4:21 pm

here is dinner tonight in the crossy household it is a quick easy dish and i pre-cook the sausage and let in marinate in the sauce in the fridge all day and if i do not have any leftover pasta i just do it at same time so near dinner time i just slam it all together in 5 minutes and bake.add a nice salad and a crusty itallian loaf of bread and you have a full meal to feed4-6 people
4:21 pm
crosshair

450g pack pork sausages
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp golden syrup or honey
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion peeled and sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and diced
200g mushrooms, wiped and quartered
1 tsp chilli powder
400g can chopped tomatoes
150ml apple juice
300g cooked left over pasta bows (or other shapes)
150g Edam or other firm white cheese, diced

6 easy steps...
Preheat the oven to 400F/200C/Gas 6. Place the sausages in a baking try and cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the mustard, ketchup and golden syrup.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the onion, red pepper and mushrooms, stir fry for 5 minutes then add the chilli powder, chopped tomatoes and apple juice and stir well.
Stir in the cooked left over pasta. Spoon into an ovenproof serving dish.
Remove the sausages from the oven and slice each into 3 on a diagonal. Tip into a bowl, drizzle with the mustard mixture and arrange over the pasta.
Scatter with diced cheese and return to the oven for 20 minutes.

OMG! Your doing it wrong! Yorkshire puddings should be served with roast beef! And if made correctly, should NEVER be bready. Just light n fluffy & ethereal!

Sorry for the rant! Hi all :-)
5:01 pm

There you go, Soodle! I was just thinking the same thing! YP should be thin and light and soaking up the beef juices! Yum..
5:03 pm
Soodle

<------ makes seriously good YP! Its all in how much you 'batter' the batter!.......
5:04 pm
Soodle

Hey Mimi. :-)
5:05 pm
MimiCat

Yep---it's not like a souffle or bread where you put a lot of batter in and it becomes dense....basically the opposite, right? Just a thin layer and get it crispy on the outside. ((Soodle)) Wouldn't you know us Irish can cook it!

Have they given a prognosis, sue?
5:11 pm
uusue2

we've been living together 5 years but were apart for 38 years before that, dated and got engaged in high school but drifted apart when we went to different colleges
5:12 pm
Soodle

<------- Sucker for the happy ever after stories! :-)
5:12 pm
MimiCat

Amazing picture on your icon, sue!
5:12 pm
uusue2

so we set a world record for length of engagement, I think, almost 45 years!
5:12 pm
uusue2

no prognosis, mimi, except that he will have to go for scans every 3-6 months from now on
5:13 pm
MimiCat

Wow...I can't imagine being with anyone that long. I had to head for the hills after 23!
5:13 pm
uusue2

well, that 38-year gap in the middle makes it seem much shorter :-)
5:14 pm
MimiCat

Guess you can ask crossy about the continuing scans. But if he has made it this far I would think it looks pretty good.

I didn't know your history with Frank, sue....amazing! I'm still friends with my first love (at age 15) but he is married (for the 3rd time)...not at all interested in a mate anymore anyway.
5:15 pm
uusue2

it just depends on whether there were stray cancer cells left after the surgery, and if the chemo has done them in or not - which we won't know unless they grow into something big enough to be visible on the scan - but because he was stage 4 they will never say he is cured or even in remission
5:15 pm
uusue2

so it is scary, and will continue to be scary, but we will just have to cope with things as they happen
5:16 pm
MimiCat

I guess you just must live every day as a blessing, sue, and make the most of it.
5:16 pm
uusue2

Indeed.
5:17 pm
Soodle

Sue, will you give that husband of yours a great big squashy hug from me? Thanks!
5:17 pm
MimiCat

That's kind of the way I feel now a year and a half after my heart attack.
5:17 pm
uusue2

I will indeed, soodle! :-)
5:17 pm
Soodle

:-)
5:17 pm
uusue2

ah, I didn't know about that, mimi, must have been a real wake-up call!
5:18 pm
MimiCat

Not at all the same as cancer but still glad to be alive.
5:18 pm
Soodle

Nor I Mimi?
5:19 pm
MimiCat

Woke up to a heart attack one morning and called the ambulance. Had 100% blockage of an artery. Was in hospital for 4 days and then on 8 medications that were worse than the heart attack. But down to 3 now and walking 1/2 mile in 12 minutes. Only slowed me down a bit!
5:19 pm
uusue2

good for you, mimi!
5:20 pm
MimiCat

I've almost died 3 times in my life and I'm convinced I'm still here because God doesn't want me up there criticizing the way he's doing things! I can almost hear him saying "Leave her down there, I don't need the grief!"
5:20 pm
uusue2

I keep saying that once I actually retire I will get my diet and exercise to a much healthier state than they are in now - I have another 4 weeks :-)
5:21 pm
MimiCat

Get my first early retirement check next month, sue, and so happy to have an income again.
5:22 pm
uusue2

ah, good for you! I actually am collecting retirement but am also working, so am looking forward to the "working" part going away.
5:23 pm
MimiCat

I'm trying to get a part-time job to supplement. In another 1.5 yrs. I'll get more because my ex will be of age. That will be nice.
5:24 pm
uusue2

ah, that will help. I can also get some Social Security but plan to wait as long as possible to claim it - I should be ok as long as the state of Illinois stays solvent, which may not be very long the way things are going
5:25 pm
MimiCat

Waiting also for lawsuit against Social Security to get to court (takes 15-18 months!) so I'll, hopefully, get the back money they denied me wrongfully. They turn EVERYONE down now. Even turned down a guy I know who had terminal cancer...and did die! Horrible process and so unfair.
5:25 pm
uusue2

Ugh, that is really awful :-(
5:27 pm
MimiCat

All I did last year after the heart attack was file and wait, three times. Have a lawyer who specializes in SS law and has been in practice for over 10 yrs. so must be good or wouldn't still be practicing. He gets 25% when we settle but I probably wouldn't get anything if I didn't have him, so that's OK. Just hate waiting!
5:27 pm
uusue2

fireworks! (that is, I found all 47 words :-P )
5:28 pm
uusue2

Yes, it seems that having a lawyer is the only way to get SS unless you are old enough to claim it anyway
5:28 pm
MimiCat

Good for you, sue! I'll be giving up LONG before that.
5:29 pm
MimiCat

This SS was disability-related so age isn't a factor.
5:29 pm
uusue2

didn't use to be the case - when my mom died my sister got a check automatically since she was still under age
5:29 pm
Soodle

Golly! Well done Sue! I'm struggling with this grid.
5:30 pm
MimiCat

Yep, Soodle, this is one mean little bugger!
5:30 pm
uusue2

well, I couldn't have done it without lickety and morewords!
5:30 pm
MimiCat

I never get all the words on any of the grids, but at least with the bigger ones I can have fun and feel productive. These little ones just aggravate me.
5:31 pm
MimiCat

Not ambitious enough to list, sue! Such an underachiever!
5:32 pm
uusue2

well, I am actually learning more words by doing this, so I guess that is a good thing! Keep the old grey matter functioning...
5:32 pm
MimiCat

I probably should...just not motivated yet.
5:34 pm
MimiCat

Must get some things done. Good talking with you two lovely ladies! BIG hugs.
5:34 pm
uusue2

that's one of the things I like about this game - you can decide for yourself how you want to play, and how you define success!
5:34 pm
uusue2

bye, mimi! See you later!

6:57 pm
crosshair

but remember,SHE proposed to me,so she asked for it! lol
6:59 pm
uusue2

we are good, crossy, we've been together for 5 years already anyway so no big change in the day-to-day routine, but it is nice to be married, finally
6:59 pm
crosshair

i am sure it is:))
6:59 pm

it changes things,especially in the states

hi jes!
7:00 pm
crosshair

howdy,jes
7:00 pm
uusue2

yes, the health insurance is a big deal here
7:01 pm
crosshair

matters not here,but a wedding brings a closer union a noeness of body and soul
7:01 pm
crosshair

oneness
7:01 pm
uusue2

yes, there is that too
7:02 pm
crosshair

so close,that when you close your eyes,i go to sleep...
7:02 pm
uusue2

my father was rather surprised when I told him about it on the phone (it was a done deal by then); I will have to write him a note
7:03 pm
uusue2

crossy, Frank is coming up on his last chemo treatment on Wednesday, and is starting to get quite anxious about the upcoming scan (probably about 3-4 weeks away) which will tell us if the chemo actually worked or not
7:04 pm
crosshair

yaaa for frank.i remember this day from my post second cancer chemo.i remember it well
7:04 pm
crosshair

this is the bit test.for all the marbles
7:04 pm
uusue2

I am pretty anxious about it myself, the statistics are not on our side on this one :-(
7:06 pm
crosshair

i did not want to tell you the stats.i already knew them,but you are a samrt woman and you know our cancer tratments have come leaps and bounds in the last 30 years.remember,if terry fox were alive and doing his run today,he would of survived
7:06 pm
uusue2

I hope so
7:06 pm
crosshair

smart
7:07 pm
uusue2

just read a paper about the treatment Frank is getting, it extends survival by an average of 4 months (from 25 to 29 months after diagnosis)
7:07 pm
uusue2

I am hoping, since he was an extremely early stage 4, that he will be on the long-lived tail of the distribution
7:08 pm
uusue2

but we will just have to see, and enjoy the days we have
7:08 pm
crosshair

at least.and remember,the survival curve improves once you get past 3 years till the 5th year when it is reduced to 10% chance of a cancer other than the initial type
7:08 pm
uusue2

he's planning to leave his port in for a while, just in case
7:09 pm
crosshair

yes.if his oncologist is good with it,by all means
7:09 pm
crosshair

i have a big test coming up myself in the second week of june
7:10 pm
uusue2

he'll have to switch oncologists once he's on my insurance; the plan I'm on doesn't cover the local hospital
7:10 pm
uusue2

I thought you just had a scan? Is that when you get the results?
7:10 pm
crosshair

i find that the doctors who can wear the oncology badge are all top shelf,so i would not worry
7:11 pm
crosshair

i get results on ct/blood/x-rays on june 11th
7:11 pm
uusue2

yes, I think it will be fine but wanted to wait until the current bout of chemo is done to switch - hence the timing of our wedding
7:11 pm
crosshair

have enlardged nodes in my right boob atm
7:11 pm

7:11 pm

i will be fine:)
7:12 pm

Frank had some swelling in his armpit a few weeks ago but it seems to have gone away - but every little thing is a cause for worry now -
7:13 pm
crosshair

please let me know the scan results for frank in 3-4 week,either here or in pm in fb.i am following you and want nothing but the best
7:13 pm

7:23 pm
crosshair

lighter
7:23 pm
uusue2

Yes, "aggressive" was how they described Frank's tumor as well, was good that we didn't wait any longer to get it taken out
7:23 pm
crosshair

indeed!
7:26 pm
crosshair

some people are embarrased by cancer.they hide it.feel like they failed or are shunned by the rest of society but i am to the point,in your face"this is nothing but a defective part of me that is only holding me back" attack kind of survivor.i pull zero punches
7:27 pm
uusue2

people have become much more open about cancer than they were when my mother got it 40 years ago - a good thing IMHO
7:27 pm
crosshair

i even vounteer on a cancer hot line run by our big cancer hospital.new cancer patrients can call it just for advice,to vent or whatever
7:27 pm
