Decaf black tea and chocolate zucchini cake tonight, while listening to some old BBC period dramas on Youtube. :)

Yum. Chocolate zucchini cake! Sounds very tempting!

Who has to drop by to make you stay up?  I'll go find them!

It's delicious: so moist, and healthy as far as cakes go. Reminds me of carrot cake, only fewer spices and much fluffier.

Yes, it's close, but no cigar.  One year my Aunt, who brought carrot cake every Easter, brought "zucchini cake" and told us how much we'd love it because it tastes just like her carrot cake!  Ummm no.  Just no.  We really tried to like it.  We knew how much went into making it since a cake that weighs 6 pounds takes an awful lot of ingredients +love  :-*  And how lugging it all that way Uncle/AuntVille, Illinois and we lived in Tulsa or St Marys, meant at least an 8 hour drive.  It also meant, "Kids, even if it tastes like crud, we are going to eat it.  And we're going to eat alot of it, because there is alot of it, and we love Aunt Sally.  We love her enough to make the sacrifice of eating this nasty stuff with a smile on our faces.  It means the world to her when she comes down and we make a big deal about her and how much love she puts into the usually really good carrot cake she brings."  :grin: :toth: :patriot: :thumbsup:  But no, it's not just like it.   :lol:

youshould send them on a tour theycan serenade SD members in our living rooms.  it would be an excuse for them to travel the country, and it would be an excuse for me to wear real clothes :lol:

i'm home for the weekend.  trying not to hyperfocus on whether the Mrs eats or not.  her doctor is having her do this food journal.  not much to report..yestdday she just had the shake.  going to try to talk about getting help again.  I dont think the sleep deprivation is helping.  This little guy thinks it's an all night buffet here.  he keeps the same hours as a new baby. She does not want to bedshare with him because of the SIDS risk and also he shouldn't be in my bed with all the IV's and narcotics and vent tubing and dialysis tubes filled with blood and needles and all that. That cant be good. But also the risk of being smothered to death. Although after 6 months the risk probably goes down I'd imagine. but that's how she has always been...she likes to have him sleep in the crib but putting him IN the crib is difficult because she'll nurse him to sleep and he'll LOOK like he's sleeping, she says he feels like a 500lb weight in her arms and then as soon as the back of his little head hits the crib mattress--WAHHHHHH he starts screaming, like he wasabout to be eaten by a sabre tooth tiger. And im sure thats how we evolved--that's how little tiny vulnerable babies ensure their survival.


i dont know how lng its been but she's bee up with him for awhile now.

5:30. How you feeling Munda? No hubby, just your littles. Should we open up here a bit early. Then when you do go to bed it will seem you've had an evening!

I'm ready, but Hubby just called to tell me he's bringing KFC home for supper.  Me having coleslaw should be interesting.  :lol:

Probably has some kind of onion in batter....meh. That was my favorite fast food. I could count on one hand how many times I've had it in my life. Though I liked it, we never spent money on fast food unless traveling, which was rare. We used no canned gravies, premade sauces, frozen meals, frozen fries, piizzas, or pies of any kind. If I couldn't make it myself we rarely had it. We were poor, but we did not eat like the poor. I made brown rices, soups, oven potatoes, pizzas, grainy breads, whatever. We drank some juice, but mostly water or coffee. Specialty foods were not what I wanted to spend my little money on. I bought everything with the thought, how can I stretch this? It's way different now. We just have what we want, though it is still homemade. But now I will buy specialty items. But hubby still wants healthy foods. Helps maintain his 33 waist he has had our whole marriage.
