Yes, much better thanks, but if I don't do this right those bacteria will become super bugs. The last thing I need is for this infection to move into my kidneys and me end up on dialysis at only 63. You've no idea how often that actually happens.

Our friend David Murphy ( dont think I've mentioned him.on here) died about 4 years ago. He was the first kidney transplant in new Zealand. So I know a wee bit about it.

MrsT’s birthday dinner out - SIL started with the house salad, which was nice, because the restaurant grows all their own salad ingredients in a large kitchen garden back behind the restaurant.

MrsT skipped an appetizer, but I had their tomato tart…think of a small Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, filled with cheese, and topped with fresh, thinly-sliced tomatoes in place of sauce. My favorite thing I’ve eaten in a long, long time.

Mains, SIL had tournedos of beef (can’t remember the sauce), I had pork saltimbocca, with a horseradish-mustard sauce, and MrsT had filet mignon topped with lobster (again, forgot what the sauce was).

We all had the same sides - herbed mashed potatoes, puréed squash flavored with maple syrup and some spices) and broccoli with a light lemon butter.

MrsT started with a whiskey sour, SIL had a dirty martini with three blue cheese-stuffed olives, and I had a maple old fashioned, as well as a glass of grüner veltliner with my pork.

We skipped desserts in favor of spiked coffees. I don’t know what everyone else had, but I had a coffee with Tia Maria, Grand Marnier, and Amaretto.

I’ve been thinking about making a Chicago deep dish pizza. I’ve made them before. Always good. Too much for just the two of us

Thanks - this morning was the first day she felt “okay,” so she promptly went out and had a giant soft serve black raspberry ice cream cone, Mexican food for lunch, and that beef-and-lobster mess for supper.
