6 August 2024
It’s been a good day. My back still hurts but not as badly as before. I suspect it’ll be a long, drawn out affair to get back to my normal self.
Today, I hosted a truffle tasting. The truffles are from Chocolat by Adam Turoni in Savannah. I invited Jim, Holley and Barbara to share the tasting with me.
The selections were Mint Julip, Blood Orange, Roasted Fig and Cognac, Habanero Caramel, Georgia Peach Cream, Cafe Americano, and Lover’s Perfect Caramel.
To be honest, it’s hard to choose a favorite but I really did like the Roasted Fig and Cognac and Cafe Americano. These are, simply, some of the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted.
Barbara brought goat cheese, crackers, olives, almonds, Greek honey, and candied orange slices. She went with a Greek theme since she had just returned from Greece. Oh yeah, she also brought a small bottle of Ouzo!
Jim and Holley brought ribs from Flanigans along with salad, Cole slaw and French fries. Obviously, there wasn’t enough food. And, we killed a bottle of red wine.
It’s such fun when this group gets together. There were a lot of laughs. We did commiserate with Barb. In getting ready to come over here, she fell and twisted her ankle. I told her imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but I didn’t need to be flattered. Please don’t imitate me in my falls! She’s gonna ice the ankle down and I told her if it is not better by morning to call me and I can, for once, take her to urgent care.
Around noon, I knew I needed to give my back a rest so I climbed into bed and thought a short nap would revive me. I waked at 3 pm. So much for a short nap. I got hopping to get ready for my tasting at 4:30.
Tomorrow is a fasting blood draw with my endocrinologist. Otherwise, I have only one other appointment on Thursday with the neurologist. It’s strange not to have doctors’ appointments filling my calendar.
Stay tuned!
