yummmmmmm...apple pie.   I

yummmmmmm...apple pie.   I was just thinking of going to the orchard and buying an apple pie - they are really much better than I can make!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I feel making a turkey dinner now!

Check out Mags pies on her expressions page.  I love pie.  

Wish they would have gotten those results to you, but I'm betting you will have a lovely time despite the delay.  It's going to be good news, anyway...I'm confident!

I have to say, in defense of giant American birds, they can be done right.

I soak mine in a salt brine for a day, then air dry it for a day.  It's the best thing I've ever tasted...dark meat gets cooked through, and the white meat stays moist.

And I buy the biggest sucker I can find (around 25 pounds) because we usually have 25-30 guests (not because I am so popular, just haven't yet figured out how to expell actual blood relatives in my giant family) and everyone wants to have some leftovers to take home.

We should have a recipe thread closer to the holiday...I'd like to hear people's favorites!

Lots o' love~AA

Just wanted to wish you the best holiday and waiting to hear soon on your results from the MRI and praying for the best.  Hope your Thanksgiving was awesome.  I'm going to have a turkey next week, but it's not Thanksgiving yet, we just buy 4 a year and have them throughout the year.  The one I buy for Thanksgiving has to be at least 23 pounds.  Never had a wild turkey, but bet it was great.

Hugs!  Kim

Any news yet on the scan, Mags?

I'm still holding your hand here!

Hope it was a great holiday, peaceful and free of stress.

Happy Thanksgiving Mags......I've got my bird in the oven   ...... I have no clue why but cooking a turkey always makes me very nervous about how it's going to turn out!!!!!

collapse

so the scan was good and I am NED supposedly.  Remember how we tell one another to dance....after waiting for scan results rather than dance i find myself collapsing into bed in a state of total exhaustion. It takes me a few days to come back to reality....funny times....

so to recap....2005 colon operation.....stage 3B 2006 large liver resection for mets and then chemo and 2008 another liver resection and chemo again....but that gives me 5 years NED at Stage 4 with no hope of survival at one point.....

keep marching kids......hugs....mags

Great news Mags!

Excellent news, Mags!  I'm so happy for you.  I know what you mean about the post-results collapse...these lengthy waits can be so exhausting.  Hopefully you'll be up and dancing once you get a chance to catch your breath!

Lots o' love~AA

Excellent

That is wonderful news.  It takes me several days for me to decompress also.  It's like I'm so worked up over it that it takes me days for it to sink in and then stop worry about every little ache and pain.  After you decompress then go do the naked happy dance.

mags glad you made it(((hugs))).....Godbless...johnnybegood
