Old photos and frog balls.

I enjoy Brussels sprouts for dinner now and then, and have had tasty shaved sprouts salads….

But no.

To the name and the idea.

I beg to differ.

Has anyone measured our President?

I found this old picture of us on the back of a lobster boat in a drawer the other day. Taken a few years after we were married, maybe 1988? My hair was a mess from being on the water, but I fondly remember having two fully functional (and thin!) knees.

I can see that.

Am I the only one who never knew this?

🥴

      1. Not trying to talk you into knee replacement, but my husband’s scar looks surprisingly good. I thought it would be awful, but it’s really not. It’s totally flat. (in case that’s on your list of worries)

      3. I feel you. Not sure I’d do it myself…unless I really couldn’t enjoy my life.
        When we went to the pre-op seminar, they encouraged people to picture all the things they’d be able to do when fully healed…from traveling the world to simple stuff like walking down an aisle in the grocery store with no pain.

      4. I guess I’m just worried about finding the right orthopedist. The two I saw previously were not helpful and the guy everyone I ask recommends doesn’t accept our insurance ( military Tricare ).

  2. I like Brussels sprouts. I like pickled things. But pickled sprouts? No, thank you.

    That snail/slug meme is a real gem.

    While I knew how to boil things, I never made the connection between whether they grow above or below ground. 🤔

  3. Wow River, those are some great legs! But, we all had them when we were young. I remember thinking I had great legs too, then I had kids and my calves became cows and have struggled to find boots to fit these damn cows 🫤. I like Brussels sprouts, but not enough to have them pickled, yuck. I knew about boiling certain veggies in cold water first in my home economics class, been doing it all my life.

    1. Unless I’m blanching I pretty much start everything in cold water… guess I shouldn’t.
      As for young legs, yes I miss them being toned and attractive … but I really miss a pain free knee and being able to wear heels without a bunion.
      Getting old sucks!

  6. What a lovely picture of you! That snail thing is funny. I HAVE actually heard the boil v. cold water thing, but I sort of forgot/ignored it. Now that I’ve been reminded again, I’ll try to be more mindful of it. What an intriguing thing. And who discovers this? Are we being had?

  11. Oooh I like all of these images! I like pickled things, I laughed at the divorce (my husband is the snail), I never thought about my knees until I tore mine, and I didn’t know that about boiling. How full-circle we’ve come that I will ask a cooking-expert friend to verify!

  12. Laughing at the snail/slugs!

    We never fully appreciate our working limbs/parts/insides until they stop doing so. I hope you’ve made some progress on getting attention to your not-so-happy knee.
