Princess Sylvie had a great day yesterday.This feisty 2 1/2 year-old is the daughter of our blogger, Audra Hughes, famous for The Boob Chronicles. Sylvie was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer on February 11, 2009. She is going through chemotherapy and may need surgery. The good news is that the doctors tell Audra and husband, Michael, that this cancer can be cured!You can follow Sylvie’s progress on her blog, Princess Sylvie.  On the most recent post, Audra reports, the chemo is working:  Sylvie’s tumors are shrinking and her lymph nodes are normal so the cancer is not spreading. YAY!  I hope you’ll join me in sending  positive thoughts and prayers to Audra, Michael and most of all, Sylvie. I’m counting on a “happily ever after” ending to this Princess’ story.

I belong to a moms’ group and one of the members is an amazing artist (www.happytomatokids.com). She is also a meat maven, pork princess, lamb lover, veal vixen, hamburger helper and a chicken champ. She stalks follows famous chefs and all of their culinary creations. We are the Laverne and Shirley, the Odd Couple, the Charlotte and Samantha, or the Homer and Ned Flanders of the great meat debate. We discovered our dueling blogs (hers is www.happyhoarfrost.com) through a mutual friend. Turns out, my meat-loving friend just ate her with f-f-f-fava beans. You’ll have to look up the term hoarfrost on your own. I can assure you it only sounds naughty.
