YAY!

Allen has gone over a week without any headaches a just a little less than a week without having any "shadows", which for those of you who aren't familiar with the term, is almost a headache but not quite. So, things are looking good for his cycle to be over. He isn't in the clear yet, but at least it's on its very last leg. The melatonin he has been taking has helped.

Tonight I cooked spaghetti squash for Allen. It was the first time he can remember having it. We looked it up online tonight and it has a lot of nutritional value to it. One night we are going to make "spaghetti" with it instead of pasta noodles.

On our kitchen counter we have a kachiya persimmon ripening. Boy are we glad we googled it before we cut into it. It's really a beautiful fruit, the size of a peach and the color of a sunset, but one person online has described eating an upripe hachiya as one of the worst experiences of bitterness ever, that they are truly inedible until fully ripened. So, we wait. I have it sitting next to an apple. Somewhere I read that will make it ripen faster. We'll have to let you know how it tastes!

Love you all!
