Which would you like first? Most important good news: Mom’s post-chemo scans look awesome. Apparently, the weight she lost was 40 pounds of cancer. She says you have to really look to see the Big Tumor, and her liver is shrinking to nearly normal size. Huzzah. Chemo continues, and I’ll talk to ChemoDoc this week. [...]

But still about detox. And alternative medicine. Okay, and a little about poop. I’m in the fortunate position of having a lot of people around who care about me. Right now, that translates into, “You’re doing what? Is this safe? Are you sure you should be doing this? You are going to eat, right?” I’m doing [...]

First, I promise I will not chronicle the full detox, because ew. (Although, if I can write about cheese and wine, why not about brown rice and kale?) But I would like to announce that it’s Full Day Two and I’m not dead. I’ve got an intermittent migraine, but I was forewarned and am managing [...]

Hello! Do not be alarmed. I have not signed up for Oprah’s latest fad. (Dude. I haven’t even seen an episode since the late 90s.) I’m working with a nutritionist on figuring out which foods are causing which issues. I eat well, yes, but I didn’t for years and what I’m eating isn’t benefitting me [...]

What do women talk about? Everything. If you’re married to or otherwise attached to us, you should know that by now. When chicks get close [...]

Loving: I wish this matched my kitchen… Stepping away from the meat concept, I’m looking for Something Interesting for my bland bedroom. All ideas are appreciated.

It seems so disingenuous to call Bread Salad a salad. But I suppose it’s really just a different (BETTER!) treatment of croutons. I have mentioned this salad more than once. Because I love it more than I love my luggage. On my birthday, Alicia was kind enough to post the recipe, which I have wanted [...]

So said Dolly Parton as Truvy in Steel Magnolias. Usually, I tend to agree — a nice balance is what we all shoot for, right? If it goes on long enough, though, people start to look at you funny when you choke on your own tears. Vaguely… I am desperately sad for a friend. I [...]

Years ago, I went photo-crazy. I think it’s because there aren’t many photos left in my family from before I was born, and what we do have is poorly labeled, if at all. So I got a better camera (35mm) and started documenting family events and vacations. I’ve gotten a little better over the years [...]
