She like the flavor, just not the pain. When we eat spicy food, I dig out my Chipotle/Habanero sauce and "ceremoniously" shake away while giving her the single raised eyebrow. Makes her laugh.

Hi Wendy, Thank you! 1) because it tastes like Italian food, when it is suppose to taste like Mexican food 2) she loves pepper taste, but can't take the pain. This is why Poblanos are perfect. She can take them and they have a lot of flavor. -T |

I'm curious, were you a smoker? My BIL is going through something similar and had surgery today to have cancerous tonsils removed, and a cancerous lymph node. Were your tonsils involved as well?

If they are recommending radiation treatments for your BIL, HE MUST get to either Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC, Johns Hopkins in Maryland or MD Anderson in Houston. Head and neck radiation needs a specialized support team including an oncological dentist, speech therapists (mostly for swallowing issues), and others. My DH's cousin had treatment for tonsil cancer at Dana Farber, a major Boston hospital, and he lost all of his teeth because they did not advise him of the special care and need for fluoride trays. Radiation kills off salivary glands and the absence of saliva causes teeth to disintegrate. Most hospitals don't provide a mouth guard to protect at least one salivary gland. There are dentists who specialize in dealing with the effects of radiation but they are hard to find outside of the three centers I mentioned. I would not disrespect any hospital for cancer treatment, but when it comes to head and neck cancer and radiation, the three hospitals I mentioned are THE ONLY ones. Any radiation center can do the protocol, but only a few have the specialized support teams needed. I'm really serious. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count.

He will be doing several weeks of radiation and then chemo. They will know if his esophagus is involved since they did a scope yesterday with biopsies while doing the surgery. They will have the results on Tuesday. I don't think any of the hospitals around our area Sacramento/Stockton are known for their cancer treatments. He's kind of bullheaded, well, a lot bullheaded, but I think this might be scaring him enough that he'll listen to other opinions. Cheri |

If I manage to successfully grow Poblanos (I have a black thumb), I think I will try leaving some on the vine to turn red. I have a quart container of Chimayo powder. The older it gets the less fire. Seems to retain the flavor. Still too hot for the Mrs.. -T |

Glad she has a sense of humor. Trophies > are nice. I got one around here somewhere myself..lol. She aint big on > hot stuff either. Hi Bigwheel, Speaking of trophy wives, she called on the cell phone after I'd finished my rounds and was about to start errands, and asked me if I was anywhere near one of the fishing ponds. To shorten the conversation and protect my friends from a Diabetic coma, she basically said you'd had a hard day, why don't you stop by one of the ponds and fish for 30 minutes to blow off steam. Wow! I did and what excellent stress release and it gets my exercise in. (I hate exercise. But, tell me there are trout over that mountain, stick a fishing pole in my hand and ... So, I fish instead of exercise.) Anyway, she got an extra hug or two when I got home. And I threatened to brag about her. Fishing is great for up Diabetics. Gets our exercise in, lowers our stress, etc.. Once the first fish strikes, there is a whole attitude adjustment. Your feet no longer hurt, your back no longer hurts, you can't figure out why you let that customer get to you, its not too hot, its not too cold, the flies no longer buzz you, yada, yada, yada. And sometimes, you get to eat the results! -T oh ya, I also folded a load of laundry in the morning for the Trophy Wife. |

My dh fishes 4 to 5 times a week, but he doesn't eat them lately...strictly catch and release with him. I think he just doesn't want to clean them anymore. He did bring home a nice 3 1/2 pound black bass a few weeks ago and did eat it. :-) Cheri |

There is a wild stream I sometimes get to that is done with run off, if they are large, I will keep and eat. -T |

Enchiladas (Take 2) Authentic Enchiladas Verdes Recipe makes 4 servings Ingredients € 2 bone-in chicken breast halves € 2 cups chicken broth € 1/4 white onion € 1 clove garlic € 2 teaspoons salt € 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed (green tomatoes can be substituted) € 5 serrano peppers € 1/4 white onion € 1 clove garlic € 1 pinch salt € 12 corn tortillas € 1/4 cup vegetable oil € 1 cup crumbled queso fresco € 1/2 white onion, chopped € 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped Directions 1. In a saucepan, combine chicken breast with chicken broth, one quarter onion, a clove of garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, and then boil for 20 minutes. Reserve broth, set chicken aside to cool, and discard onion and garlic. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken with your hands. 2. Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a pot with water, enough to cover them. Bring to boil, and continue boiling until tomatillos turn a different shade of green (from bright green to a dull, army green). Strain tomatillos and chiles, and place in a blender with another quarter piece of onion, 1 clove garlic, and a pinch of salt. Pour in reserved chicken broth, so that liquid just covers the veggies in the blender by about an inch. Blend all ingredients until they are completely pureed. Pour salsa in a medium saucepan, and bring to a low boil. 3. Pour oil in a frying pan, and allow to get very hot. Slightly fry tortillas one by one in hot oil, setting each on a paper towel afterwards to soak some of the oil. Finally, dip slightly fried tortillas in low-boiling green salsa, until tortillas become soft again. Place on plates, 3 per person. 4. Fill or top tortillas with shredded chicken, then extra green sauce. Top with crumbled cheese, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro. -- Remember Rachel Corrie <http://www.rachelcorrie.org/> Welcome to the New America. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA736oK9FPg> |
