*Shudder* Avocadoes are one food I just can't put in my mouth. Except
oddly for avocado oil. Somebody (Quentin?) had recommended it and said it
had a buttery flavor. I tried using it in mashed potatoes and indeed it
does taste good. Very expensive though so I don't buy it often. Nobody in
this house will eat guacamole. But I do have some jars of Nacho Chreese dip
that is made of pea protein. We could have that with some veggies. If
there are any left by then.

We went from a house where nobody but me and occasionally my daughter were
eating raw veggies to one in which I can't keep fruit or veggies in the
house. I may have to go to the store again tomorrow. We've been to three
different stores in three days.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I may just pop open a can, grab a fork and eat the whole damned thing
straight up. I wonder how many carbs are in one can? Don't look! I don't
wanna know.

I don't know anyone else here who eats them. They are just not a popular
food. When I was a kid my friends thought we were trying to poison them
when we served those or hominy.

I'll wake up and kick some leftovernight birdbrains awake.

Then bloody Mary's (since I'm the designated driver) for breakfast with a two
foot Italian hoagie (oil & vinegar) and oven warmed up 2-foot cheesesteak and
turn on the Mummers Parade and switch between it and the Rose Bowl parades
then switch between the football bowl games ending after the Rose Bowl then
kick everybody out by 9:00pm, hopefully.

My New Year's Resolution/prayer is to get me and my friends and family
through 2008.

Yes, but then the gluten goes up into the food. It only takes a minute
amount to make an allergic person sick.

Eek! I have never served sauerkraut. Not even sure I've tried it. It just
looks and smells nasty. Angela does like all kinds of mustard though, as
does my husband.

Don't know what is in that stuff. I have heard that the bread with eggs
and/or milk in it is much more like regular bread. There are only a few
kinds she can eat because of her other allergies and the slices are very
crumbly. Her favorite kind is odd. It's called rice starch bread. The
slices have an unusual texture to them as though they have been toasted
already. They're rather hard. They're the only ones that hold up in her
lunch box.

Isn't it cooked though? I hate cooked cabbage. Had a neighbor who used to
make corned beef and cabbage once a week. The odor would seep into my
apartment and sicken me.

We have never had a tradition of any particular meal here but often people
will be congregating together at someone's house and having a bbq. It is
near the end of a pay period here so tonight(NYE) I am making the kids (that
are home) home-made hamburgers (buns, minced beef, tomato, lettuce,
beetroot, tomato/bbq/chili sauce, fried onions and cheese. For myself it is
all that less the buns plus celery, peppers and cucumbers. All the taste of
a burger without the excess carbs.

As to tomorrow, probably just the usual salad lunch like every other day.
Just Jasmine and myself most likely - one is away, one will be hungover and
one will be sleeping after overnight shift. Tomorrow night will be beef
casserole (cooked all day in a slow cooker) with mashed potato and veggies
for the kids, low carb veggies for me. It's the only substantial food left
in the house til pay day Smile

Looks like toasted sandwiches or scrambled eggs
for Wednesday night!

We have had many hot dogs here wrapped in slice of bread Wink

Or a hot dog cut
in half on a hamburger bun. I often run out of wraps for burritos before I
run out of filling so the last bit gets eaten with bread.

I use hardwood charcoal rather than briquettes.

Never mind -- you're right. It's some nasty stuff. You'd probably
drop dead on the spot from just the smell, let alone actually eating
it.

We use a gas grill. If we want smoky flavor, I wrap some smoking chips
in foil and poke them with a hole or two.
