Connie, your Hubby's chemo sounds suspiciously like "eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog."

So far he hasn't gotten the bag of ominous dark red drug that other patients were getting. Of course, there are some things that his cardiologists said "No way in hell are you giving that to him, are you crazy?"

Tom, I used to make choufleur en verdure from Julia Child's book. Pureed (cooked) cauliflower and watercress, mixed with seasonings, grated gruyere cheese, heavy white sauce, then baked in a casserole with more cheese, breadcrumbs and butter on top. yummy!

That does sound yummy

Hubby got the price tag for today's shot. $25,000, for fugu, yew, periwinkle, and something called happy tree (something Asian). All natural!

Eye of newt indeed. May good things come of it.

Where was that whole-head roasted cauliflower thing being discussed? If I can find it I might try that tonight.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have discovered that my sweet Marley's expensive medical tests have shown he is in perfect health, which is great news, but still leaves us stymied about why his appetite has decreased dramatically.

Full labs? So blood panel and urine? If you rule out physical, psychological. But from what you said, I'd still wonder at physical. Or a change in the food makeup. New bag?

Happy birthday, Andi.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thank you ever so much for the birthday wishes, darlings. You make me smile.

I would be in the Healthy Control Group for Depression. They wanted to know my handedness - which is a new wrinkle.

I don't know about depression, but I learned in a group session that there is some statistically significant correlation between leftiness (hand, eye, ear, foot) and addiction. I also found out that while I am a righty in three of those four, my left ear is dominant in spite of having once had that ear drum burst by a BB.

May that witches' brew do its job and prove itself to have been concocted by good witches, Connie.

I had a hard time not just eating the roast cauliflower I made for the gratin. It was so tasty.

Adriamycin, aka the red devil chemo. Been there, done that. It's hell on the heart, though. (My heart seems to be fine.)

Our wings are not tired.

No amount of cheese in the world can redeem cauliflower. It is the anticheese.

I love cauliflower any old way, but the guys like it when I bake it in a concoction of sour cream and cheese.

fugu, yew, periwinkle, and something called happy tree (something Asian). All natural!

Interesting, I mean I wish this wasn't stuff any of us had to learn about, but that sounds like quite the brew.
