The good news is that they don't think it's any of the things they worry most about post surgery. The bad news is that they don't have a clue what it is. He's feeling fine this morning, so they are doing an MRI and trying to determine what has been causing the pain. Depending on what they find, we may be out of here by tonight, or they may have to do exploratory surgery.

Very much ~ma to ND.

Vibing for an easy and effective fix, Pix. Good thoughts to Drew.

Heaps and tons of health ~ma for Drew. May the solution so itself soon, and may the fix be easy.

Help! I need a Jew!

R has requested sour cream and cottage cheese for lunch some time. Her Mother used to make it for her. "I was raised on it."

Sounds delish. I'm in. Googling it, however, has proved to be problematic.

What do we think 50/50? Anything on the side?

I asked her what other foods her mother made that she liked. "Spagetti, with tomato sauce, but the Jewish way, not the Italian way."

This is fairly ungoogleable as well.

(It may just be she's considering things her mom made "Jewish". This is entirely possible.)

Trudy She may be thinking of a dish we called Hungarian noodles which was a combination of noodles, cottage cheese and sour cream, sometimes with bacon or chopped ham. It is one of those things that you just eyeballed so I don't have recipe but there is probably one on the Internet somewhere.

Be forewarned - it looks fairly disgusting but was classic comfort food since it was quick and we always had those ingredrients

Remember that work on the nearby rail bridge I said was going on this week? It's been unexpectedly quiet, so we almost forgot about it. Earlier this evening, it appears the crew working on the bridge hit a gas main. We were having dinner at a nearby pizza place, and weren't allowed back in for two hours. They've just let me back slightly before they should have done because I needed to get at medication.

Yikes! No exploratory surgery for Drew! (Well, of course, unless it would solve the problem.) So I guess what I mean is: no ailing innards that will necessitate surgery, exploratory or otherwise!

My mother just emailed my sister and me to tell us that she'd ordered this headband for both of us. [link] That's an $82 headband with a giant bow on the side of the head.

That's...an expensive piece of fabric. Pretty, though.

I'm pretty sure the classic Jewish version did not have bacon or ham. Though in our house lots of Jewish dished did end up with pork added.

You know, I vehemently dislike August 2010. I would like to register a complaint.
