All the holiday orphans, especially back in NYC, people that can't make it back to where their families are for the big feasts. Always is a great time.

Pickling, canning and making yogurt.

Greek Easter dinner.

Lots of shellfish, oysters, shrimp, and scallops.

Invited to a seder by a neighbor when I was 8, his mother emigrated from Israel after she met his father, an American Jew, on a kibbutz near Jerusalem. Braised lamb shanks, an aromatic rice dish, hummus, charoset with a bunch of dried fruits, and lots of herbs everywhere.

Jamaican Goat Curry.

Lasagna sheets made from sunchokes.

Doing backyard organic gardening. Joined a local farm co-op. Eating less and less meat. Buying as responsibly as possible. Sharing info/news of sustainable eating with family and friends.

My Ma finished her chemo a few months ago. I really empathise with all your emotions on this one.

Jello and jelly beans are good, some protein in there.

Don't use metal utensils to eat with. Something about the chemo treaments make metal taste extra sour on one's tongue and can cause appetite loss.

I've also been reading some medical articles that say they've proven in clinical trials that fish oil supplements stave off and reverse the thinning effects of chemo. You can Google "fish oil pills chemo" to pull up a dozen such articles. I wish I had seen those before my Ma started her treatment.

Good luck with your treatment.

Garden fresh tomatoes with garlic, olive oil and parmesan.

On garlic rubbed toasted bread with olive oil, shaved thin

Kraut, swiss and horseradish sauce.
