Savory Saturday

Saturday, April 25, 2009
Since Jim has the entire MatSu Valley's knickers in a twist over a dead moose and the little barbarians who killed him, and Eric has cracked himself up over the pompous grandstanding of the RNC, then I guess I'll have to blog today about cooking.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, my aunt has been diagnosed with cancer, and I've decided that cooking meals for her and her family is one of the ways in which I will support her during her treatment. So I put out a call for recipes, and my in-box (and snail-mail) filled up in a hurry with the recommendations of friends and family. You guys rock.

One piece of good news - her oncologist says the cancer hasn't spread! So she'll have one series of treatments, and then it will be a "wait and see" scenario. I'll take that bit of good news. Yes, yes I will.



Last night I made chicken tortilla casserole, and today I'll be making chicken noodle soup, Mexican lasagna*, and blackberry jam. I figure I'll bring over two casseroles and one soup a week (if their freezer can take it) until she's feeling strong again.


*Made with real Mexicans! Okay, not really. It's made with lasagna noodles and Mexican chickens.
