Obviously I wasn't expecting this and it threw a bit of a monkey wrench into my plans for the day. As you know my dh is very talented when it comes to renovations but the one thing he can't and won't do is cook. So I pulled a few things out of the freezer and got busy making some meals.
Took me around 3 hours, but I got a bit done. Below are two shepherd's pies, a bowl of rice, a bowl of mashed potatoes. Two containers of liver, onion, mushrooms and bacon casserole, a lasagna and chicken and veggies in a mushroom Alfredo sauce. All in all there are around nine meals there for the two of us.
I also made a big pot of ham and leek soup with a couple of ham hocks. So probably another meal there and lunch for me for the week.
As it's my right hand that is being operated on and I am right handed things won't be as easy to do. In theory I won't be able to drive for at least a couple of weeks, but I'll play that by ear. I will have my hand bandaged up for two weeks, and I haven't to do any heavy lifting for 6 weeks. So no snow blowing for me!!!
I am hoping after a couple of days though to be able to type and to try and comment on everyone's blog.

Good luck with the surgery Gill , thinking of you .X
Wow -- that certainly was an upset to your plans but at least your hand will be fixed. And all that food! It all looks lovely -- uh, maybe you need a nursemaid? Hahah! Take it easy Gil and you will be back on track before you know it.
That's the carpel tunnel op you've mentioned, isn't it? I've had that done on both hands. I was cured afterwards! Wonderful. The worst thing was not being able to pull my knickers up properly! Right hand was the worst to deal with because like you I am right-handed. Good luck with it. I'm thinking of you.
All the best!
Thinking of you, Gill.

What goes into the liver casserole? I love liver.
good luck Gill, I hope it all goes well for you.
A sister-in-law of mine had this surgery & she was very impressed with it. I am very impressed it only took you 3 hours to put all this food together, it would have taken me at least three days or more ! Take good care of your hand.
Oh Gill I had no idea, you sure are a smart women when it comes to planning. I hope all goes well I will be thinking of you. Your man is a lucky guy to have such a caring resourceful wife. Take care. B
Hi Gill, Only just saw this post - good luck with your surgery and you are amazing - that is a lot of food cooked in a very short time. Well done!
Lots of healing hug coming your way from Oz,
Hug, Kaye xoxox
Was this for carpel tunnel? I am thinking I remember you mentioning it...hope it isn't painful. I saw the picture above. My husband had both done at the same time and I cannot remember if it hurt afterwards or not.
DON'T worry about my blog...I enjoy reading your blog and will continue to do so. Take it easy and do what the doc says.
And oh, yeah, you must be great in the kitchen...you just do so much. My husband can do about anything, but he does like to cook, as well.
Wow! Look at all of that delicious food! Well done! Hope the surgery goes well & you're back home & healing before you knw it! :)
