yens satisfied
Mother was confused when she arrived this morning. Didn't understand why she was here. Deborah explained to me that Mother had just been wakened from a nap.
Pork chops for lunch, with garden peas from last year's garden, baked whole sweet potatoes with butter, turnip greens and stewed turnips. Cantaloupe appetizers. Butter pecan ice cream for dessert. Oh man, was it good, all of it!
Marion made it for cards again.
But, by 2:00 pm was tightening up. His doctor had explained that proteins worked against his Parkinson's medication. In spite of that, this morning, Marion felt he had to satisfied a yen for a Lawlers barbecue pork sandwich. Uh oh. Fortunately, he was beginning to feel better by the time Delores took him and Mother to their respective homes.Our tomatoes refuse to turn red, just keep growing and growing.

Butter pecan. A classic!
Sounds delicious - your lunch! I had to paste the URL in another window to see the lunch photo... Too bad Marion's willpower slipped. Seems that thing happens to all of us at one time or another. I have a real hard time resisting pastries - especially the ones with cream cheese and raspberry or apricot filling.
That sounds aabsolutely delicious! And as long as Marion doesn't slip on a daily basis, protein once in a while should keep his peace of mind in perspective. The tomatoes just need a little more time
.
They all look so serious during that card game.
I like that 2 of them have on orange shirts, providing a pop of color for the picture. I've always liked orange; my childhood bedroom was a light orange, warm and friendly, especially as the sun came in, Oh and Frank Sinatra said "orange is the happiest color."
your words about the food are "almost" as appetizing as your photos of food ~ but not quite ~
Oh ~ now after reading the other comments, I see I had to paste in the url to "see" your food this time ~ it worked!
You are such a food guru. Sounds great.
Butter pecan ... one of our favorites!
Do you ever fix fried green tomato sandwiches? Just had some recently... Yum!
Interesting that proteins are not good with Marion's Parkinson's meds.
Have a great Sunday.
