Hi Hap,

->  hn> Ooops, no I know what it is....
->  hn> hamburgers...

-> We had 75% beef, 25% turkey burgers last night--grilled. Seasoned with
-> onion & garlic powder, black and chipotle pepper. A big "thumbs up" from
-> Steve. (G)

 hn> MmmM, sounds good!  I'll be making chili tonight and
 hn> burgers on Saturday.

They were good; Steve was a bit hesitant because I used a beef and
turkey mix. He thought I'd have to cook it too hot so it wouldn't be
juicy but it was just right for him. I think the seasoning is what
"sold" him.  We did schnitzel tonight--had 3 chicken breast halves that
were rather good sized after being pounded out. Two ent into the oven,
one done stove top.  That one was eaten; the others are for the next
couple of days. I did a simple lettuce & tomato salad with it and we
finished off the potato salad.

->  hn> Actually it's this friday!

-> So we'll know the outcome soon.

 hn> this evening in fact!

And I'll read about it in the next mail packet.

->  hn> Second opinion...????? he's just as confused
->  hn> as the primary surgeon. we went over the

-> IOW, "I don't know either but let's give this a try and here's some
-> tests to run up the bill" kind of appointment. (G)  Hope the shot works.

 hn> I'm a member of an HMO so no running
 hn> up the bill, they get my monthly payment
 hn> and a co-pay, that's it. We're still trying
 hn> to figure out what it is that's going on
 hn> with the knee...the cortisone is seeming
 hn> to help a quite a bit though, so I'm grateful
 hn> for that!

Good that the cortisone is working.  Maybe you just need to rest it
more.  How was it in the time after surgery until baseball season opened
up?

-> Is Anne on a low dose steroid in any medication?

 hn> Nope, she's been like that since she
 hn> was a child! She used to get
 hn> bloody noses...HUGE ONES but
 hn> has finally stopped having those.

OK, just wondering if that could ve the cause. Sounds like she may need
more B vitamins. We're going to push the leafy greens more this
fall/winter ourselves.

->  hn> One lady even bought a frozen lasagna and
->  hn> then cooked it and took it over...why not
->  hn> just leave it frozen??

-> Some people just know how to read a box instructions.

 hn> And some can't even do that well!

Good grief!  How much effort does it take to follow simple written
directons?

->  hn> Now that the ball season is all but
->  hn> finished, I'll be re evaluating our
->  hn> menu choices and diet plan for
->  hn> the winter. Looks like it will be
->  hn> a blend of south beach, Atkins
->  hn> and diabetic recipes.

-> Sounds interesting. I like some carbs, can't live with a no carb
-> restriction voluntatily. I could if I had to.

 hn> We're staying away from the "starchy" carbs
 hn> like potatoes, squash and corn, and going
 hn> for the non starchy ones like broccoli,
 hn> cauliflower, and cabbage.

Sounds good to me but we like the winter squashes.  BTW, I had some left
over macaroni yesterday so for lunch I made a cheese sauce with about
2/5 smoked gouda, 3/5 sharp cheddar, no mustard in it.  Not enough gouda
to overwhelm in smoke taste but I think I could have cut the oi I put
into the pasta the night before to make it non stick.  Still, attempt #1
was fairly successful.  I'll have to try it with different smoked
cheeses to see how they work. The sauce could have been a bit thicker
too, thinking back on it.
