Excerpt from "Boston Med"

Tonight I was watching (on Slingbox) an episode I recorded a while ago from Boston Med.   It was the final episode of the season, and at the end there were little interviews with some of the doctors who had appeared on the show.  Imagine my surprise when I heard this one (watch the video above).  Josh and I got a really good laugh out of it.  In case it's hard to hear, he is saying what the basic surgical tenets are.  At the end, he says "and don't f*** with a pancreas."

Today Josh was feeling a little better so we made a little road trip.  We went to the movies, although we saw separate ones.  He saw The Expendables, and I saw Going the Distance.  My movie got out first, so I walked over to the mall that it's in.  I took this picture for my sister Janie and Olivia Jane and anyone else who loves See's Candies.

Not only was there See's Candies, but this is the SECOND mall in Minnesota where I've seen them.  For anyone who doesn't know, they make the most delicious chocolate lollipops, among other things.  Why are the malls so much bigger and better in Minnesota??

I've had a lot of questions about the brisket Janie sent.  Yes, she made everything, including the challah (well, except the gefilte fish).  She sent it on dry ice.  The brisket was still frozen when it got here.  Amazing.  Anyhow, I went to make dinner.  First thing I realized was that I had no suitable baking pan, so I switched to the microwave.  I had picked up a box of pilaf rice and started to make that.  No measuring cup, and I needed to add 1 3/4 cups of water.  So Josh and I got resourceful.  We found a 12 oz bottle of Coke Zero, washed it out, figured out the conversion, and used it to measure.  (Of course, later I found the measuring cup....)  The dinner was delicious, and Josh wants Aunt Janie to know that her challah in particular was fabulous!

Josh and I talked at dinner about 9/11.  It is hard to believe it has been 9 years.  I am sure we all remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard about it.  We will never forget.

Four more days of waiting, and then we're there.

BTW, we love all your comments and emails.  Keep 'em coming!
