The trouble with full time cooking

is that you often get home and don't want to cook anything else.

I really wanted navarattan korma, saag paneer, and tandoori chicken, with all the trimmings. And a salted lassi.

What we have in the freezer is mostly whole chickens. Nope.

Went to the store. One package of boneless chicken tenders, one box of imported Indian basmati pilaf, and one box of frozen creamed spinach. I mixed yogurt and Madras curry powder and baked the chicken in it.

It was OK.

Why I hate having no health insurance

shadowflyer is on crutches, with his foot all swollen and inflamed from plantar fasciitis.

It's least uncomfortable for him when his foot is flexed. When he props it up, it points.

He spoke of wanting to bind his foot into an angle-iron sort of shelving bracket to keep it flexed.

I mentioned seeing a rigid splinty thing at the drugstore, and offered to go get.

It was an air-cast. It was $49.99.

Not exactly in our price range.
