Wow, has it been three weeks since I last posted? Sad.
Here's a brief update:
My mother is doing much better. Looks like it wasn't cancer. That is such a relief!
I have a low-grade pneumonia. I've stopped feeling worse everyday and hopefully will start getting better.
And, the bad news, my son has been diagnosed with tuberculosis. He will be OK. He just needs to take medicine for six months.
This year is not started out how I'd hoped.

About Me
- James
- I'm an American transplanted into the rural Philippines. I went from Seattle, Washington to Tacloban, Leyte, Philippines. With the help of an air conditioner or two, I'm starting a new life here in my 40's.
One of the big challenges is adapting what I cook. And, with more difficulty, where I get my ingredients. Being from Seattle, I'm used to a wide array of cuisines and good restaurants to go with them. Here in Tacloban, things are a little different.
I want to make and learn to make well the foods that I enjoyed back in the States.
The problem? Limited ingredient availability. So, I start a new adventure, learning to make many things from scratch and growing many of my own herbs.
Should be fun.

Sorry to hear about all of the health woes in your family, James. Thoughts and prayers for you all. 2009 has had a tough beginning around here, too. Maybe the spring will be better for all!!
