    I've been planning a selection of quiche for the Center lunch in a week or two, that tomato pie looks so good I think I'll add it to the mix this time.

    Tazzy- Hope things go well for you during surgery! Let us know how you are doing when you can. ((((hugs)))

    The tomatoe pie is also good as appetizers CARRIE! I have put them in the little mini fillo  pie shells. So good!

    I got some very sad news today- My dad had been having trouble eating and drinking any fluids, kept throwing them up and started losing weight didn't know until a couple of days ago how bad he was, today they put a camera down his throat and stomach and was planning on stretching his throat so he could eat. orignianlly they thought because of his age (77) it was the muscles in his throat that was not working right. He has a very large tumor on his espagus and stomach they are 100% sure it is cancer even though the biopsy won't come back for another week. He will start on radiation to shrink the tumor then chemo. I am so scared and worried about him right now. Been crying all day. I talked to my brother but my sister is busy moving my niece who just moved to Hawaii- We decided to wait until tomorrow to tell my sis. They say a large tumor has poor prognisis. Could everyone please say a prayer or positive thoughts for my dad please!

    Oh debbie, I'm so sorry, My prayers are with you, your family and especially your dad.  I wish we were together to cry on each other's shoulders.  My 66 year old brother has a large, aggressive maglignancy that has almost shut his esophogus, trachea and larynx and has partially colapsed his left lung.  He completed a round of radiation which decreased the size some and has had two rounds of chemo but as of this morning can't tolerate liquids and is having trouble with dehydration. 

    Got a text from DB as I was typing this, he been admitted back in the hospital.  I will pray for your Dad as I pray for DB.

    Tazzy, I will be thinking of you.  I hope everything goes really smoothly

    I will make that tomato pie

    Debbie, so sorry to learn about that troubling news re: your dad. Sending

    positive thoughts his and your way. ((((HUGS)))).



    Meanwhile, I was sitting in my kitchen late this afternoon, and spontaneously broke out in a hive reaction....to what I do not know.....maybe the beet greens that I added to my noontime smoothie? Hope not!

    I immediately took two benedryl and it has staved off the acceleration of the allergic reaction (which was throughout my body...head to toe)....but since it was closing time, the nurse at my doc's office told me to come to the ER....especially since I shouldn't be taking benedryl. So what is the problem with benedryl for me on Tamoxifen?



    So as I wait in the ER room my skin is returning to normal....and I look like one of those people who misuse the service.....and will be out $75 by the time I leave. Annoying!!



    Am I destined to stop eating beets?

    Thank-you all so much!

    Chabba- I am so sorry to hear about your brother.(((hugs))) My dads 2 brothers have already passed from stomach and esp. cancer and I know what they went through. But that was years ago so hopefully they have new meds out now that will help. Please keep us posted on your DB. He also will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Awww crap, Debbie! Nobody wants to get that news and you are most likely feeling a similar sense of fear to what your Dad felt when his 'baby' went through it.... Yet, you are here and doing well! No reason to think he won't do the same!



    A neighbor of mine had esophageal cancer in his late 30's... Went though treatment 10 years ago and, while not easy, he is alive and well today!



    The stats are just a best guess.... We are stronger than we know and definitely, those around us are stronger than we give them credit for sometimes! I know that I find it to be less unsettling to be the patient rather than the care taker and that probably boils down to a sense of feeling in control.... i'm working on that!



    Keeping both you and your Dad in my thoughts and prayers!

    Went to Applebees with a friend. I had their garlic steak, with a spinach stuffed portabella, and a couple potato pieces. Steak was a bit salty for my taste, but otherwise good. It was a weight watchers dinner so I was good. But do I have to admit to the Brownie Bite? It was a buck, and real little..... LOL

    Debbie- I am so sorry about your Dad.  I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now.  I will send you tons of prayers, love and strength your way. 

    Chabba- Same goes for you as Debbie.  I hope your brother finds some answers or relief at the hospital.  I am so sorry that he is going through this.  Love, strength and prayers coming for you and your family as well.

    Carrie- So jealous of your boating adventures!  Have a blast on your trek to the Italian festival!

    Carol- Same goes for you!  Your camping adventure sounds wonderful, I hope one day to do something similar with my DH.  Your energy is astounding with the miles you log on your bikes, never ride too much to be too tired to raise a glass ;)

    Michelle- So glad your DH is getting psyched to get in better shape, I know you have been wanting him too.  I hope your new bike seat came in so your bum is comfy:)  Don't over so yourself!  It sounds like you are having a great time though which is wonderful.

    Bedo- Arrr me hearty!  I hope you had a great day filled with grog drinking and you weren't bothered by any scally wags!!

    I know I am missing a lot of you- sorry!!  But hugs to everyone!

    Spent the day getting ready to head camping.  I have most everything done and we leave tomorrow at lunch time and come back Sunday.  Dh is on vacation this week so we can get an extra day in.  Tonight he went to the Red Sox game with friends, left at 3 and won't be home until very late.  I told him in exchange he owes me 2 hours of quiet reading time in the afternoon while we are camping :)  I swear I entered some sort of marathon?  But I will rest when it snows:)

    Dinner tonight was whatever anyone wanted.  I made cheeseburgers for one son and I- the other wanted a breakfast sandwich.  Ok, whatever.  Dad's not home so it was a free for all.  Menu for the three nights is laid out, seafood one night, then chicken and then steak.  We are sticking close to home so only driving about 40 minutes which will make Sunday easy and relaxing to get ready for work Monday.

    Much love to all of you and I hope everyone is well.

    Oh dear, my heart goes out to both of you, Debbie and Chabba.  I worked with a lady who had esophageal cancer back in the days when only about 20% survived and she was one of them.  I'm sending positive thoughts for good outcomes. 

    Busy day here - grandkids were here all afternoon then they all stayed for dinner.  DD had promised them tacos so she ran to the store and got the fixings.  I went on a 5 mile bike ride this morning, then had the kids by myself for most of the afternoon.  I'm a bit pooped!

    Lacey - that reaction sounds scarey.  And I'm betting the ER will not be able to find a likely cause.  I hope everything turns out OK!

    Chabba,



    Sending up prayers tonight for your brother AND for you.... Seems like the rads may have had helped (which is good).... Hoping that that chemo totally knocks it back and that his side effects lessen!! Sometimes being in the hospital can help in that they can get the nutrients in him that he made need without his body having to do the work...



    Prayers and hugs coming your way.....

    Debbie and Chabba, adding my prayers to the chain.



    Pirate talk, good memories of our Disney cruises. It's been a while.



    I had a toxic reaction last night. Very familiar to me since I have chemical sensitivities. Now I have to figure out the cause, I recently increased my Metformin dose but also added an herb based liver supplement. Took nothing today.



    Dinner was pork chops from our grass fed beef source, cooked with mango and peach sauce, artichokes on the side. Was good but not as amazing as it sounds. The best thing was the Napa Savignon Blanc!



    Someone asked about the crispy salmon. Go to You Tube and search for "Gordon Ramsey crispy salmon". Easy and so good!

    Debbie and Chabba  {{{{HUGS and Prayers}}}}  Oh how this disease sucks.  Just saw on news that the Golisano childrens Hospital in the city close to us (they mostly treat children with cancer) is opeining an independent cancer building to just focus on cancer patients.  So sad that cancer has become such big business.

    Lacey  Not sure of the connection with benadryl and tamox.  I take benadryl for sleep, and my onc could not come up with a reason not to.  i also checked with the pharmacist and he couldnt give me a reason either.  If you google it, it just says they are contraindicated, but no explanation as to why.  I still take it. Wonder if you reacted to something they sprayed on the beets.  I once reacted like that to strawberries, and I am not allergic to them, figured it was a pesticide of some sort.

    Rick Springfield concert was surprisingly good last night.  He still looks awesome at 62...great muscles!!

    Laurie  My DH always says "we will sleep when were dead"  LOL

    Sleeping when we're dead is a given I think;)  We're headed to a play tonight "Guys and Dolls" so I am going to take a short catnap so that I don't fall asleep later.  

    I fixed a nice lunch for us today...butternut squash soup made with carrots, squash, onions, celery, 1 apple, chicken broth, a little seasoning, nutmeg, and when tender, blend in the vita mix.  I served it with spring greens with walnuts and grapes, goat cheese and a sweet dressing.  Light and filling.

    Debbie & Chabba:  Adding my prayers for your Dad & brother.  Tazzy:  Hope your surgery went well.  Hi to everyone else.  Sending a group hug since working every day has really curtailed my on line activities.

    I took off today to take a neighbor lady to lunch for her B-Day.  She was born in 1928.  There were 10 of us and we'd agreed in advance to go "dutch treat".  Prime rib, fried shrimp, chicken fried steak, grilled salmon, baby back ribs - everyone had a great meal & a good time.  I won't need any dinner tonight. Going to play Chickenfoot later this afternoon.  The hostess has made a Hummingbird Cake.  I seem to be the only one who hasn't tried it, but everyone is raving.

    A hummingbird cake?? Please share more.....



    Tho I won't be trying many " new" foods until I find out what got that terrible systemic reaction going yesterday. Today my throat still feels a bit odd, and I am nervous that I could break out at anytime...so staying with safe foods...tho I'm strongly suspecting now that the trigger was the beeswax lip gloss that someone made for me....just can't tolerate thinking that it is one of my newer healthy foods. Took two benedryl last night before bed, but am trying not to take any more today. The ER doc looked up the benedryl/Tamox issue and said the benedryl renders the tamox ineffective (not sure to what degre and didn't really understand the scientific explanation), so my primary wants me to see an allergist nowto deal with this latest issue....just what I want ....yet another doc on my dance card!! I had allergy shots forever as a child and I do believe they really nelped me live a pretty symptom- free adult life.

    I bet it is possible that a small amount of benedryl to help sleep might be fine, but I would have my doc google it (after you do, Carrie).

    Off to Home Depot since it seems to have the best selection of late season plants so I can drag them to NH and finish my planting this weekend before the frost comes!! :)
