When we saw him on Thursday, we took along subs for ourselves to eat while he had his lunch with the other regulars at his table. He asked us to bring one for him today, so we took that and also took a couple of his favorite things, sugar free apple pie and sugar free chocolate ice cream... Yesterday afternoon it occurred to me that we should take along some Easter eggs, so I found some dyes in that cupboard and we did a few. Now, since my wife's extreme heart attack a couple of years ago, with a bit of brain trauma, it mainly falls to me to keep a little project like this on track. Mid-morning today it hit me: we never boiled the eggs; I just opened the carton and dyed them raw. At least we didn't take them and hand him one to crack and eat... Next question, sunny side up or scrambled...I was really looking forward to a couple of hard-boiled... |

Today I made cracked-wheat bread and almost forgot to put the cracked wheat in. Like you, I caught the error before anything bad happened (like ruined bread.) |

As a sort of fruity batter pudding, it wasn't too bad. |

I don't think I've ever forgotten to put the flour in but all the others at one time or another. |

I got my orders on how much powder, which programme to use and to be sure to keep whites separate, etc. I followed her instructions to the letter.Easy peasy. Alas, at the end of the cycle I opened the door of the washing machine to find I'd forgotten to put the clothes in. Duh! |

She wrapped them in onion leaves, tightly. Maybe the leafy tops were involved. But the result was a striated brown/egg coloured look. Hard boiled. Well boiled I think. She said that they would normally be painted. That is all I remember. |
