Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,606 Likes: 2 | Two weeks after radiation I tried some Ragu and spaghetti and I expected the sauce to burn but it didn't. I was so surprised and glad to find something that went down easy so I started eating 2 then 3 times a day. I used the plain stuff and even tried about 5 different flavors but the plain worked the best. Sour cream, yogurt, mashed potatoes, fruit, everything just burned like the dickens. I still have several large jars of the sauce left and I went through a mountain of them from October to January.
