Almost completely vegetarian now apart from Wild Salmon. A 4 ounce portion drizzled with Lemon and black pepper takes 1 and a half minutes in the microblaster. Still slightly undercooked and so juicy! I don't fry anything in any oil any more - except for a little Olive oil to release spice flavours in a curry, then mop it up with a kitchen paper. "QUORN" features a lot. I wrote to them asking for a complete nutritional breakdown to include levels and comparisons between Omega-3's & Omega-6's, but so far they have not responded, which makes me a little bit suspicious. Fats and oils are scary now - never thought that I'd admit to that! My bread has no shortening agent at all, makes it chewier and it doesn't keep as long. But it seems tastier. Dontcha just wish you didn't have to read drivel like this? Some Club to be in. Away for a walk with my cat. Maybe I should get drunk. Rollicking gloriously pie-eyed falling down rat-arsed singing at the moon kinda drunk. Maybe not. Finally mastered the art of coffee with Soya Milk so it doesn't curdle! (Real chuffed now!)

Hello Hugh, The others might not be able to see your post, because your computer clock is set wrong (see below) Subject: More about Omega-6's Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 15:11:02 +0100 From: "Hugh Kearnley"
Anyway, I was wondering what the solution is to not curdling Soya milk (in coffee)? J
Hugh Kearnley - 30 Apr 2007 23:41 GMT My fault about the computer clock - I was checking to see when my Onco visit was in May, and forgot to reset it. Coffee + Soya milk = put an ice cube into the made mug of coffee. After it disappears - add the milk - SLOWLY.

That's okay, Hugh. It happens to the best of us, sometimes. Just pointing it out because some people cannot see posts until the date and the date was a month ahead. Actually it would be a kewl way to keep track of appointments, via newsgroup. Post the appointments on the wrong date (ahead but short a few days to remind you), as long as you change the date back, for the posts you want people to see "now". I use a wall calendar for important dates, near the kitchen prep area and table, so after a meal, I usually glance at it to see what's coming up.
> Coffee + Soya milk = put an ice cube into the made mug of coffee. After it > disappears - add the milk - SLOWLY. I see. So it has to be cooled down first. Our mother always told us "put a spoon in it" to cool coffee or tea. Does that work as well before adding soya milk? J
Hugh Kearnley - 01 May 2007 12:43 GMT The spoon didn't work - just tried that - it curdled, but gonna drink it anyway. I use "Alpro Light" Soya milk for beverages and "So Good" for just gulping. It has something to do with the combo of heat and acidity of the coffee.
Had the latest monthly triptorelin jab this morning. First painful one. Felt like a 6 inch nail whacked into my a.s. Woulda hooked the doc, but it was a woman, so I just said a cuss word and smiled. Hughie.

They tend to stay sore for a day or two. Never thought about punching the nurse though. Maybe I'll try that next time it happens.

Steve Kramer - 09 May 2007 21:20 GMT > Have a big juicy steak now and again.... I guarantee that you'll live > just as long... or within a week or so. The best steak I have ever had was at Jeff Ruby's (restaurants in Cincinnati and Louisville), but it is too expensive for more than one on my budget.
A couple of days ago, O.J. stopped in for dinner at his Louisville restaurant. Ruby kicked him out.
Looks like I'll be going back afterall.

I've forgotten Hughs's cardiovascular status; if it's adequate, I fully support the steak -- and Haagen Dasz, pizza, and cheesecake -- hell, daily in Hugh's case. OTOH, I shed a dozen pounds while building muscle and dramatically improved my lipids profile in the past six weeks with very minimal changes (added fish oil and reduced carbs slightly to cut my triglycerides by 65%, modified my metabolism via tailored exercise to run on fat rather than sugar).

IP have you finally come over to my side a bit? I've been running on fat instead of sugar for 8 years now.

Sadly my mom died too young at 65, over 20 years ago with terrible health problems, and I'm sure I probably got more of her genes as well? If it evens out, I'll be dead any minute now, but 8 years of steak, butter, cheesecake, and ribs, have made it very worthwhile.

But you're doing it by starving your body of carbs, giving it no choice but to run on something besides sugar. You could also do that by living -- for a while -- on shoe leather and toothpaste. Taken to the extreme, the ultimate result of that form of cell chemistry alteration is best shown in photos of 1945 Auschwitz. I did it the old fashioned way, by altering my cell chemistry through aerobic exercise, which is a healthier pathway, especially for active people.
OTOH, even though all evidence still points to carbs as our best energy source, it doesn't take much unburned carbs to raise our triglycerides, which paired with low HDL (which mine is) is a significant heart threat. Thus aside from the Atkins-Mediterranean debate, even slim people can still eat too much carbs, even if they're all whole grains. So while I used to eat close to a loaf of whole grains bread most days, I have cut back to "only" a few slices of bread plus "only" a third of a box (it used to be half a box, and still is during my peak sports season) of whole grain cereal most days.
I guess you could call that "coming around", even though it would have Atkins rolling over in his grave.

I tried eating an actual piece of bacon (it was wrapped around a giant prawn) last week. It tasted as though I was performing an oral liposuction on Rosie O'Donnel. ;-)
I guess I ain't converted yet.

Taken to the extreme, Fat is a perfectly good source of energy.... afterall, isn't that how the body stores it's excess carbs? Folks like you are able to burn off what they eat. Folks like me are carb intolerant, and the more I eat the more I want, and the more that goes to fat storage. I just cut out most of the dietary carbs, and let my body decide where and when to get them from my dietary reserve. And I do eat carbs, but not empty or sugary ones. I only eat carbs when I'm getting something back good in return, like veggies & nuts & berries. I also can't stand bacon..... never could.
