Joyce - it's the Glenview Pub and Grille (used to be called the Glenview Lounge) on 3A in No. Chelmsford. I'll let you know if it lives up to his expectations and memories...lol!

Michelle- Your chicken sounds yummy- I have been on a greek olive kick lately, at safeway in the olive bar i get the greek olives mixed with feta cheese, and then top it with there marinated articokes i then will put that in my chicken and add some asperagus, some times i add a little cream to it. Have a great dinner out!
Joyce- I hope you have a great weekend off and a fun lunch with michelle tomorrow!
Its our friday night out too as usual. im not feeling like going out, Its 3pm and i still have not got dressed yet! LOL! But DH always needs his drink by friday after working hard all week so i guess i will muster up the energy to get in the shower.
Have a great week-end everyone!

Ooohhh!!! I am blushing again! Joyce - you and Bob are the answer to my prayers! We have tons of family here, and friends in Milton but we needed friends right here! Oh by the way, I was in St. Joseph's today at the Dionne Sr Center with my mom, but I couldn't really call you. She has another appointment in six weeks and we'll plan to visit you after her doctor visit.
And now, let me tell you about the Glenview...it was like stepping back into a 20 year time warp! The place is exactly the same - the same stuff on the walls, the same booths, the same everything! And get this - the prime rib special is $11.99 (it was $8.99 way back when). I swear it was 14 ounces along with one side, cooked a perfect medium rare. We both ordered it, and we got one salad and one baked potato - just perfect. Well, more meat than I could eat but DH had no problem polishing his off. Two dinners with tip for $30...seriously!!! I'm not sure how you beat that bargain.
And now we are home, I'm going to try and stay awake until 10 so I don't wake up at "oh dawn thirty" like I did this morning. Going to watch the Red Sox have their way with the lowly KC Royals.

i do like prime rib.. one meaty meat that I really enjoy.. (not toooooooooo rare tho).

Mmmmmm....prime rib.......
Before I tell you all what I had for dinner tonight, I should tell you that I am NOT PREGNANT. That said: a bowl of leftover split pea and ham soup from yesterday, with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a glass of pink grapefruit juice. Maybe some of those rads are somehow getting into my brain?

Joyce and Michell I believe there are no coincidences in life, That if we meet people there is a REASON, and it was meant to be, What a great beautiful thing! I have seen it happen here so often too- Love it!
Lena- LMBO you are so funny! At least i hope you meant ot be :P
Had fun tonight but Dh had hurt his wrist all of a sudden he whined how bad it was all night long (try pushing a 5 pound baby out) Jk of course, and im thinking geeso, quit whining, but kept babying him, then our friend sang "Get on board the train, soul train" And i got every one in the place to get behind me and holding on to each others hips dancing though the whole place, like a caboose, thinking i looked cute cool and sexy ( At least in my mind) then, i twisted my ankle and went down it hurt so bad, what a kill joy i was, LOL so i hobbled back to my chair and whined how bad my ankle was, what a pair 'DH and i were tonight LOL!

Lena - that is quite a combination you enjoyed last night! I haven't had split pea soup in a long time...another month or so and soup weather will be here.
Debbie - I can just picture the whole place hopping, with everyone behind you! Too bad you went down, what a bummer! Hope that ankle is OK this morning. RICE it if it still hurts (good excuse for DH to pamper you today).
I'm looking forward to lunch today with Joycek. Here's a link to the place we are going - the main house is the illustrative site for the 1948 version of Little Red Riding Hood, and there is a cute display on the grounds:
It will be a nice drive "over the meadow and through the woods."
Have a great day, everyone!

Hi everyone! I am doing well. Surgery went smoothly am supposed to get released tomorrow. Feeling pretty good, I am sure in the next couple of days will be feeling a lot better. As far as what's foe dinner - hospital food blah! Maybe dh will pick something up for me tonight instead, but I'm not that hungry any way and vegetable lasagna might actually be good. Sounds like everyone is eating well and having fun. Enjoy the weekend. It's still raining here, already the rainiest month in history.

Hey Lena.. check with your meds to see if they interact with grapefruit or grapefruit juice.. (two of my absolutely favorite things)...
prime rib and grapefruit juice really sounds fantastic this morning... not that I'm up for a meal.
0 -
That's OK if you laugh at me, I don't mind. :-)
Michelle, your "soup season" is my soup season. I'm just starting sooner because it's really easy to get a nice hot meal by dumping half a can of soup in a bowl and microwaving it...no pots and pans to wash, only the bowl and spoon. Easy is always good of course, but on rads it's even better (chemo too -- my eating pattern on rads is almost identical to what it was on chemo). Well, I guess eating all that weird food yesterday is maybe why I'm not hungry yet for today; all I've had so far is my two cups of morning coffee (and my medication). I do have more easy food (including the other tub of cottage cheese!) left; I'll have to check in later when something appeals to me. I know, let's hope it's not TOO gross. LOL
ETA: Apple, I know about the grapefruit juice thing because the 13 years I was on anti-migraine meds I couldn't have grapefruit or grapefruit juice for exactly that reason. None of the medicines I take now have that restriction, thank goodness, because I really LOVE pink grapefruit juice!!!!! I still used to drink one 8 oz bottle a year on my birthday on the old meds. Nothing happened, but I guess it's because I only did it once a year and when I did it, it was basically only one glass worth.

Michelle- What a cute quaint little place- Have fun today at lunch
Kay- Glad you are doing well, if i lived there i would bring you something other than hospital food ;(
Welcome Symtom- Your chicken chili sounds good!
I just watched Bobby Flay do a brunch, he did a Gratefruit with a little honey and mint, Havnt had it in years but this sounded great~

Joyce and I had a very nice time at lunch today, and we talked all the way there and all the way back! It was fun and we'll do it again. The food was lovely and I ate my first ever edible flower...lol!
Kay - so glad to hear from you, hope you are healing well and get sprung from the hospital very soon! And good for hubby, to bring you some good food! Hospital food always leaves lots to be desired!
I love grapefruit and grapefruit juice, too. Might be time to bring home a couple of them!

Speaking of soup,
I made the most accidentally delicious soup for dinner. I had saved the liquid from a pot roast in the freezer and used it for the broth, cut up a cheap piece of thin beef that I was going to use for stir fry. Anyway, the accident happened when I thought I was adding some frozen diced carrots. Turned out they were diced sweet potatoes from my box of Angelfood. I also didn't have any canned diced tomatoes that I usually add, so I added about a cup of mild salsa. It really worked out great! Other ingredients included some frozen lima beans, green beans, onions, 2 cloves of garlic and pearl barley.

Shelley - that sounds like a delightful accident!

I wanted to drop a note and let you know I might not be around for a few days. My house was hit by lightning as was I. Very scary but I'm ok. When I get to a real computer I will fill you in. I'll check in via cell but it is tough to write much! Things are a mess but it could have been much worse.

Oh Laurie - what a frightening thing to happen! Glad you and your family are safe, could have been a terrible tragedy. Is there anything we can do to help?
Hugs,
Michelle

WOWLaurie what a scary experience!!! Glad you are ok please keep us posted. I think someone up in that big sky was trying to get your attention.
Kay glad to hear from you and that you are doing well. Hope you get home soon and getting some good food. Make sure DH pampers you for awhile...you've earned it.
I think we are dining out tonight for a friends birthday...not sure where yet. Raining here today.

Today we took a ride up to the Maine beaches area and stopped for lobster stew at a place we remembered from years ago. And then there was the ice cream cone and the blueberry muffin. Well, after all, I was in Maine and I needed to have a real Maine blueberry muffin. Very, very nice!

Laurie, that is so frightening! I hope everything is fine. I have always been scared of thunder storms. Now I will be terrified. You are in my thoughts.
Thanks for the good thoughts everyone. Home from the hospital, no more hospital food! Yay! My sister made eggplant parm and brought it over tonight. Very nice and very good. Although, I have to admit Michelle, lobster stew in Maine sounds a bit better. Especially if I topped it off with ice cream and a blueberry muffin! Glad you enjoyed your day.
And thanks everyone for the good thougts and prayers. As they say, the DIEP surgery is not easy, but it is a little easier every day and was worth it. Have a wonderful evening everyone!

Hi all,
Had some stuff going on on the home front that I have been having to deal with so haven't had much time here!
Wanted to welcome shelleyj43 and symptomen....
I have lots of catching up to do but wanted to say...
Kay,
Soooooo happy to hear that you have come through your surgery AND are back posting so soon!! Good to hear you are doing so well!!
Laurie,
Well HOLY CRAP!! Hit by Lightning?!!! Hope all is OK.... Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.....
I was never frightened by storms before we lived in MN for 5 years.. The storms there were really scary, complete with tornado sirens... Even though it is not common here, I stillget really tense when we have bad storms!!
Thinking of you and your family!
Sending huge hugs and comfort!!0 -
Michelle- Lobster stew MMMM, sounds so good, and a lot better than my pork chops and asperagus
Hi seaside- Hope everything is ok at home now and you are doing good! Im the biggest scaredy cat ever, thunder and lightning storms make me wanna cry, I have been told where we live now we get whicked storms, so far (and hope we dont) its been pretty nice the year we have been here!
Lena- I love fig newtons i havnt had them in forever, gonna get some on next trip to store along with cottage cheese, i had cottage cheese with peppadews today for lunch i drizzle the peppadew juice over the CC and it is so good!
Kay- Glad you are feeling better every day! And glad to hear it was worth it, in the future im going to have that done.

Can of corn is for dinner. Heated in the microwave and then mixed with mayo and relish and salt.
Sorry if I'm making anyone feel sick. It was what I felt like when I looked at the ingredients on hand.
That's so scary Laurie, Kay I hope you have something much better for dinner. lol And I hope everyone else enjoyed their dinner

Bedo- HMMM quite a combination, Does it taste like a corn pudding that way?
0 -
that can of corn.. well, corn is one vegetable that is acceptable canned. the other is beets, which I abhor.
0 -
Bedo...funny combo, but i think going through this (chemo rads etc) is like being pregnant and you just gotta eat what your body is craving...I ate my weight in dill pickles during chemo, it was the only thing that appealed to me.....must be i needed the salt.
Last night i tried one of those philadelphia cream cheese flavored creme sauces...mixed with pasta and broccoli,corn. Used the santa fe blend and it was pretty good and quick, had it with steak on the grill.
Ended up getting my Herceptin on Fri after the echo (which was ok) and it kicked my butt this time around, dont have a clue why, I usually have no major SE but got a really persistent headache and some mild nausea.

Carberry - I have found that salty things taste best, too, except for ice cream. I think the ice cream is soothing the hearburn. I'm off today to get some strong generic Pepcid (famotidine). I think I'll trade it for the Prilosec I've been taking. Taxol stimulates a different proton pumper and I am really noticing reflux, so I'm gonna fix that today! I can take both if necessary, but I'm going to give the Pepcid a try by itself. Sorry to hear the Herceptin kicked your butt, how many more of these do you have to get through?
Kay - hope you are continuing to heal nicely from your DIEP. You will be my role model - I really, really want to get that done next year.
I need to hit the grocery store for something for dinner. Having no clue, it will be whatever looks good in the grocery store.
