New Year dinners
Made my husbands birthday dinner...fillet, corn on the cob, shrimp and crab legs. Ice box cake for dessert probably tomorrow since we are stuffed!
Mmm
happy b-day to hubby!
just as the news about Paula Deen came out, another friend just went on meds for it...told her to change her diet and you won't need the meds and another friend taking easy way out and getting gastric bypass...I KNOW for a fact she has not been trying at all to lose weight the normal way, she just graduated college and has been on that fast food type diet for years.....have you been exercising? no! have you been eating healthy? no!....I don't think doctors to should be allowed to perform these operations unless it's last resort and even then I'm leery of it, my friend died last year from a side effect(I guess you call it) from the surgery she had years before
I agree. A cousin of mine just had the surgery. I know a couple who had the surgery. They are both still very heavy.
I used to watch the reality TV show Ruby before I cut back on my cable. She made the point that over-eating is the one addiction where you can't just say no to the drug.
The gastric bypass often helps with diabetes because of the particular piece of the intestines that is removed. However the result may not be permanent.
As I always turn things back to cats - cats can have total spontaneous remission from diabetes, usually after a change of diet to what now is called "species appropriate" food. That is no grains and as much meat as possible. So no buns on those mouse burgers for my crew!
Yankee - a cat-type Atkins!
Hope your DH had a great birthday, Ronnie......A woman at my church had the stomach bypass surgery....she's now very thin, BUT has been hospitalized several times for serious problems....
Latest concoction from the "What's Cooking CT Shoreline" cookbook:
Garlic shrimp with Plum Tomatoes and Pesto over Pappardelle
Veggie and Salad
Linda Leone's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies for dessert.
It all sounds delish, Don......here it will be linguine and meatballs with a salad.....
Taking kids out, my daughter's choice since she got student of the week
Congrats!
German restaurant...oh man they had this pork special....cooked all day with carrots and onions in a tomato based light sauce....pork just fell right off the bone...sooooooo good over German egg noodles(which my daughter had with butter) those are the most amazing noodles EVER
We love this place!!!! only about 8 tables, owners come out and visit with you
Well was happy with egg salad sandwich UNTIL. I read about that german meal.
Wish Jen could be a bit more descriptive.
;0). She does do a great job. Maybe a second career writing food reviews or menus
Oh, yum, Jen....love German food.....I usually get to one in May because it's near Hollandia Nursery, where my cousins, brother, SIL & I spend a few bucks.....it, too, is small, but the weinerschnizel...yum!
LOL
Making Kale, White Bean and Emmer Farro soup for lunches this week. Turned out really yummy with a little cheese sprinkled on the top.
Baked ham, pineapple, baked tater, steamed asparagus, buttermilk biscuits and caramel/apple cake for dessert.
Whoa...sounds yummy......made pork cutlets with red onion, caper, and porcini mushroom sauce, applesauce, butternut squash...sister brought salad & cookies.....
All sounds good, my 4 year old niece told her mom asparagus is her favorite vegetable.
I bought jarred butternut squash sauce that I used over pasta that was really good.
So lazy today, just snacked
we had baked penne at a local pizza place....not good......it had a meat (chop) sauce and I think the marinara would have been better. The cheese was way salty too. I sure do miss NY - the pizza places fall way short here. Had the 2 yr old granddaughter and I knew she would eat there. And figured I could slip her some pasta too. Two baked pasta and one kids chicken finger plate (with a glass of milk) it was $31 and change before the tip. So expensive for bad food.
Tonight I will make peas and macaroni - quick and a good soupy dish for a junky foggy day.
I wish I had fresh broccoli or cauliflower - I'd make the ditali soup with either instead of the peas.
Hope you all had a jim dandy weekend. Cleaned out the attic --not fun ---but feel good now that it is done. This week the two goals are collect the stuff for taxes (MY WORST THING TO DO) and then the stuff for wageworks the health care reimbursement paperwork. I'd rather have a colonoscopy --- 24 hours of misery and then done for a bunch of years.
why do the health care reimbursement folks issue cards??????? you can 'pay' at the doc or dentist with a card.......but sure as it rains in Seattle ...they will write back saying 'denied' and send paperwork to support. Well......isn't the fact that it is a medical office submitting the claim enough support that the expense was medical!!!!! I guess this griping should go under 'things that make you go hmmmmmmmm'
hey! we should do a new one "things that drive you crazy"
Rosie, when living in FL for the winter, the lack of decent pizza & Italian food really bugged me.....the ditalini soup sounds good...foggy here, too!
tuna steaks for the adults, fish sticks for the kids tonight
Spanish rice with gandules.
Baked chicken, red beans & rice, coleslaw, apple turnovers. (im craving apples lately, wrong time of the year!!)
Meatloaf, mashed, corn and brussel sprouts.
baked chicken, baked potato and corn tonight.
I just read today if you picked the last apples of the season they can be stored without rotting till February...I just found some organic apples from the US at the store today, I was very excited
Sore throat getting started today, so the best-patient-ever gets:
***Knoblauchcremesuppe
***Caesar salad
With a double shot of garlic lovin', I suspect I'll at least enjoy being cranky for the next day or two.
Oh, forgot: 2010 P.K.N.T. Silver Collection Sauvignon Blanc for the pairing. Zippy, acidic, citrusy, mmmm.
Not bad, VV. I'll have to get sick!
Feel better.
It's all about the caretaker - who, by the way, just got called back into the lab to do a cross-match. Such is life.
What type of lab?
ditalini soup or ditali soup goes well with chicken or veggie like broccoli. escarole, cauliflower, poor mans soup.
Very large veterinary hospital (primarily thoroughbred horses)...
Hate to think of what might be on the menu at that hospital.
Hay! What do you mean by that...
Having intimate experience with such things, the clients are strict vegetarians. Whole grains, lots of roughage, and the like. Lots and lots of water, too - no sugary beverages.
Edited to add emphasis...
