Oh no, Typo Boy! This has been a rough couple of months. I'm sorry. Hope it works out easily and in the meantime doesn't give you much trouble.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yikes, Typo! Surgery ~ma.

I'll go for the quick pain-relief~ma for now, Typo. Everything else falls into place once the pain is dealt with.
I always rinse my beans, not for the sodium, but to help reduce gaseous emissions. I've been buying no salt garbanzos for a while, but I haven't noticed that any other beans offer no salt options. I may have to start paying closer attention.

Does it help if you rinse?
Seconding Typo Boy's yes. I had that conversation during a consult with a dietician regarding the menu at one of the houses I work at. She said it can cut as much as 50%. Re: canned tomato products - read every damn label on every damn can. It can vary widely. Some "crushed" or "puree" varieties come across with 15-30mg sodium per 1/4 c. serving. Dei Fratelli tomato puree is the one I can count on. In addition to Mrs. Dash, McCormick's has a nice line of no-salt-added seasoning blends. Balsamic vinegar and lime juice are two of my low-sodium kitchen best friends.
Back~ma, Teppy.
Speedy relief~ma to you, Typo Boy.
Happy birthday, Hec! (even though we hardly ever see you in here lately)

I used these canned tomatoes link for tomato sauce. They have some sodium in them naturally but no salt is added. My biggest problem with sodium in my diet is cheese, which has a lot of sodium and which I love way too much.

Typo, ugh. I am sorry! I have a friend who has a cyst on his back that will not die. They are ouch, and it's an easy, though nasty-smelling, process to get them cleaned, but they are pernicious.
I am kinda of grossly fascinated by cysts. How can so much come out of something so relatively little? I blame Tosh.0.

Typo, I'm sorry you have to deal with this right now. All sorts of ~ma to you.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Condolences on your loss, Typo Boy. We shall all miss the cyst.

Typo, sheesh. That totally bites.
I am practicing shopping without buying. Yesterday I wandered around a thrift shop for over half an hour, and didn't get anything. I just looked at shorts on Sierra Trading Post (I do need shorts - I have two pairs and they're both green) but ended up closing the browser. Mindfulness. Amazing how often it factors in.
And now my timer tells me that I've spent 45 min on the computer, so I'm going to go do some things from my actual to do list. I'm a little worried by how content I am to not have a job and just sleep, putter around the house, and hang with friends. Actually, I've always been that way. Hopefully I can find a job I like.
