Soft Tissue Damage or Something for the Meantime

Well, the foot was not broken. It was just soft tissue damage, but they found another bone spur. This one is in my "good" foot. YAAAAAY! Bullocks.

Since we are still waiting on the book, and I don't want to start cooking full GoRam (That one's for you, Firefly fans!) dishes until I get it, I am going to do something tonight for dinner to tide us all over:

This is a GoRam recipe courtesy of goodtoknow.co.uk:

Gordon Ramsay's Brussels sprouts with pancetta:

Ingredients

• 1kg Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1–2 tsp olive oil
• 200g pancetta, cut into lardons
• 200g vacuum-packed chestnuts
• 2 lemons

So here we are going to cut these sprouts lengthwise, blanch 'em, fry 'em up with pancetta and chestnuts, and serve 'em warm. I will be serving these with an oven baked chicken breast with my own blend of spices I call the "Cody Spice" (Onion, garlic, italian 3-spice, Tony Chachere's Cajun Spice, cayenne, salt, pepper, and good old fashioned lovin'.). Tomorrow morning I'll come at you guys with a full play-by-play, including nerve-damaged fumbles and numb-handed flubs. Oh, and, of course, pictures of the food. Come for the food, stick around to watch the funny disabled guy try to do normal everyday things. Stick around, it will, at very least, be a good laugh!

The Waiting Game or My Left Foot

Well, the book is shipping. It's estimated delivery date is June 4-17? What the what? It won't take that long. I have ordered from Bahamut before, and they are quick, quick, quick. I am expecting it to be here by monday so we can get started!

In other news, my good foot may be broken. I went to the clinic today because it has been giving me trouble for a couple of weeks, and it got worse because I walked too much yesterday. Today it is all bruised and swollen, and, my doctor thought it was broken promptly followed by the disclaimer, "I am not a radiologist, though... I would give you crutches, but you would come in with a head injury next if I did." She knows me and my crazy body too well. Point is, it hurts. I go very soon for my mid-programs interview to talk about how we need to move forward with my degree and whatnot, and tonight's dinner is looking like a turkey breast tenderloin that is, sadly, frozen and pre-seasoned. Not much I can do with this foot like this. It limits me even more than I already was... So that'll get popped into the crockpot before I head to shoot some stuff for my buddy Michael Pharis' new independently independent film "The Rock of Gibraltar" tonight. Come to think of it, I need to go look over my lines. Keep me in your prayers, I am in a lot of pain... And someone come do my laundry for me... :(
