Better Forking vegan Mac and cheese review

I found better forking Vegan Mac and cheese at Home Sense. It was $4.99 The ingredients are simple slightly different than other Mac and Cheese as it has potato and coconut flour in it. The instructions say to cook the pasta for 7-8 minutes but I found mine took 10 to cook.  I don’t always follow instructions when I cook but I am trying to have the same comparisons for all my mac and cheese reviews. Usually the instructions will say to make the sauce by adding vegan butter, plant milk, and cheese packet then add the pasta. The steps were slightly different on the box drain the pasta and quickly put it back in the pan. Add the butter stir. Add the powder stir. Add the plant milk stir. Then let sit for a couple minutes. I tried the pasta with seasoning before I added the milk and I really liked it. It tasted like nacho cheese powder. When I added the milk the taste changed it may be because I only had almond milk it’s not bad though. I added some parmela creamy vegan cheese and really li

Week of November 20 -steamer, lunch at Pasta Polo, and Moview at VIP theater

-


My steamer arrived from amazon. The tip had broken of my old one a long time ago so I had been using it without the attachments for so long. I forgot how much better being able to attach a brush or a cloth to the steamer is. I didn't know they were so cheap or I would have bought a new one a long time ago. This steamer is a little bit smaller than my old one which means I have to refill it more often but that is okay just do sections at a time. I hate cleaning but I love steaming its so easy and fun to spray the steam and wipe it after the steam is so hot it disinfects. The brush attachment is great for giving thing a little srcub. I also love how shiny things are after they are sprayed with steam.

Sunday fun day after going for the blood test I arranged weeks ago I went to lunch and a movie with my best friend, her sister, and her step mom. We have been friends for 17 years so they are family now. We started out having lunch at pasta polo which is known for their quality pasta and growing their own herbs. They have a three course menu for $20. I started with a salad and the others with minestrone soup all very good. They also offered freshly grated parmesan cheese and black pepper. which we happily accepted. I ordered spinach and cheese manicotti it was the only vegetarian dish on the three course menu when it arrived it was actually two separate pastas. The spinach and cheese manicotti was filled with lots of spinach and cheese and the other pasta was penne. I think it was a rose sauce but I am not sure it was good. Two others had seafood manicotti, and one fettucine alfredo that wasn't part of the three course menu. For dessert there was ice cream with espresso sauce or tiramisu three of us had the ice cream and one that was seperate had tiramisu it was very good. I couldn't taste much of the espresso in the ice cream the sauce was good and I could see the ground coffee.



After we were stuffed we went to the vip theater at silver city. The vip theater has assigned seats a private bar area and servers that bring food to your table. One person ordered wine at the bar and the rest of us got water to take to our seats the one large glass of wine cost $14. The food prices are much more reasonable.  We were full so need to order food to our chairs but I did notice there isn't enough servers to get orders out before the movie starts they really need to automate the ordering process. I have been to this theater a few times and noq I can't go to regular theaters as they aren't the same. I do not see movies much so for me they are a treat. My friend used her scene points to get our movie tickets. We saw the arrival and all 4 of us agreed that the movie was terrible. It had a good story but really poor execution it was very boring and not exciting to watch. The four of us never agree on anything so it had to be pretty bad. I was having a hard time not falling asleep in the comfy chair I think I did fall asleep a couple of times. The experience of the theater is good even if the movie isn't.

Recovery Six months after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

-
It has been over six months since I had Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). I have some previous blogs about getting diagnosed and the day of the procedure. You can read them here my-experience-having-uterine-fibroid.html  and Fibroids-ultrasound-mri-and-ufe-.html  Now it is time to talk about recovery. I will start with right after the procedure to now. It is about seven months after the procedure now.  Where I live you stay overnight in the hospital for pain management they give you a self controlled morphine pump. There are other places where you will go home 4 hours after the procedure. I remember being in my room and people telling me they were going to put things in a locker I asked them to give me the ginger coconut water I had in the bag. I knew I wasn't going to be allowed to get up for hours nor did I feel like it I didn't realize that I wouldn't be allowed to get up all night because of the urinary catheter. It didn't matter because I had no desire to get up

My experience having a Uterine Fibroid Embolization

-
It has been a month since I had Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). Today is the first day since I have been able to walk to the mall. Prior to the procedure this was a normal everyday walk for me it takes around 20 minutes. I’m currently sitting outside the mall drinking Starbucks preparing for the walk home. It also started pouring rain I’m also hoping it stops by the time I’m finished writing this.  If you have not read my previous post it is here it explains the procedure. This post will mostly be about the day of the procedure and I will write another post about recovery. For context a month ago when I had the procedure our hospitals were still overwhelmed and tomorrow my area will be entering phase 2 of opening.  I have never had a procedure done at a hospital before. With Covid restrictions and many surgeries postponed I was not expecting it to be busy. I was wrong there were lots of people.  I first had to go into a room and sign all the consent forms. After that I went to a wa

Fibroids, Ultrasound, MRI and UFE during a pandemic

-
This has been a two year journey so far I am not sure why I have been procrastinating on writing this. I think it’s very important to that woman talk about their experiences. I did not know what fibroids were until I was diagnosed with them.   I went to my doctor one day because it had been a few months since I had a period. Previous to that I was getting them every 2-4 weeks. There was no chance that I was pregnant and I had started a job where I was the only female in the office. In the past my cycle was influenced by other woman. I was not around any so I originally thought it was normal then I wondered if I was going into early menopause. I was in my forties and started my period when I was 10.  My doctor assured me that because I have hypothyroidism and low iron irregular cycles are normal. I have a good doctor so she decided to take a look at my pelvis she noticed it was swollen. Then she told me to go get an ultrasound. It is easy to get an ultrasound appointment here. I have ne
