RE: Judy scallops

[Guest guest]

Judy- Thankyou for that recipe, as sounds really good, and my hubsband loves

pasta of any kind. I also use that smart butter, we love it, and to get my

husband to like anything other than real fatty margerine, alot of salt, and

junk, he has come along way, as I have got him to enjoy the smart butter, garlic

powder instead of salt, and real garlic when cooking. I have the bigger

scallops here, so will probably have to cut them for the shells huh? Can I ask

u what they are charging u for the scallops down there now? My husband has been

getting 9.00 a lb for his off the boat, but they aren't bay. Again thanks for

the tip and that is a easy fixing meal something I need.

Take Care Sharon in Me. My husband and son also love ice fishing.

To make things even more confusing, I used to live in New Hampshire. in

Wolfeboro. I spent a lot of time in Portsmouth going to some of the clubs

(in my younger days) and taking some college classes. I used to work in

Rochester.

Dear Sharon,

no, I live in RI like Tigger. I live in Newport and the town on the opposite

end of the island is Portsmouth.My brother in law use to be a lobstermen. I

know a lot of the fishermen and lobstermen here because my husband is about

5th generation. When my husband retires he plans on fishing more. One of my

grandsons whould rather be fishing than breathing and my son and his kids go

fishing at lest once a weak from spring through fall. One of my nephews also

loves fishing. He usualy goes to Maine once a year with his boyscout troop

to go ice fishing. My daughter use to win the childrens fishing derby ny

dad's gun club put on every year. She would usualyy win in more than one

catagory.

I had a recipe from the store. I had to adjust it because we don't do

cottage cheese. Marti does so she might like it. This time I had bay

scollops. I drained them and coated them with seasoned breadcrumbs. then I

sauted them in smart one(margarine) with a little garlic. I don't like to

over power the scollops. while the large shells were boiling. After ther

cooked about 5minutes I stiffed them in the drained shellsand topped with a

little mazzarella and tossed them in the microwave fore a couple of seconds

to melt the cheese. my family ljked them but next time I'll bake them for a

few minutes instead of putting them in the microwave. I didn't have to stand

for very long. I added a tossed salad from one of those bags and added a few

veggies to it. We use the salad spritzers or fat free dressings. Once in a

while , I have my favorite poppy seed dressing but the calories are high.

Are you in NH,as u mentioned Portsmith. Well I am in ME., and you are so

lucky you did not get this snow, and stopped yesterday, my husband shoveled

the loooong driveway, woke to more on the ground. Now saying another storm

next wk., which sounds right, as I am due to go to my Dr's appts made for

the 4th time, in Ma. and have had to cancel do to this tiring snow. I also

saw that you after having to drag around to the stores, I am sorry as it is

no fun, when so painfull, but I see you said you are going to make stuffed

scallop shells?!, this sounded so good I wanted to know how they are done?

My husband is a scalloper goes down out of New Bedford all summer, and up

here in Maine in winters, but this is one thing I am not good at cooking

seafood, as a kid, I never liked it so never learned how to cook it right or

how, and what different ways. So thought you may tell me how these shells

are

> done, and sometime when I can stand the kitchen duty again, I could fix

these for my very patient, husband who has been doing everything without a

complaint, only wants me to feel better, but I really want to take some of

this off of him if I can just get to cook one meal or do something around

here. Thanks for any ideas. Hope your better today Sharon

husband because I was tired of hearing him whine. When we finished i was in

so much pain and then he decided we needed to go to Wallyworld for a few

items we get there that are cheaper. Well suprise suprise suprise, I

couldn't even think of going in there even tough there were some things I

wanted to get. When we got home he had his temper tantrum because I couldn't

put things away and needed to sit and take my muscle relaxers. My daughter

and husband put the groceries away and I warmed up the deli food because it

had gotten cold. He apoligised and after I ate I took a nap. I was suppose

to make dinner but I was out of it from the muscle relaxers. He tried to

wake me to maqke dinner but

salad and added some coctail shrip that was on sale. Oh well I'll make the

scollop stuffed shell for dinner tomarrow.

> I think that you having the class on Tuesday is probab ly about the best

it could be. It gives you from Friday until Tuesday to recover from

treatment. then the next day it begins again after you have class. Just

remember that the 2 important things or your class and treatment and let

other things slide if you need to.

> I was reading that you fly. To bad money is an issue. In the spring/

summer you could have flown into Newport and you , Tigger and i could have

met for Lunch. my husband retires Sept 1 so maybe the end of August or Sept

we can meet somewhere. I can only drive to about Portsmouth before fatigue

sets in.

> How has this crazy weather been treating you. We didn't get any snow that

I am aware of. The rain started before midnight so if there was any it was

washed away. The rain was pretty heavy so I would sleep then it would wake

me.

in Aspergers Syndrome and was offered a job that could be part time and on

my own schedule. From a place where the director actually knows I have fibro

and believes in it. For those of you who don't know me, I'm fast going broke

and will be soon and don't know what will happen. So if I could bring in

some money it would be a lifesaver. Now I'm not sure, but hope to have the

energy to take the class on Tuesday mornings. Pray for me please, if you are

one who does.

Sarcoidosis has started flaring up again. It has been pretty much under

control with taking Prednisone, but my eye doctor has had me weaning myself

off of it. I got down to 10mg a day and started flaring. All my symptoms

started coming back. After chemo Thursday, I went to my Sarcoid doctor

(pulmonologist).He had me take a PFT and I didn't do so well and also need

more oxygen in my blood. The nodules have come back on my lymph nodes and my

joints and throat - I'm back to the raspy voice. I have started the fever at

night and the sweats, even though it is 18 outside. I'm really disappointed

about this, because before the chemo and weaning off Pred, that part of my

life was getting under control, except for the side effects of Pred.

me that they don't " believe " in Fibromyalgia. How can you just not believe

in it? It seems to me like saying you don't believe in politics. They think

the symptoms could all be sarcoid, except for the brain fog, which I don't

think they believe happens for either reason. I tried Thursday to explain a

little to him and (he's an older man - 70's?) he patted me on my knee and

looked at me kindly and said " maybe you have some anxiety. " I wanted to

punch him!
