Thanks, Ozgirl. I rarely go out, let alone shopping. When Jun cooks for me,
it's pretty low carb. Meat is mostly pork, chicken, beef, fish, shrimp
and/or mussels. She makes my favorite . . . lamb, on occassion. Veggies are
usually Chinese broccoli, spinach, bamboo shoots, snap peas, bean sprouts,
mushrooms, eggplant and such. Although I love Thai sticky rice (Cao Niao) I
only get about 1 or 2 Tbs of it on rare occasions.
