Hurrah! We've got power! Finally, after 5 days without electricity, we
have been reconnected. I certainly have a new appreciation for my
dishwasher, washer/dryer, hotwater and all those things I take for granted.
We had a marvelous time while Bill and Debra were here. Bill helped me dish up some incredible salads using some of his homemade dressings.
I don't think I can ever go back to store bought dressings after this.
My favorite, which is just made right on the salad itself, is a concoction of olive oil to lightly coat greens, a splash of Balsamic Vinegar, and then Braggs Amino acid to taste. You may not have heard of Braggs Amino Acid but it is available in the health food section of most grocery stores. It is a natural salt substitute with a great flavor.
I highly recommend Bill's other book, Blind Courage, that tells the breathtaking story of his Appalacian trail hike. Just imagine what it would be like to be blind, hiking with only your seeing eye dog and hearing and smelling some large animal in front of you as your dog freezes at your side in fright. You will have to read the book to find out what happens.....
It is availble on his website http://www.billirwin.com/
Tomorrow, Sam goes for his bone scan to see if the cancer is contained in the prostate. We are hopeful that it is. We will hear the results on friday. Till tomorrow...........
