Re: Ollie's Thoughts and Things
What a great idea to get a place with a kitchenette. You will be so much happier making your own food rather then eating out all the time. Will be much less expensive also. Good Choice!

Ollie, Hope all is going well with Ron's treatments. I look forward to meeting you at Mom's meetings at the church. You have done so well, and you are always so encouraging to everyone on the boards. Keep walking in faith. Country Girl

He meets with Oncology Dr on Wed. and the Radiation Dr on Friday. Hopefully they will lay out a treatment plan get started. I feel like it's been too long. It's been over a month since he was diagnosed and still no treatments. Of course, Ron tells me that I am too impatient.
Take care,
Ollie

Re: Ollie's Thoughts and Things
WOW! i just had the most delicious lunch. I read on someone's food journal that they had made lettuce-wrapped fajitas. Decided I had to try them. I had butternut squash fries with them. The meal was wonderful and I'm stuffed!! Now we are going to head to Huntington (the one Jamie Oliver is making famous) to go to a movie. The theater is right across the street from Jamie's Kitchen. They have recently renamed it to Huntington's Kitchen. It is a place where you can go to learn to cook healthy foods.
Take care,
Ollie

Re: Ollie's Thoughts and Things
Congratulations on the 50 lbs. Wow! Isn't this way of eating wonderful? You can be so contented with the tastes, even stuffed like you were today -- and still lose weight! How can it get any better than that? I love fajitas in lettuce, so good. Also the butternut squash fries! My husband ate them for the first time this week and I think I'm going to have to start making them all the time. He loved them.
Congratulations again! Way to go!

Re: Ollie's Thoughts and Things
Where can I find the recipe for Texas caviare? Joyful Friend served it last night and it was delicious. Now I want to make some.
Thanks,

Re: Ollie's Thoughts and Things
This is the recipe Lovin LDL Julie posted a couple of years ago for her Texas Caviar.
There are other versions you can see. Go to the message board main menu and search for "Texas Caviar" to see all kinds of discussion about it.

Re: Ollie's Thoughts and Things
OK, I found it. I couldn't find it because I was spelling caviar wrong.
I am going to use Country Girl's recipe because it was so delicious last night and also the other recipe has hominy in it.
Thanks,
Ollie

Re: Ollie's Thoughts and Things
We are going to the James Cancer Center today so they can put a stint in Ron's esophagus. It is so closed that he is having trouble even getting liquids down. They told us to be prepared, just in case he has to stay overnight, so we both have suitcases packed.
Long term goals.......1. Some day we will have a steak dinner (or lunch) together...........2. November, 2011 we will go to Florida to visit Aunt Lova in Belleview, then go down to LDL Convention in Key West, then take a cruise to the Bahama's (nether one of us has ever been on a cruise). The Dr's have promised to help us reach these goals (HUMMMMMM, wonder if they would chip in for the cruise. LOL).
Many blessings to each of you and Joyful Friend and Country Girl have fun tonight spreading the message!!!
