This morning, breakfast will be entitled “Glop from Outer Space 25”. It will combine the culinary assassins of Rice-a-Roni and macaroni and orange # 20. For dinner this evening, left over “Glop from Outer Space 25”.
Just for the record, my cat just ate a stray radish leaf off of the kitchen floor. She goes after bits of onion skin, too. Yes, I feed her quite well. She’s just a bit…weird.
Every time I eat an orange, though, she’ll sit there and look at me with this “I don’t know how you can defile yourself with such garbage” look.
Sounds delicious, but it’s too much cholesterol for me! I have to cut back on pig , fried stuff and shellfish Maybe I can figure out a substitute using olive oil.
I absolutely love smoked grilled salmon (with some hickory chips for smoke), but I leave out the dill.
A hunk of that and some slaw with a slice or two of my faux sourdough french bread, toasted dry and scrubbed with a clove of garlic, then painted with olive oil, and a glass of nice wine, that can’t be beat!
Or the price you pay for living in a medical maelstrom - supported by cereal grain and vegetable oil lobbyists + the FDA - that asserts the questionable idea that blood cholesterol is directly linked to dietary cholesterol.
I know several people who have ignored dietary cholesterol and instead switched to zero (or very light) carbohydrate and hydrogenated vegetable fat diets, and their blood cholesterol plummeted.
Actually, I use quite a bit of extra virgin olive oil in my cooking. I had been experimenting with some new receipes that I was working to adapt to mine and a friend of mine’s (he has diabetes and I had to use insulin for around 9 months) tasts, then I started paying a lot more attention to my diet. Luckily, I am an omnivore and love to eat almost anything (no dill, caraway seeds or celery, please). The hardest was to cut back on pig (and of course, ice cream) as that is my favorite meat. I do splurge on bacon and eggs for breakfast every month or two.
It’s weird how I have low blood pressure (normally around 90/60) and high cholesterol.
