    I may be in the minority but, I do like liver with onions.... We have a local diner that makes it soooooo good! I haven't mastered cooking it myself but, they do such a great job that I don't have to...lol!

    A huge congrats Michelle!  It must feel so good.

    Deborye, that is a great happy dance!  You get the best pictures.

    Welcome Anita!

    Had take out pizza tonight because I had to go get herceptin, then PT, then went to a tryout for some changes to our favorite, local website, then home to get my daughter and her friend from dance class, then pick up pizza, then finally home to eat it.

    Can't wait to hear the story Michelle.

    Deborye  Are you crazy?! Have you checked lately?!!? That is the funniest thing I have ever seen  on this site!  Ok now I'm going to check your video, but will probably not post. Cats say "time for bed" :)  Ok I looked.  That is hysterical!! I'm still laughing!  But really, have you had someone check you out lately?? lol or are you always like this?  :)

    LuvRVing  Congratulations!  You will begin to see a major improvement soon. ( I see it in the crazy 8 ball).  Whooohooooo!  Yay for you!!!

    Deb - you are just too funny!  That is definitely one "happy dance!"

    Thanks everyone!  I couldn't have done this without all of your love and support!  And I don't ever want to do it again...LOL!  We went to dinner with our friends from Milton, MA and i drank Prosecco...love that stuff!  The swordfish was not the best I've ever had, but the company and the wine was good.  And I don't have to go back to Dana Farber until June...woohoo!!!

    Welcome Anita!  My iron level were low..I opted for a pill...LOL! 

    I was trying to change my avatar and for some reason BCO doesn't like the picture I took today.  I guess I'll take another one tomorrow and see if that one works better.  I guess I'm going to have to get a little hair trim - my back is beginning to look scruffy and I don't want to start growing a mullet!

    Received a call from BCBS and they told me to disregard the bill, my provider is looking for a different code. Pays to complain.

    Michelle- I had a girlfriend who experienced hair loss due to pregnancy and kind of developed a mullet before she trimmed things up.  She says- I guess it's time for me to deal with this hair of mine, this Mama is all business in the front and a party in the back"  I almost peed my pants.  I thought the pic of your hair today was wonderful, love the fringe in the front.

    Laurie - that comment about your friend's hair is so funny!  And that pretty much says it all!!!  That little fringe is pretty funny, my "almost" bangs.  I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't had bangs, even when my hair was longer.  I may try to grow them out.  I'll probably make it until they start hitting my nose, then I'll cave...LOL!

    Michelle  YAY for being done!!  LOve, love, love Deb's happy dance.

    Had my last echo yesterday post herceptin and everything looked good. No changes. One more doctor I wont have to see for a long time.

    Today we are getting a nasty winter storm.  Cant see out the window with all the snow blowing...they say 2-4 inches.  the problem is it rained all night first, so ice forming under the snow. Weird, crazy weather.

    Dinner last night was a salad...really really trying to eat more sensible.  DH didint get home from work till 9 and had leftovers. Because I am now home every day I really feel obligated to cook a nice meal for him but it is only adding to my grocery bill and my waistline!  Poor hubby he works very hard long hours.

    I have the same exact problem Carrie!  My DH works long, hard hours and I am still home right now and it makes me feel obligated to cook big dinners.  And my two kids living at home contributes to the feeling.  I am trying to make baked potatoes or mashed potatoes or some kind of side that will fill them up and make them feel they have had a big home cooked meal, and for the main course have something light and lean.  And then I just stay away from the potatoes.  It's hard when you're trying to eat lean, but you have others to feed who are not!

    i like liver and onions.. with a ton of bacon. (and if in the mood to eat a gazillion calories which i never am anymore).


    Nice dance Deborye.. I get to go out to a rehearsal dinner at a wonderful Italian place to night.  Being an organist has its benefits sometimes.

    Split pea soup in the works - perfect for this gloomy, cold morning.  Did you ever read the ingredients on that "ham flavor packet" in the bag of peas?  Soy protein and artificial flavor.  Ick.  A bit of real ham sounds so much better. 

    And I'm heading to the hair stylist (no pun intended) for a 1 p.m. appt to try and make something of my neckline and sideburns.  It should take her all of five minutes...LOL!

     Now that I am officially out of treatment and on the mend, my DH is in for a big surprise.  Lunches and dinners are going to involve a lot more fresh veggies and a lot less bread and potatoes.  The man promised me he'd take care of himself when I started treatment.  So far, there's not much sign of a change in eating habits and he needs to lose at least 40 lbs.

     Liver, bacon and onions, yummy!

    Today's dinner: chorizo casserole with aubergines, fennel, onion, mushrooms, tomato.

    And Sunday, I'll be cooking Monday's common lunch for the crew at my job – we eat together every Monday and take turns cooking. I usually do my cooking Sunday, and I always do something with coconut milk, pumpkin or sweet potatoes, greens, tomatoes, ginger and coriander. It has to be vegan, since we have a lot of vegans, and we are about 25 people, so I prefer doing something I know how to do ... They like it and it's fun!

    Yay on your echo Carberry!

    Congratulations on the haircut LuvRVing I bet you'll look cute!

    Deborye, I think I saw your mind down here in RI running across the street, on the way home from work today!  If I see it again I'll catch it and send it home. 

    Tonight, Indian with the "ladies".

    Have a good weekend everyone.

    Chabba - I think I'm going to learn to use enough "product" to glue them in place somewhere.  My bangs were always curly, so I'm expecting ringlets in a couple of months.  

    Yay Carrie!  Glad to hear the echo was fine!

    So glad you got good results Carrie! 

    Michelle- glad you enjoyed your salon time.  If you need any advice on product let me know- I am naturally curly and just started straightening my hair a year ago or so.  I used to use 4 products in my hair every morning to tame the frizz.

    Leftover are for dinner tonight.  I don't feel like cooking.  So everyone can just eat out of the fridge and be happy with what they pick.  We have left over lasagna from last night, some roast, a little beef stew and pulled chicken.  I need to make my family eat left overs more often.

    Also- I couldn't agree more with wanting to eat healthy but needing to feed everyone.  I love salads but if I fed everyone salad for dinner I think they might lose it.  DH is ok with it in the summer months, but he also works long hours and comes home looking for some comfort food.  Where I am home, I do feel like it is my job to make him a nice dinner every night that he will like.  Apparently, I left work early today with the left overs!

    LOL Laurie!  I am sure you will find a way to make it up to him ;)

    DH is actually trying to lose some weight and good with trying to be more healthy, but he is hungry and needs food that will fill him up.  Tonight I made portobello mushroom burgers with provolone cheese, broccoli and some leftover rice.  It was the first time I ever made it.  It came out pretty well.  i made a regular cheese burger for DD.

    Oh, Kay that sounds like a good start.  That sounds yummie. My sis who is 'naturally' thin only follows a few rules

    If carbs, make them whole wheat not white

    all the veggies and fruit you want

    no sugary drinks and that includes juice except for tomatoe juice

    lean protein. yes she eats meat. low fat dairy.

    Ha Ha I think thats funny. but I try to follow the first two, unfortunately addicted to ginger ale.
