So...whats for dinner?

Such horrible news.  I feel so sad and hope with all my being that the treatment works.  Michelle, you will be in my thoughts.  Hugs to you and your family.

Oh such sad news...was thinking of you, Michelle while in the MRI machine this afternoon, knowing that that experience was nothing like what you were going through today. This so sucks!! The only positive thing is that you are perhaps the strongest fighter around with the most supportive family. ((((Hugs)))) to all of you.....

If there is anything I can do to make your treatment schedule easier, I want to help...and have time to do it! So please, let your close by cyber friends help out.....meals, rides, babysitting for your DD.....whatever.

Beyond that sincere offer, I'm speechless.....

(((Debbie)))  Hugs for you, too

I couldn't agree more. Great to hear from you. Deborey, what a perfect post!

Michelle- I am so upset beyond words right now! You are our family here and we all love you!! My heart is breaking that you have to deal with yet another blow. I cried when I read about your brain mets and cried even harder when you sent ME a hug after all your going through!  We  are all praying for you.

Thank-you Christine for letting us all know. ((((hugs))) to you as well.

Man, cancer just sucks! Michelle, praying for you, stay strong. Since I first met you when you answered me when I asked about diabetics and chemo, you are such an inspiration. and, now I know just why you are so proud of your children, lovinmymom kind of proved that you should be! Much love.

Hey Michelle, so good to hear your "voice"!

Michelle, as you begin treatment, everyone on this thread will be pulling for you.  That's a lot of positive energy.

My white chili was really tasty.  And WILL be tasty, since there's lots of it.  Tonight I'm planning to cook pork medallions (slices of pork loin).  I'll use a WW recipe that looks good.  Kind of a picata with lemon and capers.  For a side I may try quinoa again.  And a chopped salad with raw broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, and avocado.  Or I may blanch the veggies.  The dressing will be EVOO.  It's really a delicious salad.  I first ate it when a friend delivered dinner after my BMX surgery.  This friend used cajun seasoning, too.  I will use the Salt-Free Prudhomme's Magic and add a little salt.   The veggies are chopped into very small pieces.

Good!  The sun is peeking out.  I plan to do some yard work today.  I have 20 bales of pine straw for mulching flower beds.  But first a workout with hand weights.  And some minutes on the stairclimber.

Oh, and I do plan to vote.

Wishing everyone a good day.

For breakfast just about every morning I've been having a home made veggie soup with lots of tomatoes, topped with goat cheese and croutons.  yum - I just keep making it.  I am hooked.

Carole  Good for you on the excercise.  My sis cajoled me into walking today, which I am glad we did, because the sun came out and it was beautiful.  Hopefully it will lift me outta this funk.

Michelle  Hope those rads blast that crap right out of there...be sure to rest...I know your family will make sure that you do.  Sending some positive vibes....here they come!!

Think I will do a steak on the grill and slice with onions for a cheesesteak sandwich tonight.

Haven't felt much like posting our food creations in the past few days. Two nights ago I made a gyro-flavored pate. Then I sliced it very thin and broiled it just before serving. In the past, we have tried to rottisserie the meat, but it always wants to collapse into the coals. This was better. I also made a thick gyros pita; turns out it is just another fry bread, without the oil. A tray of spanikopita and a simple salad finished the meal. I thought I was making a "simple" meal. How many ways was I wrong? The first night the kids joined us, and then we got another full meal plus some lunches.

Tonight I am on the edge of my seat about the election results, so I pulled out a chicken stew from the freezer and made some biscuits and some steamed broccoli.

Have no idea about tomorrow night's dinner. We are heading to the Cape for four days so don't want leftovers My friend caught a nice striper last week so that is one dinner. We are bringing a leg of lamb for another night, and from there, we will see what we want to do.

*susan*

Sharon wanted me to try that rice-chicken recipe with brown rice because it's a bit more Weight Watchers friendly. It was good, again, but the taste was quite a bit different. Since the only thing that was different was the rice, I will have to say I'm amazed at the taste of the jasmine rice.



Michelle..I'm still sending positive thoughts. My heart skipped a few beats when I read the note from "your" Christine (my daughter's name is also Christine). I wish I lived closer.



Apple, it seems that even one teenager is enough to make sure there are no left overs.. They say boys eat more than girls....I'm not sure. :-)
