I need to get to my endocrinologist with a new prescription request as they won't let this item be refilled more than once and I want to make darn sure they get it RIGHT this time so I'm bringing the box with the pharmacy name, number, and the exact item so they hopefully won't screw it up like last time! Also pay some bills (Oh, wait, I already did the bills - online), make some coffee maybe? and get to the vet to buy cat foods! And at some point we need to bring our guests to the airport to send them on their way back to Pittsburgh.
Good thing I'm on vacation!

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Our guests are back in Pittsburgh and Lilo is still making up for lost lap time. Finished off the last of the leftover pizza for breakfast this morning. Cold pizza...breakfast of champions!
Need to get laundry done today, and watering inside plants.————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I have a late breakfast steak broiling in the toaster oven. We were up late last night and Lilo graciously let me sleep in this morning.
The fun with that one scrip has started again. On Tuesday morning, I brought the empty box (one of three, as I have started on the last of the three) to the endocrinologists office, showing EXACTLY what form of the medication I need, and the quantity, and the pharmacy number, and asked them for a new scrip to that pharmacy for that medication. As of this morning, no record at the pharmacy of receiving the scrip...you'll recall that the last time I had to cancel THREE incorrect scrips (two to the right pharmacy for the wrong thing or wrong amount) and one to the wrong pharmacy for the right thing.
This morning, as with the last time, I sent email requesting the scrip...and explaining that I had left the box just to avoid going through all this again! We'll see what happens...

The doctor's assistant called me around lunchtime and assured me she is correcting everything IN ADVANCE this time and calling in the scrip. I just looked at the pharmacy web page and they called in the right scrip for the right amount! It's a miracle!
I understand that Androgel is a controlled substance. Really, I do. But this is for a 55 year old diabetic man who isn't going to get any younger and isn't going to stop being diabetic and is NEVER going to NOT have low testosterone, for the rest of his life...isn't it possible to make exceptions for people with chronic syndromes who will always need this stuff? Is it REALLY necessary for us to get a new scrip every 6 months (instead of every year at least) and force the patient and doctor to go through this instead of just renewing? I can't even REQUEST a renewal or new scrip on the pharmacy web site. Basically I get one renewal, for six months of meds total. I HAVE to call the doctor and request it, or email, or go by (but we see how well THAT worked this time...) for the next six months.
I'm not even taking enough to make me particularly aggressive, much less grow any fabulous muscles. Sheesh.

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Not much on the agenda today. No rain though, and fairly cool so I may hit the farmers market. The sugar gliders might appreciate some fresh fruit instead of the dried that I've been giving them the last few nights.
Roger, I've only had one time that the difficulty with the mail order pharmacy was the pharmacy's fault. They had (and I guess still have) a "regular" mail order pharmacy and a "specialty" mail order pharmacy that, I suppose, handles items that aren't needed as much or as often or in very large quantities. I really don't know what qualified a medicine as a "specialty" medicine, but one of my prescriptions was on the "specialty" side, and the other mail order prescriptions were on the "regular" side.
The two sides each had their own phone number and their own offices (in separate states and cities!) and if one ordered from the wrong side, they WOULD transfer it to the right side but it added a week or so to the processing time.
Well, I got a notice that my one "specialty" medicine was being changed so that it would no longer be a "specialty" medicine but a "regular" medicine, and that the existing scrip would be transferred and I should have no problems in receiving my medicine. They even gave me a date for the transfer, which, coincidentally, was just about the time that my next refill was due.
Well, the "specialty" side didn't have any web page, and no way for me to order the refill via web, so I had to always make a phone call for the refill. I figured I could wait until it transferred and then use the "regular" side to order my refill.
The transfer date came and went. The scrip wasn't listed on the web site. I waited a week, figuring that it might take a few days for everything to move over. Nope. Waited another week. Nope. Emailed the "regular" side to find what the delay was and to let them know that I was running rather low on the medicine. They verified that I did, indeed, have one refill available, but it seemed to be stuck in limbo somewhere between the two systems. Then it seemed to be eaten entirely by their computer system. They still admitted that they KNEW I had this refill, but since the system ate it, they needed to have a new scrip from the doctor, which we got, and then they had to rush order it and do next day shipping to be sure I didn't run out before it arrived. And then the other refill popped up in the system, out of nowhere. So there were TWO scrips active for the same medicine. Well, they put a hold on the old one and let it expire on date as the new one had three refills anyway...it just got weird.
The more recent fiasco (about six months ago) was definitely the doctor's office with the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing. Somehow they had gotten the wrong form of the medication in the doctor's computer system and even though I had told them the EXACT form and dosage, they still ordered the wrong thing at the right pharmacy. I cancelled that order, via phone call to the pharmacy, before it processed or filled. Then someone else at the doctor's office called in the right scrip but only one month instead of three. Again, I cancelled via phone call, before any damage was done. And then Walgreens (NOT my mail order pharmacy, which is ... well, not Walgreens) emailed and texted me to let me know that they couldn't fill my prescription because of one thing or another and as I wasn't, as far as I knew, EXPECTING any scrip with them, I checked and found out that the third order (from the doctor's office) was for the right scrip, in the right amount, to the WRONG pharmacy. Sigh. On the fourth try, they finally got the right scrip to the right pharmacy but then with all the pre-approval stuff, there was some question about which form was actually approved and the androgel got stuck, though the mail order pharmacy had approval at that point for either one! They finally got that unstuck and sent it, also via overnight, though I had initially requested the scrip in plenty of time to get it via normal mail delivery.
I continue to use the mail order because the co-pay saves me BIG BUCKS that I can't afford to pay at the local pharmacy. Getting old sucks sometimes.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! We have orchid judging photography this afternoon. As best I can tell, the weather is supposed to be nice. Hopefully we can get in and out without any difficulty. I may have to get a hot dog or something at the botanic garden for lunch. We'll see.
Broiled sockeye salmon for breakfast.

Well, the somewhat spicy black beans and rice (didn't want to kill anyone with spice) are ready and packed to go (holding warm in the oven) and the beet and onion salad is packed to go and still in the fridge. Now to manage transporting a hot dish and a cold dish and keeping them separate for this potluck...

Howdy y'all. We've just finished feeding the sugar gliders and now off to bed. The auction and potluck went well. There wasn't much of my pickled beet and onion salad left to bring home, but there was a lot of my spicy black beans and rice. I've just warmed some up for J as he didn't feel like eating at the event, being too stressed out with doing the treasurer stuff for the auction. I put about half of the leftover salad on a small plate for him and a nice serving of the black beans and rice. That should hold him for the night.

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I need to get gasoline today, have my emissions checked and I guess go in to see how much trouble it is to change my name on the registration (and title?) too. Then if I have any money left, I guess I can buy a little bit of groceries. If you have a spare half hour you might find this amusing!

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Never did get the groceries yesterday, but I did get my car emission inspected, J's car emission inspected, and my new sticker for the next year on my license plate. I really SHOULD have done laundry too but never got to that either so I guess I'll wait until Sunday or Monday on that.
I've been up for a while but distracted by all the usuals. Lilo is fed, I'm fed, two large pieces of split, bone in, chicken breast are in the slow cooker, so I guess that counts as nearly half a chicken (on steroids? I swear they are getting these birds as big as small turkeys nowadays) with some salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and paprika. It's on high so it will be done about 1:30 or 2:00, leaving me plenty of time to debone it, put it on a plate, make a sandwich (maybe) to bring for dinner at work later (six hour closing tonight), etc. And get everything going in the dishwasher (and probably done) before I go to work. Not sure what I'll do with the rest but I'll think of something. Maybe some chicken soup with spaetzle noodles...
With luck, I can squeeze in a short nap with Lilo before work too.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! Working just 4 hours today, from 12:30 to 4:30, so that shouldn't be too bad. I got all the outside stuff watered this morning and still need to do the inside stuff, but that won't take too long. I've been up for quite a while but distracted by the usuals.
I did finally get what groceries I could afford last night. There are still things on the list but nothing is critical so I guess the rest will have to wait until I get paid again.

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! Steak and atomic baked beans for breakfast. I cooked the beans all night in a crock pot so they'd be nice and done when I got up and broiled a ribeye steak. And plenty of atomic baked beans left too!
Got the dishes going in the dishwasher and pondering laundry.

The last load (of four) is in the dryer now. Had some more of my atomic baked beans and the other ribeye from that same package for dinner. Delicious! Now just waiting for the laundry to get done, to feed the sugar gliders, and take care of the cats and go to bed because I'm opening tomorrow and need to be there by 4:45 a.m. Yikes!Hi Ed
It sounds like You are using a crock pot to do the same thing my Brother does with a Bean Pot in the oven when he makes his bacony Baked beans.
Cheers
Roger
In my opinion, long (very long), slow cooking is the ONLY way to make really good baked beans. I can (and have) done that in the big oven but in my later years have found a crock pot to be easier and it doesn't heat up the whole kitchen.
Either way, of course, the idea is to get it all going and then just LEAVE IT ALONE for 8 to 12 hours. That's my kind of cooking! If in a hurry, one COULD use the HIGH setting and shorten the time but I really think the flavor gets baked in better on LOW for the longer cook time.

But since I got all the laundry caught up yesterday, all I have to do today when I get home from work is NAP. Well, maybe I'll get J's laundry from his weekend in Birmingham done, but that shouldn't be much at all. And I can nap while it's washing.

All the laundry is done, and I got my nap in too! J and I both had a rather British breakfast for dinner. Baked beans and other breakfast foods with the beans. Not sure if very many Brits would have beans that could melt your face, but we liked them. Quite spicy hot, but also loaded with flavor. And there is STILL some left, even though I've been eating on them for several days now. I figured I might as well make a big pot if I was going to do it.
I've read of more regular "breakfast" things that can be done overnight in the crockpot but I, personally, can eat any food for any meal and a pot of beans (baked or otherwise) is fine with me as part (or all) of my nutritious breakfast. I've read of cooking pin oats or even some egg type casserole dishes overnight. I have to wonder about the casseroles with eggs though, as I'd think they'd get rubbery...
However, Val, since you don't eat eggs, that wouldn't be a problem! Poke around online and I'm sure you can find all sorts of things you can crockpot all night and have a nice, hot breakfast waiting for you.

If I'd have thought to put some beans on to soak this morning, I could have put them on overnight cook mode, but since I didn't, I'm soaking them overnight and will cook them while I'm at work tomorrow and dinner will be pretty much ready when I get home! I put a nice batch of great northern beans in to soak and they will be delicious tomorrow night after crock potting all day.
Beans are a diabetic's best friend.
Tonight we finished off the last of the atomic baked beans. So good! And yes, I'm doing a lot of beans lately. They're inexpensive, and nutritious and I'll do them until J starts complaining. LOL!
Dishes are in the dishwasher and it's running. D has a friend over for the night (on his way to DC and just stopping here for the night) and they've gone out to dinner. J is in the other room and I think I'll join him shortly. In a while, the sugar gliders need food and then shortly after that it's bedtime.————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
I've been up for quite some time. I have the great northern beans going now in the crockpot. By the time I get home from work this evening, they should be delicious! As J prefers his great northern beans cooked with JUST salt, I set them up that way, but I'll be adding more spice to mine at the table. I really prefer to cook them with the spices, and with ham or smoked salt pork (won't because J is vegetarian) but I'll make that adjustment for J. Oddly, it's ONLY with the great northern beans that he prefers the "salt only" preparation. I think it's because he grew up with them prepared that way, and his mother didn't prepare other beans much at all. I can do what I like with other beans and he's fine with that. He claims to not care for pinto beans, but when I make them my way (except for lack of meat) he likes them!
I'll probably pick up some greens or kale at work to have with my beans.
Well got to get ready for a 7 hour middle today.

Tonight's great northern beans are all finished off now. I only made enough for about three servings. I hade one, J had two. And to go with them, just a small portion of potatoes O'Brien. J had a larger portion. It was enough and made a satisfactory dinner.
Tomorrow I may get a couple of pots of chili going, or perhaps spaghetti sauce. I need to look in the cupboard and see what more beans I have that could go nicely in chili...and then soak them tonight if that's what I want to do!
Actually, though, spaghetti sauce sounds like it might be better this time...I'll ponder that.

Pondering done. I settled on hearty hamburger stew! I've actually got it going in the crockpot now. Browned ground beef, loads of mixed up vegetables, some very small dice dehydrated potatoes, onions, garlic, and a nice brown gravy with herbs and seasoning.
Guess what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow?
Val, are you using vegan Worcestershire sauce or just ignoring that teeny bit of anchovy that's usually in regular Worcestershire sauce? I buy a vegan version at the Farmers Market.————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Isn't it funny how you can go in the kitchen with one thing in mind and then when you look at what you have available suddenly something completely different pops into your head and you make that instead of what you had sort of planned to make?

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Working a long close tonight. Might try to get a nap in during this interval. I've had a nice bowl of my hamburger stew, along with a couple of slices of 35 calorie whole wheat high fiber low carb bread to make a nice breakfast. The smell of the stew got into my dreams and woke me early, which was fine, as the stew was nicely done and quite tasty. I have it on warm still, but will put the leftover stew away in a bit. I have told D that he can have some if he wants.
Lilo is currently being a lap warmer so no nap for me right this second. I have to consume my two cups of tea first anyway, and I'm only on the first.

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
I wish J would ignore small things like specks of anchovy and maybe even fish sauce in a stir fry dish, but he's a stickler on those items, and even on gelatin. I know why I was up past midnight last night. Because I closed and didn't get out of the store until after 11:30! Came home and had a midnight/bedtime snack before bed and I think I got to bed about 12:30 this morning. Was awakened by a friendly cricket outside at about 7:00. I will try to get in another brief nap before going in at 3:30 this afternoon for another 8 hour close.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the last pool party of the summer, and I'm planning a Mexican style tomatoey rice, cheese, and chili bean casserole. Considering the weather forecast I think I should make it extra spicy to keep people warm! We're going, whatever the weather, unless the hosts cancel. If they cancel I might just make that casserole anyway and J and I won't have to cook the rest of the weekend and on into next week a bit. LOL!
Monday is my birthday (39 again) and Tuesday is J's birthday, and I requested both days off. Not sure what I'll DO on those days off. Probably laundry.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! Rice and stuff is cooking on the stove now, and when it's about done it will be layered in a casserole with cheese (ending up with cheese on top, of course) and if it doesn't all fit in one casserole, then the rest will just go into another!
I might mention that I'm glad J doesn't get to inquisitive at restaurants about the curry paste used, even though he does know that many (most?) of them do contain small amounts of shrimp paste. We have found one brand that doesn't usually contain any and we just assume that the restaurant uses that brand unless told otherwise and we DON'T ASK. It's the only brand we buy for home use.
I suspect that he likes the convenience (and taste) of getting some of his favorite curry dishes at a restaurant a lot more than the trouble it takes to make some of them at home, so doesn't really want to know. I CAN make most of our favorites at home, but it's very nice to let someone else do the cooking.
If he finds out that a restaurant used beef tallow (or natural beef flavoring) in the fries then he won't eat them, or if they cook fries in the same fryer as the chicken. I've no doubt that some of the desserts available in restaurants have gelatin, though by nature they may not require it. Since he rarely orders dessert, he doesn't ask on those either unless it's obvious, and then he won't order it.
I really hadn't originally planned on this particular casserole, and was going to do either baked beans (not quite atomic) or some kind of more ordinary beans and rice but as I was going down the bean aisle my over active cooking brain popped up with cheesy Mexican style rice WITH CHILI BEANS though I've never actually DONE that before so I said, what the heck and went with it. I tasted a bite before putting it in the oven and it tastes pretty good to me. When I was younger I used to make cheesy Mexican style rice with shredded chicken as a casserole to bring to parties and it was always a big hit. I just suddenly thought of the chili beans to add more protein without the meat, so that J would be able to eat it. I don't always know where these ideas come from but I'm glad they come.
Oh, and I made a TRIPLE batch so I can take a large casserole to the party and still leave the smaller one at home for us to eat, whether the party eats it all or not. We got tomorrow's food covered either way!
If there is a low turnout for the pool party, and it's too cool and/or rainy, those that attend will likely all just hang around the basement and deck and pig out anyway. LOL!

The pool party ended up being more of a hot tub party, though a few of us, me included, did get in the pool for a minute, just to make it officially a POOL party. Initially there were supposed to be about 50 people there but with the weather so icky only about 20 showed up.
The 20 who showed up had a good time and plenty to eat. The hosts were happy to keep what leftover casserole there was, as they were busy with the cooking of burgers and dogs and all, and making sure of enough ice, etc, that, while they DID eat, they didn't get a chance to try it and it looked, and sounded, good to them.
It turned out a little spicier hot than I really intended but it went over well, and the hosts said they like it that way so they plan to have some for a late dinner. J and I have the whole casserole still at home, so we can do the same.
I don't want a whole lot of dinner so really just a small serving will do me just fine. Just enough to go with my evening meal metformin.
