Some markers are harder than others. A decade ago, on Valentine’s Day, Globfly was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. On St. Patty’s Day, he had his first 10-hour surgery to remove his thyroids and many cancerous lymph nodes. After that, it was in and out of the hospital until it ended on 12/17/18 when nothing remained fixable in his body.

Every 17th, I honor Globfly’s memory with a favorite sweet treat of his. I thought I’d do something different for his 27th Month Angelversary because the other day, I reminisced Globfly spending the day in surgery, and he couldn’t eat all day—I choked up. I decided I would make a meal that he would’ve wanted to eat. What to make? Here’s a funny story. Every time I asked what he wanted to eat, he’d tell me one of two answers. So, Globfly, your wish is my command. We have Salisbury Steak in your honor. It’s not the same without you here, but it will have to do. I miss you dearly, still! ILYVVVVM! 💜🖖👊

February marks Valentine’s Day, Globfly’s 26th month Angelversary today, and later in the month, Globfly’s birthday. February is the shortest month, but it is the most challenging month next to December with these markers.

On each month’s Angelversary, I select a favorite food to honor Globfly’s memory as my way of coping. Today, I chose a slice of Strawberry Soft Cream Cheese Cake from Paris Baguette to keep the LOVE theme, coloring the month red in Globfly’s memory. 

If you are near a Paris Baguette, perhaps you might like to join me in this delicate treat. Here’s to you, Globfly, you may be in heaven now, but you’re not forgotten. ILYVVVVVVM! 💜🖖

Today, on Globfly’s 25th month Angelversary, I am honoring his memory with one of his all-time favorite desserts—lemon meringue pie.

Tidbit: I lived a sheltered life before Globfly, the foodie, came into my world and nudged me onto the more adventurous culinary path. I ate for survival, not for enjoyment. Globfly was the opposite. Me? A bowl of ramen soup was the broth and noodles. Globfly? The works with veggies and protein. I hadn’t noticed lemon meringue pies until Globfly introduced us. I miss you, Globfly, more than words can say!

On the 17th of each month, I honor Globfly’s Angelversary with one of his favorite foods. This month, I combined two of his favorites – cheesecake with homemade berry sauce. Globfly, ILYF 💜🖖👊

Hard to believe it’s been 20 months today since Globfly journeyed to heaven. In a way, it feels like forever ago. At the same time, it feels like yesterday. This month, I am honoring Globfly’s memory with another of his favorites—Strawberry Shortcake.

If you asked him what kind of cake he wanted, he’d more likely answer, “Strawberry,” and if strawberry shortcake is on the menu, you can bet on it that he’d order that.

Globfly, you may be in heaven now, but you’re not forgotten. ILYVVVVVVM! 💜
