Tagine is a wonderful dish when done properly and it’s a pretty serving dish at any point. But real tagine means cooking everything together with the lid acting as a sealant. You have to be trusting that you cooked everything long enough.

Dissatisfied with my doctor at my last check up I switched to Keith's doctor whom he raves about. I barely mentioned half of what I told my previous doctor about my symptoms and he asked all the right questions, then told me what he wanted done. He didn't ask if I wanted a referral or offer a second appointment to discuss my stomach issues. He ordered the cancer test, as he should have since I was overdue for one, and set up a referral with a specialist to discuss an endoscopic ultrasound. Maybe I will have one, maybe not but at least my doctor is listening & concerned.

I also had some good news today. It seems, at least according to my blood work, that I do not have peritoneal cancer.

Very good news!!

Thanks. I am very relieved.

Very glad for your good news, DR Jane, and that you've found good medical care.

Thanks, DR John G. Was just wondering if it's a cooking method for all varieties of dishes, or if it's mainly one kind of thing that you'd cook in that pot.

There's another kind of vessel too, I think, made out of clay. You soak it in water for a long time, then put it in a hot oven and it steams the food inside. Probably totally unrelated to a tagine.

Thanks. I liked my doctor well enough until this last appointment. I felt like she was giving me third degree without really listening to me.

While we were in Astoria I received a text from a long time friend saying she needed to talk to me. Fortunately we were on our way back to the hotel for a shot break and I could call her. I never know if calls like this or good news or sad news about a mutual school friend. This time is was good news

She also wanted an easy vegetarian recipe for the wedding shower of her soon to be daughter in-law who is a vegetarian. I just sent three recipes, including mushroom cutlets from the first vegetarian meal she ever served us.

Sounds like an Asian hot pot.

I would Google tagine recipes or uses of a tagine. BTW, if you have a Thousand Villages store in your town, that would be the best place to look for a tagine. The prices there on tagines are far better than, say, Sur la Table or Williams-Sonoma. They're also handmade and look better.

Had a lovely torta tonight for dinner with carne asada and plenty of avocado in it.

I have started to watch The Secret Lives of Dentists with Campbell Scott and Hope Davis. It's based on a Jane Smiley novel, The Age of Grief, that I haven't read. I like it, but it's also depressing. I think I'm going to pass on finishing it up tonight and concentrate on the rest of my Maigret novel.

After work, I went to Fred Meyer with the intent on getting some diet Pepsi.

George · « **Reply #112 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:24:18 PM »

They, and quite a few other brands and flavors, are on sale.

George · « **Reply #113 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:24:50 PM »

You can get four 12-packs for only $11.00!

George · « **Reply #114 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:25:12 PM »

HOWEVER, they were out of diet Pepsi. P

George · « **Reply #115 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:26:34 PM »

So, I just walked around and bought some yogurt that was on sale, and some chips and queso, and a few other things, none of which I otherwise had any intention of buying.

George · « **Reply #116 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:28:09 PM »

Since I still wanted the diet Pepsi, I went next door to Costco and got their 30-pack for $10.49 and a case of protein shakes.

Then I came home and have read a couple of chapters of my book (Woken Furies, book 3 in the Takeshi Kovacs series by Richard K. Morgan) on my Kindle.

And now, I'm going to take a little nap...just because.

George · « **Reply #119 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:31:26 PM »

But before I do, it's time for the...
