HELLO! Back here in COLD Ontario - Newfoundland was very light on winter weather. Usually at least 5 degrees warmer than home and less LESS! snow. Was held up by a couple of snow storms at my pups vacation stayplace. Which was nice because I came home with something like what PAV was describing. So it was nice to be taken…

I broke out laughing, Yooly. Rarely hear you speak so "coarsely" :) Always pisses me off too. Especially with winter boots!

My thoughts also, Yooly. That is REAL chicken soup :) I was waiting for the fake aspects. Hope you are feeling better, Nic. Hope many Fruitloops come to you before you hit the healthy eating trail too hard, Yooly! I had forgotten about that egg/potato/cauliflower salad, PAV. Must make it when I get back.

I'm hoping to work in that direction, Yooly. Just don't have myself together enough quite yet. Soon though! I sort of put the cart before the horse. That sounds delicious, PAV. Much flavour in those winter fruits????

Exactly! Nah on the son front - he is about an hour away, working full time and has a son himself. Once or twice a month I would feel okay with asking him - but not more than that. My long term plan was/is to have short term rentals - like an artist retreat sort of thing? For people to get away from "life" for a month or…

I have half a dozen eggs slowly petrifying in the fridge - left over from the cake baking. I'm determined to eat them, but just can't face them yet :# That grocery story visit was very successful! Nothing bad :) But last night I bought bread. So far not terrible. I was tickled to have toast with my yogurt this morning :)…

I'm so happy to read this, Yooly! How are you feeling? I couldn't get proper numbers for chemo - multiple little vs one larger tumour threw off the algorithm and the onco score just wasn't doable??? But that is sort of how my hormone blocker effect numbers came in. The difference between taking them for 5 years and not…

lol. I gifted many people cake on Monday and Tuesday this week :) Sorry - or glad? - to say it is all gone! Finished up my Greek yogurt yesterday and forgot to pick up more. This mornings breakfast is strawberries and clementines and a for some reason exceptionally delicious cup of tea! Moocho freezing rain so far today -…

Woohoo, Yooly!

I still haven't sorted out my fitbit. Mainly because I lost it for a few weeks! (it had migrated into a bag of Christmas bows - and did a fine job hiding). I'm looking forward to getting more engaged. It is exciting to read your stories hear. And inspiring. I've been in a bit of a mental bog it feels pretty well since I…

I love our group. What a trip, BC!!!! Two of the guests at this weekends birthday party just returned from 6 weeks in New Zealand and Australia. They travel extensively. She claimed New Zealand as perhaps her favourite place in the world. (she also met up with some relatives she has never seen before - and they sounded…

Thank you for that, PAV :)

You know - I'm really liking the look of on of our potential next leaders. Love his wife. Feeling hopeful. So very glad I'm not in your shoes, Yooly. Sounds like a heck of a lot of crazy going on. It is like we are living in some dystopian science fiction book.

I think you are even allowed to add fruit loops to your bath, Yooly. Hope all those great fluids help you feel better, Nic.

And it was made with egg whites. Five of them. No yolks, no yolk :)

Cake is all gone - much sent home with people - much delivered yesterday. Safe here again :) Though. That being said. The cake held me until mid afternoon :)

Bad bad breakfast today after a wacky weekend. Had a friend over from out of town and hosted a 3 person birthday party yesterday with 3 birthday cakes. Didn't eat terribly over the weekend or at the party - but did end up having a breakfast of white velvet cake

All done with the radiation now, Yooly?

Very interesting, PAV. Filling - but I imagine it doesn't hold for long? That is not really an issue - since different situations call for a different solution :)

again - needing the smiley respond :)

It's so freakin' hot where you live - but - you would look mighty cute. Sending you hugs.

Good for you and your bravery, Yooly! I wasn't willing to face the hormones. For me the difference for reoccurence was very small - and I already have enough problems with my joints. I hope the hormone blocker doesn't give you any trouble! And the chemo is gentle with you. Will we see a wild and crazy wig or two in your…

Great news on the hubby front, Yooly!

Why is there not a set "laughing" response? I guess because people use it in a nasty way ... but sometimes all you can do is laugh, really. Ah...brie...that explains the lack of prettiness. Delicious - but NOT pretty :)

Glad you are just about through, Yooly. How is your skin holding up?

Oh, PAV. I think we might not want to include this picture in your non-cookbook :wink: I don't eat a lot of eggs - I recognize their nutrition value but sometimes they just won't go down. I've been doing a lot more with lentils - very effective cost wise and not too unmanageable if you cook in bulk.

That is amazing, Nic. In the last images you sent you ARE looking pretty thin!

You need to put together a not cookbook, PAV. Honestly - I'm amazed at what you create without "cooking"

Belated Happy Robbie Burns Day to you, BC Ladybug!

Glad I only have to worry about the roots and stems :) Sending you strength and energy, Yooly. If I send mine to you it excused me to do silly things at the grocery store :)
