Scientists discover lung cancer's 'bodyguard system'—and how to disarm it (Kaempferol)

"The researchers also tested kaempferol, a natural compound found in vegetables like kale and broccoli. In laboratory models with drug-resistant human lung tumors, daily treatment with kaempferol significantly shrank tumors over 24 days. Crucially, the treatment targeted only the cancer cells carrying EGFR mutations while having no detectable effect on tumors with normal EGFR. "

We got a foot of snow, not terrible, but a bit of a mess for two neighbors who tried to venture out yesterday before the snow plows came. Our street is very deceiving. It’s a slight incline to get up the road. We walk it enough to know, but in normal weather, it just appears level. It’s not. So tires spun and people got stuck. With below zero temps, and even worse wind chills, it was not a good situation. However, they did have plenty of help.

Later the snow plows came, and our culdesac is pretty tight, so they always pile up the snow in someone’s driveway. Usually it is ours. This time it was our next door neighbor. This morning, hubby went out with his snowblower to work it from one angle. The neighbor called the city, who finally showed up with a bucket loader, and moved it to where it should be out of everyone’s way. I never understand why they block us in, but I guess visibility isn’t very good sometimes.

Yesterday I made a vegetable lasagne from scratch. It’s a bit of prep with all the chopping, but it sure is tasty and holds together well. Since there are only two of us, I offered a third of it to another neighbor who lives on the next street over. She is low key about it, but she doesn’t eat meat, though her husband does. We seem to do things for each other frequently, so this was my turn. A week ago she made some orange cranberry muffins, but was out of cranberries, and I still had some in my fridge. She is probably 12 or so years older than me, and it’s a good friendship.

Here’s the recipe if anyone wants to try it. I use a little bit less of the sugar, and added about a cup of red wine once it was settling in.
