When Life Gets You Down......

Sometimes, we just can't help but feel like life has kicked us in the teeth, but the longer we stay in this low mood the harder it is to climb out of the hole. For this reason alway keep Pork Chops and Taters on hand. I'm on my way to the kitchen NOW!!!

Judy's cure for the blues!!!

I was outside working, tripped over a water hose, landed on my bottom, jarring my poor damaged rib and just started bawling. Too much stress will do that to a person.

Now if I had lived in any other part of this USA, I'm sure I would have gone to bed with a big bowl of ice cream like all those movies on TV want you to think, but we're tough out here in the country.

I got a package of pork chops out of the freezer, thawed those babies and commenced to start cooking. Dipped them in flour with lots of salt & pepper, popped them in a skillet full of hot grease and while they were cooking I sliced up a big batch of potatoes. When the chops were ready I tossed in the potatoes, fixed a pitcher of ice tea, took up the taters, piled it all on a big tray and asked Bob if he wanted to join me, I was going to sit and eat this greasy food with my fingers, til I felt better!!!

My attitude is better, but my stomach doesn't know what to think, it's been a long time since I drowned my sorrows in grease!!!

Food cures all ailments in this house.. Sad...eat....happy....eat....have a fever...eat....upset stomach...eat (crackers)

Hope the food did the miracle cure and you are feeling better. I'm trying to decide whether to wake up DH and ask to go to the ice cream parlor - it is Sundae after all....

Cute!!! I'm so weird, give me a pork chop over a bowl of ice cream any time.

Our family seems to need lots of comfort food, all of the time! My favorite is pork chops seasoned and fried with lots of onions (Vidalias this time of year), flour stirred into the fat and milk stirred to make gravy. Cook until chops are done. I make the mashed potatoes while the chops are cooking and drown my troubles with a full plate. Hope your bum feels better soon and the ribs, too.

Ahh Judy I have had those days to often lately. I hope you are okay and feeling better now. I guess our food cure all in the summer is angle food cake and fresh strawberries. When I have that everybody kind of eats up and don't bother me much. lol I surprise them once in a while and just have for the heck of it when it's fresh strawberry time. lol

The key to living a good life is recognize our needs, not wants, but NEEDS as in "I needs more plants". lol lol lol
