Haines His Way

TOD:

WARNING HIGH CALORIE HIGH CHOLESTEROL RECIPE

 


My Papa's Ham casserole....a favorite meal after the holidays (assuming you have a had a lovely large baked ham for the holidays!)



1. Cut all the available meat off your leftover ham and cut in fine or mince or grate it with your blender, food processor whatever.... (my paper had one of those old fashioned meat grinders he put it through)

2. Beat 2 whole eggs and blend into a quart of sour cream. Fold the mixture into cooked and well drained  and cooled Egg Noodles.   Add the ham

3. Take a casserole dish and coat the inside with butter.  Put the ham/sour cream/noodle mixture into the casserole dish, top with a layer of sourcream, some breadcrumbs and a sprinkling paprika

Put in the oven at 375 degrees until brown and bubbling

serve by itself with a spoonful of sour cream as a topping or with some asparagus or carrots on the side.

Left over casserole is also very lovely reheated in the frying pan and served with some fried eggies for breakfast!!!


OH!!! Soooooooooooo good!!!  

The other day, BK said that he loathed Roger Ebert.

I loathe Barbara Walters.

Good rehearsal vibes for JOSE and MR BK!!

How exciting.

Just remember that the cast in San Francisco is as excited for Mr. Haines to arrive and the cast at LACC is for Miss Williams to arrive.  Be sure to ask who Mr Haines' stand in was.

And GET that tuxedo shirt and tie, etc.

And on LOST, we get more backstory on Kate tonight. Can't wait for it and, of course, VERONICA MARS.

I probably won't get to see VERONICA MARS until friday. Hopefully we will still be allowed to view the alternate ending and vote then.

Btw, re: LOST, can someone remind me what we know of Kate's past. I thought we already knew her backstory.  I remember she visited someone at a hospital (an old boyfriend?). And then she had him let her into to viist her mom?  I remember she was on the run (for murder?). Was it an accident?  I"m only remembering bits and pieces. Although i also remember she was doing work for some man, and then took off and got caught while driving. I also vaguely remember the car overturning and her escaping. I'm probably mixing this all up.

How weird was that. I hit post once and my message appeared 3 times!

I've only just been able to get into this here site.

Geez, BK...the problems seem to continue unabated.

During one of my several tries since 8 a.m., I got the following message:

"Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/haineshisway/community/index.php on line 58
Too many connections"

Judging from the posts, thus far, we have not been plagued by "too many" anythings.

Oh, well.....

I stopped by my doctor's office this morning for blood to be drawn (preparatory to an appointment next week).

The phlebotomist (aka Vampire Princess of Little Experience But Big Fangs) used a high gauge needle in her first attempt, but stuck it into a small vein...and worked it around with no luck...and, giving up, she seemingly removed it by pulling it out "against" the direction in which it was inserted.  It still burns and throbs.

A smaller gauge needle in the other arm did the trick nicely.

But the first try has me bummed for now.

I woke up at 3am with a terrible sore throat.  This is not good, since I was supposed to go see my baby niece tonight.  Not sure how contagious what I have is (perhaps I can just be in the room with her without touching her).  Anyhow I have a doctor's appointment at 3pm, so i will ask him.  It's weird but I was feeling fine last night.  IT just really hit me all of a sudden without warning.  But it is so sore.  And even cepacol did not sooth it at all (which surprised me).

Anybody have any remedies?  So far i tried hot drinks (which felt good). And I also took a cold/sinus motrin in the middle of the night (which also helped).

1.  Don't visit with your niece tonight.  She won't be any the wiser.  What is plaguing you may be airborne and not reliant on touch.

2.  The best home remedy I know of for extreme sore throats is frequent (every hour or two, as needed) gargling with very warm salt water (i.e., use salt you have in your kitchen and dissolve it into really warm water...not scaldingly hot because you'll be gargling it).

3.  Don't go anywhere.  Rest, take plenty of liquids (swallowing them...NOT the salt water), take aspirin as directed on the product's instructions.

4.  Accept good health vibes from sundry and all, including me (moi aussi)!

FOr those with HDTV and an interest in the old RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER cartoon that's been playing for decades,

CBS has upconverted the one hour show to high definition, and its premiere is tonight. I haven't seen this in many, many years, but I will watch it just to see what changes the high definition have effected.

For once and for all, we'll learn that Rudolph's red nose was really a severe case of acne.

I think the host of this here site is having server problems and is not admitting them.  When I finally got an e-mail response from them yesterday (hours after the problems had been fixed) it said, "Loads fine for us."  Well, I'm sorry, they'd already FIXED it by then - and it was absolutely a problem on their end because it was down via AOL, safari, IE and every other browser known to man.  

Der Brucer doesn't really like pasta all that much.  So I don't cook it all that often.

~~Healthy thraat vibes~~~ for Jennifer

and I agree with Ron... Don't go see the baby... congestion and a sore throat can be a very bad thing for babies  who will cry and makes their throat sorer and cannot blow their tiny wee nosies themselves .


Tell them to order out for dinner...

Or, prepare dinner, take it to them and then return home.  She doesn't need to be around the father, either.

Good throat vibes for DRJENNIFER.
