We had them over for dinner a few months ago, and the only thing her
husband said Amy can't have is tomato sauces... I'll check though.
Somebody else took them dinner today so I'll take my soup and quiche
along tomorrow and ask if there's anything else that she can't eat.
She's stopped chemo now because she starts radiation treatments in a
few days and they can't do both at once.
