200th post!!

Anniversary time. First off, this is the 200th post I've made to this blog. I first started blogging in March of 2003, but I found I really didn't have much to say. Also, Justin was pretty much the only one reading it. In May of 2004, I decided to give it another try, and although what I post here often isn't of any importance, it's still a handy way to keep in touch with friends and relatives. When I was going through cancer treatments, it was invaluable in keeping everyone informed on my progress.

Speaking of which, today, July 25th, is also the anniversary of my last radiation treatment. But it wasn't until October 25th that I felt truly relieved, as that was my first post-treatment CAT Scan, which showed freedom from progression.

I'm not sure how else to celebrate my 200th blog post, so umm... well, here's a list of foods and drinks I like:

• Grounds for Thought coffee from Bowling Green -- Other shops probably have good stuff too, but this coffee Schutze brought to the cottage was quite possibly the best I'd ever had. Really.
  
  
• Mike's Hard Crisp Apple -- A new flavor from the makers of Mike's Hard Lemonade. Tastes a little bit Jolly Rancher, a little bit cider. Nice, light flavor like Mike's Hard Lime.
  
  
• Strawberry milk. No qualification needed. I had some the other day for the first time in years.
  
  
• Fletcher's Fabulous Lemonade -- Taken from the children's book Something Queer at the Lemonade Stand (yes that's really the title) by Elizabeth Levy. This is the recipe my mom uses, and it's great. The mint leaves really do add to the flavor.
  
  
• Wendy's Roasted Turkey & Basil Pesto Frescata sandwich -- A nice change of pace from greasy fast food, yet still one-hand-while-driving edible.
  
  
• Panera Bread's Tuscan Chicken Sandwich -- I mentioned this one before, but it bears repeating. As Teen Girl Squad would say, "Soooooooo good!"
  
  
• Subway's Tuscan Chicken Sub -- Not as good as Panera, but still one of the better Subway offerings, I'd say on par with the awesome Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. However, I was not a fan of the new Bourbon Chicken sub.
  
  
• Speaking of which, J.J. BBQ in the Midway Mall food court has really good Bourbon Chicken. I really like the sauce, and it's served with white or fried rice and a choice of side for $4.00, I think. I get the glazed orange carrots for the side, which are also tasty. Considering it's a fast-service food court option, it's a delicious deal at a low price. The only catch is that I always feel like an ethnocentric bigot because I have trouble understanding the server through her accent.

Hmm, I'm seeing a trend... Maybe "Tuscan" has become the new lime for me?
