Pinched

A nerve running from the right side of my neck down into my right shoulder must have gotten "pinched" during the night.  Even holding a cup of coffee in my right hand is painful (to a degree), so I think I will bake loaves of banana bread with the bananas I have not been allowed to eat on my "diet".  And tuck one into the freezer and the second take to work for the crew of boys to eat.

One loaf of bread and four little mini loaves to go in the freezer for G.  Later.  After he finishes the pie. G just got home and told me a customer complained that the flag was flying (in front of the McD's) in this drippy weather.  He wanted G to "take it down".  Working with the public isn't for the faint of heart.

I have decided to remove all the partially eaten items in the fridge and freeze the items that can be used for future meals and dispose of those that can't.  G has this quirk of never using up anything.  He will leave 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes in the container.  Either decide to eat the potatoes or throw them away. Finding 1/4 cup of pasta sauce when you thought there was enough for dinner, makes me crazy.

I also want to remove a great deal of stuff from my closet and bring the wire storage cart down from the attic.  I think it would be nice to have my tee shirts and summer things folded into the wire basket drawers instead of piled up in the "shoe" closet.  They are continually jumbled up in there, making choosing a tee for the day a lengthy and annoying procedure.  G and I have way too many tee shirts.  G likes to have all the available colors and then tends to wear the two tees on the top of his piles.  Red and black this winter.

My "intention" is to remove, fold and bag everything I have not worn in the past two years.  This should (but may not) include things I have tried on and then returned to the closet.  I don't think 30 seconds of trying on is "wearing" in the truest sense of the word.  I also need to make the "new" bras I purchased fit better.  Where would you place tucks if the band wasn't snug enough.

Here's the recipe for Incredible Banana Bread

4 Tablespoons soft butter mixed with 1/2 cup sugar, 3 dead bananas, 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk and 1/3 cup of ONE of these things (yogurt, cottage cheese or sour cream).

2 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt and optional 2/3 cup raisins or nuts (I do walnuts).   Mix wet with dry and scoop into a greased 9" loaf pan.  350 for one hour. Cool on rack for 10 minutes and then remove from pan to cool completely.

HotNews From Work Yesterday:  The French Teacher once emailed all her students with nude photos of herself instead of the anticipated homework assignment.  The students said she "almost got fired".  Really????  So now I wonder if she is the French Fart (cabbage) or the French Tart (possessing nude photos of herself).  Isn't high school interesting these days. Almost got fired.
