Sunday, 10/3 -- What's my e-mail address?

In case you were wondering: My e-mail address is hidden to prevent "spam". It is "etc@" this dot com. Hopefully you can figure it out. If not, post a comment on this site.

This weekend I've been having moments of clarity where I feel like my old self. They don't last very long, but they encourage me to keep striving towards my goals.

Lyn's been busy in the kitchen experimenting with "whole foods" recipes. Trying new ingredients is always fun, especially when the dishes turn out delicious. The latest was Swiss chard with black olives and feta. I never had Swiss chard before (I'm not big on greens) and I enjoyed it very much.

It's funny, as a former vegetarian and someone who has eaten a relatively healthy diet in recent years... there are lots of vegetables that I've never tried. Swiss chard and rutabaga for example. Endives, turnips, collard greens and kohlrabi are some others.


To use a tired cliche, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life. Tomorrow will mark the longest I've gone without chemo since starting it in July. It feels like a milestone, no, it IS a milestone. I'll have to do something momentous, like put on pants or shave the 30 hairs that make up my beard.

So many possibilities.

Everything goes well with hummus. Everything.

Simply prepared foods can often be SO delicious: more delicious than boxes of things with 23 listed ingredients.

We sometimes get Swiss chard from my mother-in-law's garden. We get a LARGE amount of it, since it cooks down quite a bit. Lyn knows this, I'm sure. We just saute' it with some garlic and olive oil. Voila! Good and yummy. Next time, I'll have to try it with the feta and olives.
