dreaming...

Well, my blue cheese artichoke pie is delicious cold.  Wow.  What a find.  I need to dream up some other variations.

--

Remember those nightmares you had in school and for years after about missing a test or showing up in class naked or some other school horror?  Well, I've finally outgrown them and now I have nightmares about money.

I have plenty.  It hasn't always been that way but I've worked hard, saved hard, was lucky enough to inherit some.  I have a low interest mortgage and a very low interest 2nd mortgage and no other debt.  I am very lucky.  

BUT I am also childless and husbandless and fairly familyless.  There is no one to pay my TiVo and internet bills until the day I die but me.  PLUS, since no one will take care of me when I can no longer take care of myself, I will need to hire people.  So, in reality, what is plenty now, might - in the not too distant future - be not nearly enough. 

I don't spend my waking hours worrying about money. I still earn more than I am probably worth. 

But, when I'm asleep, I can easily discover a debt I never knew about or a huge bill I totally forgot about or just lose my money somewhere.  It's disconcerting.

Oh every time I have one of those dreams, I wake up and double check every account I have, then I download all the information and back it up onto another haddrive. So maybe the dream is my data protection plan!

Maybe you should also freeze a half-serving of the blue cheese artichoke pie and try reheating it? I have a mushroom-spinach one like that, and it freezes/reheats tasting good, a little soggy but still edible.

Good idea and done! I cut up the rest in single servings and wrapped them and put them in the freezer. Good test.

And, meanwhile.. mushrooms! Now that would make a good ingredient... maybe instead the artichokes...

I love blue chees and I love artichokes. I'm printing out that recipe!

Oh yeah. I've had a ltc policy for years now. And I know from Mom's experience that it's very helpful.
