Dinners, surgery and passports

I was told by one of my employees that I must have an exciting life because of all the things I do at home. I am not sure that is necessarily true, but I will take it as reason to post more than I have been.

This week’s dinners have been lamer than normal, but I did make a fabulous butternut squash gnocchi with rosemary brown butter & asiago cheese. Other than that, I made chili, a casserole and salads. The casserole & chili were kind of ugly, but they tasted delicious.

Soon, all of my cooking will be posted on frannycakes.com. Hey, you’ve gotta eat, so why not make it taste good?

I found out this week that I have to have a surgery. While the nerve blocks were surgical procedures that would knock me out for a day or two, this is one of those that requires an overnight stay. It is a drug pump trial. I will have it in for 6 weeks. If it works on my leg, they will implant a permanent one.

And, for some good news? My passport arrived in the mail yesterday! I paid for expediting and it was here in a week and a half, not the 3 weeks that I was told.  There are 17 days left until I leave for Munich with Paul. I have been on the hunt for gluten free restaurants there, and have found a few. Hooray!

Now, I am off to work to spend some time in the office to make up some time that I am going to lose from all of the appointments and this vacation!
