I am back for now since I missed the intellectual stimulation provided by all of you (many of you are very bright indeed).
I will try to contribute to this wonderful forum (under the excellent stewardship of Jeff and “Popeye”) as much as I can, but not as prolific as before.
God bless all of you,
Mirage

Hola Amigo,...
Mirage
Glad to see you back. Are you still having trouble with your blood pressure ? Try to eat a lot of celery it helps you to lower the blood pressure.Since the doctor has asked me to eat healthier, I thought I would pass along some of my healthy recipes for all of you. Yes, I enjoy cooking especially on the grill or brick oven (I just built a new one from left over bricks). The funny thing is that my boys love salads (and grilled meat), especially the younger one, on those days that he decides to be a picky eater he will still eat his salad and ask for more, for some odd reason he really likes the onions and can’t get enough of them, then he goes for the avocado, next the mango and finally the arugula.
I use a red Fresno chili pepper for this salad to give it spice and color, but you can also use a milder pepper if you find chili peppers too hot, though once you remove the seeds and membranes they lose a lot of the heat, I debated using some crushed garlic instead, but I feel like I’ve been adding garlic to everything (seriously sometimes I feel like I can’t cook unless I use garlic, cumin or cilantro) so I’m taking a garlic break just for this salad. I like to use a little bit of creativity to keep salads interesting, a salad should be more than just a bowl of greens, I mean greens are good, but there are so many other additional ingredients and flavors that can be added to really make a salad stand out and have its own character.
Amigo if you establish Cooking Thread, I'll contribute with Ragu alla Bolognese alla Jura LOL... I enjoy cooking ...
Just a quick up date for folks regarding my condition.
I had surgery on my spine on June 15th and then was in the hospital for a week thereafter. It turned out being about an 8 hour operation to remove cancerous material and bone from some vertebrae that were beginning to invade my spinal chord.
That was a success.
Now that I have had a couple of weeks to recover form that, they are preparing me for some heavy radiation treatment. The simulation/modeling for that will be tomorrow, and then the actual treatments will be the week of the 11th of July.
If all of that goes well, we will head home to Idaho around July 16th.
I then will return to Houston in October for more radiation.
It's a long process, but these folks are doing all they can to treat my disease. I will put more details into the next update on my home page.
I will try and post a little more often as I can.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts, prayers, faith, and encouragement. It helps more than I can say.
