Easy but tasty. Sat breakfast: hash from last night's leftovers; poached eggs, bacon, and sausages. Sat lunch: bread, cold meat, cheese (need a break, so something light) Sat evening: roast lamb with all the trimmings, as far as I take that. Sun breakfast: pancakes Sun lunch: shredded lamb layered casserole, from Sat night left-overs. Sun evening: ? A real blow out!

I'm sorry. I was tired when I made the comment, and I'd already moved it once from one wrong post, to another. What I want to know is, what does WIWTKI mean? ;) Yes, I am writing this from home. Josina, Gillian's sister, and her boyfriend are here husband sitting. They made a great lunch, and even tidied up afterwards, which is fortunate as I am feeling a little queasy. But that is improving fast, and I should be fairly normal by Saturday evening, just in time for the blow-out meal I had planned for the weekend. I know it does. I’m sorry.

But the bread here is soft, mushy stuff, I'm afraid. My bread is herby and crusty too. The soups have various things. The most recent was my own version of minestrone, with chicken stock, courgettes, onions, garlic, tomato, carrots, chicken matches, pasta and parmesan. The onion, leek, and potato soup has stock in it too. Tinned vegetables are always mushy, aren't they. And they don't like salt and sugar as much as tomato paste/sauce does, I'm afraid. My tip: buy and use a stock pot. :) Absolutely. But the bread here is soft, mushy stuff, I’m afraid. My bread is herby and crusty too. The soups have various things.

I hope the next session of chemo goes well and that if you do get a 'buzz' from the steroids it is at an enjoyable level. Cheers Mike K. Chris
