RH> We're aiming for a good outcome.  Having the doctors push everything

Makes sense.  I didnt get to Tonoo yet with Tina.  Maybe tomorrow since it's a
holiday.  There's a typhoon out there someplace but not close enough to be
more than rain here.  That 10 hour special on the Ice Trucks finally hit and
I've been watching it off and on most of the day.

RH> has left me lop sided; I'll be even more so after the next one. (G)

 CS> LOL!  My Mom say's she's lopsided too but only she notices it.  Most
 CS> women BTW are a bit so but others never notice.

RH> Rachel fusses about it too. (G)  It's not worth the thought of more
RH> surgery to correct tho.

Yeah.  I think I'm a little bigger on the left side but no one else notices it.
Mostly a minor bra fit issue.  I overlap a little on the left and gap slightly
on the right.


 CS> My sister had some treatment, but she never mentioned much what it was
 CS> so I dont really know.  It was 'just in case' she said.  She almost
 CS> needed the hysterectomy over the fibric tumors anyway.  Hope I have th
 CS> eterm right, endometriosis?

RH> Sounds about right to me; that can be a rather non fun issue.

So it seems.  I had a friend with it and she ended up getting a hysterectomy
too.  Really painful menstrual cycles and they kept comming faster and faster
near the end.  Like a 2.5 week 'cycle' thing going on.  Unfun.  Her quality of
life dramatically improved as soon as she was back on her feet.  I lost trackk
of her sometime in Norfolk area (we worked together in Hawaii) but I saw she
made Masterchief about 3-4 years ago.  We were fellow E5's back then in
Hawaii.

RH> done very easily with refined sugar. (G)

 CS> Yeah, well I never make that mistake but I could have when I was
 CS> drugged tot he eyeballs that day!

RH> You sounded like you were floating. (G) Good thing Charlotte is as old
RH> as she is so she can fend for herself and fix meals for mom.

Yeah.  It was fun to have her make us dinner.  Right now, she's munching down
fish sticks (traditional MS Pauls type) and perogies.  Vegetable medley at the
side, left over from yesterdays picnic.  I was a little short on veggies so we
took some of the excess back up here from the others.

Since many here like hearing our little escapades, the vegetable medley is a
mix of:  GF grilled eggplant, steamed Gobo root (Burdock root), Daikon,
Satsumo Ito potatoes, green beans (long bean) that had been cooked with a
little sesame oil, and carrot chips that had been blanched then butter dipped
and 'grilled' with a garlicy brown sauce.  I threw in some oyster sauce and
Jufran bannana sauce and reheated it just for a bit.

Right now, the oven is making that apple pie (the one Elise has dibs on the
seconds of) as she's finishing off a pork roast in her oven and wanted apple
pie for a finisher.  She's baking a local yam-type potato at the sides and no
room for the pie.  She's bringing over a pint of vanilla ice cream later as we
were out and she says you arent allowed to eat apple pie without icecream <g>.

More soft foods for Shawn.  Some easier fixed than others.

  one day point to re-warm in the microwave later.
  
  Snapper, Lingcod, Sea Bass good choices (mix several types for best
  results but avoid using much Cod as it will fall apart) Chop
  bitesized.
  
  Saute onion in bacon until translucent, then add all but the milk to
  the crockpot and cook 2.5 hours on high, or 8 hours on low.  Add the
  milk, and cook one more hour.  Ready to serve!
  
  Nutritional information:  Relatively low fat for this type of dish,
  lowish in sodium depending on type of fish used.  Sugar free so
  suitable for diabetics/hypoglycemics.
  
  Makes about 12 servings.  Serving suggestion:  with a green leafy
  salad, a mild dressing of olive oil and parmesean cheese, and hot
  toasted crusty bread with a sliver of velveeta cheese toasted with
  the bread and spread on top. xxcarol From: Carol Shenkenberger Date:

MMMMM

Shawn, this second one is a winner in the soft food area, yet it's not
'applesauce'.  Try crisp green apples.  Dont peel but you eat with a spoon and
may want to omit the skin from eating.  Once you remove them from the
crockpot, let cool on the counter for 15-20 mins depending on the heat
sensitivity of your tounge just now.
