For the people that aren't going out to eat, what special things are
you making for dinner on Vday? I'd like to get a few ideas that aren't
outrageous with the carbs, aren't terribly tedious to prepare, and
taste good. I'm kind of tired of the same old chicken, steak, etc. I'm
thinking of a main dish, a side dish, and simple dessert. Any
suggestions?

i like the sauces that Sharwood's makes

tonight, we are having butter chicken......... take a couple of chicken
breasts and dice them up, pan fry them, add the sauce and let them
simmer for 90 min...... voila dinner (well, i add green beans and
basmati rice to it)

Sharwoods? I don't think I've seen those sauces in the store, what
flavors are they? The dinner sounds good.

I'm doing tuna casserole. Nothing special but I'll be getting mushrooms in
my produce box. No dessert for us.

We're having chicken soup. We are both down with an upper respiratory
thingie. DH has been really sick. BGs dropping all over the place. I'm
up all night monitoring him. Had Paramedics twice last weekend because
he had taken sleeping pills and I couldn't wake him. Hate to use the
glucogon gun. I'm so scared of needles, but I did anyway.

No more sleeping pills allowed!! Now he or I catch the lows and feed
them. Endo reduced pump numbers by half and we are still seeing drops.
If he was feeling well and the antibiotics weren't killing tastebuds,
I'd order him a pizza :-).

I've got plenty of juice, milk, glucose tablets, gel, some jelly beans
and another glucogon gun which I hope not to have to use. I also bought
some regular soda which seems to work well since it's almost all
rapid-acting carbs.

We were supposed to go to a party tomorrow and I was going to make a
ricotta cheese cake (no crust). Oh well, I'm just glad he's around and I
can move fast enough to help him.

Happy Valentine's Day.

choose

there are other makers of India sauces that are good too (now to

Janet, I'm sorry that your DH has been so sick. Take care, and good
for you using the gluco gun. I know you're scared of needles, so I'm
glad you were able to do it. Take care.

I haven't planned it, since we were planning to eat out til I got
this
miserable URI. :-( At the very least, I'll be making some low
carb
chocolate peanut butter treat for my sweetie.

You should make my shrimp, feta and kalamata olive dish over a huge
bed
of sauteed spinach. It's easy, quick and looks very beautiful
plated.

And a boule de neige, maybe, with xylitol or a combination of
sweeteners.

The prep for the shrimp dish is about 10 minutes, all into one dish,
then baked.

The original recipe is at mtvikos.com, under recipes for their barrel
aged feta, and I used larger shrimp because I don't like little ones;
I
use jumbo, or sometimes large, and I use a lb from a bag of uncooked,
ez
peel shrimp:

Shrimp, Tomatoes & Barrel Aged Feta
This savory and delicious dish can be served as a hearty appetizer or
as
a topping for pasta.

10 oz. Shrimp, peeled and deveined, medium size
6 oz. Mt. Vikos Barrel Aged Feta, crumbled
2 Fresh tomatoes, medium, cut into large chunks (I use over half a
container of campari tomatoes from Sunset, at Costco)
1/4 cup Pitted kalamata olives
3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped fine
2 cloves Fresh garlic, chopped
1 tsp Oregano, dried
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Mix all the ingredients and place in a small baking casserole.
Preheat
oven, bake uncovered at 350 F. for 30-35 minutes. Serve immediately.
Serves 6 as appetizer, serves 4 with pasta.

Thanks Susan, that sounds really good and easy. I hope you're feeling
better soon.

Thanks Kate, I'll look for them.

We are having burritos tonight One of the quickest meals there is Low
carb wrap for me.

For "dessert" I made choc chip muffins.

Pataks or similar?

The Sharwood tiki masala is very good, I prefer that to the butter chicken.

Have crab legs and butter and a veggie side and make that chocolate heaven
pie for dessert

Mmmmm - that would get my vote!

Can't remember what we're having for supper, but I brought him back an
"I love you" plaque of Belgian chocolate from our pre-Christmas trip,
and then very stupidly left it too near a radiator last night and
melted half of it
