Post Thanksgiving update
Saturday, November 29, 2008
This year I followed Alton Brown's recipe for Green Bean Casserole.
As always, I fry leeks instead of using onions.

Here is the modified recipe.


Melt the butter in an oven/stove top safe vessel.
Add mushrooms, salt and pepper for 4-5 minutes, until give up liquid.
Add nutmeg. Cook for another minute.
Sprinkle flour over mushrooms.
When mixture looks dry add broth and allow to simmer for a minute.
Reduce heat to medium low. Add half and half, cook until it thickens.

Remove from heat.
Add green beans and 1/4 of onions/leeks.
Mix well.
Bake in 475 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Casserole should be nice and bubbly.

Enjoy it at Christmas.

Nov 7 update
Friday, November 7, 2008
Today has been very busy. A friend Melody visited for several hours. She took two short strolls with physical therapy and enjoyed both of them. The pain is subsiding, but we are still using morphine to keep it in check. Overall, today has gone well.

It is still looking like we'll be heading home on Sunday.

Melody's Surgery Successful
Thursday, November 6, 2008
After a delay of five hours, Melody's surgery went well. She had a total hip replacement. The originally planned Birmingham Hip Resurfacing was not done because of concern of metal ions building up in her kidneys. Also, the doctor said that her joint had deteriorated past being able to do the hip resurfacing.

Melody was wheeled to her room around 11 last night. Throughout the night there was the regular stream of nurses coming in and out, so not much rest was achieved.

Currently, Melody is in a lot of post-op pain. The doctor has adjusted the medications and the pain should start to subside.

Later today, she will try standing up.

Please pray that the pain goes away soon, so she can stand up.
