Day 29 - January 18, 2011

Things are going really smooth here. Adrian is doing well, he is due to go to Dr. H to do blood work. (routine) and has been scheduled in the middle/end of March to do the CT, PET scans and the bone marrow biopsy @MD Anderson.

He has had a little bit of a sore throat the last week. It is hard to tell if it is allergies or not. I had it too and mine were allergies for sure. Austin is known for bringing out allergies in people. They say cedar is the worst at the moment.

He is not feeling anything else, flu or anything so hopefully it is allergies and will be gone soon. Otherwise the blood works will show different, I guess. But he feels fine. That is the main thing!

I went to a raw food cooking class on Saturday. It was very exciting. Sounds silly that a cooking class was exciting, but I do love to cook and create and the ideas here were very cool.

I cooked 3 dishes tonight and will keep on making them. It was spaghetti made of zucchini and a marinera sauce (vegetarian) and finished off with a chocolate mousse made of avocado, dates and organic cacao powder. Kids looooved the mousse :).... little did they know :)

Yet again it shows that the vitamix blender is a phenomenal tool in the kitchen! I made the sauce and the mousse with it.

The point with raw food is - nothing is heated above 105 F, IF at all. I didn't cook anything I made. This is so that none of the nutrients gets cooked away. Everything stays in the food.

Bonus is, it is really tasty.

Tomorrow it is creamy zucchini soup, cauliflower mash and grass fed beef on the menu! I will cook that beef though.
