More Mushrooms!

Tonight it was a portobella with red onion pie. Mozzarella, Parmesan and blue cheese.  Tonight's salad was a lot like last night's -- but with orange and walnuts on it too. I made the salad dressing with yogurt, sun-dried tomato, balsamic vinegar and the end of a bottle of roasted red pepper dressing -- and a dash of  that Badia sour orange marinade.  Aside from my desire to consume a lot of mushrooms and onion, I had wanted to do a portabella for The Big Guy because he ordered a sandwich with one this weekend and was very disappointed.  The goal was to successfully deliver his fix since his meal was a bust.

I had a funny pre-menopausal moment today that some of my readers might relate to... After my swim, I stopped in to Tops hoping to get chicken backs for the pup. Since I try to track my blood pressure, I stopped by the pharmacy to do that.  While I was sitting with my arm in the cuff, I noticed that Always maxi pads were being discontinued and were half price.  My goal has been to avoid stock-piling, but I hate paying full price for feminine protection and as a result decided to buy two packages.

My periods are still showing up, mostly on schedule -- and I am going to be 51 in a week and a half.  Sometimes I question if I need a serious stockpile of these supplies because who knows for how long I'll need the stuff?  Anyway, I was carrying the packages in my hands to the self-checkout because I had meat in my basket and didn't want those items together.  In the past, I would have  been a little sheepish about prancing around with femmie products for all to see.  Then I thought, well, it would make me look younger. I mean, how many 50-something menopausal women walk through the supermarket with an armload of sanitary pads?  I was feeling a little bit foxy about that. Hey, I don't look like an old lady! Then I realized people would just as soon think I was buying them for my teenaged daughter.  So once again, I wasn't feeling so great about menstruating.  Hey, at least I got a good deal?
