I had to go in for a cat scan this morning so I was hungry. I got the three bottles of barium down and things went smoothly from there. Afterwards they had me wait while the radiologist reviewed the scans to make sure they didn't need to redo any. Reasonable. It seemed like I waited forever and I kept getting hungrier. Just my luck it was a radiologist who had never seen my bowel. He thought I had a bowel obstruction because my bowel was huge. I told them there was no way I was obstructed, (I pooped in their bathroom I used PooPourri, I'm a pea after all!) after drinking the barium and that my bowel is always huge, that was my problem and that it is normal for me. The radiologist finally pulled up my old scans and saw that my bowel has always been this huge and called my GI to confirm so I could finally leave. Gee, I wish they would have asked me in the first place. I know what's going on, it's my body and I know how it works better than anyone. I was starved by the time I left and McDonald's was 2 blocks away. I had a sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle and a Coke. It was just what I needed Then I went and had two warts frozen, stopped at the grocery store and came home to my cleaning lady just finishing up I'm sure not going to mess up that clean kitchen tonight. I'll continue on the theme for the day of foods not good for you. I'm going to throw a couple hot dogs on the grill and call them dinner. My cleaning lady brought me some fresh peach cobbler with homemade whipped cream on it that I'll have for dessert She loves to bake and has made it her mission to help me gain weight What are you doing and what's for dinner?

We're still on vacation so we grill pretty much every night ... Dd#1 got her fav last night (ribs and mashed potatoes) so dd#2 gets her fav tonight: burgers I'll just slice up some fresh celery, cucumber and tomatoes as the sides

I believe tonight is bacon cheeseburgers. I might have to save the leftover funeral potatoes for tomorrow night, so probably just chips tonight. I also have some in season, local cukes to cut up.

Oh akathy I hate when doctors don't take the time to actually TALK to their patients instead of just going off of their own opinion! Enjoy your peach cobbler! We are having meatloaf and macaroni and cheese and some green beans. We are still eating through the stockpile of food in the fridge. I shudder to think when it's all gone and I have to start cooking dinner each night too!

kathy, I always tell people that gi issues aren't for wimps. The tests we endure and the stuff we drink is torture. I'm sorry that you had such a yucky am. However, your breakfast sounded yummy. As for dinner, we're having Garic Chicken, peppers and brown rice, again. We need to make it soft, because one of my brood had wisdom teeth extracted on Friday and is still sore. ETA: Plan change. We decided that rice might not be the best idea tonight. So, we're doing something we've never done: breakfast for dinner. I'll make soft pancakes and shredded hashbrowns. Syrup is a pretend vegetable.

We are having leftovers from last night - marinated, grilled boneless pork chops, kale salad, and I will make some corn on the cob to go with it (we've been having a lot of that lately).

I made beef stew for lunch. The kids are now in the pool, so i'm thinking something quick and easy for dinner. -- Chef salad??? Although that garlic chicken, peppers and brown rice sounds good too.

I made blueberry and nectarine crisp this a.m., so I will have that with a small salad.
Just finished some leftovers from last night, and I am stuffed. Another pot roast -- BF is on a beef kick. I hope I last.

Not 100% sure yet, but it will be shrimp something, with a side of another thing and yet to be decided veggies.
This new puppy is causing more work than I remembered. I'm not able to go grocery shopping after picking up the boys from school because I have to get home to deal with the dogs (and fingers crossed, the latest edition hasn't chewed any furniture while I'm gone)

Dh and I took 3 of our daughters out for a late lunch before dd#4 headed back to Virginia. She just left (sniffle, sniffle) We went to the same harbor cafe that the inlaws took us to a few weeks ago. 3 of us had fish and chips and 2 of us had over-stuffed lobster rolls. I'm not making dinner tonight - we'll all still be stuffed. Ds will be hungry but we have leftovers from yesterday that he can eat. akathy It sounds like it's been a long day! Hope you're feeling ok! That barium is nasty stuff.

We are having baked chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and cranberry sauce. I was to fix that over the weekend but ended up doing pancakes, bacon, peach compote, and hashbrowns.

akathy, sorry you had a day filled with doctor's appointments! If we stay at home tonight, I'll make some spaghetti and I think I have everything I need to make Birdhouse Lady's fab salad. But then again...we have family members visiting in town so I won't be surprised at all if we end up going out with them.

akathy - you've had a busy day, grilled hot dogs and peach cobbler sounds perfect! We're having Swedish meat balls & sauce over noodles with roasted beets. Unsure about dessert, if any.

akathy, it sounds like a rough day! How frustrating to see a doctor who is unfamiliar with your own unique twists on disease. I'm making squash casserole to go with leftover salad and pork burgers from last night. I may be posting less regularly because of some health issues too. I love this thread, and hope to keep reading it.

We had a late lunch so the chicken I had out is on hold until tomorrow. I'm going to throw some hot dogs on the grill in a little while and maybe make a quick salad. I bought strawberries yesterday so strawberry shortcake later for dessert.

We had pigs in blankets (skinless sausages with bacon wrapped round), fries, peas, mushroom and red onion stuffing and onion gravy. We seem to be going through a cake phase so dessert was a custard slice. Hope you sleep well tonight akathy.

I'm making my (almost) weekly pot of chicken soup. There are tons of veggies in the fridge to toss in. It'll be too hot later in the week for soup, so now's my chance. and if I manage to stop at the supermarket when I go out in a few minutes ... Carr's Ginger Lemon Cremes. For those who read the lemon cookie thread last night. ETA oooops, I lied. I didn't stop at the supermarket on my trip out to run errands but I did drive through McDonalds. So I guess I'll make the chicken soup tomorrow instead. And just a heads up, the frozen strawberry lemonade is

Since we're supposed to experience temps in the upper 80s and low-to-mid 90s all this week, I had a cooking marathon this morning at 7am. I made bbq meatballs, jasmine rice, beef stroganoff, chicken sausage with peppers, onions and potatoes. Tonight we had the meatballs with jasmine rice (I had brown rice) and shredded cabbage cooked with bacon & garlic. The other 2 meals I'll just throw into the crockpot each morning and it'll be easy dinners this week!

We had grilled teriyaki chicken packets, rice, rolls, cucumber and tomato slices, strawberries, and cookies for dessert. Life is seriously cramping my Pea-ing style and it's really starting to piss me off!
