So I'm sitting out on the deck loooking at the woods behind my condo, trying not to spill my gin & tonic on the keyboard as I unwind. This has been a week I would not wish on anyone (well, at least anyone I like). Never again will I laugh at the phrase "it's not brain surgery." It was. Twice in 36 hours. And today, miraculously, my mother is sitting up in a chair looking at the boats on the Hudson from her hotel - uh - hospital -- room, and complaining about the food.
I don't blame her. Disgusting. Get this: the doctors and nurses encourage the families to bring in food from outside so that the patients will want to eat

It sounds like your mom has great bouce back-ability...I wish that she continue toward a full recovery very soon and you hangeth in and take care of yourself, too.
Best wishes to your mom for a speedy and full recovery. Hey, I have some of those kabob skewers that my husband brought back fro Turkey - exactly 39 years ago. He was a grad student at Penn State and had a summer conference there. I was at home sufering from morning and all day sickness - pregnant with my son! You have stirred up quite a memory for me. Look forward to seeing you create again!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for both your mom and you...it really is draining.
Glad your mom is doing so well. It's always such a relief.
Ironically, we had the memorial "Celebration of Life" for my life-long best friend's mom last night. She used to make baba ghanouj, koosa, and yubrak, and gave me my copy of *The Art of Syrian Cookery" many years ago. Rose was Polish but learned to cook family favorites from her late husband's mother (born in Lebanon). WHat I wouldn't give for one more day sitting around the kitchen with Rose and Tara rolling grapeleaves....
