Going to the dentist for a new crown. You know my drill (no pun intended): little Deedee has been instructed to stay home. This time I set out soup ingredients for later. A promise. A place keeper.
Today I am strangely calm even though I have (yet another) new-to-me dentist. Even though they might have to cut the gum to get to the top of the implant. Even though I just generally loathe these procedures.
See you on the other side!
PS Don’t bother with the Salem’s Lot remake on Netflix.
And I forgot my new dental coverage card. Oy!
Update: it was just an imaging session — you know, when they run that wand-camera along your gums and pictures of your teeth magically appear on the computer screen?
I am equal parts amazed (how is this technology even possible?) and horrified (are those fossil-looking collection of teeth MINE?)
Best of fortune as you embark on this new procedure. The ingredients for your soup look delicious!
Thank you! Soup is better when I use homemade stock but I’ll make do with boxed today.
Dee, somehow my post was “anonymous”! Not meant to be😍
I will post something about signing comments because this happens a lot. Sorry!
As you sit in the dentist chair, close your eyes and crown yourself the Queen of Good Reads and let the weight of this procedure lighten as you consider how many of us are so thrilled to have read your novel, The Weight of Cloth.
AND then there is soup when you get home. Nothing is more comforting than a bowl of soup, especially if it has garlic! Garlic for flavor but also garlic is needed for medicinal purposes, especially this month of October and early November. Why you ask? Well this is the season when blood sucking vampires, evil creatures, zombies, (I do not include witches in with evil creatures) roam the land BUT wait, they already do, politically speaking…
SO I need to string an entire bulb of garlic as a necklace of protection to wear on top of my Harris for President t-shirt! I used to string a single clove of garlic on Friday the 13th but this calls for an entire bulb! It’s a good thing I am casting my vote via mail, ballot should come tomorrow, cause I know you can’t wear political items when you go vote and I doubt they would let me in wearing a garlic bulb necklace, no matter how necessary…
You’re too funny and it’s particularly poignant having just watched a vampire movie!
Soup is ready and I decided to make buttermilk biscuits. Yum
my eyes teared up. more tooth work????
I want to know when you are on the other side of this.
Maybe never? But after November, I’m praying I’ll be done for a while.
That quilt is amazing, Dee. I have photnjmc
@marti I haven’t gotten to the garlic necklace in The Weight of Cloth, but this is interesting. Dee, did you come across the use of cotton seeds, and the cotton seed necklace (in general).
correction: I have photos of quilts of yours if you want…
Oh man…the tooth stuff and new dentists. I get that second part. I do not much care for my new one, but it is what it is for now. Good luck when you go in for the real work.
The quilt at your brother’s looks so homey 🙂
Nancy
biscuits with soups and stews are the best!
I know it is unusual to say the least, a garlic necklace! but the garlic necklace that I spoke of is not from the book but is my off and on ritual, based on superstitions from my Spanish family…,
