Hey Michael!

->  HN> Bummer, that can be a real painful occurrence,
->  HN> and considering he's already weak it can be
->  HN> really nasty! Hope it gets cleared up quickly!
-> 
-> He was doing well enough so they deemed him ready for
-> another chemo treatment; he came back from that and is
-> very under the weather. Annie is freaked. I came back with
-> an NIH site that explains that deep fatigue is an almost
-> inevitable effect of the stuff (C225, same as my sister
-> had and didn't do squiddly for her), with headache and
-> malaise and confusion being frequent complaints.
->
Hmmm, are they giving him Magnesium in 
the infusion as well? When they omitted
that from one of Anne's treatments,
there was a noticeable drop in her energy 
levels...which improved when they replaced
that in her next infusion. Realizing that
the effects are cumulative and become
more pronounced the further you get into
the chemo helps as well. When Anne gets
fatigued now it's much MORE pronounced 
than it was initially. 
-> 
->  -> but all I could think was blecch. This Sunday I am going to
->  -> challenge my taste buds with a heavy, tannic Rioja just to
->  -> see what happens, but I predict the results will not be good.
->  HN> HOKEY SMOKES BULLWINKLE!!! I wonder if this
->  HN> aberration will extend to other spirits? What's
->  HN> next? Will there be no END to this insanity??
-> 
-> I've gotten this enormous sweet tooth and have been
-> enjoying sweet chocolate (and even the occasional milk
-> choc with a pill), donuts, and coffee with Coffee-Mate
-> and sugar. Dark beer, which I used to like despite its
-> being too sweet, I now like despite its being too bitter
-> (which it's not). Very strange. I am glad that my taste
-> for a big bloody steak hasn't changed yet - if that happens,
-> you might as well put a chunk of granite at my head.
->
Damn! Sweet tooth can be very bad! Have you been
testing your blood numbers at all? And now you're 
liking Coffee too? (is the caffeine still hyper
affecting you?). I like the dark beers too!
I have a can of Double Chocolate Stout here 
waiting for the appropriate "happy day" for 
me to enjoy it!..happy that your meaty 
predisposition is still functional!
 
-> Oh, yes, Courvoisier now chokes me.
->
HOLY CRAP!!! What about rum? Scotch?
Bourbon? 
 
-> Hofbrauhaus Munchen products
-> 
-> original helles - slightly skunky, an average lightish
-> beer with some hop presence and a lot of grain. C-
->
Green bottle??
 
-> dunkel - fairly rich flavor, molassesy sweet, more burned
-> and hoppy than I remembered, though that probably has to
-> do with what's happened to my taste buds lately. Coffee. B
->
Sounding better!
 
-> Oktoberfest - very disappointing; just a tiny bit hoppier
-> and a tiny bit stronger but essentially similar to the
-> original. C
->
Eh...what can I say...We'll blame
this one on those taste buds!
 
-> weiss - bananas and clove, hint of citrus; way too light.
-> Despite my seriously compromised palatal condition, I still
-> don't understand what people see in this style. C-/D+
->
Some folks taste is NOT in their mouth!!
 
-> Squid Vinaigrette
-> cat: Italian Dressing, starter, seafood
-> yield 4 to 5 c
-> 
I LIKE squid! Have a friend in Perth
Australia who says to tenderize squid
you can used mashed up kiwi fruit!

Chat with you soon!
