Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Here is one I tried about 1:30 this morning while waiting for my computer to end the system restore. I was thinking of food, so I mixed up about1/2 of a soup bowl with pancke batter, then put about 2 tablespoons of Skippy Creamy peanut butter into the microwave to melt it. Mixed them together and fried the best pancake I have had. Put lots of butter and spread a small amount of syrup on the top. This one is worth trying for sure.

Wow - sounds great, especially to someone who has not been able to eat even one bite of food since February. Enjoy those pancakes brother.

Not half as many troubles as you have endured brother. If the cancer had not come back, my story would have been more like Lance Armstrong positive, but since it did come back, I am trying to be more Christopher Reeves like in optimism. Reading about your indomitable spirit helps me keep it all in perspective. Finally, I feel blessed and lucky in having a world class caregiver. You and Christine are doing the hero & heroine act on your own for the most part - so please don't feel bad for me. In the end, I have it quite good.

I put it all on a plate (@home) then poured my "cream sauce" over the entire thing, then added a little Thousand Island dressing. (cream sauce:Melt butter in small sauce pan add flour, mustard and milk or water). Feel a little guilty for eating any McDonald's, but it was a treat for just a change !
BOT T3N2M0 No surgery, 38radiation treatments,4 chemo rounds, peg removed 11/08, still have a port. Treatments ended 6/20/08. So far, so Good ! "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much !"

I bet that was like a gormet meal to you tho.Keep up the good work. CHARM, I agree you must have a world class caregiver and she is a hero too just like you. You are an inspiration.
