Memorial Day Weekend

Here it is Friday again another week down,though it was not without its moments.It was a stressful week at work and frustrating at home.I finally got approval for my new gene therapy approved by my insurance company,it only took three weeks and countless phone calls.The most frustrating part is they refused to ship it out without pre payment,enough of the Debbie downer.
  On a lighter and brighter note I'm looking forward to having may special friends Miriam &Chester Regen who are visiting the East Coast to deal with some family business .I can't wait to host them for Shabbat so to say the least I have been busy cooking and baking.
So here is my Shabbat menu,Friday night  home baked  Pugliese loaves,wild mushroom soup,tachina,roasted asparagus ,sautéed beet greens,sweet and sour meatballs almond rice,grilled orange ginger chicken
For Shabbat lunch,eggs &onions,mock crab salad, purple slaw,summer millet salad,grilled corn on the cob,chicken roast.
Wishing all my friends and family a great holiday weekend ,&ya/Shabbat shalom!

Another week down

The week started out on such a positive note .I had such a lovely Mother's Day I received flowers and an e-card from my kids in Israel,Motti and I worked on the front law and with help from Josh File helped do our bucket garden.A very productive week at work but stressful in its own way.
    But on a really positive note I did start excersizing again and have gotten back on my treadmill startng out slowly but back up to an hour workout,feels good.Like everyone else I'mfrustrated with my insurance company.My oncologist added another BRAF blocking drug,and they denied payment for the drug,amazing it's not like he is adding this drug for the hell of it.But it's being straightened out.Looking forward to my Shabbat in Elizabeth with the Millers,after a busy day getting my MRI,skyping either my kids,laundry and back on my treadmill,baking a Gluten free Carrot cake and tachina
