We started the week by celebrating Blanche's 28th birthday, anticipating that maybe little Audrey would choose to be born on her Nanny's birthday, but she's much too comfy, cozy in her mother's womb. Her due date is Sunday, Feb. 1st. So I guess we all just need to be patient.
Today I included a picture of Ben and one of his successful goose hunts. He spent the majority of every weekend this winter hunting ducks and geese. Ben is fine as long as he can hunt and fish and he had a great hunting season this year.
On Wednesday Haley participated in the Acadia Parish Science Fair and received 3rd place in her category. She had done a project with two plants, each grown in exact same conditions except that one had soft, easy listening music playing throughout the day while the other did not. And the plant that was exposed to the music actually thrived much better than the one that did not. I know how much good music can affect my mood, I guess it's true for plants too!
Wednesday's chemo went okay. Am feeling a little better each week now that the first round of chemo is finally getting out of my "system" so these new treatments are so much more tolerable. Day by day I have more energy and strength. Ricky said tonight his wife is 75% back. I think that is a stretch but I am getting my groove back just a little at a time.
I promised Tracie at Dr. Brierre's office to send her my recipe for the Mediterranean hummus that I made for them this week so I decided to post it since some of you have already tried my cheesecake brownie recipe, like Aunt Selma! Uncle Hu loved em so much he said he would bring some to his Weight Watchers meeting. I think the hummus would be a "safer" selection as far as points go in Weight Watchers!!!
So if any one is interested here is the recipe: (you know I'm feeling better if I'm posting recipes!) I knew I could get more creative with this blog as time went along. For someone who wants her own food network show I need this internet exposure!!! lol!
Mediterranean Hummus
2 cans of Chick peas (garbanzo beans)
4 T. sesame tahini (its ok to leave this out if you don't have it)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup cold water
A big dash of Italian dressing
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper (True Cajuns can substitute Tony Chachare's for the salt and pepper)
Garnish with , chopped sundried tomatoes, chopped green onions, chopped olives of your choice, parsley, crumbled feta cheese and paprika.
Process everything but the garnishings in the food processor until smooth. Place in a serving bowl and add garnish. Chill and when ready to serve drizzle with olive oil. Serve with cut up pita bread. Tastes very close to Zea's hummus!
