I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Walkin', Plannin', and Cookin'
Woody headed out on an eight-mile walk early this morning to beat the heat. The heat got broken late this morning with a passing thunder storm. I started out this morning working on a new recipe. The first thing that I had to was skin and remove the bone from chicken thighs...I needed skinless/boneless chicken thighs for this recipe...not the most fun thing to do! It took me a while (following instructions that I found on the internet)...perhaps the next time I will be quicker. But I will say that when I was finished they still looked like chicken thighs...so perhaps the time taken was worth it? I think really...I'm just slow! After lunch, I started chopping celery, onions, green pepper, etc. for the recipe. After the rain finished, Woody went out to the garden and get me some garlic for the recipe. And, later I went out and cut some flat leafed parsley that I needed. I rested a while and then started putting the recipe together. The cooking time was much shorter than the prep time. I will say that the end results were worth the time that it took...quite tasty...a "bit" spicy...definitely a keeper...Spanish Stewed Chicken Thighs. While I was cooking and while I was resting, I was making plans (in my mind) for our St. Louis trip. Woody did more than plan in his mind for the trip...he actually did a load of wash...on my list of "to-do's" for tomorrow.
