Sorry......

I fed the kids with my world famoue home made lasagne last night. As usual, not a scrap left!

The little beasties! So sick of turkey, we took a break and ordered pizza last night. Back to turkey tonight.

Homemade meatball subs with alot of sharp provolone , good , good

Last night I made a chicken curry with couscous. Haven't done that in a long time. Came out quite palatable.

Tonight I'm leaning toward a pasta carbonara, but my mind's not 100% made up yet.

Decisions, decisions...

Signor V.

12 oz Buffalo Steak Medium with onions,mushrooms, garlic saut. in olive oil ground pepper sea salt. And a nice garden salad. With a nice glass of Red Wine.

Ya want me to send ya a steak by Fedups !

Thanks, but we have steaks here in Joisey. I'm actually drooling for one, so it won't be long now!

My husband and I decided to go vegetarian for the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We decided to do it as a cleansing, plus our cholesterol is on the rise. My husband's is still over 200, even on Lipitor.

Did you get a breakdown (HDL/LDL Ratio)? That's more important than the total. My last total about a month ago was 211. But my HDL was great (57, should be over 39), and my LDL was good (83, should be less than 99). My VLDL, however, was high (71, should be 40 or less). Didn't even know that was added to the test -- so now it's THREE numbers that combine for total cholesterol! (Sheesh, before they added that third one, mine would've been only 140! lol)

So it's important to know how it breaks down so you know what to concentrate on. "Total cholesterol" is about as useful as knowing your BMI (i.e., doesn't tell you much).

But good for you on the veg diet -- not sure I could do it myself, but I really should at least try it a couple/few times a week just for health/weight. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Tonight i will be rustling up a nice Cajun chicken with assorted roasted veggies. First time i have done it but i know it's going to be tasty

I have had a problem with this matter most of life. Been on all kinds of medications, finally my doc told me to take a 1,000 mg. fish oil capsure a day and that has helped out with cholesterol, and triglyerides alot.

Yogi,
Sounds mighty good what time ya want me to fly in

JG, he's had high cholesterol ever since he started testing it when he was only in his 20s. ALL his numbers are bad, except his triglycerides. And they've been slowly but steadily raising his Lipitor dose over the years.

So far, it's not bad, but it's only the third day.

My triglycerides are pretty damn high, but that's probably from the drinking -- I've been cutting back a bit on that, too...

If your triglycerides are high they say you should get alot of excercise so you go out and start running and then get hit by a fricken truck . Stick with the drinking it will take longer and you will have more fun.

I have been fat and I have been thin, I have worked out and ran 16 miles a day now my damm knees are shot . Used to smoke 3 packs of Camels a day. Alot of folks say I don't look my age which is 61 years young. In my brain I feel like a young man, in my body different story. I move slow any more but hell why should I move fast I don't run any more , that thar will get ya . I might walk fast -to- a fight but will never run from nothing. and never will. I enjoy my food, booze, etc. I only go to the Dr. when I abouslatly need to . That right thar solves alot of people's problems you go into to those guys and damm every fricken time they give you bad news. WTF Get more money out of ya !

So tonight I am having Linguine and Clam Sauce, Salad, Italian bread, with olive oil and White Wine . If the snow comes , might even eat by candle light and blow up my doll.

Tell you what Frosty. It was damn delicious as well. Spicy and lovely, definitely one to make again

Yogi, my mouth is a watering . Do you just get a whole chicken, or use piece's ?

Used a whole chicken Frosty. Bought a pck of Cajun rub and used half of that with olive oil rubbed into the bird. Then the other half of rub and oil went into the roasting tray with roast potatoes, red peppers, white and red onions and garlic. Delicious mate

Thanks Yogi, I have to try that, and soon we are going to get some more snow and cold weather this weekend so it will hit the spot. YUMMMM

Quite possible

SC you come up with some of the best. Doesn't seem like the bird get it done. But with what he ate and my BQ Ribs , it is a done deal on my side.

Staying strictly to the "no meat" diet, but we decided to include seafood. We went to this place last night. Four of us shared the individual Sicilian salad, and it was more than enough. I had the shrimp francese, and it was out of this world. Our friends each had the chicken piccata and my husband had the shrimp parm. The portions were so large that we had no room for dessert!

Tonight I'm making New England Clam Chowder for dinner.

SB I could not do the no meat thing, good thing you did add the seafood. Is there any place you can get Buffalo, or wild meat , it has to be cooked slower but deer, elk, and such is so much healthier and will not hurt cholesteral.

Just a thought and it is good. UUMMMM

BLT's Tomato soup .
