Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

Hey ladies, catching up today. Been a crazy week as now my mil has entered hospice. She is ready to meet her maker and we are trying to keep her at peace.I was always blessed to have the sweetest mil around and I will surely miss her.

@chicagoan Agree with all here that dismissive attitude seems a bit blase' and I'm definitely not a fan of it. These doc's need to be on the other side of the scalpel to fully understand. Nevertheless we are all in your pocket for this hip journey to go smoothly. hugs.

@irishlove Yup the potato trick is the key to draw out the salt. My you next pot of soup be a winner!

@sf-cakes Ugh how annoying but agree that's a pretty good span of never having to reschedule. In your pocket for stable.

@mara51506 Hope your treadmill is on the way to your house sooner than later.

@seeq Fingers crossed that nothing is brewing with your ankle.

@intolight Seems like it should be hot cocoa day for you…brrrr Wonder what kind of winter it will be!

@threetree Hope your MO appt went well.

Signing off, hope I didn't forget anyone with my scrambled brain lol.Hi and hugs to all here.

Have a good weekend❣️

Re: Zoom Meet-Up Bonded by Breast Cancer: Place to Keep Chatting

@katg , So good to hear from you! We’ve been there from the start of these groups and I enjoy seeing you and hearing how you are doing. You have certainly had a wild ride and carried it with grace and humor. You are a warrior!
I’ve gotten my back pain under control and I’m focusing on strengthening my core and getting more exercise in general. My MO has convinced me to stay on the letrozole as the studies show that it is the most effective for my circumstances. I just passed the 3 year mark last month (not subtracting my vacation). I look at that tiny brown pill every night and think “I made it through another day and this is one less pill I’ll have to take.” One day at a time, one more chance to live and love the best I can. I am grateful for the science that gives me a fighting chance. I am strong and I can endure what this fight throws at me. I don’t walk this path alone. I’m reminded of that every time I see one of the original gals in group!

Hope to see you soon!

Re: So...whats for dinner?

We harvested another 5 pounds of tomatoes today, so we went to work and "canned" 10 pints of stewed tomatoes. Blanching, peeling, coring and cutting up 20 pounds of tomatoes sure does make a mess.

Everything is cleaned up and the pressure canner is cooling down as I type this.

Sharon is getting used to both water bath and pressure canning, and is greatly enjoying it.

I married well. :-)

DH is an expert at setting mouse traps and deciding where to put them. I guess the five years he spent doing research with them gave him insight into how they behave. A cat is the best solution IMO but now we only have the neighbor’s cat who comes to visit.

Illimae, I haven’t been able to drink for a long time but I still really miss moscato. I hope you enjoyed your movie.

Dinner tonight was Austrian chicken in cranberry/apple sauce on German noodles.

Dinner tonight is fettuccine chicken florentine in Alfredo with a hunk of French bread and a glass of moscato.

Popcorn and a horror movie to complete my night.

Re: So...whats for dinner?

We enjoyed a fall in Vermont back in 1969, the year we got married. The color was gorgeous.

I had my leftover walleye chunks, battered and deep-fried, for lunch yesterday. It tasted delicious a second time with some homemade tartar sauce.

For dinner last night we had a bowl of corn chowder from the freezer and salsa chicken with black beans cooked in the grill/oven. I do enjoy that combination of chicken, salsa and black beans topped with sour cream. I didn't have any shredded cheddar.

In packing up grocery items yesterday, I discovered we've had a mouse visitor who got into a box of Spanish rice-a-roni and a package of two pizza crusts. I set a trap in the now-empty cabinet but no captured mouse this morning.

Intolight, Homemade banana bread makes any meal delicious.

Carole, I'm glad you ended out at a quieter good restaurant by default.

Eric, That's great turnaround time on your passport. I renewed mine last September and it arrived quickly. I think this time of year is quiet for passport applications since summer is finished and holiday travel is still a bit away.

Illimae, Good to hear things are stable enough. Those au gratin potatoes sound delicious.

Dinner tonight was salmon, sautéed summer squash and pan fried baby potatoes. This afternoon we drove out for ice cream: black bear for me and apple crisp for DH. The leaves are starting to change. In spite of the drought the sugar maples are brilliant red and pink.
