HiDave,

 DD> I now seldom need to pick up the "rescue" guy.

 RH> i started with Advair back in 2001; it was a miracle worker for me.
 RH> Between that and a really good pulmonology doctor in HI, my once out of
 RH> control asthma got under control. But, like all things, needs change so
 RH> this past August I was put on Trelegy, one puff every morning. It took
 RH> a while, but now seems to be working quite well (except for the nasty
 RH> taste). I'll be seeing the pulmonology doctor in Raleigh on Thursday,

 DD> I started on the Advair Discus that required you to rinse your mouth
 DD> after each use Morning and evening. My housemate, Dennis, uses another
 DD> similar product then he gargles. When I hear him sounding like Dame
 DD> Nellie Melba tuning up for an operatic role I know he's taken pne of
 DD> his two daily doses.

But you know he's using it. When I had that stomach flu virus earlier
this month, I didn't take any of my usual meds for a couple of days.
Didn't really eat much either, just pushed liquids.



 RH> It would probably work well with flounder too; that's our fish of
 RH> choice for something like that. Salmon would be a bit too strongly
 RH> flavored on its own, overpowering the other flavors, IMO.

 DD> Get no argument from me on that. I've got a good fishmonger here and
 DD> use their reciipes/advice and seafood for many a happy meal.

We did, when we lived down on the coast. Don't have one here so we're
just going on prior knowledge.

 DD>      8<----- HACK ----->8


 DD> Actually it's not nearly as much a PITA as I had feared. And I get up
 DD> less during the night. As a guy I can make do with a 'workaround'
 DD> the BiPap has me on a six-foot leash.  Bv)=

 RH> Just don't toss and turn too much, getting wound up in it. (G) I've a
 RH> long hose for the concentrator (We keep it in the hallway to cut down
 RH> on bedroom noise.) so it is run over the top of the doorway, around the
 RH> back of a dresser and over to the bed. Still enough tubing I could (if
 RH> we had the space) move the machine elsewhere.

 DD> I'd go under the door as that would work better in my situation.

Each set up is unique to the situation. I'd really have some adjusting
to do if I were tethered to it 24/7--today I cut out another shirt for
Santa. That would have been a lot more difficult on a full time tether.


 DD> This recipe will soon be converted from "Archives"to "Kitchen"

 DD>       Title: Cod Almondine

 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

 DD>       2 c  Slivered almonds
 DD>       3 tb Olive oil; divided
 DD>       4    Cod filets; 6 - 8 oz ea
 DD>       1 c  Almond flour
 DD>       4 lg Eggs
 DD>            Salt & pepper

 RH> Easy enough, and looks yummy.

 DD> 'Twas - which is why I'll start making it on my own. Life is too short
 DD> to eat non-tasry food.

 DD> Here's a flounder thing I learned to make at Robert's Fish Market
 DD> cooking demo/classes.


 DD>       Title: Crab Meat Stuffed Flounder
 DD>  Categories: Seafood, Stuffing, Breads, Citrus
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

It does look good. Back when we were first married, one of the local
(Swansboro, NC) seafood restaurants did a crab stuffed shrimp. It was
one of their pricier menu items so we didn't get it very often--but it
was good--and well worth the price. That restaurant, as well as several
others in the area, no longer exist, sad because they were so good.
