Hi All,

The love of my life eats the same stuff I do to make
sure there is no temptation for me to cheat. (I had
the good sense to make my trophy wife my first wife.)

The *ONLY* fish she would eat before my induction into
the pin cushion club was "fish sticks" (battered cod).
She really hates fish too.

I can get natural flash frozen cod from my local Raley's.
How do I make something that tastes similar to Fish Sticks
and stay with my/our 15 carb per meal limit?

Many thanks,
-T

No clue about the fish but I really wish you'd stop referring to your wife
like that. If anyone ever referred to me like that, I'd likely inflict some
bodily harm on them and quickly! They'd never do it again, to be sure.
Comments like that are sooo insulting to women!

He's complimenting her. I think it's adorable.

Lighten up, Julie. It's none of your business how he refers to his wife.

Hi Guys,

I am drawing a blank here. The only thing I can think of
is walnut powder and *A LOT* of grease. Please rescue me
from myself!

Can you get chick-pea flour? It has a lot of the properties of wheat
flour that you want with fewer carbs (and less blood sugar hit). If you
have a source for Bob's Red Mill flours and grains (health food store,
or health food section of your supermarket), you can easily get some. I
use it for breading a lot.

Hi Alice,

Thank you!

Unfortunately I can not. At 53 carbs per cup, chickpea flour blows
my 15 carb per meal limit.

I have heard that walnut powder will substitute. Do you have
any experience with such?

The term "trophy wife" is NOT a compliment in any way, shape or form. It's
my business when he posts it here. I am sick of these insulting terms in
reference to his wife!

lol, there is only a certain amount of breading that will actually stick
to a piece of fish or other animal protein. I think you might be
over-estimating just how much of the breading you will actually use. I
would go for the crumbs of low carb bread. A very little amount of oil
just layering the bottom of a pan (preheat oil in the oven, pop in the
fish, turn once. Fish cooks so quickly in an oven, no need for deep
frying. Dip in egg, shake the egg off a little, lay one side on a thin
bed of crumbs, turn over and you are ready Perhaps graham crackers
crushed would work too, we don't get them here so I can't really
comment.

Graham crackers are sweet though. I think that would be nasty. Personally, I
use small amount of almond flour mixed with a bit of flax meal. As you say,
it doesn't take much, so low carb bread works too. Same with crushed pork
rinds.

I like a bit of sweetness with savoury foods.

Hi Cheri,

Pretty much describes it.

How many spouses of diabetics do you know that put
themselves on the same diet to support their other half?
Sweet as can get too. Smartest person, male or female,
I know. I thank God for her every night. She is a real
trophy. (Easy on the eyes too.)

38 years and counting!

Hi Ozgirl,

Thank you!

Yes, I may be overestimating.

Okay, here is what I think you are telling me:


No seasoning.

1) scramble up an egg (maybe two).

2) dip the fish in the egg. Then in whatever I come up with
for breading.

3) Fry in a little oil (EVOO?). Flip quickly so as to not
overcook.

I find it quite lovely that after all these years you are still so in
love with your wife. She is a very lucky woman to have you.

I eat what DH eats. He's diabetic, I'm not. I cook, so I cook for him
and eat what he eats. I miss pasta a lot, but c'est la vie.

For breading two servings of fish, you won't use more than 1/4 cup of
the flour, and some of that will be left on the plate or in the bag.

The rest of us? You speak for the group now? And the whole rest of the
group thinks that saying "trophy wife" is a nice thing to say? I'm not
going to filter him even though I am sorely tempted because he posts things
that are simply wrong and could badly confuse a newbie.

I don't want sweet crumbs on fish sticks, but maybe the OP does. :-)

Hi Janet,

I don't know where you came up with that from but that is not what is
usually meant by that term.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophy_wife

"Trophy wife is an expression used to refer to a wife, usually young and
attractive, who is regarded as a status symbol for the husband, who is often
older and wealthy.
The use of the term also usually reflects negatively on the character or
personality of the husband, and has a connotation of narcissism and desire
to impress others, and that the husband would not be able to attract the
sexual interest of the attractive woman but for his wealth or position. It
can also be used to imply that the trophy wife in question has little
personal merit besides her physical attractiveness, and is sometimes
synonymous with the term "gold digger."



http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...rm=trophy+wife

"

A young, attractive woman married to an older, more powerful man.

His role in the relationship is to be her sugar daddy and provide her with
power and material wealth. Hers, beyond providing sex, is to remind others
that he is powerful or rich enough to be desirable to such a woman despite
his age and thus to serve as a marker of this status -- hence the "trophy"
part. A specialized type of gold digger."

"a woman who marries for money and sits at home all day looking pretty"

http://www.ehow.com/how_2063647_be-trophy-wife.html

"Sure, being a trophy wife may seem like a day at the spa, but the shoes of
a trophy wife, albeit stylish and to die for, aren't easy to fill. Follow
these steps to see if you've got what it takes to become Mr. Right's
right-hand ma'am.


1..
a.. 1
Turn heads, especially his boss's, his father's, and all of his
colleagues'. When you show up on your man's arm, onlookers should lose their
train of thought, nervously clear their throat and instinctively hide their
wedding bands.

b.. 2
Network, even when you're off the clock. A company cocktail hour here
and a golf fundraiser there would be a piece of cake-- fat-free, at that-but
the real work starts when he's not looking. You should be networking at the
salon, the country club, the gym and anywhere else where his name needs
dropped.3

c.. Nail the lawn boy. Or the pool boy or the handy man. Take your pick.
You work hard for your man and he has no responsibility to thank you for it,
so find someone else to thank you for your services. Just make sure he's
more ripped, has more hair and looks hot when sweaty.

d.. 4
Organize parties, fundraisers and dinners, even when you haven't seen
your man in person since last week. He needs your assistance even when he's
invisible.

e.. 5
Mind the three B's: Blonde, Boobs, BMW. Keep them well-maintained and
up-to-date.

f.. 6
Look good in Lycra. Have your man arrange for a gym membership and use
it regularly, if only to make an appearance. Order salads when in public,
but don't eat them. Over-indulge on wine and champagne. Drink coffee, coffee
drinks and anything else, as long as it's in a coffee cup. Your meals should
really only consist of drinking."


As you can see... This term is neither complimentary to the woman *or* the
man.

Hi Alice,

Thank you!

You are correct. I am still balking as I don't want that poison
in my house, even if a little won't hurt me. I know I am being
a bit extreme. I was looking for something "safer". Maybe when
a few years pass, I will be less paranoid.

Trader Joe's sells Walnut bits. I was thinking of sticking them
in a bag and SMACKING them with the bottom of a glass. If it doesn't
work, at least I will have had fun at it.

Do you use egg?

You can try pulverizing pecans in a food processor. I use crushed
pecans as breading for chicken.

If you bake the fish it's less calories, but if you are frying, it use
an oil that is more stable at higher temps like canola or peanut.

I have used wheat germ, the kind that comes in a jar, for breading and
filler, like in meat balls.

And...then there is this:

Definition: The term "trophy wife" generally refers to a successful,
powerful businessman's second or third wife who is beautiful, educated,
successful, and younger than her husband. A "trophy wife" is considered a
status symbol."

Uh no. It is a derogatory term any way you slice it! I posted the links to
prove what I mean. A trophy wife is not just arm candy. That's a different
term. A trophy wife would of course be beautiful but the other connotations
are that she is a gold digger, married him for his money, and that he
couldn't get a wife otherwise. It's a very nasty thing to say. And now he
says that she is not for rent? And that's a nice thing to say? I wonder
why he feels the need to keep making all these comments about his wife here
like that. I find it very odd.

I would not put walnuts on fish. That wouldn't be anything like a fish
stick. You'll just get oily, nut tasting fish.

And what is the source of that? And even at that... Would you like to be
considered as a status symbol? I wouldn't. I had a couple of BFs who
treated me like that. I couldn't stand it.

Hmmmm. I have access to pecans too. If it works for chicken,
it should work for fish. Thank you!

I really don't care about calories, as long as they come from fat and
not carbs. And, I don't have access to my oven.

Do you cook you fish on medium or high temp?

Wheat germ is suppose to be so good for you too. How is it on the
carb front?

I have used crushed pecans on fish. It is very good. I spray with a
bit of olive oil, sprinkle the crushed pecans on it then bake. My
husband really likes fish cooked this way too.

Hi Cheri,

I have been marries for more than twice as many years
as I have been single. When I look back to when I was
single, it seems as if a part of me is missing.

And, with that, I have a date with you-know-who
to watch videos and eat dinner, so I should
hurry up and finish my office work and get home!
