Hi Hap,

-> But so neccessary for forest clearance tho! Better if man didn't
-> interfere but he does and makes them worse to a certain extent.

 HN> Sadly many of them are man caused; careless
 HN> campers walking off and leaving the fire going.

Some people just don't understand that you never leave a burning fire
without at least one person there to watch it. Same type of folks that
start heating something on the stove, then walk away and forget it.

 HN> Today the weather abated for the first time
 HN> this month! Temps in the low 70's and cloudy,
 HN> ahh, it feels good!!

That must be the front that we will get overnight on Thursday. Friday is
supposed to be in the low 60s, possibly 50s in some areas, with a good
chance of rain.

->  HN> Many folks have their generators "wired in"
->  HN> like Cuz'n Burt...and run by natural gas.

-> Doubt if our landlord would look at it ass a favorable idea tho. He's
-> accepted a lot of our home improvement ideas--storm doors,

 HN> I doubt that a landlord would put one in
 HN> for a tenant...One of these
 HN> days you might end up in a homeowner situation
 HN> of your own! Then you might consider it!

It's a dream, seems sort of vague at this point. We'd like to be home
owners but don't know if that will ever happen.

->  HN> those of us who like to vary from the
->  HN> "flight plan" of a recipe we'd be classed
->  HN> as heretics!
->  HN> Which did not bother me at all as long
->  HN> as the results tasted good!

-> Pretty much the same here. Give it a different name and all's right with
-> the world.

 HN> Yep...making chicken stew today, was gifted
 HN> a bunch of chicken thighs by someone (else)
 HN> who does not like "dark meat"....it makes the
 HN> best stew!!I'm thinking of adding coconut
 HN> milk and lime juice to this one at the
 HN> finish and making it a bit "thai" style...
 HN> Anyone that objects can make their own
 HN> soup! (grin)

I don't object per se; just let me get my portion out before you add the
coconut milk. Rachel did that last spring with a chicken curry. (G)

->  HN> We've had some of the appointments changed
->  HN> to fit the Oncologist's schedule, but for
->  HN> the most part we'll be infusion on Monday
->  HN> and Dr on friday for the next 11 weeks or so.
->  HN> Then we'll deal with the radiation folks.

-> At least you know what you're doing, when on those days. (G)

 HN> We're pretty much booked up until sometime
 HN> in the new year!

I'm not doing too much long range planning right now. Looks like I'll
have to find a new regular doctor; mine is joining a medical group that
doesn't take Tricare Prime. When I see her on Friday, I'll ask about
referrals.

-> But you're cooking more to what she wants to eat. Sounds like overall,
-> you're doing well as long as you make sure the pepper is out of her

 HN> I've pretty much always cooked to her desires.
 HN> So it has not been a huge adjustment in cooking

Sounds like my parents; Mom cooks to Dad's tastes (bland & boring).
After 61 years of doing it, that's the way she likes food too. She's a
microscopic bit more adventuous tho when it comes to new food; last
month she accepted the wilted spinach salad faster than Dad did. Could
be because the dressing was sweet (and a bit sour).


 HN> for me other than trying to find the right recipes
 HN> for her during chemo.

That's the challenging part. But, that one cook book you mentioned
should give some guidelines. Sometimes tho, even foods that are enjoyed
normally are rejected because the chemo alters the smell/taste
receptors.
