Hi itstarted,

Welcome back. You certainly seem in good shape mentally for Stage 4. I have MS so I have a few scars in my brain, too. I went blind in a quarter of my visual field for a couple of weeks, but my brain rewired. My only lasting defects seems to be the correct vowels to use in ambiguous words, and a pretty complete inability to recall Natalie Portman's name! Funny the things you lose. Almost entertaining.

Along the lines of your "meatless" interest, I just saw that my local supermarket has Beyond Meat patties for making burgers. Only problem is they cost $14 per pound! They come in two patty packages so you can try them for just $7 to see if they are any good. But for less than $14 per pound I can get grass-fed beef, Angus, or Bison.
