Bone broth leads to pot roast leads to... ?

[bill_schubert]

Smelling the bones cooking all day the past two days really made me hungry for pot roast. So I went out today and bought a chuck roast, potatoes, carrots, thyme, and onion. All set. I added a bit of yesterday's bone broth to the mix and it has been cooking since 10:30. It is 4:30 now so maybe another two hours. It is in the crock pot so I can't look. I'm hopeful.

Dana was up all night. Her tooth surgery went fine but twice now she has pulled out stiches (they went in below her gum line to do something or other to the roots of two teeth trying to save them) so they put in heavy duty ones. She was in a lot of pain and, naturally, decided to drink it away. So she was buzzed up and awake all night with the pain. And I could not do anything about it because of the alcohol. But this morning I gave her my last Percocet and she has been sleeping all day. If this does not work the whole thing could be an even more expensive disaster. Fingers crossed.

I cooked her some turnip greens using some of the bone broth. So she has good soft food to eat tonight.

Quiet day otherwise. We get daily red flag wind advisories by phone and Alexa from the National Weather Service. Since they are daily and will likely continue for the next four or five months they are meaningless. It is hot, dry, and a little windy (15 MPH or so). And will be hot, dry, and windy until November and/or until this place turns into a desert. Welcome to climate change. Stop telling me every day. I just turned off the 'Repeat every time' switch on Alexa so maybe it won't. We'll see.

I hope she feels better soon, that's a miserable sounding recovery.

every time I open pokemon it tells me it's dangerous to be outside in the wind in my area. it was clearly not programmed by people who live in kansas.

Blowing all the pokemons to another state, no doubt.

Dana sounds like she's really going through it! I hope everything heals properly so she can put the dental nightmare behind her.

Thanks. Today is better.

Gosh, I hope she heals without issue from this point on!
Very sorry that it's been so painful :(

[bill_schubert]

Thanks, it is a bit better today. The dentist is great. On Sunday he's still monitoring. Asking for pictures, calling to encourage her.

That pot roast sounds really tasty.

I couldn't believe when you posted the temperature was 97 degrees when you were at the dog ranch. Way too early for that kind of heat. We're cheering getting into the 60's for a couple of days before a return to snow on Thursday. Easter's high is in the 30's.

The pot roast was by far the best I've ever made.

It was only that hot for one day so far. Although it is 80 today it has been a little more reasonable.

Hope Dana feels better! The dentist should have given her something for pain!

[bill_schubert]

Thanks. She is getting there. And I agree with you that she should have been given something. She has a friend who had some hydrocodone from surgery and scored a couple so that got her through the worst of it. One of the many downsides to being older is that healing takes so long. Uggh.
