geminigirlWe had a really pleasant weekend. Saturday we spent the day with friends, and it culminated in a spontaneous barbecue, and great conversation about faith, feminism, religion, Florida, atheism, art and comics. Sunday we got stuff done at home.
Monday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zedrikcayne woke up with a nasty cough. In fact, I put my hand on his chest as we were waking up, and stuck my fingers in green mucous, which he apparently coughed up in his sleep. So, I told him to make a doctor's appointment for that afternoon, after the urologist appointment. The poor guy has walking pneumonia. He'll be okay, but he's feeling icky right now...I suppose a few days until he feels better.
Yeah, the urologist. That. The news was less than stellar. Not tragic, but not as good as we'd hoped-there are still issues. Dr W., upon hearing our story of being walked in on in the middle of giving the sample, gave us the horrified home alone face-you know the one with the jaw dropping and hands to cheeks in horror. He commented that it was in fact the "worst semen sample story ever." But yeah. The news could have been better. It could have been a lot worse. It is what it is, Dr W seems to think we can work with it, and I'll talk to Dr. P and see what he says when I see him on April 12. I'm not sure I want to talk more about it right now. I'm angry, sad, upset, frustrated, and more.
Instead, I'll talk about my Passover menu. I'll probably make another, separate post about Passover itself, and doing it on my own this year, but my menu...that's much cheerier than anything else. And that is in fact, what I need at the moment. Cheering.
To the best of my knowledge, none of the anticipated attendees are vegeterian. If they are, then I need to re-think things. But, I'm thinking plated green salads, with gefilte fish served family style, since many people don't like it. Then chicken soup with matzo balls. Main course chicken, brisket, potato kugel and mashed sweet potatoes with cinnamon and maybe brown sugar, depending on how sweet they are. And for dessert, fruit, and twelve egg sponge cake and some kind of flourless chocolate cake. One of the interesting things about doing this at my house, with none of my family who I usually spent Pesach with, is that I get to make the menu whatever I want it to be. And while I'd like to make chopped liver, I can't get schmaltz (nor enouch chicken skin go make my own) so I won't make it. And I'll miss it, but it's okay. Some other time, I will. And while I could make my Aunt Nancy's compote, I don't think I'm going to this year. I might make a raspberry coulis though, to go with the sponge cake.
Monday,

Date: 2007-03-29 03:49 pm (UTC)Please do let me know when you end up at KSC. It's been way too long since we've seen each other-I was hoping you would make it out here for a vacation this winter, and KSC is only about an hour-ish from home.
I could even make a chicken soup for when you visit.
