Busy day.
Quilt guild.
Lunch. Nap. Cleaning up.
More Cleaning up. The kitcthen had gotten quickly
a bit out of contorl with mess because I was trying so hard to get other parts of hte house
clean... including the kitchen floor.
I just vacuumed YESTERDAY and there is already DUST on the kitchen floor.
We hope to get a HVAC guy in soon to clean our vents...
Realized that we are just too tired to go out
to vespers, exceptionally stayed in and prayed vespers at home.
And we were waiting for our new air purifier, it was out for delivery since
10 AM, finally came at 7 PM....

I made Elie's lamb dish.
I knew her in my undergrad days; she grew up in Isreal and was a really good friend of mine...
I do have to see if I still have her email, as I was thinking of her so much,
making this dish...
It is so good.
The lamb meat was not very lean, so the only thing I did
that was different than the recipe is that there was a lot of extra fat/grease
when it was all done and in the serving bowl; so I drained a bunch of that out;
or maybe I drained it out in the bowl, but before I added the lentils, I think that is right...
we were glad that we had the fat for the cooking of it, as fat = flavour,
but we really needed it drained so that it was not greasy / over fat for eating.
It drained well and easily.
And it was just as good as I remember it!!
See recipe above!
Oh, and I did not have beef bullion so used 2 cups beef stock and 1/2 cup water.

Folks, we are a bit worried about Husband's breathing.
It's gotten worse this week, not better. ... And it was already bad at the
beginning of the week...
He's on meds... for it... plus his continued insomnia, it's getting difficult for us.
We will be following up with doctors and are doing everything
we possibly can.
I am worried; my beloved is too tired and too pale, like when he was
sick/exhausted after getting that terrible flu back in the Spring...
I've been sleeping on the couch since Tuesday because my
down feather duvet (I get really cold at night) is not up to code.
We ordered a new one, it's coming + a special dust mite cover for it.
Thankfully the air purifier did come and is working great in the bedroom.
This is what it looks like:
It as red when we first turned it on, which means poor air quality.
It's not red anymore, but it's not always staying at 'blue' which means 'good' either.
Anyway, it's been a bit of a challenging day,
just in terms of feeling like we are not making a lot of headway on
getting the house in order and Husband feeling better.
Please pray for us.
I am so thankful for my Husband and love him so much....
