Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / November 2007Asparagus & crab dinner
FBG was 90. Then I had dinner. Asparagus and fresh cooked crab really go nice together. Jun used oyster sauce instead of Hollandaise. 1 hour BG was 109.I expected it to be a lot higher because that oyster sauce is so sweet, but she didn't use much of it.  SignatureNick.

Seafood, together with the right ingredients, can be great. I do a "Singapore Chili Crab" that has no effect at all on my BG's. Part of the secret is to have it in the shell so that it takes ages to eat:-) Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 1500mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. -- http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com Psyllium, Fibre, Muesli and Nuts > <n_cramerSPAM@pacbell.net> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > all on my BG's.

G'day G'day Nick, Thanks for a timely reminder that certain combinations of foods work well together and can make T2 diabetic menus attractive for everyone sharing the meal. Asparagus is a firm favourite at this time of the year. We often have meals containing prawn or squid these days. Once prawns were so expensive here we never had them. Now they are freely available discounted in supermarkets often cheaper per 100 grams than many low-fat meats. Squid was mostly exported and not readily available on the local market. One had to prepare the squid gutting it etc oneself. Now one can by half kilo (one pound) plastic bags of "pineapple cut" squid that is a joy to cook and eat. We add a little szechuan Sauce chilli/sesame sauce and it is divine. Like you we have discovered that often if the sauce has a strong enough flavour one can use a small amount and are not bothered by the carbohydrate content.

Jun buys the squid at an Asian market. They're not hard to gut. Hold the body in one hand and grab the tentacles firmly just above the eyes. With a firm and steady motion pull the body and tentacles apart. Most of the inner parts will come out easily. Remove the long, thin piece of cartilage. Reach inside the body and pull out all remaining parts carefully and completely. Wash the inside of the body under cold, running water 'til the water runs clear, reaching inside the body to the tip to remove any remaining residue. Place the tentacles on a cutting board and cut at a point just below the eyes. Discard the eye portion and wash the tentacles under cool running water 'til the water runs clear. The process takes a lot less time than the description. I've done this numerous times when making Thai stuffed squid. If you're not going to use them right away, put them in a bowl of ice water, cover and store in your fridge for no more than one day. Jun serves me squid in lots of Thai dishes including curries. I also like the tentacles in pasta with white sauce. Take care. SignatureNick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

G'day G'day Nick, I've processed fresh squid on a number of occasions though not as expertly as you. At the moment the preprocessed packaged ones appeal. They are easy to store in the deep freeze and there is no squid gut to dispose of waiting in the wheelie bin till collection day. >The process takes a lot less time than the description. I've done this >numerous times when making Thai stuffed squid. If you're not going to use >them right away, put them in a bowl of ice water, cover and store in your >fridge for no more than one day. I'm impressed by your expertise. It takes me back to the days when I could go out fishing. There is something about freshly caught fish that cannot be emulated. We found with the squid that is was most important to remove the transparent film. Otherwise it would tighten and make the flesh rubbery as it cooked. >Jun serves me squid in lots of Thai dishes including curries. I also like >the tentacles in pasta with white sauce. > >Take care.

Digressing with a little tip that we do. When I'm preparing foods I usually end up with two kinds of waste. All vegetable waste goes in the compost bin in the back-yard. All animal waste such as fat trimmings, bones, fish guts and heads, prawn heads and shells etc are drained and wrapped in plastic and stored in a dedicated section of the freezer until garbage day, then put in the bin just before collection. That may not be necessary in cooler climates but is essential in our warm climate. And the bin never has an odour problem.

My brother used t do someting somewhat similar but without the freezer. he composted vegetable scraps and took the meat scraps and put them in 1 qt left over ogurt plastic containers that had a tight top. These went into the trash covered waiting for the weeklypick-up. Of course, he lived in upstate NY, not OZ.

If you have overeaten, thinking more about what you have overeaten will make you less hungry and not more hungry.

Incorrect. The thought of our favorite foods makes us hungrier only when we are already hungry. Many thanks, much praise, and all the glory to GOD for HIS compelling you to unwittingly reveal that you have no recent working familiarity with being hungry.

Hi, Loretta. Thanks. How're ya doing? Better, I hope. I'll ask Jun if she has a recipe, but I've watched her cook. It's a handful of this, a pinch of that, a squirt of something, taste, season! She brought me some Northern Thailand sausages today. Delicioso! As I was taking my one hour BG (138), my tongue was still tingling! I also had a little, very little, Thai sticky rice with it.
