It is a cold and windy day today. Very grey and Noreastery, if that is even a word. This is the Winter that never went away! My plant bulbs are so slow to grow. I am just going to make this a cooking day. I have carne asada and pico de gallo marinating in the fridge. I am going to make home made chicken fingers and baked mac and cheese. Natalie has her friend staying this weekend. They both wanted the mac and cheese. I am going to stick with the meat and veggies. I have some yummy asparagus that I am going to steam for myself also. Put some olive oil and sea salt on top..Heaven!
Dentist appointment was yesterday and it was not very good in one sense. Most of my teeth, gums, and pockets are improving. But I have to have a consultation with a periodontist about the four bottom molars. They all have issues. I may need bone grafting. I found out from a friend that dental insurance usually only pays about 50%. I could end up having to pay like $400 or more for each procedure. I do not have cash like that! I am not going to worry right now. I will wait until I hear what the perio has to say. My mouth was killing me yesterday into last night. I did not even go to my friend, A`s house for food and gossip. I will go over there on Sunday instead.
So I was dealt another crappy card. It is a combo of genetics, smoking, and the diabetes. I found out that when you have bad teeth like this, it can affect your blood sugars. Not the other way around like some professionals thought. Very interesting, huh?
Okay, back to cooking for me. I am going to get off here and start the chicken fingers. They have to marinate in a bag for an hour.
Sorry dear! :( Teeth are very important to overall general health, as well as the feet. I hope it's all worked out soon for you. :)
