I finally had a winner dinner. I had two recipes for maple pork loin, one baked and one in the crock pot. I chose to use the one in the crock pot. It called for maple syrup and bacon wrapped around the loin. I read the reviews this time and took a reviewer's advice to take the pork out after 9 hours and put it in the oven under the broiler for the bacon to crisp. Good call. Then I put some of the sauce in a pan, added some cornstarch, and cooked it until it thickened and spooned it over the roast.

Served it (to myself) with mashed potatoes flavored with bacon bits and Boursin herb and garlic cheese. I was going to add a biscuit but this was all I could eat tonight.

I was so excited about having an edible dinner I could hardly take a decent picture. LOL

I made fridge soup and poached a duck egg in the soup. I used the veggie stock I made last night and added some BTB (Better Than Bouillon) chicken base. I put in the last of the pre-cooked basmati rice, some of the rice pilaf and roast potato left from the Greek resto order.

I am getting my flu and C19 shots tomorrow and with two vax on the same day, I'm not sure how I will feel for the next few days. There is enough soup left to be very easy supper for two or three days. I had piece of rugbrød (Danish style, heavy, rye bread) with butter on the side. The soup was good enough that I'm stuffed.

Good looking soup.

I had the flu and Covid booster last week. One in each arm. No side effects at all, except for mildly sore arms for about one day. Actually, just one night, since I am a side sleeper.

I haven't had other symptoms than the sore arm with other shots. I just haven't tried two shots at the same time before. I have been wondering if I should ask for both shots in one arm, since I am a side sleeper too and then I would have one side that was comfy. I guess I'll talk to the nurse about that before I get the shots.

The Spikevax Moderna covid shot made us both a bit sick feeling the next day, headachy, feeling a little feverish, clammy, blah. Pharmacist said it does that to a lot of people when we went back a week or so for flu.

I only get the shots one at a time. A friend of ours gets his all at once, sometimes 3 when he gets pneumonia, and it really knocks him out for several days.

I had a Fresh Direct order coming so I got myself a butterflied Royal Dorade fish and delicata squash which I baked both. I ate the whole squash myself! With leftover salad.

I got three shots last year, all in the same arm, and had no problem. This year I got two, covid and flu in the same arm, and while I didn't notice feeling bad pr anything, that was the night I slept 14 hours, getting up several times in the middle of the night. I do that. Sometimes I wake up, grab a Sudoku, and work a puzzle till I either finish it or find myself falling asleep over the book. Woke up feeling really good the next morning, though.

Well, I got the two shots in one arm, because I'm a side sleeper and one on either side would have guaranteed a miserable night of trying to get comfy. The nurse said it was no problem to get them in one arm. Of the people before me today who were getting two shots, one had one in each arm and all the others opted for their non-dominant arm. I opted for my dominant arm, the right one, because I mostly sleep on my left side.

Edited to add that the arm is a little sore. I think that's all for now. It's hard to tell. I woke up with a fairly sore back, so that's an extra thing to deal with.
