Day 11 of Fast - Back to the Kitchen Area

Today I weighed in at 127.5 lbs. Sadly no dreams of eating :-(

Today we finished up with 19 pints of the red sauce. I DID taste it and I DID swallow. No guilt here. Maybe a slight heartburn though :-). It was of course yummy. I love the way chipotle doesn't burn where it touches, it waits for a moment then hits the back of the throat lightly. We will be sharing some with our host and splitting the rest amongst my family. I am so excited to have a nice winter stock in my food storage.

Tomorrow we will make a coconut squash soup for a potluck our host is having. We won't be eating of course, but we will contribute. Then we will can the remainder. I think we will take a day off after that - maybe... I want to figure out how to make raw crackers for me. And I am sure Dad will come up with more things he wants too.

I apologize to those that feel I have not responded to calls or emails. I really don't spend much time on the computer of phone. I do read all the blog comments though.

I realize that I have not spoken of any changes to my cancer either. That is because there has been nothing noteworthy yet. The ones I can feel may have gotten slightly larger since being diagnosed, but it could also be perception and less fat around them. They don't hurt so there is no increase/decrease in pain either. I am very happy to state though that my older bother Deon who came here to fast for relief of his (very) high blood pressure measured 3 times today to find it near normal. He has been having a very rough time so far with very low energy and numerous vomitting spells. We are all SO relieved at this news and hope the trend continues.
