Hi Dale,

 NB> I'll have my cellphone with me, just in case....

 RH> I think cell phones are a "must" for most people now, like keys, ID,
 RH> my albuterol inhaler................

 DS> Gail and I both have a cell phone.  They both are normally turned off,
 DS> except during picnic times and when we need to call home from the car.

We started out with a home phone, no cells when we moved to HI. When we
found out we needed cable to get any decent tv signal, we signed up--and
got a "free" cell phone. Activation, etc was extra. Steve was always
carrying it with him, even tho there were a lot of times I could have
used one. We changed our land line to local calls only, as cell calls
were free on week ends and did most of our long distance calling
then. Finally, we agreed to get one for me, and it "paid" for itself
about 6 weeks later when we were flying back to HI from AZ on 2
different air lines. In GA we decided to see if we could go with just
the cells; we were and have done so here as well.

 DS> My normal threshold for recipes for you is 35 g carb.  In this section
 DS> of my seafood extract, there were very few that low and many at a
 DS> reading of 119 g carb.  I have no idea why so high.

It depends on what other ingredients are in the recipe. This one would
be higher carb because of the phyllo sheets but they're used in small
amounts. If anything has sugar in it, it's high carb. Alcohol is
something else that sends the carb count upward. Often times seafood is
paired with pasta, again the pasta itself is high carb. Depending on
what's in the sauce, the carb count may be high.

The other day I had broiled (they'd been steamed first, then lightly
broiled) shrimp, sides of a mustard potato salad and fine chopped cole
slaw. Also, 2 "onion ring" size/shape hush puppies so the whole meal was
probably in the 50-60 carb range. The hush puppies and potato salad were
the high carb components there.

I'll play around with what's available at a restaurant, picking &
choosing to get a good meal at a decent carb count most of the time.
There have been a few times when I've "blown" the count sky high but
had a really good meal but since things are so well controlled
otherwise, it's not done any long term damage. The blood glucose
reading might be high the next morning, maybe the day after that
(rarely) but then settle back down as I resume my normal eating habits.
