Geri,
Quesadillas are not much more than grilled cheese sandwiches; inside the ones I made today there is nothing Mexican other than the name of the cheese -- which easily could be monteray (sp) jack.
Top them with your avocado, either sliced or made into guacamole; many people eat them this way. By the way, the Hatch chiles I mentioned are NOT hot or particularly spicy like jalapenos but have a nice flavor. Not all mexican uses jalapenos, thankfully, as I don't do well with them myself. You are more likely to find cumin in it - which I also am not the greatest fan of, or cilantro (looks like parsley) which I definitely am fond of.
My appointment with the ENT specialist at UVA resulted in a surgery appointment for April 15. It will be particularly extensive and a bit frightening for me, as residents will be participating in the operation - no real choice at a teaching hospital, but the head surgeon is at least 60, highly regarded nationally and very well experienced. He has explained all possible complications. Some of these can be quite serious but he advises his own record is better than those events and has been studied for the "extra" steps he takes to prevent problems. Likely will spend 2 nights in hospital, more if parathyroids are damaged thereby affecting my calcium balances, and that's why I would be likely to stay longer. Yet, I feel quite confident if a bit anxious.
Thank you for asking.
