What did you cook or eat today: August 2025?

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.

DH hit the liquor store today but I'm not drinking ATM. I'm not supposed to drink with these new antibiotics to make sure they work properly. Also can't take any products with magnesium, including antacids. I'll probably lose a few pounds over the next 6 days.

Are they working? 🤞

Edit - I’ve caught up now and see you’ve already said they are 👍

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.

I’ve obviously missed the bit where Mrs T was unwell but then in a way thats nice because I also got to read she’s feeling better on the same page 😂

Belated Happy birthday to Mrs T!

Yeah, but it's affecting my sleep so I'm going down a rabbit hole of health articles, lol. I don't have CKD and need to stop reading and go to sleep.

Maybe it might help to try and hold onto the fact that the majority of people with UTI and kidney damage fully recover.

Whilst they did mess up giving you all the antibiotics you were supposed to have, the initial ones did a good enough job to get you to a symptom free point and you then acted promptly when your symptoms returned. That alone is enough to stop it from becoming anything more serious.

I applaud your approach in taking it seriously though. A lot of people don’t.

😁 thank you 😊
 
Just a (very) simple (and boring) lunch for me today at work - leftover roast chicken and new potatoes nuked in the microwave!
