Meal's

In the last week friends of our have been dropping off food for us. It has been so nice! I knew a lot of them were good cooks and no one has disappointed us.

Its so nice to know that we have friends that help out in this difficult time as I am recovering. It has not been easy on my man, since he has to help me shower and all. It has helped him not be so burdened with everything.

I had no idea how many different rice and chicken dishes people could come up with and they are all great. None of them have been repeats of the same dish. They have also been kind enough to make a salad and drop off dressing. It's been really kind of them and interesting what we get the next night. We now have plenty of left overs for this week.

We did have to get out of the house and for the 1st time ever,as a couple we went to the OC Fair. I had wanted to see the piglets they showed on TV. I was not disappointed. There were day old piglets and they still had their umbilical cords attached. They were cute and pink and one had spots and was so happy nursing on he huge mom. Ok I knew pigs were big, but these momma pigs were huge. Seeing the babies in comparison was quite a big difference.

There was also two day old kids. That's goat and not humans. The kids were all leg and stumbled a bit. Even at two day the twins a boy and girl were literally butting heads. It was cute to see them play and try to head butt each other. We also petted the sheep and other farm animals. It was great and not that I have my chickens and used their droppings for fertilizer, ok farming. This year I am much more interested in the other farm animals and what we gain from them. The sign above the goats said they are used for meat. So there you go. Also they clean up and will eat anything, like the one after my parasol.

I was never told how much good food there was at the fair. The theme this year is "Let's Eat" if that gives you a clue. We did have some really great BBQ ribs. In all the years my friends have gone they have talked about the animals and rides and eating too much fried foods. Nothing about smoked ribs. I might have gone in other years had I known. We did try a deep fried twinky, it was good. Nothing I wanted seconds on, but worth the try.

In an effort to get out of the house more and before we had a new meal brought buy, we did manage a quick trip to the mall. It was nice to see my friends at Chanel and Dior and Louise Vuitton. At Dior we were treated to some champagne. With all the stress of the last two weeks, I needed a bit of luxury. Looking at nice things always cheers me up. I was able to talk shop as well since I have been in the retail industry of late. After some free champagne and feeling tired from walking, we went home. Shortly after we got home, our friends dropped off some pot roast. Thank you cards are going out this week, for all that cooked for us. We have been very grateful for their help! Thank you again!
