that the average lifespan has increased by over a decade
in our lifetimes, there's some plausibility to some of
the crowing. But consider: who wants to live past 100
anyway?

The man who was our primary care doc for a decade or two once told me
that he hoped to have a patient survive to 100. At that point he did

I wonder if that patient made it to 100.

have one who was 96. But then our Doc died in his 60s (third bout of cancer).

Cancer knows no such rules. As you know, my sister
ate right, didn't smoke or drink or do drugs, and did
regular strenuous exercise, but it got her anyway.

Title: Bigos

If you'd had that dish in Wisconsin, would that
have been Oshkosh bigos?

Categories: Polish, Sausagest, Leftover
Yield: 1 Servings

4 oz Can mushrooms
2 lb Sauerkraut
1 20-ounce can tomatoes
1 Bay leaf
1 c Coarsely chopped bacon
1/4 c Water
1 lg Apple, cored, sliced
5 Peppercorns
2 c Diced Polish sausage

Soak the mushrooms in 1/4 cup water for 2 hours. Bring to boil and
simmer for 1/2 hour. Slice.

That's a terrible thing to do with mushrooms,
almost as bad as canning them in the first place.
I'm guessing that there was an uncredited
original that called for dried porcini.

Wash the sauerkraut and sqeeze it. Add mushrooms and the liquid in
which they were cooked. Add the apples, the tomatoes, peppercorns and
bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add the meat
and the bacon. Simmer 1 hour longer.

Many versions use a mix of fresh cabbage
and sauerkraut.

Not yet anyhow. He'd be under the care of another primary now, with at
least two or three years to go.

And in addition, being slim and pretty -- not it's relevant. My oldest half-brother died of cancer at age 85 or so. It was his third case,
each being ten years apart.

Yes -- and an author also. We once had a cookbook he published. Not
sure if it is still here buried in some safe place. He also had been a
writer for some outdoor magazines and for the Baltimore Sun newspaper.

is dealer's choice :-}}
