Dang but it smells good! And I forgot to take my Carafate so I have to wait
an hour now to eat. I found some prepared scalloped potatoes that don't contain wheat at Top Foods. I made them in the microwave. I always liked those but never had any luck at making them from scratch. I never really got a sauce. Just a milky part and a clumpy cheese part. My mom never made them at home so I don't really know how to do them. I did on occasion used those boxed products before we knew of our allergies, but they were not so good. Angela did like them so I made them when I found the product on sale. With this we have bacon and green beans. Angela said the potatoes are really good! My BG has been all over the place since I started on the 75/25 insulin. My worst readings (almost 500) have come about when eating the least amount of carbs. Go figure. And breakfast? Forget about it! No matter what I eat, my BG goes up 100 or more points. I did see a nice 103 before bed last night. Alas, it was over 200 when I woke up this morning. So no clue if this meal will actually work for me or not. But at this point I pretty much just do not care. Seems the harder I try with the diet, the worse it gets. So I will just stick to the bolus ratio they gave me and hope that it works. Once in a while it does. |

Sounds good, all but the cream:-) I made a large quantity of lamb stew with lots of big carrots, red peppers, shite turnips, onions, celery, big can of chopped tomatoes , rosmary and thyme(by the way they were on TV tonight:-). No wine, which I usually use, as with only one in the house now, i didn't want to open a new bottle just for the stew. I had quite a few psmall packages of the lamb, some boneless and some with bones in teh freeze adn wantedto clear them out. I am not at all used to this cooking for 1, so I will have to take up room in the freezer with single portions of this lovely stew if i don't want to have to eat the same thing all week! Syd alwasy loved anything with lamb in it, soo he would be a big helpin finishing up my big pots of stew. Maybe I should get rid of the big pots and only keep the smaller ones:-) In that way I couldn't make so much at a time. Wendy |

Not too far from Market Spice. That should be interesting! |

I buy a four pack of small bottles of wine. I usually use a half a bottle at a time. The rest is still good by the time I need it again. I can't remember what brand it is. |

I finally decided to try using it for cooking. I don't do it very often. |

Sure a bag contains 2 or 3 liters, but it's so much easier to draw one glass and only one :-) |

There are vacuum systems to preserve open bottles of wine, but frankly, anything I open doesn't last more than a couple of days, so why bother. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |
