Bye for a bit...

[firechef]

I am sorry to say I am going to be away for a bit. My health is becoming an issue. Due to my current health issues the additional problems I have discovered are even more compounding. I am scheduled to return to work in a little more than a week and now my health may prevent that from happening as well.

I may be going into the hospital for treatments after an appointment on Monday. After the ultra-sound I will know more and will know if surgery alone will take care of the new ailment. Due to the private nature of the situation I am not going to share with all here. I will check in as often as I can and hope all have fun without me...is that possible???

I hope to find great recipes and great friends waiting for me upon my return. I will thank you all now for the thoughts and prayers that I know will be headed my way...face it, I know you guys and know that is what is going to happen. Best wishes and happy cooking to all...
