I'd suggest finding a good allergist and starting some immunotherapy, it
works very well in most cases.

Out of yoghurt and can't eat egg and bacon every day.

So the choice: posole. Made from yellow corn hominy, pork, chile,
onions, chile, Mexican oregano, chile and garlic. With flour tortillas.
Strong (decaf) coffee and some fruit.

And yours?

BTDT. Repeated treatments didn't work well at all given the expense.
Easier just to ride it out; there's no asthma involved.

Sometimes I don't remember to eat. I had "breakfast" at around five
this evening. I thought about doing exactly what you suggested (minus
the chiles), but shrugged it off. There are days when I just don't
care.

Went to the mechanic cause my old car was making a funny noise and
stopped by the Chinese store next door. I bought Hawaiian red salt and a
Chinese strawberry gelatin/agar dessert mix called "Strawberry Dofu
Delight."

There was a container of pineapple salsa in the refrigerator case which
was unusual so of course, I'm gonna get that. I asked the lady if she
made the salsa and she says "yes we also made all the kimchees." I said
"Do you have cucumber kimchee?" She says "yes" and of course, I gonna
get that since I really dig cucumber kimchee. She taps on the little
sticker starbursts that were stuck on the glass case with the names of
the different kimchee. It's not that easy for stickers to stick to wet,
cold, glass and the starpoints were lifted off the glass and bounced up
and down on her fingertip but it was still readable and the one she was
tapping on said "pineapple."

I said "Pineapple? You make pineapple kimchee?"

"We make pineapple"

"You're kidding..."

"I know, it's kinda strange but it's kinda good..."

Oh hell yeah, of course I'm gonna jump on that sucker! :-)

Anyway, that's what I had for lunch - a deluxe Jack-in-the-Box hamburger
with pineapple salsa and cucumber and pineapple kimchee. Kinda goofy, I
know but this will go good with raw fish and hot rice. Hell, maybe we
even break out the furikake. :-)

8 oz. leftover rib-eye steak (re-heated) and a large handful of raw baby
spinach leaves...

Dinner tonight when I got back from Austin was 1 very large beef rib
from Ironworks BBQ and a few pickle chips. ;-d

I won't be eating anything else today... I have the night off. :-)

Dang. We should go shopping together.

Oh well, I guess you're one of the unlucky few percent it doesn't work
for. It works very very well for me. My previously severe cat allergy is
nonexistent now as are my previously less severe grass and pollen
allergies. My insurance also covers it 100% other than a $25 co-pay when
I visit the doc every few months.

Oh, gee, I have been very uninspired the last couple of days.
Nuts and berries, I think. And cafe au lait (too much of that).

I think it is time to make a quiche or a frittata....

Not good for you to eat that way. Have the same problem with the
Maternal Unit. Mostly she just doesn't care if she's eaten or not.

Got a weird immune system LOL. Since my allergies are annoying rather
than life threatening my insurance won't cover 100 percent. Were there
complications or other risks involved it would.

I'm not usually that way. If I posted a full-length picture of
myself, you'd find it difficult to believe that I've ever missed a
meal. But there are times when eating just doesn't occur to me.

How do you get your mother to eat when she forgets or doesn't want to?

I'm trying to lose weight. <g>
The low carb high fiber approach works well for me.

I've finally lost enough that my co-workers are beginning to notice.

That's the trouble with being very large. You have to lose a LOT before
it becomes noticeable. I noticed it first when I had to take up the
belt in my fannypack holster by about 4" (8 cm) when I wore it to South
Austin. ;-)

No protein in mine. Just a cup of fresh red grapefruit wedges. No extra
sugar, they didn't need it.

I like red grapefruit too but I am surprised by people who like to
extract the wedges into a bowl. You are not alone but I just cut around
the skin with a grapefruit knife and use a spoon.

I'm trying. :-) With any luck, I'll post "before and after" pics this
time next year. I still have a long way to go.

I think I've overhauled my lifestyle enough to actually KEEP it off this
time! <sigh> I've lost 80 lbs. twice now and gained it back both times.

Diets don't work. Only permanent lifestyle changes...

I've lost enough now too where carrying the Taurus PT-92 does not give
me so much of a back ache due to the weight of the lead and the extra 16
capacity magazine. <g>

I have a friend that's been mugged twice now in South Austin on Lamar
where most of the good shopping is. I'm taking no chances...

The only thing possible: put food in front of her. Preferably something
she *really* likes. Other than the lobster of course Plus anything
made will have as much extra nutrition as can be sneaked in there, to
make up for when she just won't eat no matter what. She's been that way
all her life, so nothing to do with the ageing process.

We've been getting some very good grapefruit quite cheap lately. Haven't

Ask your produce manager if they ever get in any TexasSweet grapefruit. Not
read, but very sweet. Usually gone in a couple days.

I'm glad you are getting the Rio's. They are delicious aren't they? I
don't even bother to sweeten those. I peel them and eat them like an
orange.

i'm kinda like that. you hear people say 'i couldn't eat another bite,'
but that's usually after polishing off a plate or two. i just reach a
point (early) where i say 'no more, i'm done here.'

They've all been very good this year. So have the oranges we get by the
bag, Sunkist brand. Very consistently sweet and juicy.

That's a bit different. We are talking about someone who quite readily
skips meals altogether, without making it up later.

Used to love to eat at my maternal grandmother's house. Excellent cook
and outrageously large portions At one dinner where I'd eaten two
fully-loaded plates of food, refused the offer of the third. In all
seriousness she asked, with concern: 'Don't you like my cooking?'

I normally only eat once or twice per day. So does dad, and our meals
tend to be small.

What's the big deal?

On Sundays, I sometimes don't eat at all.

You are trying to lose weight. The Maternal Unit is underweight. Not
taking in calories isn't such a good idea.

Mm, good point. I guess the best thing to do then is when you can get
her to eat, give her high calorie, nutrient dense stuff.

Have you tried meal replacement shakes just as a supplement? Ones made
with whey protein generally mix pretty smooth without the grittiness of
cheaper protein powders.

If you can make your own yoghurt you can add about 1/2 cup dried milk
to a quart of regular, or mix cream and whole milk. Since I am
working on getting my fat level down, I do it with skim milk and dried
skim.
