I had my post-surgery appointment today, and the surgeon gave me the best news ever: I can keep my arm out of the sling while awake, and even sleep on my (left) side!!! I can’t think of any news that would’ve made me happier… OK, turns out I totes can, but that would veer into thematic territory generally frowned upon here.
My PIC has been helping out wherever & however he can, despite being terribly busy with the semester — feeding us every day, and even trying to master The Art Of The Ponytail with far more patience than I’ve been able to muster 
I’m still no use in the kitchen, so near future meals will be kept simple.
Last night was another fabulous Sichuan jour fixe with friends.
Tonight will be leftover Sichuan food, possibly augmented with a few har gow & other delectable dumplings from the deep freeze. Speaking of deep-freeze, next week’s gonna be a nasty one in Happy Valley. A good time to stay home, continue to recover & keep warm 
Tomorrow, one of casa lingua’s favorite meals: TCC aka Trini-Chinese chicken with stir-fried baby bok choy.
Saturday friends are hosting our weekly poker game, dinner will be delivery/takeout as usual.
Sunday I’m thinking papppppardellllle with those weird-ass jarred Aldi truffles & a buncha mixed mushrooms, plus a salad on the side — likely arugula with parm & lemon dressing, i.e. simples.
Monday will have to make up for the non-sssspicy Sssssunday. Perhaps a warming, comforting curry.
Tuesday Tuscan soup? Mabez. Def some kinda soup with the ample amounts of frozen chicken stock at the ready.
Wednesday I’ve invited my girl posse over for drinks, snacks & an exchange of beauty products/clothes/whatever. Saves us all $$$ on multiple levels, and I don’t have to get dressed 
Thursday I’ll need a ride to the dentist in the morning to start the next bridge project 
. Don’t remember how sore my mouf/teef were last time, so maybe soft-ish food is in order… and something simple, since it’s my PIC’s long day again.
Btw, have those of you who aren’t active in the WFD thread considered sharing your actual meals with us? Some of your plans sound so tasty, and it would be swell to see them 
Cheers from two cold peeps in Central PA
