Tell them it can't be a Ferrari unless its red. Lol. Glad your first session is done and dusted. You got this mate, no wukkas.

Get some plastic cutlery for eating... or wooden. I know when I did radiation keeping the calories up was hard and using metal utensils made it harder because it tasted crap. Also, if you can, drink protein water or shakes. Being tired and sometimes food not tasting the best makes eating not a priority but protein drinks and water are a great way to boost your protein. Protein is vital for healing.

Watching this space... ready to start experimenting.

You have got this mate. You're attitude and approach is half the battle. Your openess is an inspiration and lesson to us all. You have people from one and of the world to the other sending thoughts and prayers your way for a quick and easy battle.

Dinner with the kid... Greek herb marinate lamb steaks (portobello mushies for me), mash with nutritional yeast, honey carrots and spinach with lemon myrtle and macadamia nuts. I made a gravy from the pan juices for the kid.

@Cbdave ..... alas I only have a lidless woke. But this can be rectified.

@Cbdave ..... need to get me a Webber. Smoked tofu, smoked barra, oh I recon i could do smoked prawns. Also thanks for the tip about yhe spray of water to melt the vegan cheese. fantastic hack.

I use flaked nutritional yeast as a parmasan substitute. Being dairy free I really miss cheese. Your smoked cheese looks great. I know its processed but you can get salt reduced FO Soup mix. I get one that's gluten free and just herbs, no salt from this organic herb lady at farmers market.

@Cbdave .... ah but the way I got taught, skip the S&P and add packet French onion soup mix.... you will thank me. I do mine without the cheese. Works great in the air fryer too.

Have the kid over for dinner.... by special request Mac n Cheese with bacon and prawns (shrimp) and Brazilian Garlic Bread. Used macadam milk for the sauce, then split it and added vegan cheese to mine and real to hers.. only she had bacon. Breadcrumbs and bread was gluten free but her pasta wasn't. Great cold night comfort food for watching 10 Things IvHate About You.

Send prayers out for only good news here Reci.

Still living life with diet restrictions .... but smashed this Ginger, lemongrass & chilli stir fried tofu with brown rice and quinoa after work tonight.
