It's freezing outside today. With that cold wind, you don't feel like going for a walk. Ottawa, about 4 hours east has a snow watch.
K is about to have his laser eye surgery, he just got some eye drops. They gave M a booklet to read prior. The doctor says K's condition is not lattice degeneration as we thought. He was likely just born with that retinal tear. Maybe that's better, providing it gets fixed ok.
They're hoping to start washing the basement floors this afternoon and they're still painting.
I'm about to try that spicy coconut chicken recipe I found yesterday, except they were out of cilantro of all things in the grocery store today. I even got a jalapeno, which I've never used before and had trouble recognizing. Last week I was buying cream, this week they had micro-filtered milk on sale, so I got some skim milk. Micro-filtered means more bacteria has been filtered out than in regular pasteurization so it stays fresh longer and has a creamier taste. It's true.
I just found this neat video on how to cut a jalapeno.

Good luck with the surgery!! Is there a long recovery period?
And be careful with those jalepenos. I once touched my eye after chopping some (without gloves). Ouch!
Hope the laser treatment goes well.
My boy wore specs from age 7.As a teenager he tried all the different contact lenses but couldn't get on with any. He's recently had laser surgery and is thrilled with the result.
We had a snow flurry here today ! Most unusual for October
Are you going to have an official opening for the improvements ?
Yes good luck. I had laser surgery on my eyes just to fix my vision and that was nearly 10 years agao and still I have 20/20 vision. Its a miracle I think.
Yes are you going to have an opening party because Barbara and I are looking for an invitation, lol.
Good luck with the chicken recipe. Oh I love the news links today - have to check them out - they look interesting!
Hi Everyone
The surgery went well, he'll be back at school tomorrow. No gym for a week though, but he keeps forgetting not to run around the house too much. I'll put details in the next post.
Just a plane ride away, I can't believe you touched your eye like that, bad luck. Lily, the chicken recipe is quite nice, especially if you love stews like me. The coconut makes a nice sauce. Barbara, that's a thought about an opening party. I was thinking of all our friends a few at a time. L already wants to have some friends over on Halloween. Of course, you're all on the virtual list!
