Wow; two funerals in one week. My husband's best friend lost his dad on Thursday, and a college friend of mine lost her dad to ALS the same day. We were in Kentucky the last couple of days fir the former's visitation and funeral and the latter's services are tomorrow and Wednesday. It's a sad week.

Yeah, although neither of these men were what I would call "old." One was 67. He survived esophogeal cancer a number if years ago, so he was a tough man. But he contracted a series of infections in his lungs that he just couldn't kick. The second was 71. ALS is an awful way to lose a loved one.

With all the talk of healthful food and diet on TE, I feel a little ashamed in sharing this, but share I will. I made an authentic Bolognese Ragu for the first time yesterday, and it was obscenely good. It took about 4 1/2 (if not more) hours total between prep and cook time, but it was worth it. DH agreed. I can't wait for the leftovers....
