That's really great, Susan. My FBG was 108 today, so I just had a spinach and tomato salad with Sesame dressing. One hour PP BG was 110.
Jun just made some Thai fried catfish (Pla Doog Pad Ped), and pasta with Alfredo sauce. I had about 2 Tbs of the pasta and am enjoying the catfish as I type. ;-)
Didn't check BG before I started eating. Will check it in an hour.

I haven't had sea bass since, well the last time I had sea bass whenever that was
Dunno about sugar snap peas but I've had mangetouts with less of a BG jolt than I was expecting (memo to selves: buy some next week) also I decided not to replace the frozen peas in the freezer, since when I've felt like having some.
Tonight's menu: Cumberland sausages with fresh asparagus (the local stuff isn't online yet, this came from t'other side of the country and is growen under fleece to bring it on early) and a slice of wholewheat bread with butter, washed down with a good value Bordeaux: 1 hour 110, gentle stroll round the block admiring the cherry trees and tulips in flower, 2 hour 72

MMMMMmmmmmmmm! Meanwhile, Younger Daughter was cooking sausages for a hot-dog, so we nicked some : )

Normally I just boil it slightly (and leave the bathroom window open for the next six hours)

(Will accept brothers on hormones <evil > grin>) Your evening meal sounds great, Trink. I've never had Cumberland sausage, but Jun makes several Thai and Issan sausages, some of which sound similar to it, although in smaller casings. How was the asparagus served? I don't think I could handle that much bread, even whole wheat. I, too, love dry red wines.
You don't want to know about Jun's sisters! It's a long story. ;-( She taught her cousin how to cook. He cheffed at her last restaurant and cooked for me while Jun was in Thailand. Helluva nice guy.
Take care.

We used to have genuine Cumberland sausage when I lived there, it was supplied in a full length rather than twisted off in segments. The local butcher's stuff doesn't have too much carby crap added unlike the commercial brand name sausages, in fact there's something of a sausage revival hereabouts, so far I only found one I didn't like.
I did the asparagus by boiling it until just tender enough to be edible.
That's one thing I've learned from Thai (and other) cooking, doing fresh stuff which cooks quickly.
Yeah I've surprised myself a time or two recently, probably since starting the ALA I can do more carbs in the evening, but less again at night. Especially with a postprandial walk now the weather's finer but it can take some balancing and careful timing to avoid unacceptable highs or lows, I'm not doing the reactive lows I used to but can get a *genuine* low sometimes.
All praise to Alan for his championing of red wines, and thanks to both the local supermarket and the wine shop for having a fine selection of acceptable but cheap stuff, Chilean or Australian Shiraz is one of my favourites along with Chianti but there's a huge selection which will take a few years to work through. There are some fairly good English wines but the whites are generally better than the reds, and the good reds are expensive compared to the imports.
>You don't want to know about Jun's sisters! It's a long story. ;-( >She taught her cousin how to cook. He cheffed at her last restaurant and >cooked for me while Jun was in Thailand. Helluva nice guy. Eh well it was worth a try <G> we have a Thai restaurant here which is quite excellent but very expensive. When I used to eat a lot more carbs I loved Thai food and still do some imitations, with combinations of things like hot chillies with coconut to cool it down again, and lime juice added to prawns.
I'll check out your recipes page later.

Not Thai style, but after you snap off the bottoms of the asparagus (to freeze and later use to make asparagus soup), stand the spears up in a pot, with enough water to cover the remaining stems. Cover and boil 'til the tips are steamed just tender and the stems are boiled tender. More flavor than just boiling. Jun usually stir-fries them in ???. I taught her how to make my Hollandaise sauce, too.

If you catch them early enough, they make excellent salad additions or as a vegetable, sauted. Yum!

I thought they would but they weren't as bad as I suspected, likewise but more so the mangetouts, despite the sweetish taste I guess there's enough fibre to slow them down acceptably.
I've used dried peas without problems (except for the farting) it was actually mother who'd stopped eating the frozen peas and frozen mixed veg and I decided not to replace them after defrosting the freezer and discovering there was an iceberg in a bag past its sell-by date . . .
Sweet corn in a can is seriously bad news but I can handle about half a fresh cob if not overcooked. I still have to trial some other things like artichokes and sweet potatoes, but I think I won't be bothering with plantain ever again.

My fave. I haven't had artichokes in a while (fond childhood memories). Looking fwd to your report. Sweet potatoes really spiked me. Hope you fare better. Jun makes Thai Gluey Tord (fried plantain slices). Really good, but require very stringent portion control.

My fave. No, mainly because I don't like cream cheese. I prefer real cheese. Currently we have some nice runny Brie and some Farmhouse Cheddar, when I used to live in Somerset we used to go to the farm and put our name on a truckle of cheese then leave it in their cold store until it was ripe.

No time to put on lettuce and tomato because I was playing hunt the garbage can lids after the windstorm we had today. Somehow the cans got into my yard, over the fence, but no lids. Since they were new cans I didn't want to have to go buy more again just to get lids.
Had to take Angela to the store today for a suitable frozen treat because they are having waffle cone sundaes after lunch tomorrow. So I got some salad at the salad bar for my bed time snack.
I can't remember what my numbers were after dinner but they were down over 100 points from the lunch I didn't have. Got so fed up with the high numbers that I thought I would try not eating lunch again. Apparently the wrong thing to do because it would appear that it created a massive liver dump on me. Gah! I want off this roller coaster.

CHUNG, ANDREW BEN-HUA 5701 MABLETON PARKWAY 2 B | MABLETON, GA 30126 (404) 699-2780
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
Notice that Chung doesn’t address a single issue he’s been called up on. Change the titles on threads he post, he’s a control freak and hates it.
Make sure and complain about Mr. Chungs spams to Google, he is only doing it to drive up traffic on his web site that he is attempting to sell for half a million dollars to Emory University. He is spamming us to drive up traffic numbers at his web site and will not stop until we all complain about his tactics!
Anorexia is a serious medical condition. Your calls (Mr. Chung) for people to "go hungry" and to "be skinny" are criminal and I advise you to stop this immediately.
www.anad.org/
and
www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/
If you or somebody you knows suffers from this condition, seek medical attention and DO NOT LISTEN to Andrew B. Chung. If he persist in this continued action, he won't be able to afford an Internet connection to log on and spam us with the ridiculous statements that are being delivered by somebody that claims to be in the Medical profession. It is irresponsible to dispense medical advice without even knowing the condition of the people you are delivering the message to.
See to it his license to practice medicine is revoked in his state. Don’t be fooled by Chung! He admits to not keeping his state qualifications and while he likes to post a link to “Emory Cardiology” in his post, the site that states it is a “unofficial web site as a tribute” and in no way is an endorsement of him or his standing in the medical community.
Dr. Yamantaka Says, He is already under investigation by the State of Georgia for reasons of dishonesty, mental illness and inability to practice up to minimum community standards.
Mike Mordant says: Other authorities may take an interest in his business practices soon. He'll owe the IRS somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,000 and $280,000 for his sale of the emorycardiology.com domain. It may get treated as ordinary income, not a capital gain since he "remains lawful steward."
To that Mr. Chung’s web site states:
“after receiving an offer from Emory University for less than its fair market value, I have been moved to put this domain on the market so that others may have the opportunity to purchase this high-profile cardiology domain at its current market value. However, this opportunity is for the domain only and not the web content. If interested, please leave a message at 404.699.2780 (serious inquiries with offers of more than US$550,000.00 only).”
In other words, Mr. Chung is spamming us on usenet to create traffic at his domain so that he can blackmail Emory University into paying a ridiculous sum of money just for the domain name. There is very little content on the site and nothing of any medical value.
So, don’t visit the site. He’s just trying to drive up traffic numbers to justify the cost and that is why he is putting dozens of stupid spams. They have nothing to do with the Christian faith and everything to do with his desire to derive profits.
Mr. Chung says of his own qualifications,
> Didn't you take the required exam for recertification last > year ? No. The board-certification in internal medicine was required for the fellowship training in cardiology.
> Cardiology is a subspecialty of internal medicine. The cardiologist > who treated me for atypical chest pain is board certified in both > internal and cardiovascular medicine. That is his/her choice as it is mine to not recertify in internal medicine.
Dr. Yamantaka also stated:
Chung, you have shown that you are unable or unwilling to truthfully answer the reasonable and straight forward questions that I have asked you to address. Any practicing physician who repeatedly makes the boasts and claims that you do on these newsgroups would be able to answer these questions honestly.
This proves that you are lying about your medical practice and your claims, both by omission and commission. You are continuing to be pathologically untruthful in how you represent yourself and your clinical experience. This is dishonest and further evidence of your mental illness and personality disorder.
Chung, you are not an endocrinologist. You are not a Board Certified Internist. I am.
"Black fat" is not a term that is used in medicine. . You claim to offer measurement of VAT. How is it measured? What units are used? How does one know when it is lost. Please site evidence-based, peer reviewed sources that state that diabetes is curable upon loosing VAT. If you are unable or unwilling to give verifiable evidence to support your absurd claims, then stop. His license is already under investigation. Anyone wishing to add his/ her complaints about Chung's unprofessional behavior and absurd, nonstandard medical advice can also contact the Board. It can be done anonymously. http://medicalboard.georgia.gov/02/csbme/home/0,2458,26729866,00.html
From the website of the Georgia Medical Board:
What is unprofessional conduct?
According to the Medical Practice Act, unprofessional conduct includes "any departure from or failure to conform to the minimal standards of acceptable and prevailing medical practice and shall also include, but not be limited to the prescribing or use of drugs, treatment or diagnostic procedures which are detrimental to the patient as determined by the minimal standards of acceptable medical care."
In general, examples of unprofessional conduct include, but are not limited to, physical abuse of a patient, inadequate record keeping, not recognizing or acting upon common symptoms, prescribing drugs in excessive amounts or without legitimate reason, personal impairment (mental or physical) that hinders safely practicing within the scope of one's license or certificate, performing duties beyond the scope of one's license or certificate and dishonesty. The Investigations and Discipline rules of the Georgia Medical Board, (Rule 360-3.02 and 360-3-.04), also provide additional examples of unprofessional conduct for which a licensee may be disciplined.

I don't think it is currently protected as I see it at my NYC Fairway adn in restaurants. You might check either the Audubon website or the Monterey Aquarioum site. They both give information on which fishes are better to eat and which to avoid. My bioligist son usually keeps me informed. By the way , he is big on tilapia, which is safely farm raised adn not endangering the wild fish. Just the other night I made a lovely fish salad from steamed(in the microwavy) tilapia. Nothing fancy, just celery, onions, mayo, greenpeppers, black pepper(freshly ground) and some mild wine vinegar as I had no lemons!. It being Passaover, I didn't have a great herb collection. the salad ws a great his with ny husband, son and d-i-l as well as me. My mother used to make this with either halibut or cod(way second best) but both are kind of prohibitive in cost these days, so I tried the tilapia.

: TaniO Thanks. they are not very near, but I do pass a D'Agostinos when I seethe pain doctor and will stop in and look. the Gristedes moved as it coul dnot compete with Fairway, whihc is too bad because they carried store brands of foods that were a better price than the name brands at f fairway.
