Apropos of fooding & attempting to cut down on simple carbs, I bought a microwave omelette pan, organic egg whites, bagged grated cheese, and a shitload of veggies. I brought it all in to work and have been making omelettes that are chock-full of healthy veggies and relatively cheap. The cheese is my downfall in my attempt to make it low-fat, but I console myself with the thought that I'm getting a lot of dairy. It's pretty tasty, all things considered.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Apparantly, it's rather risky to be a Buffista's sister....

When you say ridiculously high triglycerides....what range are you talking about? Without meds, DH's numbers are in the thousands, like 3500. He insists that dietary changes don't help him so he is on the max dose of his cholesterol meds.
I used to try to work with him to make dietary changes and encourage him to reduce his med load, but he is so stubborn, I have given up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't remember the exact numbers. I'm on meds and dietary changes. With my family history -- mother had double bypass at 39, uncle died of a heart attack at 35 -- and the fact that my cholesterol has been at least moderately high since I was about nine, my doctor and I decided that meds for my triglycerides were a good idea, starting when I was about 19. Even with the meds, my triglycerides definitely fluctuate (within the normalish zone) depending on how well I'm eating.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
juliana, I discovered low fat cream cheese or a little bit of feta still gives me cheese without huge amounts of fat.
I refuse to live in a world without cheese.

Ugh. The political calls are rolling in.

Last night, I was bombarded with all the Yes/No proposition ads.

I vote 'Yes' on P-C being awesome!

My area code is a N.O. one. No political calls! Probably helps me stay excited about voting.
