Haven't had much time to post lately but, I do read when I can!
Happy belated birthday, Chabba! Hope you had a great time!
Thanks for clarifying your recipe, Amidala! I wrote it down and took a guess that it was 1/4 cup but wanted to be sure! Can't wait to try it!!!!
Michelle,
Six down and two to go!! Good for you for pushing for that shot!! And good for your doctors for listening!
Love mashed potatoes and there is nothing like the 'real' deal! Love places like the one you discovered! Local and fresh!
Enjoy that muffin!! -
Michelle you are almost there.....yeah...eat all that good red meat to boost your blood! They always gave me the neulasta, no matter what the numbers said. good for you in being proactive. What a blessing to have that place so close toyou with all the goodies....ahhhh I would weigh 300 lbs! I just picked some apples off my tree but they are sooo small, it will take me all day to peel them to make anything. Maybe just some simple turnovers.
I am so jealous that your husband can cook. My ultimate dream would be to have a personal chef. My husband only passes through the kitchen to get from one room to another LOL
-
Carrie - my husband NEVER cooked for 30 years, I kid you not!!! He never made coffee until the last summer that I was working, 2 years ago, when I was traveling and he finally decided he might want to have a cup when I wasn't home! When we moved in June and I started chemo, we got a new grill. And that, as they say, was that! He's branched out to bacon and omelets, he can grill anything including veggies, he'll go to the store and get whatever he needs to make something he really wants to make. I almost don't recognize him...LOL! And I'm OK with this new man!!!
And it's probably a good thing this little apple place is open from now until Thanksgiving, because that apple pie was to die for! And I had one of the apples - huge, crispy and yummy! Can't wait to eat one with some nice sharp cheddar!
And oh, he has reneged on his promise of a blueberry muffin tomorrow morning...he's going to play golf! I may have to make my own muffin run
Seaside - thanks, yesssss!!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I wasn't going to let them get away with skipping the Neulasta shot. We tried that once and it was a big failure, so I was pretty insistent that we not skip it this time. They are very good at paying attention to my requests and understanding my reasoning.

Geez - multiple postings!

Michelle- congrats on getting through number 6- two more to go! Sounds like you had fun with it too. My Mom always said going to her chemo with my father was so boring so I went with her most of the time. We always managed to have fun together and get some good laughs in. We even did alot of wedding planning during her chemo.
We had lost power again yesterday if you can believe it but we got it back after about 5 hours. I was ready to cry when it went out. I need to put all these natural disasters behind me! My Dad dropped off more veggies from his garden today. After not being able to cook in the house for quite awhile I tried some new recipe's. I did a ranch chicken thing in the oven- nothing impressive and I won't do it again. So not worth passing on. I also took some eggplant, sliced it and browned it in a skillet, just slightly then put it an a pyrex dish, salt and peppered it a little evoo then put some bread crumbs, layers of fresh tomato, some more s &p another sprinkle of crumbs some fresh basil and topped it with mozzarella cheese. That was delish!
Michelle- I will have to search for my blueberry muffin recipe that I have. I am not a baker, but this recipe is fool proof, meaning I can make it. It has a cinnamon crumb topping and is wonderful. I'll see if I can find it and pass it on

Michelle,
I am with you a nice sharp cheddar with an apple pie.... One of my fondest memories of my Grandmother (and something I posted here eons ago) was her saying ' A piece of apple pie without some cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze'...... She's been gone for 20 years but, I don't believe anyone in my family would DARE serve apple pie without cheese....lol
Laurie,
Yes!!!! That is the same recipe that I use and OMG is it ever good!!! -
Thanks, Laurie! That recipe looks really yummy!
I used to make a recipe that I found in a Boston Globe Cookbook from 25 years ago. The recipe was from the Jordan Marsh store bakery but I found it here:
http://divaofdining.blogspot.com/2008/07/blast-from-past-jordan-marsh-blueberry.html
I had pretty much stopped baking because I am diabetic and DH doesn't need the calories. But these days I am thinking life is too short to not eat muffins and apple pie once in a while! I can use Splenda instead of sugar and they'll still be good.
Seaside - that's a great story about your Grandma! I'm definitely adding the cheddar to my next piece of pie. Gee, if I add cheese to the pie, I really could justify having it for breakfast, don't you think? Lots of food groups covered there!
Michelle
-
Oh, and if my daughter comes to my next chemo, we are watching a chick flick and eating popcorn!!!
-
ok- I have never had cheese with apple pie. But this Thanksgiving, or the next time I make pie, maybe this fall? I will eat cheese with it! I know I've mentioned on here before, when I have brown gravy I have sharp cheese with it. You dunk it n the gravy and oh- Yum! I am assuming it is a "french thing" since I grew up on it, and my family is very french Canadian. Michelle- I think you said you are french Canadian too- do you do it?
-
Laurie,
I remember you posting about the brown gravy and cheese! In fact, I think it was in response to your post that I posted about the cheese with pie!
I think we will both have something new to try at the next big holiday!! I will give cheese along side gravy a try and you can see how you like cheese with apple pie!
Michelle,
I'm thinking you are definitely onto something with the pie and cheese for breakfast!! lol
By the way.... Sharp cheddar along-side some apple wedges or grapes, is equally delicious! -
Yeah, wow Laurie, I'm kind of blown away with that story of hosting your neighbors like that! I've rarely ever been more than "say hello when you pass each other in the courtyard or by the mailboxes" type acquaintances with any of my neighbors -- only twice actually. The first time was 20-something years ago; a coworker of mine at the time moved into the apartment building I lived in (same building, different apartment!). So we were neighbors for a year, and yeah we sometimes used to hang out in each others' apartments and yak/have coffee or a drink, until he was lucky enough to get out after a year. I just moved here last fall. I have two "sets" of next door neighbors (it's three townhouse apartments -- mine and two others -- bordering a parking lot-ish little area with shared garbage cans -- ). Immediately next door to me is a couple who are my age and we sorta like each other and never really got past the saying hello when we ran into each other if we were both outside (we have a common front deck). But, usually I'm not particularly social. I did invite the guy over once, on New Year's Eve to have dinner with us (me and my Pack Rat) since his wife was in Colombia (her home country) and he would have otherwise been by himself -- and we had a very nice evening, the three of us, then, a few weeks ago, since they knew I used Macintosh computers, and he had just bought his wife a brand new Mac and he said there was something she couldn't figure out, so I offered to try to help and they accepted my offer so I went over there and took a look. The fact that I don't use the current Mac OS (I'm willingly and stubbornly two OS's behind -- I need the older Macs and OS's because newer ones won't run MY applications, which I'm not willing to give up) was actually not much of a problem; I've been a Mac enthusiast since 1986 and never had serious issues when I did upgrade to the higher OS's every now and then); but naturally she had it set up in Spanish. I don't know a word of Spanish and turned out she didn't understand enough English to be able to actually translate for me (as in "can you please read that dialog box for me?") -- so alas I couldn't really help her. Her husband, a native New Englander originally from MA, doesn't read or speak Spanish either, so they're a mystery to me (I think of them as the Odd Couple LOL) -- but the point is I still think they're nice people even though it never got much more than a "hello how are you?" in passing kind of thing with us. Then again, I can really only chat with the husband because the of the language barrier with the wife; "hello how are you" is close to her maximum in English. But -- they're going to be moving out in a few months -- he told me while I was over there; he's going to be starting a new job about 2 hours north up here so he'd rather move than commute. They had already been living here at the time I moved in.
The other neighbors, who moved in in January, are immediately next door to the Odd Couple and to be honest, I'm not really sure who lives there and who's just hanging out -- I lost track. I did know originally -- two girls and a guy, roommates, in their 20s, but from what I can see the guy's friends all look so much like him I lost the ability to distinguish between them (!) and (so the landlady told me) one of the girls supposedly moved out in May but I see her (or someone who looks a lot like her) outside sometimes -- almost as often as during the time when she DEFINITELY lived there. That -- me and THEM, is DEFINITELY staying at a "hi how are you" level if we happen to run into each other outside kind of thing, and won't be going any further mostly because (a) I'm too embarrassed for having lost track of who actually lives there and not being able to tell which of the guys is my neighbor and which are his buddies, and, (b) I'm very self conscious about my being 50 to their 20-something. Needless to say, after the Odd Couple moves, I hope the next neighbors will be old fogies like me. LOL
Michelle....Chinese food....YUMMMMMM! :-)
Yeah, I'm ready to talk about real food now. I'm not ALL 'done' climbing out of the rads' side effects ditch -- still red, sore and peeling and lacking most of my energy/motivation and I do still eat a little bit weird, BUT, after the weekend at least I finally started eating actual dinner at dinner time again! Monday: steak with rice pilaf. Tuesday: chicken with mac and cheese (not frozen or box...I make my own cheese sauce for the macaroni with American cheese, a little margarine and a little milk). Last night I had planned to make chicken parmesan since my Pack Rat was coming over, so I took out he the chicken breasts to defrost early and discovered I didn't have a bag of the grated Italian cheese (mozzarella and parmesan). I was too tired to go to even the close supermarket, but since I had to pay the rent (landlady lives across the street and that's on the way to the close "little store," I dropped the rent envelope in her mailbox and continued on to the "little store," which didn't sell it. I wasn't entirely surprised though. So I ended up with this strange little idea kind of: spaghetti with "chicken balls" as compared to say spaghetti with meat sauce or meat balls. IOW I cut up the chicken into little pieces which I breaded and baked the same as when I make chicken parmesan, and tossed them in with spaghetti and tomato sauce. Tasted great, my Pack Rat loved it too, and yay, I have leftovers. I had chicken and mac and cheese leftovers too so I finished them tonight, and the spaghetti and "chicken balls" leftovers will be good on Saturday night. My Pack Rat and I are going out to dinner tomorrow -- a way belated birthday dinner but maybe the live bluegrass after dinner will make up for my lateness. His birthday was in July when I was in the hospital with kidney failure, and by the time they let me out of the hospital, the rads were starting to kick my butt. Well a friend sent me an notice that the Cold River Ranters are playing in Keene tomorrow night, and the Olive Garden, which was what I'd suggested for his birthday dinner before I got so sick, just so happens to be in Keene too. So we'll eat at the Olive Garden and then go listen to some live bluegrass. :-)
Followup with RO went well, she says my chest looks MUCH better than when she saw it last week and said we were stopping treatment. uh-huh looks great red and peeling and, sit down: covered with a monster crop of little skin mets! They're rampant (as in 20 or more of them so far, they just keep popping up like mushrooms after a rain) just below my radiated area, but two managed to show up IN the most heavily treated part of my chest! Since rads were supposed to discourage them, I was disappointed thinking I'd ruined my whole summer with rads and SEs yet STILL ended up with the skin mets anyway, so like WHY did I DO this? Well, the RO (and my Pack Rat) think if I hadn't had the rads, it most likely would have been MUCH worse -- as in way more of them and way bigger, too. Oh well......OK well then I want my energy back. I tried a walk today and it was too much even though it was a "little" walk.
-
Hmmm...never had brown gravy and cheese, that's a new one on me. I remember my grandmother ( a Quebecois) spreading the chilled pan drippings and grease from a roast pork on bread. That was a bit too much for me (I was a teeni-bopper back then). There was a name for it, something like gris-de-ros or something like that. My French Canadian slang is pretty lacking.
Apple slices with cheddar is one of my favorite breakfasts, been doing that one for years. And with fresh off the tree apples, yummy! I also use Black Diamond sharp cheddar spread - I find it at Sam's - and it's a good one to use on apples, too. I did eat the apple pie with cheddar for breakfast this morning. DH had promised last night to go to the apple farm and get me fresh blueberry muffins at 11 this morning. But then his golf brain took over and he was on the phone with Joycek's DH just as they had discussed that Rick wouldn't be playing golf today because he was getting my muffins. The words were no sooner out of their mouths when their phone rang. No muffins for me...golf for him...lol. So Joyce's DH has saved my DH's rear end - he made blueberry muffins, so both Joyce and I get muffins!!! Joyce's DH rocks and those two have a great sense of humor!!!
By the way, the coincidences in our relationship with them just gets better and better. It turns out that Joycek worked for a doctor who was my OB when my daughter was born in 1980. She was working in the office when I was going there for my pre-natal visits. And my dad eventually remarried the doctor's sister so he became my "step-uncle." Joyce knows the whole family and knows my dad (deceased) and step-mother. And even better, one of the other doctors in the OB practice was the father of my best friend in high school! Our home town is not that small so it's just incredible how our lives are so intermingled! Every conversation brings new discoveries of what we have in common, it's just amazing!
Lena - glad you are getting your appetite and some energy back. Sorry to hear that you still have skin mets, that has to be disappointing. Your chicken "balls" with spaghetti sounds yummy! Isn't it great how we can get creative with what we have on hand. This is why I love the show "Chopped" as they must work with what's in the basket. And the live Bluegrass should be fun! I hope you enjoy every minute with Pack Rat. Ok, you're going to have to tell us how Pack Rat got his name!!!
Michelle
-
Joyce - I'm going to stop in at Apple Acres and get my muffins, and then I'll have double muffins. Maybe triple because Rick MIGHT just remember to stop on his way home. LOL...I'll have muffins upon muffins!!! I'll have to freeze a couple, but that's OK!!! This just gets better and better!!! And because I am such a good wifey, I might buy him a banana muffin if they have any!
-
Lena, Really sorry to hear about the skin mets. I can imagine how disappointing that the rads didn't take care of that. I hope the next treatment will kick their a$$. Enjoy the music and the olive garden. That sounds like fun!
Joyce and Michelle, it is so much fun to hear of your connections and growing friendship. I hope you will continue to tell your stories.
I am down the shore at my big bro's house, having a great time. Weather is great! Only problem is I am just 2 weeks from surgery so can't lift anything or walk very far, but my 2 sisters and bro are here and really babying me. Had my Mack's Pizza last night. So good! Something about the water difference here makes the pizza dough and rolls much different than at home in Philly. Enjoy the holiday weekend dveryone! School starts for my DD (8th grade) on Tuesday. Yuck! And she just got home from camp and we discovered she has Lyme disease, at least she has that bullseye mark that is suvgestive of Lyme disease. She is on Antibiotics either way so she should recover fast. Have fun peeps! -
Joyce - the family joke is that Rick is a perpetual 8 year old! Old enough to know better but yet he does the annoying funny things anyways! He's just the same age now as the oldest grandkid and we're starting to see the interaction. This is going to be fun!
Kay - we promise to keep sharing until you guys cry "uncle!" It's great that you are enjoying the shore and being "babied" for a change. And funny about the "water" making the difference in the pizza dough. Isn't that what they say about NYC bagels??? And oh, no! Hope your DD is OK, Lyme Disease is nasty. Sending hugs your way!

My family hates cabbage, but when you steam the leaves, and use them in your favorite lasagna recipie in place of the noodles, it is delicious. My whole family eats it. You don't really taste the cabbage, just all the other wonderful flavors, and it doesn't bog you down like the noodles can
-
I am going to make several loaves of zuccinni ( chemo brain can't spell today) anyway. A customer at the bank I work at gave me one of those huge award winning giant ones, and I know this will make about 4 loaves. A friend brought us over dinner last night, smoked pork loin, homemade BBQ sauce , green beans, salad , red potatoes, rolls, and red velvet cake, ,,so guess what I had for breakfast,, the cake
-
Cabbage....my grandmother used to make this "stuffed cabbage" dish for dinner sometimes -- hell if I knew how she made it or what it was even stuffed WITH, but talk about DELICIOUS!! (but oh how gassy in the end!) I wouldn't be able to know where to even start on how to possibly reconstruct it (not too long ago, I did get my hands on her "moon cookies" recipe though, dunno if I'll actually try to make 'em but at least now it's an option once I get my energy back: if I do and they turn out right I'll absolutely post the recipe because as far as I'm concerned they're to die for: the only way to get me to stop eating them when I was a kid was to take the bag away from me). Maybe just as well I wouldn't know where to start to try to make the stuffed cabbage though -- my "Italian Rainbow" (red, yellow, orange and green bell peppers, potato, onion and sweet Italian sausage all sauteed in olive oil). which I make fairly often when I'm feeling well, is gaseous enough -- so possibly it's a good thing I don't know how to make any kind of cabbage!
Cheddar and apple -- I love that too...but a little differently, and as an afternoon snack not breakfast. I love to slice up an apple and some extra sharp cheddar cheese (solid straight out of the fridge, not melted) and eat 'em together. To me, the extra sharp cheddar goes just as good with pears as apples, and occasionally I like to eat some salami with it.
Hmmm, I see none of you here have to watch soap operas on TV when you live 'em in real life! LOL!
Thanks Michelle and Kay. Faslodex is next, and probably last -- at least it's the last one I have no reservations about trying, that is. Even though they worked (I had me regression and/or stability while I was on them), due to severe intolerable SEs I'm not willing to do ANY cytotoxic chemotherapy or AIs again, so the Faslodex better work I guess. There's a tyrosine kinase inhibitor clinical trial I'm remotely willing to at least think about going into (my onc and I talked about it a couple of visits ago before the Faslodex idea came up), but so far when I do think about it and re-read both the protocol she gave me and my research, the only way I think I'd actually agree to join in would be if the doctor said, "If you don't take it you'll definitely be dead next month," and my will wasn't finished yet (I have an advance directive/health power of attorney in effect but my will is still only "in progress" believe it or not). Unlike most of the other Stage IV sisters, most of the SEs I end up with -- from treatments that apparently most of them consider "doable" -- make MY life so NOT WORTH LIVING, and also unlike them, I don't want to live at ANY cost. Actually though, that's a subject for another post altogether, so sorry for the digression.
Back to food.....wish I could decide what I wanted to have for lunch! LOL
-
apple pie... with a sharp cheddar.. absolutely to die for. I was just hoping it would cool off so i could make some pies.. it is apple season around here and we actually have a tree.
(i love the seaside Grandma saying...
A piece of apple pie without some cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze'
-
Lena i just read the bottom of your post for the first time "the poo saying" crack me up! Too funny.
Well...got my college boy home for the holiday and his girlfriend, and they have certain menu request while home. today they are making some chicken wing dip for boating, then we are off to a marina party where I will bring a pasta salad, but the girfriend is requesting some salt potatos so will make those too. They are just "poor" college kids so i will try to feed them well while they are here. Oh and I picked up some sharp chedder cheese to go with some apple slices ..perfect finger food for the boat. Supposed to be extra hot here today with extra humidity! Hope the rain holds off.
Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!
-
Sounds good, Carrie. Ahhh, salt potatoes! Love those little gems, but you can't really get them anywhere except upstate NY, as far as I know. Perfect "fair food." Enjoy the lake today!
Lena - I agree with Carrie, your tagline is really funny!
Michelle
-
That giant squash did make 4 loaves, and we ate one up before the day was done. I gave one to my mom. I made grilled cheese with vine ripened tomatoes for dinner. Each bite we dipped in homeade ranch. In our house ranch makes everything taste better :O)
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm YUM Zuccini Bread, with cream cheese on it. I love it sliced and baked in the oven.
-
-
yum, I will try some with cream cheese on it :O)
-
Sounds good, I haven't made zucchini bread in years!
Deb - nice!!!!!
-
Michelle- gris do ros! My Memere did that too!!! Us french people can be nuts-thus the cheese and gravy ;P Do you make/eat gorton? Love the stories of you and Joyce, such a small world. It sounds like you are having a lot of fun, and so are your husbands, nice connection. Also as you describe your husband he reminds me of mine. A big kid. Before we ever had children he said imagine if we had two boys? You would be so screwed! Well, we did, and I know I am. ie. I don't allow them to play ball in the living room. When we had lost power who starts the game of ball? My husband. When I remind him he actually says-but it's a soft ball, thats ok right? Sigh....no it is not dear put the balls away or go in the kitchen, where there are no lamps.
Last night we had the burger and zucchini dish again. Tonight is steak tips, corn on the cob and some orzo pasta. We had a busy day at the fair and plan on putting the kids to bed early and having a fire in the back yard to relax after the day is done.
Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.
PS- Zucchini bread with cream cheese YUM!
