Hi PP,

We are not suppose to plant till the first week of June.
Too much frost and freezing weather. :'(

14 varieties of tomatoes. Oh man!

What do you non-insulin T2's eat for breakfast?

An egg-based dish similar to an omelette or quiche, enriched with
additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta is
called a Frittata.

I have used up things in egg dishes but never in a meatloaf. My meatloaves
are always planned and often I have to go to the store with the salad bar so
I can buy small amounts of things we wouldn't otherwise eat. Like spinach.

Our last frost date is in the beginning of May. My tomato starts are
indoors, of course.

That concern didn't last long. Apparently L-carnitine is synthesized by
the body as needed, and an excess leads to cardiovascular disease.

<http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nm.3145.html>
Intestinal microbiota metabolism of l-carnitine, a nutrient in red meat,
promotes atherosclerosis.

Intestinal microbiota metabolism of choline and phosphatidylcholine
produces trimethylamine (TMA), which is further metabolized to a
proatherogenic species, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). We demonstrate
here that metabolism by intestinal microbiota of dietary l-carnitine, a
trimethylamine abundant in red meat, also produces TMAO and accelerates
atherosclerosis in mice. Omnivorous human subjects produced more TMAO
than did vegans or vegetarians following ingestion of l-carnitine
through a microbiota-dependent mechanism. The presence of specific
bacterial taxa in human feces was associated with both plasma TMAO
concentration and dietary status. Plasma l-carnitine levels in subjects
undergoing cardiac evaluation (n = 2,595) predicted increased risks for
both prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD) and incident major adverse
cardiac events (myocardial infarction, stroke or death), but only among
subjects with concurrently high TMAO levels. Chronic dietary l-carnitine
supplementation in mice altered cecal microbial composition, markedly
enhanced synthesis of TMA and TMAO, and increased atherosclerosis, but
this did not occur if intestinal microbiota was concurrently suppressed.
In mice with an intact intestinal microbiota, dietary supplementation
with TMAO or either carnitine or choline reduced in vivo reverse
cholesterol transport. Intestinal microbiota may thus contribute to the
well-established link between high levels of red meat consumption and
CVD risk.

Be a vegetarian, and watch your B12, tryptophan, or zinc levels, or
become a sedentary herbivore and get heart disease. Any other choices?
