Scurvy. Pellagra. Rickets.
Pellegra was the curse of poor Southerners who ate locally, when their diet was grits, cornbread, pork products and occasional greens.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Dinner tonight was shrimp sauteed in butter and garlic, with basil and chive, served over linguine, with diced tomatoes. Yum.
I'm not sure I got everything quite right, but it's still pretty good. I'm glad to have the kitchen to myself, but my technique still needs critiquing and refining, so it sucks now cooking in a vacuum.

Come cook for me! And who could imagine I'd have said that sentence five years ago, huh?
The trick with shrimp is to not overcook them. In and out quickly. If they totally curl up they get tough.
Back to the Garden of Eatin'
And we've got to get ourselves back to the Gaaaaaaaaaarden!
I didn't know regular yogurt had HFCS in it! What the hell, Yoplait.
I knew things were getting really bad a couple of years ago when I bought some Diet Orange Crush and the second ingredient was HFCS.
Went food shopping tonight, took far too long. Found a teriyaki sauce whose FIRST ingredient was HFCS!! Crazy!! It is very difficult to go completely HFCS + PHO free. It's in everything. I try. I also try to keep salt intake down. Never 100%. But I try.
So an I right in remembering HFCS is thanks to corn lobbying putting tax on sugar to make HFCS cheaper?
Sean, sorry, but I might've missed something. Did S move to Texas??
Yes. She's in Texas now. Two weeks.
Wow. She's been gone two weeks, or she'll be back in two weeks? Either way, glad you're getting some wonderful and much-needed breathing space.
Sean, it sure is good to see you. I hope the process of releasing the burdons that have been weighing you down is not too arduous, that you get to have more fun and ease than you expect.
