This dish is a favorite at the Old Spaghetti Factory , but kinda expensive. . You can reproduce this at home fairly easily and get “ exactly the same “ results as at Spaghetti Factory for way less cost.
You’ll need :
Spaghetti
Butter
Minced and chopped fresh garlic
Mixed Myzithra and romano grated cheese ( small tubs of each are available in local supermarkets )
fresh shiitake and cremini mushrooms.
Cook the spaghetti to “ al dente “ firmness … .
Brown the butter , swirling the pan, spooning off the foam and chunks
Sauté the sliced mushrooms ( equal parts of both kinds ) in minced - chopped garlic in butter, use more mushrooms than you expect you would need , they kinda disappear.
Put the spaghetti into a strainer in a bowl, pour on the brown butter, put in the mushrooms with the garlicized butter, and sprinkle in some 2 cheese blend and toss like a salad. Put it all in a bowl and pour on a little more of the browned butter + garlic butter and toss again. Sprinkle a lot more mixed cheese on top as a garnish.
Eat ……. Yummmmmmmmmm. Yummmmmmmmm pure food porn yayahahahaya. This dish is “ very “ rich to eat …. some buttered French bread a plus.
That’s it,

boy that baby boy choy is delish raw and cooked. It’s grown all over here on the Asian farms, I can get it right down my road. Doesn’t get any crispier - fresher than that.
Black bean muscles are one of the hammers mst favorite dishes of all time .. it’s served here at Lin’s fusion …It’s mouthwatering wonderful. Yummmmmmmm
I get all my veggies like bok choy , tomatoes, scallions etc. from the farm stands that line the roads around here. They have little wooden shacks next to their fields … that sell “ off the farm “ products, picked fresh that morning. prices super low ( no middlemen ) and super fresh. A lot of the veggies are seasonal tho. Got several stands within 2 miles of the house. Hmong farmers buy the vacant land and farm it. It’s worth touring these farms ( the growers are usually happy to show you around ) … you see veggies you’ve never seen or heard of before.
you think so ??? Not sure how many stage4 guys would read it there and be encouraged to try them. after all , the point being that it’s not really about the food, what ever it is, its “ all about “ QOL and doing things that are fun ( easy and delicious in this case ) ..to take croakers minds off “ things “ for a while.
If you think that food posts are inappropriate here , let me know and I’ll drop the QOL encouragement stuff ,and forget about it. This stuff brightens up my life a lot, I never considered that it wouldn’t do the same for other croakers. I don’t want guys here to be put off by this. That’s opposite what it’s intended to do.
IMHO, you should post here, to show the other men with Adv PCA, that you're still seizing the Day and posting about something that you Love = cooking and consuming.
No matter what we're are going thru, we still need to eat!! Our QoL posts show that we aren't obsessed with the numbers and we're doing other things that enliven us, that enrich our lives. It's not all about the d*mn PCa anymore, the greater purpose is to LIVE your life, despite the accursed PCa.
And as the old school commercial stated "You only go around once, Grab all the gusto that you can"
right on bruddha …. I totally agree. I’ve received , both of us , numerous compliments and thanks from others saying how much they liked this and thanking us for the posts. and I do preface most of my posts with QOL as being lifestyle posts. People that don’t like them can just skip over these. Maybe Darryl would chime in or pm me if he thinks these are inappropriate . Seems like QOL - lifestyle posts / actions enrich the group adding that bit of uplift … every little bit counts.
Yessiree, this is an open forum for us and if Admin thought it was inappropriate, they woulda taken it down. But, part of Living with PCa and the attendant ADT side effects is just going about your Life. It's more than your #s, life expectancy etc.
It is now about how can we live our best Life with the time that we have left.
actually they do have … at least a couple. 1 about healthy eating and recipes and another about gluten free food. Might be more. The foodie group has 56,000 posts and over 8,000 members. Who knew ….
yayahahahaya. Seems like my Lupron fog has caused stuff to fly right over my head lately. Seemed short and to his point tho.
I’m not really posting about healthy food or diets … my food posts are intended to post for food lust and do it yourself fun.
I’m kinda runnng out of good material anyway …. I’ve got a QOL trip back to the coast , first week of December ( hammers and myself Christmas present ) , should get some whale pics or maybe the Monterey Bay Aquarium shots … I’ve been a charter member there since it began, I can waltz into the “ no wait “ side entrance ( free and bring a friend , plus Hammer also has a charter member card that brings an additional guest free ) I’ve got that coming up …..It’s an easy trip for croakers with a huge positive personal QOL experience.
I’ve got one more food porn post left …. this one the maximum decadence kind with oysters on the half shell, slathered black caviar on top with black truffles and a orange ( acid offset ) slice….. about $50 a mouthful. extremely easy to prepare, if your wallet can handle it.
thanks Kim yayahahahaya. Seriously …. Like fightinghard said above …..I think it generally goes unsaid that in between the “ my psa is increasing “ , “ my husband is entering hospice today “ , “ I just turned castrate resistant “ etc.…. that a different post of something positive and distracting , on a lighter level …. Is good for all of us. Humor posts, QOL posts and foodie posts … they try to break that gloom, break that downer pall that we all feel.
Really it’s the important “ what’s next “ indispensable element of “ all this “ isn’t it . I’ve got my medical questions answered , my oncologist set up my new treatment …. I’m back home , my psa is dropping …. what’s next ? Next is moving ahead to take advantage of that little bit of extra time we just got …time to have some travel fun or maybe cooking hobby fun …spending time with loved ones … that’s what’s next. these posts address that “ what’s next “ element to a degree … Randy , myself and numerous others are trying to stimulate - encourage getting out and enjoying those “next “ times. Filling the “ what’s next “ with at least a little something distracting ( instead of lying on your couch every day ) … It probably isn’t “ all that “ …but its a try . Our time is precious…filling it with something upbeat / family is a good thing. Just say’in.
Oh, I totally agree with and thoroughly enjoy all of your posts!
Unfortunately, I also understand the other side of it as well, what my husband is going through, believe me, I get it! My way of dealing is usually with humor, hence my other older posts.
I was just acknowledging, in my humble opinion, I thought westof was totally joking and being lighthearted! I meant no ill will whatsoever, that's why I usually always end my posts with these emojis...peace, prayers, love and light...🕊️🙏❤️🕯️and I guess I need to start adding a smiley face on top of that! 😁😁😁
QOL, food, humor, all posts, bombs away, by all means! 🕊️🙏❤️🕯️😁
yayahahahaya yayahahahaya …. I feel like AJ ( westof ) and I are kinda old buddies , like with you ….. we’ve PMed over time. and like you, he’s really kewl imho, I have a lot of respect for what he says. and ……..of course words always have two meanings, I’ve always got a 50 - 50 chance of getting it right yayahahahaya. When he says “ my act should be on stage “ …… and next one leaves in 10 minutes, ….. I respect that from him. Even joking around usually has a basis in reality some place. A kind word for a dense guy that doesn’t get it ? Yayahahaha
Lots of people ( all of us probably ) here are , understandably, often sitting there shell shocked , rooted in their new grim reality. Probably the last thing they are thinking , in that moment , is upbeat recreational QOL activities. Everything about this disease sucks and is a downer.
So …… yayahahahaya ….it’s been so long ( since I started writing this ) …my Lupron fog has set in and I forget where I was going with all this. Bottom line is that I’m kewl man kewl … AJ is da bomb, everything is groovy ( until my meds wear off , at least yayahahahaya ) and I dearly appreciate you chiming in with your nice support.
I appreciate the posts here. I always enjoy spaghetti dishes that don't have tomato sauces, even before prostate Cancer I had lots of burning after eating tomatoes, tomato sauce, seeds and nuts. Seems worse after radical prostatectomy in 2017 and even more painful still after radiation and Eligard treatment this past summer. I am trying to enjoy life without worrying about my next PSA test or why do I have more pain in my hip and abdomen. Waiting for January appointment hoping Testosterone and PSA tests will be good. Thankful for this group.
this spaghetti dish should e right up your alley , it’s fun to fix because its so easy. the resulting dish makes you feel like A gourmet chef because of how delicious it is.
Im waiting for my next blood work panel the first of January as well. lol I’ll keep my fingers crossed that “ both “ of us can start up the new year with great numbers.
Both of us can and should dig into Christmas this year … and enjoy it to the most with family and friends , knowing that we are maintaining and having this opportunity. ( we won’t always ) I know that as rough as things are, it’s not “ all that “ considering…. this going into Christmas. I’ve had a couple “ bleak “ christmases lately …. this one is more upbeat for me. Feels pretty good.
Good to talk to you brother , hop on anytime … a lot of great guys and gals here to associate with when you need to , and the very best of medical knowledge and advice. We are lucky to have this resource …..
