Thanks for all the suggestions! I asked Amy about her food
restrictions when I took the soup and quiche over and she doesn't
really have any. The only reason she can't have tomato is because it's
too acid for her stomach - she has enough stomach problems from all
the treatments that she has to avoid spicy/acidic foods. So onions etc
are fine. I told her that I'll take dinner over to them once a week
while she's having her treatments, so I'm going to have fun. She
starts radiation on Monday, so say a prayer for her! If it works she
should feel better pretty soon - her tumour's pressing on a nerve in
her shoulder and causing her a lot of pain, and hopefully that'll go
away as soon as it starts to shrink.
