It's always more work to eat at home than to eat out. The odd time I eat out I wish it to be something that is a lot of work to make at home. Or requires equipment that I don't have, like a pizza oven. Or strategies that are hard, like roti making. Or deep frying, because WTF does one do with all that oil/fat?

Did you do first year at Erindale before OT school?

Yes - I did. Erindale was smaller than many high schools at that time! Then I took a year off (worked in a large advertising agency which was so interesting!) & then did my 3 years of OT school for my degree. Graduated 42 years ago - with YOU P3! hard to believe it's been that long. And now I will retire on May 31. Sigh.
 
OTOH, I had a curried spinach/chicken thing (that came largely from my own head) tonight that was decidedly not north american...

@Kay - and that would be a dinner completely foreign to me...

Not exactly normal around here either. Hubby 'just happened' to have a chunk of roe and thought it would make a change. It did. we decided it was edible but wouldn't rush to have it again. We both love the potato dumplings - though they don't look particularly tempting.

I did my first year at the main campus and then went directly into OT school. I have been retired 5 years now which is another hard thing to believe!

So kind of your own version of saag (Indian name for spinach) chicken? We love saag chicken but my recipe book doesn't have it and I'm not a creative, from first principles kind of cook like you and my wife are. So, we only eat it the rare times we go out for Indian.

Last night, we had our own version of jambalaya. Basically, Little M really liked jambalaya when we stayed at Port Orleans, the Louisiana-themed resort at Disney in Florida, and we found we had a recipe for it in a cookbook someone gave us years ago so Mrs. M modified it to suit her tastes a little better (mostly by adding shrimp and squid rings, the original was chicken and sausage).
 
Yum to Jambalya and to Gumbo! The wind is howling and ice pellets/freezing rain is pelting against my windows today. Thinking of yummy food and baking is a good antidote to that.

Yesterday I made some gluten-free buckwheat sandwich bread in my breadmaker - new recipe, quite tasty & dense.

Feel free to stay in the room by the fire and stay safe. No ice storm here-just gentle rain-but the fire is going and tea, coffee and hot cider are available.

Actually thinking of switching to tea. Read on Twttr yesterday that coffee actually contributes to cancer.

Saw that. Look more widely. The finding conflicts with a lot of other research. It definitely needs more work but suggests that moderation is good in coffee is as in many other things.
 
WOW - 2.5 years post treatment already!! Where did that time go?? I imagine those visits never get too much easier. When you 'graduate' - does that mean an end to active surveillance visits?
 
Yup, diagnosis was summer 2015.

Anxiety is always up before going for appointment , and of course, every ache and pain become more attention seeking in ones head. Lol, there is no lack in someone who is post menopausal, obese, and had pelvic radiation. I am pretty good at being aware of it and managing.

When graduate, "get" to have yearly cervical exams from family doctor instead of driving to cancer clinic every 6 months.

I am not complaining. I am alive.

You shared a fair bit back then. Are you finding you still have physical effects from it all, or have those mostly gone with time?
