Funny story and update


Mom and I cannot tell you how much we appreciate all 
your prayers and comments over the last week while
we were MIA.  My sweet bro-in-law made steady 
progress all week.  His speech is 100% back...
as you will be able to tell from the following *story.
A menu selection for the next day's meals comes with every lunch tray at the hospital.  However, over the week due to shift change sitting with my bro-in-law(BIL)the selection was not made on Saturday.
Saturday night when BIL's tray arrived the aroma was enough to make your nose do a dance.  My sis (is a germ-a phobic) insisted BIL wash his hands again even though he had just done it.  Finally BIL was able to take the lid off the plate....
staring him in the face was a lovely plate of spaghetti................
but on the side of the plated was a pile of GREEN FOOD
(not green eggs). BIL looks up at Sissy to find her eyes about to pop out of her head. 
 BIL finally says
*WHAT THE HE** IS THIS
Sissy said when BIL said that she LOL'd so hard her eyes started leaking then BIL started LOL'ing
Sissy bravely volunteered to give the GREEN FOOD a taste test.
Yep it was exactly what the thought is was.
Pureed (baby poopie green)




My BIL is nearly a gourmet cook he often makes up his
own recipes......loves tasting new things but never ever
will he eat GREEN peas whole or pureed.  The nurse heard the commotion coming from BIL's.  When she came in to check it out
the first word out of her mouth was
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT GREEN BLOB

So Mom and I have a question:
1. Do you have veggies with your Spaghetti?
2. If so, would  you have green peas with spaghetti 

******************************
My BIL has one more hurdle to jump tomorrow.
He will have a stent put in his carotid artery tomorrow.
We'll keep you posted as we have news.
LOTS OF HUGS
MADI AND MOM

  1. We are thinking that BIL was given what we would call 'mushy peas' in the UK. A common accompaniment to fish and chips (but not spaghetti).
    Toodle pip!

    PS Gail and I have fingers and paws crossed that the stent operation goes smoothly.

  6. Ewww! My human hates peas in any shape or form. A friend of hers used to add big hunks of red and green peppers to her spaghetti sauce and that was actually quite good, according to her! I'm glad your son-in-law is doing so much better, and I'm sending purrs his way for his stent procedure.

  7. Actually Mommy has eaten spaghetti with green peas, carrots, corn and sausages. Whole peas, not pureed. Heh heh.
    We're happy to hear BIL is doing so well and we'll be purring the insertion of the stent goes smoothly. :)

  10. Green peas are evil. I will not eat them nor touch them with a ten foot pole.

  11. If I were to have green peas, they would not be pureed.

    We usually have bread....plenty of it and sliced cheese with our spaghetti. After all tomato sauce is already a veggie, right?

    ReplyDelete

  15. SHE usually grates carrot and zucchini to put in the sauce. So there are no side vegetables. Certainly not baby poo peas.

  18. Catching up on your blog and reading about the health crisis your son in law had. Thank God that he got the care he needed in time to avert long term repercussions. They always say when you can complain you are on the road to recovery. Green Pureed Peas is definitely hospital food!.
    Thanks for being a friend

  20. Madi, Lesueur peas are my mom's favorite. She says they are the best peas! However, she doesn't eat them with spaghetti. Usually she has salad with spaghetti. So glad BIL is doing much better! We got your card today. Thanks!

  21. We are so glad to hear of the great progress BIL is making!! That is fantastic!!! Mom says she like to eat spaghetti squash with spaghetti sauce. It's healthier and tastes just about the same as pasta.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh Barharhar, baby food, OMD hope he didn't through it across the room. WE hate peas, we had them once, and they wound up all over the kitchen floor!

  24. So there is some little toddler out there who missed out on his smashed peas for dinner that night? The only veggies our mama serves with spaghetti is a nice salad.

    Even the nurse couldn't figure that one out. We are thinking that maybe the cafeteria staff got some kidding about that combination.

    Sending healing purrs and good wishes for the stent operation tomorrow.

  25. It's great to hear that your son in law is making such great progress! When our grandpeep was in the rehab center at the beginning of this year, we saw some of the most unlikely combinations of food showing up on platters. Usually they were intended to look appetizing, though. Maybe they thought that he needed only soft things and nothing more than a certain diameter?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Madi, we don't eat spaghetti. But the mom does. And she says the only veggies in her spaghetti is in the sauce and no way would she put peas in there!! We're so glad your BIL is doing better and we purr that he continues to improve.

    BTW, we got your Christmas card today...thank you!!! We haven't sent ours out yet.

  27. Mom loves peas, whole, not pureed, but not with he pasta. Give her a good piece of garlic bread and a salad, perfect.

    All paws crossed for tomorrow's procedure.

  28. I am NOT a pea fan at ALL! I like broc or kale salad with my sketties. Good to hear that ALL his language skills have returned...LOL.

    I'll be thinking of your SIL tomorrow.

  32. I'm back from my holiday hiatus and came to catch up....green blobs are only good when rolled up and wrapped in a rubber band...all $20s, or even better...ALL $50s. I'm not picky.

  33. My Mommy said she'd eat peas with ice cream if she could! She loves peas.

    We're so glad to hear that BIL is doing so much better. We will continue to pray for him.

  36. Poor Greg, pureed green peas with Spaghetti?! Maybe a salad, but not peas! The cook has a funny sense of humor, they both needed a good laugh after a stressful week! Wow, he's a brilliant scientist, an incredible wood carver and now you say he's a gourmet cook?! Praying all goes well today so he can recover!
    Hugs and Nose taps,

  37. We're glad your s-i-l is doing better. That had to be quite a scare for all of you. We hope the stent surgery goes smoothly and helps. Hugs, purrs and pawtaps.

    Oh, Jan likes peas with anything but not pureed!

    Your Christmas blog decoration is lovely.

  38. Oh, I am sorry to hear about your BIL - but sounds like he is improving.

    There should be some sort of law on the books about how peas and spaghetti do NOT go together. Ever. No matter what. While I will occasionally put broccoli in my spaghetti - peas in spaghetti are an abomination. I could go on and on. That's just wrong for so many reasons. And pureed peas? That's beyond an abomination.

    Praying the surgery for your BIL goes well today.

  39. We're glad to hear the good report on your BIL! The only thing I like with spaghetti is salad and garlic toast!

  42. Lady loves peas (even mushy ones) but wouldn't have them with spaghetti. If she wants more veggies than the sauce has, she makes a salad. Lee and Phod
