Welcome to my virtual kitchen!

I hope you enjoy your visit here, whether it’s your first time or your 30th. I first started sharing my recipes as Facebook Notes, until my friends began asking how they could share them with their friends; so I gathered my courage and tiptoed into the world of blogging via Tumblr. As interest in my blog started “cooking,” my wonderful hubby set me up at WordPress with my own domain. (All the content from my previous blog moved here as well.) Let me know what you think, and be sure to bookmark it for future reference!

My other hobby, scrapbooking, is also documented at WordPress here.

Hospital Food (and Beyond)

As of this writing, I am still in the recovery process following emergency surgery for sepsis in mid-April. After 22 days of being treated at 3 different hospitals, I was discharged to home and have been cared for by my dear husband and biweekly home health wound care. I won’t go into the details of my surgery (for good reason) or the daily struggles of my recovery; but since this is a food blog, and since I do have photos of food I ate in the hospitals [because hubby asked me regularly, “what are you eating?”] and at home [since hubby and friends have been providing very good eats], it seemed appropriate to share them here on the blog [along with a few fun shots of me, hospital rooms, and others].

Slideshows below, in order: Erlanger Hospital Surgical ICU, Erlanger Hospital Trauma Step-Down Unit, Siskin Hospital for Rehabilitation, and Home Sweet Home. (Notice the commonality of pancakes across all venues.)

I was also treated at Erlanger North Hospital Emergency Room, but was sent to the main campus after only a few hours; I received excellent care there as well (just no meals).
