Meals, a sewing project, weather, etc

Hello everyone 

My last post was about concerns for my husband and that illness.  

Well, all my precautions worked and I didn’t catch it.  He is pretty much better but has been though a lot with so much coughing.  

So if there is sickness in you home,  my advice is 

- try to keep as much distance as possible between you and the sick person

-Wash your hands often and especially if you handle anything that the sick person has handled like their dishes

-Be careful with dishes-I sanitized hours by running the dishwasher on the sanitize cycle. But if I was doing them by hand, I think I would pour boiling water on any dishes used by the sick person

-If possible, sleep in a different room than the sick person

-I asked my husband not to go in the kitchen, but if he just had to, I put a box of latex gloves on the counter for him to put a pair on if he had to touch anything. And I think he only went in the kitchen one time and he did wear gloves

-Be careful with laundry and towels. If possible wash, wash the sick persons, laundry in hot water.

That’s pretty much what I did and it worked for us. But it’s just my advice. I am not a doctor.

  

My most recent sewing project is a cover for my KitchenAid mixer’s bowl.  

It was a simple, sewing project. I used a pizza pan to cut out my circles. 

Mine is reversible with chickens on one side and a print on the other.

Meals -We’ve eaten at home all meals, except once when we went to Oklahoma City a couple days ago

But apparently I took very few photos of those meals 

 

Breakfast for supper 2 nights 

Swiss steak from a recipe shared by 

Terri at Blue House Journal

I made it exactly as she posted.  I’ve made Swiss steak many times but never put bell pepper in it.  Terri’s recipe uses bell pepper and is delicous!  

It’s very easy too.  

I rarely bake anymore but we had a small family gathering and another family member was going to see other family on a road trip. 

So I bake a double batch of Pound cake and a single batch of cake mix cookes.  

The 2 containers were sent on the trip and the desserts on the white plate were shared with family that night.  

Weather!  

We had super cold temperatures and snow that kept bus home for almost week.

Then a few days after that mostly was over,  we had ice.  

Ice is the worst!  It makes every surface slippery with walking and driving both treacherous. 

Thankfully we in a stretch of pleasant weather for the foreseeable future.  

Hope you are all well
