A year ago, I definitely did not have “write a whole cookbook series” on my bingo card. 😂

I started because cooking had gotten harder with Parkinson’s, and I kept thinking there had to be a better way to make recipes work on the days when my hands, brain, balance, or energy were not cooperating.

So I started writing down what actually helped.

And somehow that turned into books.

Still a little weird when I say that out loud.

Apparently driving is also playtime. 😂

Felix has absolutely no respect for my need to operate a vehicle.

I only need 4 more Android testers to get What’s in the Fridge? over Google Play’s next hurdle. 📱🥦

Right now I have 8 officially opted in, and Google requires 12 before the 14-day testing countdown can begin.

If you have an Android phone and are willing to help, send me the Gmail address you use with Google Play first. I have to add you to the tester list before the link will work.

Once I add you, I’ll send you the opt-in link.

If you were already testing for me on Base44, you still have full access as a thank-you for helping. I just need you to opt in again through Google Play so Google actually counts you.

Four more people. That’s it. 😂💚

Oops Parkinson’s moment of the week 😂

I just got a reminder on my phone for a doctor appointment tomorrow.

Except… it says DENTIST. 🦷

It’s actually with my regular doctor.

If my doctor’s office hadn’t called to reschedule, I would have shown up at the completely wrong office.

At least I remembered I had an appointment. That counts, right? 😂

Off-grid reality:

Sometimes the most important appliance in the house is the generator. 😂

No dramatic wilderness survival scene.
No chopping wood in slow motion.
Just me listening to the engine and thinking,
“Please don’t make a weird noise today.”

The peacocks are back at Camp Roozy.

Beautiful? Absolutely.

Peaceful? Absolutely not. 😂

They wander around like they own the place, yell for no reason, and apparently exist solely to offend Felix on a personal level.

Felix takes peacock patrol VERY seriously.

One feather moves wrong and he is on duty.

Honestly, I think he believes this is why we hired him.

Want water? Cool. Go get it. 😂

Living off grid sounds peaceful, and it is, but there are a whole bunch of little jobs that magically happen in a regular house that we have to actually think about out here.

Water has to be hauled.
Propane has to be filled.
The generator needs fuel.
Firewood does not stack itself.
Dog water disappears at an alarming rate.
And apparently trash can reproduce if ignored long enough.

It’s not harder every single day.

It’s just more hands-on.

And somehow, this has become normal life.

Behind the scenes of getting ready for Good Day Sacramento:
Practice questions? Yep.
Trying not to ramble? Working on it.
Remembering what I actually wanted to say? Questionable. 😂
Trying not to swear on live TV?
That may be the real challenge.
I’m excited, though.
Nervous too, but mostly excited.
September 19 is coming fast.

Things I didn’t know about Parkinson’s:
Apathy is an actual symptom.
It can look like a loss of motivation, interest, or initiative, even when the person isn’t depressed and even when they still care about the thing they’re not doing.
That’s the weird part.
You can want to do something, know you need to do it, and still have trouble getting yourself started.
It’s one of those Parkinson’s symptoms people don’t usually talk about because everyone expects tremors.
But Parkinson’s can affect a lot more than movement.

Recipe #3 for This Should Be Easy: Fall & Winter Edition 🍂🧀

Chicken Broccoli Rice Bake is one of those dinners that earns its keep. Toss everything into one dish, stir it together, cover it with cheese, and let the oven take over.

Use cooked chicken, frozen broccoli, and microwave rice if you want to make it even easier.

Warm, filling, low-fuss, and very little kitchen nonsense. 💚
