2. Happy Lunar New Year

Had Dim Sum with a friend for lunch. Was excellent. I don’t have leftovers but went to the milk bread bakery next door and got some ham and cheese rolls and a sticky rice pudding pie (special treat today made for one person) for later. Will snack on those during my shift.

3. One of AL's favorites

fish sticks

I prefer a regular piece of fish (cod, haddock or salmon) but I think AL enjoys the nostalgia of fish sticks

tots and buttered beets on the side

Birthday pie for dessert (AL turned 70 yesterday). It's a "Razzleberry" pie.

Got GREAT news from his surgeon today... his PSA number--one month out from surgery--are TERRIFIC. Pre-surgery he was at 19 (which is not good at all) and this week he's at 0.02.

They will continue to monitor every 3 months over the next few years.

Doc says that the rest of his recovery is very much in line w/ what he would expect. AL is frustrated w/ his progress, but doc says that healing takes time.

Referral to physical therapist who specializes in the pelvic area. This should help w/ some of the post-op unpleasantness.

5. I was thinking of you today

and wondering if the reason we hadn't heard much from you was that you were caring for Al.

I am so happy to hear about the positive results!

6. His healing process is messing w/ his good humor

which is messing w/ my good humor. lol

4. Leftover cornbread and beans with pan fried potatoes.

Small salad with poppy seed dressing.

Good Evening

7. Broccoli "Beef" and Mixed Veggie Stir-fry

Steam-fried in sesame oil and veggie broth: chopped red onion, celery, carrots, red bell pepper and minced garlic. Add broccoli florets and sliced mushrooms. Add air-fried Beyond Steak pieces and mix with sesame garlic sauce. Serve over brown rice. Garnish with chopped scallions. Happy Lunar New Year! 🥂

8. Stir fry with duck and cabbage

Went out for dinner last week for my birthday, and brought home the leftover duck. So I'm stir-frying it with onions, Napa cabbage, and black bean sauce, to go with the last (I hope) of the Chinese takeout from Monday.
