That's encouraging! It would be interesting to know what nutraceuticals he is taking.

Interesting!

I gave that cookbook to my DIL for Christmas….I should have photographed some recipes first! Your stew will be divine!

Your beef stew is much like mine. I looked up Zip Sauce and found this article that makes me want to go to Michigan and sample the special foods there: Just Add Butter: What the Heck Is Michigan Zip Sauce? So my question is, do you actually add butter to Zip Sauce?

Thanks for this excellent post, Auntie C.

Otto, I bolded part of your second sentence. An ischemic stroke affects the brain, not the heart, so I'm not sure why you used that wording. Can you clarify?

I'm very sorry if my posts have driven you away from this thread! Please don't leave!

On a possibly more pleasant note, we are having Dungeness crab for dinner. DH grew up in Oregon and introduced me to this delicious type of crab. Time for me to go fix dinner!

I can imagine this as a cartoon!

I"m glad to hear your PT and home exercises are working so well to relieve the hip pain!

I wonder why Niner in Latvia can get the Moderna bivalent shot (yay, @Niner!) and Otto in Canada can't! This seems nuts. Otto, will you get the Pfizer one (or did you already)?

Good news about the bivalent booster (BBM below): https://erictopol.substack.com/p/the-bivalent-vaccine-booster-outperforms Eric Topol 5 hr ago You may recall that I was a skeptic about the bivalent BA.5 vaccine when the FDA gave it the OK to roll out in September without any human data. At...

I'm so sorry. Sending hugs and hoping things improve soon...

A friend gave us a loaf of chocolate babka--awesome! As a child, I was very picky about food. For example, I wouldn't eat tapioca pudding because it looked like mouse eyeballs to me. I think the reason for that was I'd seen my cat eat a mouse, which I thought was disgusting.

Thank you! I have almost always had extended periods of coughing following respiratory infections since childhood. Eventually I figured out that the coughing was a form of asthma. I'd go to bed and start coughing, and there were no inhalers back then. I still have a problem with coughing along...
