Dave’s squadron in Florida has an annual tradition: BACONFEST! One day, everyone shares their favorite bacon recipes.
In 2011 Dave made bacon cream cheese roll ups, and I can’t remember what he did in 2012, if he did anything at all.
While it was tempting to make another beer-bacon cheesecake, this year Dave proclaimed, “I’M MAKING A BACON EXPLOSION!”.
Took this picture yesterday at the Commissary. I’ll let the picture speak for itself. The subtitle below says “Creamy taste and texture of pumpkin pie flavored with natural cinnamon & ginger”. I don’t know what to say about this pie-ish product. Many times you guys have known me to whine about processed foods. That’s not … Read more
Let me start with a Dave Update: Dave’s days are doing pretty well. He’s in a bit of a conundrum because as his leg muscles tighten up overnight, he awakens every morning with VERY uncomfortable leg and glute pains. Within a few minutes of awakening, he’s much improved. But he says that the morning pains … Read more
Quickly! Dave’s 2 week checkup was yesterday. He’s doing MUCH better now and both his neurosurgeon and primary care doctor (the military doctor who he sees more often) are both impressed with how well he’s doing! We’re thrilled with the upward turn in his recovery compared to last weekend. And Dave’s attitude is so great … Read more
There are so many skills to be learned when cooking: math, nutrition, chemistry, physics! Dave Update: We had a rough couple of days. Incidentally, we had read another Axia-LIF patient’s online blog/diary/series of forum posts that read rather similarly. At about the one-week point, the patient was feeling better, he thought he could move around … Read more
Dave Update: Yesterday and this morning Dave was quite sore. He called it “new pain”, a lot of which was bone pain in his back, where the surgeon had to drill through his vertebrae. He had to increase his muscle relaxers and pain medication a little from what he was down to over the weekend, … Read more
Dave Update: Yesterday Dave got the 5 little staples out of his back. That helped him to lie on his back more easily. On the way home from the doctor’s appointment, he made a brief visit to the squadron to say hello. I promise, he didn’t do any work! He only logged on to his … Read more
Good Monday morning to you! Today is Dave’s one-week check up for his back procedure…most of what we’re going for is to get those staples above removed. That entire cut is about an inch long and is healing very nicely. But those staples are driving Dave mad and he can’t wait to get them out. … Read more
Dave Update: Friday was a pretty good day for him. He was able to rest very comfortably, and after the kids came home from school he walked up and down our block — the kids walked the dog. With the back brace he’s keeping very nice posture while he back heals… He’s looking great, and … Read more
Before I get into the main topic of this post, first let me say that this was a much much better day for Dave’s recovery. He woke up in a good mood, and seemed to do well while I was briefly at a Hurlburt Spouses’ Club board meeting during mid-morning. He even took a couple … Read more
