I take a pain pill shortly before heading off to bed. The heat is causing my face to swell. The new sleeping time is helping my face though.

That should work with butternut squash too, yes? Solly Mack Jul 2016 #21

Why not? I'm going to get some sweet potato tomorrow. alfredo Jul 2016 #22

That sounds yummy! Solly Mack Jul 2016 #24

I hope so. It will be an excuse to use excessive butter. :) alfredo Jul 2016 #25

lol Don't really need an excuse for that. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #26

I have a butter regulator that watches my intake. alfredo Jul 2016 #28

That would do it. :) Solly Mack Jul 2016 #30

I'm a butter/olive oil type of guy. That seems to keep the regulator happy. alfredo Jul 2016 #32

I use that combo. Tasty with a few herbs, Solly Mack Jul 2016 #34

Today no food by mouth. Bad dry mouth and super phlegm. alfredo Jul 2016 #36

Sorry. I know those days. :( Solly Mack Jul 2016 #37

Yes, many sips and rinses alfredo Jul 2016 #39

BTW, I was able to eat a poached egg without it sticking in my throat. alfredo Jul 2016 #19

That's great! Eggs were my go-to food when nothing else stayed down and I couldn't swallow. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #20

I was raised on a chicken farm. I love my eggs. alfredo Jul 2016 #23

I'm rather fond of them myself. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #27

Scrambled eggs with liver pudding, or with cottage cheese alfredo Jul 2016 #29

I'll have to pass on the liver pudding. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #31

Use rinsed capers instead of salt with those onions. alfredo Jul 2016 #33

Never been a salt eater. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #35

The capers add salt. Rinsing them cuts the salt alfredo Jul 2016 #38

I like capers, and I do rinse them well. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #40

I kind of like the idea of eating little flowers. alfredo Jul 2016 #41

Happy little flowers Solly Mack Jul 2016 #42

What I really need is exercise. It's just too frigging hot. alfredo Jul 2016 #43

There, too? It's been awful here. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #44

I want to sleep until fall alfredo Jul 2016 #45

I'm trying. Up late, sleep late during this heat wave. Solly Mack Jul 2016 #46

I'm not getting the sleep I need. alfredo Jul 2016 #47

Pain? Insomnia? Solly Mack Jul 2016 #48

It's a low grade migraine. Off to bed G'nite alfredo Jul 2016 #49

Night! Solly Mack Jul 2016 #50

You should try adding turmeric to the soup Siwsan Jul 2016 #2

I love Turmeric. I use it under my band aids alfredo Jul 2016 #4

Same here. I always add extra to anything I make, whether from scratch or a jar Siwsan Jul 2016 #5

I will have to get back to using Garam masala alfredo Jul 2016 #6

Mazel tov! PennyK Jul 2016 #7

I had a bad reaction to Chemo, they almost put me in the hospital. Damn white blood cell count. alfredo Jul 2016 #9

Yes, later on PennyK Jul 2016 #11

Damn, you are being put through the wringer alfredo Jul 2016 #12

Thanks, I'm good PennyK Jul 2016 #13

No worries, I have a beautiful wig PennyK Jul 2016 #15
