REFLECTIONS

This time my cooking turned out good!  I modified the recipe a bit because of some comments about not having enough flavor.  I doubled the Worcestershire sauce, added some thyme and garlic powder.  The salt was left out. I did not thicken the sauce with cornstarch. I used the automatic settings on my pressure cooker for the cooking time.  The pressure cooker made the job easier and faster. Here's the recipe and link: TOTAL TIME:  Prep: 20 min. Cook: 15 min.   YIELD:  4 servings. Ingredients 3 teaspoons olive oil 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), cubed 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/3 cup dry red wine or beef broth 1/2 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms 1 small onion, halved and sliced 2 cups beef broth 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 3 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 cup cold water Hot cooked mashed potatoes Directions 1.   Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil. S

A raining Friday, good for taking care of indoor activities around the house.   Don't want to speak too soon but I feel better after going back to subcutaneous shots of immune globulin (SCIG) instead of intravenous. Wish me luck. Yesterday I  gathered my supplies and injected myself.  One of the four lines had some blood in it, so I had to reinsert it in another location. But it didn't clear up. I had to do with three lines instead of four. The swelling is a little larger that way. Four hours later and I was done. Well it took a little longer because of setting things up and putting them away afterwards.  Also, there is a little bit of hesitation before I can get myself started. Now I'm all finished for another week 😃. Subcutaneous is more convenient because it's done at home when I want, no appointments or driving to the infusion center. Here's a video showing how it's done: Enjoy your weekend.

Why? So I won't miss out on enjoyable activities. So I'll be able to take care of myself (groceries, dump, exercise, etc) How I avoid doing it: -Spend too much time looking for the ideal to do list on paper and also computer application, instead of doing what I need to do. -Being too vague about what I want and the steps I need to take. I use Microsoft to do: It's free and seems to be as good as any other. And I use paper calendar, paper weekly schedule, Google email reminders, and an index card for what needs to be done right now today. Here is an article I find very useful:    How to Make Your To-Do List Doable I've been feeling very woozy and weak the past few days, It's my sickness CIDP.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDSWrMkvnn0&t=48s Tomorrow I have an IVIG treatment, the last intravenous one before I restart doing subcutaneous treatments on my own at home. Hopefully it will help. I keep typing in the wrong letters s
