Yesterday I was cleared to go back to work on my right pinky. Doc said

that

nothing was broken. The reason my finger is not extending, he told me,

was

that the bone grew back at an upward angle instead of a lower angle.

He told

me to make my pinky my "nervous tic" meaning I should "play" with it to

get it

stretched out and working. I am going to hear about my knee tomorrow.

I am

sincerely hoping I can get back to work next week!

That is indeed good news.

Also, I received a letter from the bank who held the note on my Versa.

They

said that the loan has been completely paid off.

Ditto; it's no more than you deserve.

It's rare that I get a red-letter day like that. ;)

We're hoping there will be more ti come. Also
perhaps we can be part of the process in September/

So here is to seeing everyone at the picnic this year. See, if there's no room at the inn, I can always sleep in my van now. :D

We shall see.

Title: Stuffed Artichokes
2 c Bread crumbs, seasoned
2 c Parmesan cheese, shredded
1/3 c Garlic powder
4 ea Artichoke, whole
Recipe from: Alton Brown

Those have to be pretty huge artichokes to be able to
take more than a cup of stuffing each, and such would
take more than 25 minutes to cook; but what caught my
eye was that that is a monster amount of garlic.
