Zoe gets drugs

[bill_schubert]

Zoe's TRIAD (e Test of Rapamycin in Aging Dogs) drugs arrived today.  The package was appropriately addressed to her.  I'm listed as her companion.  I think she must have talked to them while she was back in the office for so long.  

She will start taking them next Wednesday morning.  I give her one of one kind of pill and two of another every Wednesday for, I think, two years.  They do a full workup on her every six months and continue that into year three.  

I've got a report book to fill out.  She just has to show up.

Other than that all is quiet.  Dana still has not come back from yesterday's visit to the toxic cousin so I guess all is well or she's been dumped in Lady Bird Lake.  No word since last night.

I'm baking some bread and will have it with chili I made on Monday.  The chili has been sitting in the refrigerator getting better for the past couple of days so it should be good.  Tomorrow is set but we don't have dinners coming until the 30th so I've got to figure out meals for four or five days.  This is one of the main reasons I like the meal deliveries.  Way less thinking.

The bread is a bulgur wheat/oatmeal bread that will be crunchy and have lots of bumps in it.  The recipe is a fairly lengthy one as it includes a sponge stage to give the bulgur wheat an opportunity to soften.  Then mixing, rising, punching and rising again.  But it will be some good stuff.  Sorry I can't send the smell.

Maybe a skosh undervalued.

Smell and taste exvellent

I went to the new HEB for one thing.  It was glorious.  Took me less than 10 mins of driving round trip and maybe 5 in the store.  Just in time shopping.

lol Hope Dana is getting along well with her toxic cousin and is not dumped in a lake! That bread looks marvelous.

Late breaking news. She got back in time for the bread. All is well.

The bread looks REALLY good and I think I can smell it. Yum.

That is a very good-looking bread.

I have to say that after 3-4 months of pretty much the only bread i am eating is tortillas due to size/calorie ratio, i do miss real bread.

I really, really need to bake some bread. I have done so in the past, I know how, I have a few easy recipes, but I am lazy. Well, not lazy but I tend to devote my energies to planning entire meals, and bread is usually an afterthought. I'd be happy to send you some meal plans, but I think you folks tend to eat different stuff than we do. Anyway, that is gorgeous looking bread.

One of the nice things about our new easily accessible grocery store is they have a huge section of single serving, ready to cook, meals. Everything from salmon to Italian to steak. It comes in a tray with meat, veggies, and potatoes or rice. Lots of variety and about $9/serving. With it being so close we can just go over and grab what we want. Just in time food. Most of the meals are healthy and single or double serving, fresh and ready to cook.

I don't mind cooking but I'd rather bake. With my Noom weight loss I've backed off on the baking. This bread is my first in a while and is good and healthy (although not whole wheat which would be better).

That's a lovely looking loaf.
Seems like it would be a little dense? But that's the best kind to go with chili and stews if you ask me, something hearty to sop it up with!

It is pretty dense. Not sandwich bread. I had a toasted slice with butter this morning. It was a bowl of cereal in a slice. Good protein and fiber and lots of yums.

I love that they addressed the meds to Zoe, lol. :D

The bread looks yummy!

Yum, looks so good! I made sourdough ciabatta for the first time this week. It was dangerously excellent

These are two pretty small loaves and we've not even gotten to the second. I'm enjoying them more but not eating so much at once.

I freeze mine to avoid the whole finishing off the liaf in one shot trap. One of the things I stock up on when I visit the US is boxes of wax paper squares - they're designed for freezing burger patties but they work perfectly between slices of bread. One of those small but life-changing things.

I've frozen it before too and likely will most of the second loaf here too. Still works perfectly for toast.
