iron ta!

for the first time in over 3 years my iron count was high enough to give blood the very first time! not borderline, no extra tests, no rejection!

recipe?

mini wheats + multi-vitamin + spinach salad + chili + homemade chinese beef stew = iron ta!

of course i did cut my finger with the bagel knife immediately afterwards to the great amusement of the red cross staff. was asked if i wanted to keep giving blood all day... heh. i got a bagel, a t-shirt, and i sold 10 candy bars for the leukemia and lymphoma society. not bad for a friday morn.
