Deep into the Corners

In Cancer World the docs are always on a hunt into the recesses of the body for lingering cells. 

They look in the bone marrow, the spinal fluid, the testicles (if applicable).  They are always looking.  They say that cells hang out there and must be tracked down. 

Now Leukemia is not like solid tumors, stray cells don't float around, attach and then find a new place to land and grow.  The cells they find are just evidence that somewhere in the bone marrow, a cell is being bad. 

In Mary-Elizabeth's case the sleeper cells did not show themselves for more than 7 years.  They were shot down and suppressed and waited.  Waited and Waited and then one day they came out to play. 

 I have theories.  Stress, potato chips, bad school food. Lack of diligence, too much diligence.  Cosmic rays, too much fresh air, not enough fresh air. Too many pesticides, not enough pesticides.  It is all a mystery. 

I guess cancer is sort of like a hornet's nest.  It secretly grows in the Rhododendrons in your back yard until one sunny day when you are sitting on the back porch of Carolynn Baker's house and a raccoon climbs up and decides hornet larva would be a great afternoon snack. 

Well I have not been very diligent at my house, especially in the kitchen.  Now that "school" has started, I feel the need to return to the kitchen and really cook.  When I turned around today this is what I found. 

Oopsss.....  Kitchen Faeries are on Restriction until we find the corner.
