what a bummer!

Georgie,

If I can throw in my best wishes, and my proverbial two cents: unless you cannot walk, unless you are in such pain as makes you cry, unless you have no alternative, DO NOT opt for knee surgery--arthroscopic or otherwise.

Take it from one who has a floating knee cartilage and who has done a lot of homework after having had surgery recommended; it is not a great alternative in many, many cases.

Oh, and thanks for the book plug elsewhere on the board. One of the things about recipes, mine anyway, is that i hardly ever prepare them the same way. For instance, I have come up with what I think are better ways to make pasta and beans, yellow rice dishes, a great vegetarian risotto, and others--maybe I need to update the book!
