I would love to try one some day. Sounds like a real treat.
How are you today?
It's so simple! I use 8 tablespoons of plain flour, 3 eggs, salt and pepper, enough milk to make it into a thickish batter. Heat the oven to 180-200, put some fat in a deep tray and heat until smoking then pour the batter in and bake until golden brown. Don't open the oven door until it's ready. Generally takes about 40-45 minutes, less if you're making individual ones.
I'm ok, taking it fairly easy as it's freezing here today.
Yorkshire puds and basically a thick pancake mix.
And tastes amazing with gravy!!!
Oh absolutely! Is a Sunday roast even a Sunday roast without Yorkshire puds and lashings of gravy?
Slurp! When I lived in Sheffield, our next door neighbours used to have a big yorkshire pud with jam on it!! Never heard of that before!..much prefer gravy made from the meat juices!...now I'm starting to slobber like an old dog!
Love a good toad in the hole
I use the chipolatas from Lidl in toad in the hole, they're lovely!
Haven't had toad in the hole for ages! - we used to have it at school, and we called it 'frog in the bog'! Might get Ian to make Toad in the hole...he's making a curry for tonight.
How's your day been?
You mentioning curry, I saw someone post online how one of her favourite meals is pasta with tikka massala sauce. It actually sound really nice so might have to try it sometime
Awww, is it worth talking to your rheumy team about your pain?
It was fine until I made T's bed. I asked him to take his teddies off and he didn't so I had to stretch for them.
Is the house a bit warmer now?
It is. Too warm in some rooms!
Maybe next time you leave it until he is home and he can do it either on his own or with you? Then he gets the consequences, but not being told off, but actually maybe if he saw how much it helped if he did x y z then he might want to do more? What you ask? Positive reinforcement maybe? Try turning the tables a bit?
I'm not sure it will make much difference tbh but J is ringing the drs tomorrow so hopefully we can get some support in place
It might make things easier for all of you...
Fingers crossed. We're sat discussing your idea at the moment
Hope the wrists are easier today. X
Thank you. They're stiff so back to compression gloves today I think. My inflammation levels have doubled from last month so there has been an issue.
When I read how your inflammation is going I find it terrible. I can relate a little as I am also prone to inflammation and at times its some of the worst pain I have experienced so far. I hope the rest of the day will be a bit better for you (bear)
What about calling your rheumy team? Could you need to up your methotrexate or need some steroids or something?
My mum can't get through and she's been without her biologic for 3 weeks! I'm ok, my levels aren't massively high so I can manage it!
Wow, how come she's been without it?
But if you could take something to make it easier, why wouldn't you?
Supply issues apparently!
I don't think it's bad enough to bother the rheumy team or need steroids but I do take ibuprofen when my levels are a bit higher than normal. I find that helps with the aching and any pain quite quickly. The cold isn't helping.
Supply issues? Ahh, the good old "it's Brexit's fault" line? Alas, I've heard it lots of times too....
Just be careful, and tbh if it's causing you problems then it's definitely worth contacting them, and you definitely couldn't be a "bother" at all...
I promise I will be careful. I've asked J for help to make our bed, he wouldn't even let me hoover the other day, he took the hoover off me! And I carried a bag of shopping on my forearm rather than in my hand and J wouldn't let me take any more then that! Plus he's only back at work tomorrow then it's his long weekend so it's not as if I have a lot of opportunity to get up to no good! He's a bit bossy really! Been told off loads for not drinking enough too. So I'm being good
Being Good? I wasn’t sure those words were in your vocabulary lol
I can do good!!!
Good at not doing as your told. Good at being bad. Hehe. Nah to be fair you are good at being my friend. I’ll give you that.
I'm so glad he's taking care of you!
Hooray for the appointment! Be honest - and do not downplay how much pain and discomfort you've been in. Do not be a martyr...
Would I???
Erm..... YES
Pft!!!
She’s right, you know .....
Pft!
To be honest, there hasn't been a huge amount of pain, mainly discomfort. Fatigue has been the biggest issue. And I am honest as I'm aware of how much damage it can do if not treated properly.
