On the way home from buying milk, we stopped at the pharmacy. Then, he went into Verizon to clarify something for me. He mentioned that there was a new milk that was a2milk--chocolate milk. I was objecting, saying it was awful. He said that the carton said NEW and Hershey. Well, that sold me. I had him go back and get me chocolate milk and Pie for Pi day. So, the new chocolate a2milk is delicious. Now, I cannot drink it all at once. The tiny cheap pie was not good. I gave mine to Tommy.
Dinner prep tonight did not go as smoothly as the other time Tommy "helped." I told him to get four cans of food--tomato bits, tomato sauce, whole kernel corn and black beans. 4 cans. He swears I told him four cans of tomatoes. After all the cans of tomatoes I bought, he could not find 4 cans of tomatoes. Well, I only asked for 2!
He opened the cans since it is hard for me. First, we drained the ground beef to get all the fat off. Then, I drained and rinsed the black beans. I had him put some of this in the crockpot. I put some of it in. He turned the crockpot on high and 45 minutes later came and told me the crockpot was not plugged in!!! Not his fault nor mine.
It was past dinner time. Everything was barely warm, but it was all cooked before it went into the crock. The cheese on top, Kraft Italian shredded, was sort of melted. I tried to stir it in, but it was not quite warm enough. We microwaved a bowlful to eat. It was delicious.
Since I knew the rice would not cook before we were going to eat, I put a can of water in the crockpot and 1/3 cup of rice and it is heating. We ate without rice. I usually add about 1/3 cup since we don't need so much rice. When I had two bites left, I realized there was no taco seasoning in the taco casserole. !!! But, it was not lacking great taste
It was actually delicious. I kept coming back to the living room to sit down. My hands were shaking when I tried to look at the ads for the week. Tommy was not so helpful tonight even though he was some help. He was argumentative. And still arguing over whether I said 4 cans or 4 cans of tomatoes.
I also cooked 5 Italian Sausages for Tommy to have for lunches. One will go in the freezer and the other four are in a sandwich bag. He puts these in a bun or wraps a piece of bread around one for lunch. I still have a package of chicken and some kind of pork to cook.
Just tonight, Monday night, I got the energy to put the last three pounds of butter in the freezer. They are a bit past the best-by date, but I have my fingers crossed.
Verizon may drive me crazy as AT&T did. I went to get a phone and change to Verizon from AT&T. I forgot why, but something to do with my address, I had problems. So, I just used Tommy's card to seal the deal. I wrote him a check the first of March and it is in his bank. Well, I needed to pay my bill. I did. They accepted my card over the phone and said the amount for monthly service had been taken from my card. However Tommy needs to go in the store and make me an account manager. Tommy went into the store today and was told I have to call them on my phone and let Tommy talk to them and tell them I can be an account manager. AND, my bill has not been paid.
Matt Dillon keeps getting shot in the same left arm. He gets it cleaned up and there is never a hole in the shirt.
I need a new style manual. Thirty years ago, Little, Brown Handbook was the authority. I learned to love Strunk and White's Elements of Style. I know I will need to get the latest edition. Is anyone closer to university use of either of these? Or, is there another style book that has come into existence since 2000? Now, I remember there was an MLA Handbook, too.
