Garlic Ricotta Mashed Potatoes


Garlic Ricotta Mashed Potatoes 

6-8 garlic cloves cooked in oil for 8 minutes (whole head)
1 cup ricotta cheese
dash or more of cream
2 pounds of peeled potatoes, cooked soft
salt and pepper to taste

Garlic cloves are roasted in bit of olive oil with skins on. Let cool and remove skins and mash insides and set aside. Mash potatoes and add garlic and salt and pepper. Lastly stir in ricotta and cream if needed. Garnish with fresh chives and serve. Gary had half of these left overs. The chives really were tasty.

Holy Smoke


Holy Smoke

Since October 3 last year I've been bedridden off and on and had to beg for help. Maneuvering the health system is exhausting. At one point my BP was 90/50 and hospital wanted me to take my lowering BP medication. Sometimes folks are alive because they have their wits about them. Luckily I worked in hospitals for years and do a lot of research on my own.

I still have a myriad things wrong with me and now a pile of bills. We shall see.
