Ive been wondering how you were making out. Glad to hear you are doing so well.

A pressure cooker is a great tool to cook meats and veggies in. They not only cook very quickly but the juices are sealed in making it much easier for OC survivors to eat. Your animal crackers might taste better next week or next month, never know how that will go. until you hit your 2 year post rads mark, dont rule out any foods you dont like anymore. Your sense of taste will still improve quite alot for the next year and a half.

Watch out for rice too. That tends to stick for almost all OC patients. Ive tried it several times (guess I never learn) and almost choked to death on it.

Best wishes with your continued recovery.
