yummm. Mike is at the grill with steak tenderloin. Hard to say which I prefer. beef or pork
Play hookey,and tropical gardening in the greenhouse!
Yep,I had grilled some rib eyes last night,they were delicious also,but so were these pork chops!!
When ever the weather is 50* above I grill outside,sorry Chrissy,got to have my meat and potatoes!!!
Grilled food is good for you TM! Just cut back on the fats. Lolabelle, our baby chi celebrated her 1st b'day last weekend. Kel grilled her favorite Milkbone and a 3oz sirloin burger!!!
TM, no tonsils for me. They got so severely infected they came out in what was a new sugery back then called ears, nose and throat surgery. lol. I don't miss them. :~)
Oh Heaven that little fat on the steak or pork chops is what makes the taste so good!!!
I cut back on it,but it still hangs on my belly!!!LOL
Pep.do you get less colds now?
What time should we be over for diner? Looks scrumptious!
I've got my tonsils and I plan on keeping them! I don't know what they are for, but I am sure I couldn't yodel without them.
Yeah, that grilled fat also sent me to the hospital!
G'nite TM. Rest your eyes.
~~Jaye
They yodel in Hawaii?? Nite all!
Heaven,did you get choked,or like me 2 heart attacks and a 5 by pass!!!
I don't eat it all the time,but the Dr. said moderation,moderation,so I do every other time!!!
BH,too late we ate them already and gave the bones to spike and yummy the cockatoos!
Man they love them bones!!!!
BH you also yodel?
Now would that be as in Country music yodel as in the Cattle call by Eddie Arnold?
Or one of the blonde hair Switzerland's yodeler from top of the alps!l LOL
Swiss ones LOL! It helps when the coconut wireless is down and I have to tell Frank to pick up milk on the way home.
TM, I don't think it matters one way or another about the colds. I used to get colds all the time when I worked at other job still but now that I am outside I only get the sniffles cause it is so darn cold!!! LOL.
Ahh TM, 5 bypass here, and today I'm off for my "maintenance" check-up! Stay warm y'all.
Will be praying for your good health. All of you.
Christi
Were with you heaven,and I'm off for the diabetic Dr,this morning,been fasting all night!
Need my coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!! FoooD!!!!!!!!
Wow guys all those health problems! our doctors are jumping up and down about the "trans fats" this is found in "hard fats"
I won't rave on ( I am sure you have googled it already) but you need to be a little careful.
TM you asked about our children becoming overweight ,well they are also found to have hardening of the Arteries and diabetes in record breaking numbers. The Doctors are saying Coca Cola and fast food are to blame.I think from what I have seen with my own grandchildren is ...the two football players are very lean and my darling computer loving grandson who plays no sport, is not fat but unfit compared to his active brothers.My grandaughter has been working in an office for two years and gained 2 stone. she now has started a walking routine and the weight is coming off again.
So from what I figure is that if you work very hard ...the weight is most likely not a big issue (of course genetics do come into it also)
As a child I remember only one overweight child in my whole school experience.We all walked every where ...played sport at school 3 times a week and did not know what take away food was.
We did not have TV (another culprit) and played outside until it got dark. Life has changed.
As we get older our motor slows down and requires less
fuel. So now we have health problems. In many ways I think we have swapped good health for convenience.
Me I won't give up my conveniences or my computer. What is the answer?
As you said moderation :) and balance.
And plenty of gardening! ha ha ha
chrissy
Chrissy...I am indeed guilty of not watching what I eat!
You know Asians' main diet comprise of greens and fish. Since I moved here, I am influenced by red meat, gooey pizzas and crispy fried chicken! None to blame but myself. Funny thing is I am not seriously overweight.
So when I was rushed to the hospital, the diagnosis surprised me and the specialists! Being an Asian, my arteries are extremely narrow. So years of abuse led me to a 5 bypass and diabetes as well.
So, back to Asian diet, no sodas and no sedentary lifestyle!
Thank you Christi for your prayers. Was wondering who's whispering in my ears at the doctor's office!
My dearest, sweetest niece in all the world has been type 1 since she was under 6 years old. She is now 31 and lots of complications. Par for the course. For the last three years she has been loosing her eyesight and is now legally blind. Chronic problems with her kidneys. Neuropathy in her feet and legs. In spite of it all, she is a professional songstress. Performs at highclass nightclubs as a torch singer all over the DFW metroplex. Never one time asked *why me*. Has a strong faith and has settled with the fact she will never have children. She has been my inspiration for these 25 years. I am always, always aware that no amount of money in the entire world will fix her problems. Therefore, if the problems I have for myself can be cured with money, I have no problem. My mother was and my MIL is diabetic. Very familiar with the problems it presents every hour on the hour. I have much empathy for those who are living with this.
Oh h when we were designed by our maker there were no Supermarkets, fridges, cupboards full of temptation, cafes ,take aways etc.
There was the garden of eden and that was it! Like I said things have changed :)
Bless all who are unwell take care of yourselves ...good luck at the Docs.
chrissy
LOUC!
Could I talk you into running over at Sonny Bryan's Barbecue,and get me a couple sandwiches for now and a slab or 2 of ribs for tonite!!!!LOL
We have the same last name,I wonder if were related????
Maybe a discount!!!!
Or Maybe open up across the street,with Donny Bryan's Barbecue!!!! LOL
Heaven like you I'm not overweight as so to speak,weighed to today at the DR. Office
Whopping 200lbs of solid muscle!!!! LOL
Spent the last hour trying to get a bird out of the greenhouse,must stayed in there yesterday,when I had the doors open ,because it was like spring yesterday,back to winter today 34*,and windy!!!!!! Cold!!!Brrr
Still don't know whether he got out or not,but lost all the heat inside with the doors open trying to shoo him out!!!!
He probably thought too cold for me to go outside!!!LOL
I took the water hose.turned it to mist,to get him out,but I think he like a little bath!!!LOL
Look back at our spring time!
I had the good fortune of growing up in the land of Red Bryan's Smokehouse, Sonny's dad. Mike's parents had a business just two doors from RBS. It is legendary in these here parts. Poor Sonny left us a few years ago...lung cancer linked to two packs a day. His main bbq shack is just that. Not hardly 400 sq ft in an industrial part of Big D. Lots of little franchises out now but not the same. My Mike can make the meanest ribs you ever ate. He occassionaly does catering. Next time he does ribs, just might talk him into some dry ice shipping. Oh, he uses lots of honey and brown sugar....thats probably a secret...don't tell anyone.
Thanks,but the secrets been out for years!!!
Been using it as well,,I'm not much on the dry rub,but they use it a lot back east
I like the moisture taste not the dry tasting barbecue,and not a lot of spices either!
Juicy barbecue,ain't nothing better!!!
And if you ain't getting it all over you,then you ain't enjoying it!!!LOL
Lick those fingers!!!LOL
hmmmm, finger lickin good....doesn't that belong to another food item!!!! LOL
It's all good to me! They have some good bbq here in Houston as well!!!
Love it!
It's vinegar base bbq here....so...that's one food item I don't have to be forced to leave out of my food list.
Love Houston's bbq, especially briskets!
So far my favorite bbq is Kansas City Masterpeice. I like others too but really can't think of them. Mostly restaurant ones that aren't for sale. lol
Yeah, Heaven, the briskets here are very good!!! There are several good BBQ Houses / Restaurants and even "Shacks" that really know how to do them Right!!!!
They are so good!!!!!!!!
Texas and the KC area are world renowned for their BBQ. i love both bbqs. lol
Is KC Masterpeice, from your area Pepper? If so, I like too! LOL
Pepper,I believe there is a charlie Bryant BBQ thats really popular up there!
If my memory serves me right that was really good back in the 60's
not sure if he's in business anymore!
If you were to take bbq out of DH life, he would deem it not worth living. hahaha More the joy of cooking it and the aromas that go with it than his actually eating it. We don't eat anyone's bbq but his and have many friends that now declare they are ruined to eating out. Wish we could share.
Me too!!!!
Weather report Freezing rain this morning,ice everywhere,30*
But warm and toasty inside the greenhouses,looks like this naty weather will be sticking around for the next few days.
Pepper looks like you may get 3 inches of snow today!
So, Chrissy, what's Australian bbq like? Had you ever tasted 'roo? What's the strangest thing y'all ever bbq?
When my ex decided to do a bbq, it would be me that would be purchasing the meat, marinade and prepare all the side items. On bbq day, he'd be donning his apron, wielding his bbq-ware and doing his magic on the grill. Oh well, of course he reaped all the praises! We even had alligator tail once on the grill!!!
Y'all could have the snow...cold enough here too!
Oh you guys, 6.45 in the morning and I am starving hungry! Perhaps Mike will do some of his famous ribs for us Christi?
Heaven it got close to you yesterday,in Virgina!
Seems you all get bad weather right before spring each year,hopefully you'll be spared this year,but If I recall you all do need the moisture!
Morning BH,
Just toast and jelly here,with orange juice and coffee,for breakfast ,and trying to decide what I would like for lunch!!!
Don't remind me of that late freeze we got this year, TMan! Right before spring and so many killed in my garden. The local nurseries took a beating!
I apologise that I have nothing spectacular to show off...unless you haven't seen Portadoras :=D
Love to see them,and anything else thats green,all white and icy here this am!
Are Portadoras a type elephant ear? I would love to see them too! Ilove to see other peoples gardens and plants, wish I could do half as well as some of you..
So sorry some of you are getting cold weather in. Now is the time to sit by the fire with the new gardening catalogs and dream about next year.
Morning TM, lunch now, you say...Oh man! *stomach growling*
11:24 am,getting close to lunch,will it be ham or turkey,or both on my sandwich!
yes Portadoras Alocasia.
I have to search on line for my dream seeds and plants,and buy accordingly!!!
Well weather permitting!!!LOL
