January 22

I finally got on-line wireless. I'm setting in the old recliner in the front room typing this message. I'm thinking that it slows the system down considerably but I'm not sure yet. Still have nothing to type but what's new? I do think it is easier to type on this than on the keyboard. And that is what Glenda said too.

No casino visit's today. Just sit around here and watch the football games. All our meals for the day will be home cooked too. The first one is behind us now, probably literally! Glenda made some low-carb pancakes from a box that she paid a dollar for and has had here for about a year. You might already be thinking bad? On the back of the box it said for 2 pancakes, use one tbs of oil, one egg and 1/2 cup of water. Down lower in the instructions is said pour in all the ingredients of the box. Glenda said she couldn't even stir the mixture. She ended up adding water till it seemed right and cooking up sixteen pancakes. With the low carb syrup on them they were pretty good tho we couldn't eat that many. Later, we found on the end of the box, a better set of directions. For what she cooked she should have used three more eggs and three more tbs of oil. The extra water that she had to use was correct.

I can hardly wait for supper. She has plans for a fresh chicken, baked and served on rice that is a new purchase too. I'm not privy to what else will be served but it already sounds pretty good.
