As a reminder, or for new readers, here is how we eat: Pete is pescatarian 90% of the time. When he does eat meat (1-2x/mo.), it is organic and very lean, and never pork or poultry; the fish or seafood he eats (1-2x/wk.) is wild-caught. Most of what he eats is plant-based and organic/non-GMO. These are changes we made when he was diagnosed. His type of cancer thrives on certain foods that he doesn't eat now.

"The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer So in reading Keachfan's blog post yesterday I realized that there is a whole lot more to Advent than I had realized.

Today we went to Casey and Bill’s again, they had a 2nd turkey that needed to be cooked this weekend so they invited us to come and partake with them. (Bill made Pete an amazing heap of walleye and fried mushrooms since he can’t eat poultry.) What a great time we had, as always. Besides us and Casey’s family her BFF Sarah was there.
