Jarrod from Rosemont Market had a surprise for me when I came to the store on Saturday....two lamb tenderloins, a favorite cut of Peter's, as a "welcome home from the hospital" present!
I marinated the lamb in olive oil flavored with rosemary, sage, thyme and garlic and then flash fried it in a very hot cast iron skillet.
With it we had freshly shelled fava beans, carrots sauteed with spring garlic and rice with cubed fresh turmeric root.
This morning we walked down to the Brighton Clinic for a blood draw and later got the good news that Peter's values climbed to new heights.
We take at least two walks every day, each a little longer every time we venture out. Steady progress......
Over dinner tonight we listened to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong singing love songs, the songs we listened to when we met.

Dear Jutta, when you finish getting Peter back on his feet, have you thought of opening a restaurant? We'd like a window table, please...
Dear Peter, I can barely begin to imagine how amazing it must feel after the hospital experience to be back at home and sitting out on the deck. Enjoy the wonders of spring! Love, Joan and David
I love reading your posts! :) Obwohl wir so fern sind, kommt es mir vor, als ob wir Opa's Heilungsprozess hautnah miterleben dürften..
Schön zu hören, dass Opa 2-3 Wochen zu Hause verbringen darf. Lieber Opa, denke fest an Dich und schicke dir all meine Kraft.
Much love and hugs to you both!
Dear Peter and Jutta
I have been away and unable to write in, but I read every single post with such great joy and celebration. I'm so happy for you both that you have this time at home. Love is the most powerful medicine there is and you definitely have that overflowing.
And I send you both mine, overflowing.

Spring is on its way! Very pleased to hear that Peter's results keep improving with each test. And so glad to hear that Peter has a good appetite. How can he not with all those wonderful things going on in the kitchen and with the generosity of your good friends!
Love,
Monica and Gregg
Jutta and Peter,
Steve and Paul from Cambridge here.
Lucian gave me your various addresses but this blog seems like a good way to share our love with you both and be a part of this journey.
Lamb Tenderloin!!! It doesn't get much better than that. But a meal never so well deserved!
Please know that we are with you in Sprit 150%. I know you have the strength and capacity - individually and as a pair - to make it through ALL this and come out the other side.
As well cared for as you are up there, please let us know if there is anything we can do from Boston. Anything at all.
We'll be checking in regularly. Meanwhile much love to you both,
Steve & Paul
What sun and how great to see you sitting there on your deck! I love the reflection of the plate in your sunglasses too.
We hope your numbers continue to climb and recover. And that your strength increases daily with the warmth and love surrounding you.
Ally
