I saw my cancer surgeon on Thursday, Dr. Kenyon, he’s awesome. When he removed my tumor, he took 5 tissue samples from the area, they all came back with no trace of cancer. Which means, he got it all during the surgery. I can’t convey how happy I am, absolutely elated. It’s been an incredible 17 months, and I want to send my thanks and love to all the readers of this blog who sent me love and good wishes. Your notes of encouragement were very important to me.
And how did I celebrate? My favorite meal, ribs, wings and rice. Normally I love adding corn but I’ve been avoiding corn for obvious reasons. And the wine I celebrated with. An Italian Ripasso by Sartori. You all know I love a Ripasso and this one is priced at $27 and so delicious. The ribs I had cooked the evening before, when I grilled burgers for a couple of my co-workers. I’m reintroducing beef to my diet, because it didn’t agree with me when I first got out of the hospital.
The celebrations continued last night with friends, wine and karaoke.
I even got up and did a number with my friend Raymond. We did a duet, I’m definitely not the best singer, but it’s all in good fun. We have a good building, I’ve been here 12 years and we do a lot of fun things together.
Now I have to tell you about a new find that is a spectacular value.
This is Hax Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile. Look at that gorgeous color, and it’s priced under $15 a bottle. Not a typo. $14.99 Beautiful well-structured full-bodied Cabernet and the tannins are just perfect, in my opinion. Not too strong but a great mouth feel. I had a glass before karaoke last night, but this is also a perfect BBQ wine.
You’ve heard of hangry (angry because you’re hungry), now there’s wangry! You have my permission to use this word.
Thank you so much to all of you for reading my blogs. I know they haven’t been consistent this year, but I appreciate everyone that has followed me on my journey.
