How you doing?
Evening, folks.
Tore something in my chest Wednesday night. I’d bought a nice, heavy cast iron tea kettle to put on the wood stove and humidify the house a few weeks back, but I read some consumer reviews that said to paint or coat the kettle first, because the metal isn’t seasoned and it’ll rust inside. So, I got a can on high-temp, flat black Rustoleum that did a perfect job on it. Now, these things have heavy gauge, stainless wire handles on them, so that’s gotta come off. Well once I got the painting done, I decided to be a fool and try to snap it back into place all by my lonesome, and I guess I tugged too hard, because something in my chest suddenly popped like a champagne cork. Loud, quick, and rude. I dropped to my knees so fast, it probably looked like I was making a marriage proposal. My doc got me into his office first thing the next morning, and determined that I, A: tore a muscle, and/or B: tore some connecting tissue under the muscle and/or between my ribs. He also thinks they may be a fracture or a separated rib in there, so he sent me to Radiology for a chest series, but we haven’t heard back yet. He put me on hydrocodone and prednisone, but I pared back the painkiller and I’m supplementing it with Alleve because it was making me loopy. I’d planned to go to Lake Martin today for the final day weigh-in at the Bassmaster Elite tourney, but between my chest and almost non-stop rain, I stayed indoors. Beside, my fantasy fishing picks for this one stunk on ice. LOL
Jubilee was a show aimed at black servicemen, started during WWII. Most performers were black, but not all, Obviously, Burns and Allen were not.
33 minute episode:
Hi, Guys! How y’all doin’? :-)
Oh, bummer! Does Aleve work better than ibuprofen? I tried Aleve a long time ago and didn’t think it did very well. Advil rocks, though.
Sorry about the injury, but am still loving your writing.
Why did you paint the cast iron? Seasoning it with oil wasn’t proper?
Well, ibuprofen works good, too, but I take the naproxen because that’s what a sports doctor put me on a couple years before the infections. I’d done something to my ankle - my regular doc said he could hover his hand over it and feel the heat coming off, and the sports doc had me get an MRI for it. He said there was visible swelling in the scan, but no damage he could identify. Weird. But the naproxen, in large doses, brought down the swelling, so I figure if it worked for my ankle, it’ll work for my ribs, too. That’s my theory, anyway. Can’t take regular aspirin because of my platelet count and bleed out.
If it ain’t broke, we don’t fix it. Well, you know what I mean. :-/ Viking I hope you get well very soon.
Oiling it isn’t a matter of being improper, it’s a matter of being impractical. That’s an awfully small opening in the top to try and get a rag or a brush in, (likewise with the neck/spout), and it’ll eventually create a bit of a mess on top of the stove, because you’re actually using it as a steamer. It wasn’t an expensive one - I think I paid $12.99 for it on sale, and the shipping actually cost more than the kettle itself. It’s full-sized, but not the absolute highest quality out there. I don’t mind doing the back-end work to get it up to snuff. As long as I don’t end up in the hospital in the process. *chuckle* If you look at places like Tractor Supply Co. or any decent feed and seed outlet, they’ll carry cast iron steamer baskets shaped like chickens, elk, and vented crosshatch top pots for about $50, and they’re pre-painted. I just like the ambiance of cast iron hanging from the brickwork around the wood stove, functionally using it on the burners, and, the cast pancake griddle my great-grandmother Kraus used to own is hanging there, as well. My mother remembers her cooking on it when she was a child, and she’s pushing 80 now. I believe she said she brought it with her when she emigrated from Germany. A little piece of personal heritage from the Old Country.
We’re doing fine, Vision. Had some old water oaks taken out of the yard this week. It was an ordeal. Our sky is bigger now. Nice.
What’s cookin’?
Exactly. Quit trying to build a better mousetrap if the current one still does the trick. I swear, one of these days, I’m going to get up out of my chair and discover there’s still a piece of me sitting in the seat or caught under the wheels. LOL
Sous vided a chuck roast for 48hrs. Was fantastic.
HAHAHAHA!!!
