Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Yours probably is simple, ours is new fangled electronics.
 NB>  NB>> True, ours is simple, not electronic... :)

 RH> Old fashioned basics win out over new fangled elctronics again. (G)

 NB> Indeed.  :)

That's why I do a lot of things the old fashioned way.


 NB>  NB>>> Nice thick pocket bread...  :)  Good for substantial fills...
 NB> :)  RH>> Yes, now we can make the Turkish style doners like we had in
 NB> Berlin.  NB>> So now it's less necessary to find an authentic supplier
 NB> here.. ;)

 RH> No, especially since Steve just mixed up a double batch.

 NB> And you can figure out your own fillings... :)

I'll let Steve do the nut butters. We'll both do ham salad; I'll try
chicken fish (canned chicken in cans abotu the size of a tuna can),
others TBD.


 NB>  NB>> Preliminary update... the stress test is scheduled for
 NB> tomorrow... the  NB>> doc is supposed to be using that to decide what

 RH> And by now, it should be history. Hopefully you'll get some idea of
 RH> the results right away.

 NB> The technicians apparently were well impressed by his performance on
 NB> the treadmill... hopefully the doctor will be as well.  He was able to
 NB> get
 NB> to a good rate, and hold it for 6 minutes, and what stopped him was
 NB> his legs getting tired by the unusual stress on them... And while
 NB> there was still some irregularity in the heartbeat, he said that the
 NB> monitor was
 NB> showing a certain regularity to that irregularity.  :)  I'm thinking
 NB> he should try to get the doctor to call him on Monday to find out what
 NB> the doc's thinking about letting him go back to work...  I think he's
 NB> planning to do that..  Otherwise, we don't see that doc again until
 NB> August, and I'm sure that Richard doesn't want to wait that long.  :)
 NB> We see the Electro cardiac doc on the 10th, that's mostly about the
 NB> LifeVest and whether or not they think he'd need an implanted defib..
 NB> We're thinking not so likely any more, as the meds do seem to be
 NB> controlling the A-fib pretty well already.  But I know, he's really
 NB> still in the healing process, for a while yet... even though he really
 NB> is feeling and doing pretty well.  :)

Sounds like things are going fairly well. Steve sees the back surgeon on
Tuesday again, hoping for an increase in what he can lift/carry. I see
my cardiologist on Wednesday but don't expect much of anything different
from the last visit in December.

 NB>  NB>>> It was tasty all the same, and made two meals, as there was
 NB> plenty  NB>>> of it.  The second night I tossed in some fresh
 NB> mushrooms (after  NB>>> steaming them) to balance the sodium even
 NB> further, and make a
 NB>  NB>>> little variety..  :)  We certainly appreciated the thought and
 NB> the  NB>>> love behind the meal.  :)
 NB>  RH>> Those are the times you just smile and say "thank you". Been
 NB> there,  RH>> done that.
 NB>  NB>> Exactly.  :)

 RH> So, how did it taste?

 NB> As I said, it was tasty... The chicken was moister than white usually
 NB> is, no doubt because of the marinade..  and the veggies were cooked
 NB> nicely...  She's a pretty good cook, even if she doesn't quite have
 NB> the same tastes as we do.  :)

But aren't you glad we don't all cook alike? (G)
