deborye

BW stable see you in a year is what she said.  By then I will have new doctors closer to home.  She did mention that the MRI showed the breast tissue is thickened do the the cellulitis but that will probably always be that way.

Congrats Deb on stable. Good news!

*susan*

bedo

Errrr..... the kind you buy at the store?

As I've said, you ALL know much more than I. lol

Tomorrow I think I will feel up to cooking the turkey I bought for Christmas.

LuvRVing

Yay, Deb!  Stable is very good!

Susan - so glad you are on the mend!  That had to be scary!

Bedo - hmmm...you need a buffet brunch, methinks!  In any case, I hope you have a lovely birthday!!!

We had a late lunch, so DH is about to head out for Chinese food.  He's bringing me back a couple of crab rangoons and a bowl of Chinese vegetable soup.  I'm not very hungry.  I am feeling OK, though.  No SEs from Wednesday's chemo, that I can tell. 

Laurie08

Michelle- Yay for no side effects!  Enjoy the Chinese fair. 

Bedo- Happy birthday!  I hope you get a wonderful breakfast even though we all can't be there to make it for you.  Thanks for the smiles when ever you post

Apple- Hope you are doing ok- miss your posts and thinking of you.

Dh just left to pick up a small pizza and a sub for our dinner.  Boring, but I amstarving and sick of eating the same old thing.

Happy Birthday, Bedo! Hopefully you can have a fabulous faux breakfast before enjoying the rest of your day. Love duckpin bowling since I grew up on it. Get some strikes!!



Glad you are on the mend, Susan.

Glad your tests went well, Deb....and enjoy cooking that turkey!



I spent a large part of the day organizing around this house...the first I have done since Xmas Day, since we have been all about DH's eyes of late. He is doing great, vision so improved.....and that makes me really happy since he will need to snow blow tomorrow, given the forecast.



Kaara, glad you didn't have to give up that Vita Mix! Best of luck in your new relationship!



We had a basic real meal tonight....seems like we never did throughout the holidays except when at our friends' house for Xmas. So.....we had grilled teriyaki marinated steak tips, w garden salad, butternut squash with a bit of maple syrup, and garlic bread.

I was happy to ignore the leftovers for this.

debbie6122

Bedo- Happy Birthday! Thats a tall order but think between all of us we can fill it. haha! Oh and don't worry Im not a morning person either,, Dh asks how long I have been awake when he walks in and I say 5 minutes he turns around and walks out he knows not to talk to me until Im wide awake. haha have fun duck pin bowling what ever that is!!

Happy Birthday Bedo!!!!

Happy Birthday Bedo! I also got a cappuccino maker for Christmas, so I will supply the coffee! And help you eat all the rest of the goodies. I'll bring some Phila. scrapple too if anyone is game to try it.



Kaara, it sounds like you are happy, and I am happy for you. Sorry about losing some friends, I guess some people have to pick sides. My brother had the same issue after his divorce.



Thanks for the advice on the paninis and mushrooms, I will definitely do those. Any good, simple panini recipes?



Laurie, we had pizza last night too. Gosh, I miss the summer when I had more time to cook. We are getting 1/4 of a cow his weekend from my boss's neighbor. He raises a few cows right on his property. The meat is amazing, so much better than what you buy in the store. I am looking forward to some good meals with it.

Bedo, on my way with nova lox and no gooseberries.

auntienance

Oh, and a happy birthday!

auntienance

Kay, I loved having my own beef and most of all, having it cut to my specifications. I sure miss those 7 blade chuck roasts, sigh . . .

carberry

9am and its snowing so hard I cant see out the window!  YIKES gonna get 4 more inches on top of the 8 we already had.  Just hope the kids can get back home on Sunday.  Did I mention I hate snow?

Happy Birthday Bedo!!  I think I could handle the toast.My daughter brought NYC bagels home with her with mediterranean cream cheese for us and jalapeno for my son, but the best part is she cooks them for me every morning...we share one because they are so big.

Kaara  Love a good love story...good for you!

I feel a movie and popcorn day is about to happen...not gonna challenge this weather.

We also have leftover beef minestrone stew made in the crookpot with the leftover prime rib.  This is so good and feeds a lot.  Found in the wegmans magazine or Wegman.com or I can write out the recipe if anyone wants it.

LuvRVing

Just made a baked apple pancake - haven't done that in a long time.  Very yummy!  And I need to hit the store before the snow hits us.  No eggs, no milk (just used the last of both) and something easy for dinner.  Oh wait, we have leftover eye of the round roast and meatloaf...need a couple of sides. 

Bedo - I hope you're having a fabulous birthday morning!

No room in my little freezer for custom beef, except by the meal.  DH prefers his beef to have never been frozen - at least that's what he thinks.  Says a steak is more tender if it hasn't been frozen.  It could be true for grocery store beef.

Kay - my DH makes paninis all the time - he just uses his favorite meats, cheeses and condiments.  Ruebens are really good.  Fancy grilled cheese sandwiches are also delicious.

Happy Birthday, Bedo!

 

deborye

You have the same birthday date as my DD.

SpecialK

bedo - happy birthday!!!  The breakfast sounds delish - hope you get some, or all, of it one way or another.  I too am not a morning person - DH is - this presents problems, lol!  Somehow we have made it work for 29 years though!

Went to a funeral yesterday - a leukemia survivor who had a recurrence 12 years later.  It was a lovely memorial service, all of her children spoke, there was beautiful music from her DIL.  It was sad because she was so well loved, but she made it to 79, and lived all 79 years well!  I met her through the American Cancer Society - she helped me pick out a prosthetic from the gift closet and we laughed the whole time.  She invited me to participate in a program that she ran called "Seek and Speak your Story" which encourages cancer survivors to develop a personal and inspiring story that is presented to those who are undergoing treatment currently.  I was in a group with 3 others who had at least 10 years remission, and I was bald and in the midddle of treatment myself.  It was a great experience for me because it gave me a chance to see how my friends were living with some distance from their diagnosis and give some support to others who were in the trenches - kind of like what we do here on this website!  My friend was also very active in Toastmasters and during one of our meetings preparing for our presentation, knowing that I was an Air Force wife for 28 years, asked me if I knew a specific individual who had also been in the Air Force for a long period.  It turned out that I did know this person, that they lived close by, and she told me his wife had just been dx'ed with BC.  I gave her my phone number, she passed it on to them, and I rekindled a friendship from 25 years ago, and we have supported each other through our BC treatment.  I will always believe she came into my life at that particular time to give me those gifts - I only hope I returned the favor in some way.

Holy Cow, Kay! That must be so delicious. I have never had the privilege of eating really quality meat like a thoughtfully raised cow....Enjoy!



Hope your birthday is fun, Bedo, tho I think your area is supposed to get the lion's share of the snow today/tonight. Stay safe and warm!



I got up really early today since I promised my neighbor I would let her house cleaner in while they are away and I was afraid I might oversleep. So since I was up, I started my own little cook fest. Made some pesto to freeze and have on hand, then cooked up some chicken, and now making two different kinds of chicken soup...my regular recipe from my mother with pastina, and an egg lemon soup for us tonight. Since this has been going on since 7AM, I'm about ready for a nap....and I don't nap!



Michelle, I think I remember when you made that special breakfast last year around this time...sounds so good! And more importantly it must mean that you are feeling well and having no SE's. Yay!!

SpecialK, what a lovely story.....



Just waiting around for the snow to begin.....I do hope all the travelers can get to their destinations with no problems.

OK - I just seriously had the best bowl of lima beans from the grocery deli. Anyone with a great recipe? DH loves them. These were mostly the tiny to mid sizes ones not the really big kind I find overly dry.  I have (Now no faces, please) salted pork jowl for black eyes on Tuesday.  Anything else? I could have eaten my weight in them but at $1.99 for a bitty, bitty container I won't. They have the Fordhook frozen I think at my grocery which is OK size for a small town.

Deal on dying eggplants. I have 2 to use with some kind of Italian sauce, macaroni, cheese combo tonight.  Also packaged with it was 2 bunches of slender asparagus. This was all $2.00. Even if some is not so hot I feel I got a bargain. Course DH will not touch asparagus, eggplant, yes but not his favorite.

Kid carrying out my groceries gave me updated weather (???). Snow maybe again for Monday/Tuesday. Haven't heard this and hoping not. DD did not come Christmas because of the snow and is planning for New Years.

Bedo - Happy Birthday!!!

Michelle - Love bunny suit avatar. Apple oven pancake sounds yummy, warm. Glad you're feeling good from last chemo.

Nancy - I have all the stuff (went with the crescent rolls) for your breakfast.

LuvRVing

I got a request for the baked apple pancake recipe, so I'll post it here.

2 granny smiths or other tart baking apple, peeled, cored and sliced

2 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons sugar (or splenda or a mix with brown sugar)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup flour

4 eggs

2/3 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

In a large oven-proof skillet (cast iron works great) melt the butter, add 3 tablespoons of the sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the butter.  Add the apple slices and saute over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.  Remove from heat.

Beat together the eggs, milk, flour and remaining tablespoon of sugar and salt until smooth (perfect job for an immersion blender).  Pour evenly over the apples.  Bake until brown and puffy, about 15 minutes.   Serve at once, it will deflate as soon as you cut into it.

Happy birthday Bedo:

SpecialK: thanks for sharing your story.

Michelle:  thanks for the recipe - will try that in the morning.

Been snowing here pretty much all night - DH just finished shovelling and we are off out to the shops.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

eric95us

It was so cold that after 15 minutes outside...I had to come in and put on my shoes.

Don't worry, you'll be able to laugh this summer when, in the shade, its nearing 120F (50C) outside.

Thanks for the pancake recipe Michelle.  Suggesting that genitics may play a role in food preferences, DD also loves apples  :-).  The only problem with that right now is that they are a bit much for her braces.  So, I look for braces friendly ways of preparing apples.

Mmmmmm, apple pancake. I'm thinking breakfast for dinner!

A little note from our birthday gal Bedo (Sally):  It's my birthday today and I had the best day due to my friends and wishes from BCO.  As they say, "ride a horse, don't save your pride on your birthday" or something like that   Thanks!

Are you at Texas Roadhouse?  Looks like you're having a grand time!

deborye

What happened to your pic Michelle?

Too funny Eric, it's snowing in Massachusetts, would not want to go out barefoot. Right now it is 30 degrees. BRRRRRRRR

DD & SIL are traveling, saw the Grand Canyon and probably in Vegas for her birthday.  2:15 AM 37 seven years ago I spent New Year's Eve in the hospital. 6lbs 13oz, 19 1/2 inches.

Turkey with trimmings is almost done.
