My pain level must have been more then I thought it was, there is pain and I find it in many different ways trying to get movement back. Walked about a football field and a half yesterday, stretching to get my leg flat seems to be the hardest one on me. I walk without my cain but they get on to me when they see it. Getting better everyday, stitches should come out next fry-day. View attachment 343185View attachment 343186
That's progress. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery
 
I've never eaten a plantain.
Yer missin' sumpin. Very ripe plantains sliced into oblong pieces and fried as a side dish for many things is wonderful; slightly carameled. And it ain't "this is a nice taste", but "gobble yummy" like perfect french fries.

I reckon I'll have to figure out a way to make a batch for myself. Pretty sure my wife won't eat 'em - they're HEALTHY.
And it sounds as if they TASTE GOOD. Nope...I'll be makin' 'em for myself. Can they be reheated?

Glad you're coming along so well...not letting the moss grow under your feet for sure.

(*snig*) Dunno -- never had any to reheat.

Fry them until they are golden. They will be sweet and slightly caramel-chewy.

Serve 'em with black beans and rice. Or just black beans. Or anything like Puerto Rico Chicken and Rice. Even just mashed potatoes go with plantains well.
 
Well, it's here, and I ain't sure I want it now...42F this morning, and I am about to freeze...lol I give up on my greenhouse, was a cheapy, and giving me too many problems. Hoping to sell it, if not, to scrap it goes...Ordered a better one supposed to be here Weds., so of course it's supposed to rain the first time in 3 weeks.
We tried introducing the new kitty to our other two, last Weds. Didn't work out so well, so back to the drawing board. Both females wanted to jump on my poor boy Jethro, he was just a bystander watching them howling at each other. Wait a bit longer and try again, hate for Daisy to have to stay on the porch so long.
 
Morning everybody. Had a rough night last night. Wife woke me up said I was moaning and wiggling around. Took half a pain med and went back to sleep. Running a little slow this morn. Wife has to go to work and I need to stretch and walk.

@BudSniffer I got your package ready, as soon as I find my tape, l'll get it in the mail.

You have an air fryer? That would be the best way. I have just microwaved them but not as good as air fryer. They taste like you just made them
 
I dont know but I restarted my phone it still looks screwed up and its hard as hell to see anything everything is stretched out
I've had it happen several times on my laptop. I think it's the site. I also get a lag when posting. I think Pute puts me on slo-mo.... 🤪
