Some days I have such good luck. Like the day I won a Thermapen in a giveaway at nwafoodie. This is a first class food blog, and I have followed Lyndi for several years. When I saw she was giving away a Thermapen, my reaction was “wow, where do I sign up?”. I’ve bought Thermapens as gifts, and I have heard all about what a great products they are.
I wanted one.
And then the Thermapen arrived in the mail. MY THERMAPEN. I was beyond excited. This thermometer gives an accurate 3 second reading. I have other thermometers in my kitchen drawer, but none of this caliber. I couldn’t wait to try it out. A roast? Grilled chicken? Steak? It’s perfect for all those things and more. Friends who know me well, though, would not be surprised to learn that the very first thing I used my Thermapen to measure was the temperature of water to proof my yeast for baking bread. I loved getting an immediate reading that I could trust.

So sorry to hear the bad news, I wish you a very speedy full recovery!
As for the thermapen, I asked Santa to bring one this year, glad to hear yours has been working well!
Please take care:@)

Good Morning Anita,
I have just placed you on my prayer list and that is where you will stay until you let us know that your treatment is complete. You hang in there girl it gets a little rough at times but it will be behind you before you know it. In 1998 I was diagnosed with stage 3 Breast Cancer, had the surgery and all the treatment. I am grateful to say I have been Cancer Free ever since. It is awesome to be a survivor and you will be too!!
Hugs!
Miz Helen

Oh Anita, I'm so sorry, but am thankful that your breast cancer is treatable. I will be praying for you and I appreciate you letting us know and updating us. Take care, my friend. Love and hugs are sent to you!

Love and hugs are just what I need, Kitty! Thank you for your positive words. I am looking forward to getting radiation finished. The dr said to expect 7 weeks, 5 days a week. That's going to cut into my play time!
Andi says

Thank you so much for thinking of me, Andi! I need all the positive thoughts you can send. I dread the radiation, but I know it will pass quickly.

Hi Marsha, I know what you mean about getting behind in visiting around to all the blogs. There are so many I want to keep up with, but unfortunately I have to cook and do laundry sometimes. Thank you for your prayers, it means a lot to me. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
