What's for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner?

diet Caffeine free Pepsi, and some almonds.

Off with your head.

I thought that would get his attention...

I woulda said "aroused" but there are just too many lascivious minds 'round these parts... :roll: :oops:

Yesterday, I got news that I failed my cholesterol test (it was multiple choice... I do better on essays), so I'm watching things a little more.

Ugh. LDL, HDL, triglycerides, or all of the above?

I only passed the triglycerides (I borrowed the notes from devildeac before taking that test). Overall cholesterol wasn't good, HDL could be much better, but the bad one was LDL... 171. I think I need some Roto-rooter for my blood vessels.

In lieu of Roto-Rooter, I'll be on Zocor.

On the bright side, I have great blood pressure, and I don't have diabetes.

I've been lucky so far. My LDL is not so good, but my HDL and triglycerides are good enough that I haven't had to go on meds ... yet.

Dinner was roasted eggplant with marinara and Mozarella, grilled chicken breasts, potato salad and a garden salad with roasted almonds and ranch dressing.

I might be worried if you were wearing the green jacket.

So far no puppies have died. ;)

And you'll need 60 minutes 'round the 'hood with Georgia every day...
The HDL can be raised with:
1. smoking cessation
2. a regular exercise program
3. medication AND...
4. mild/moderate alcohol consumption (I'm talkin' 1-2 drinks/day and no, folks, that's not one 750 ml bottle of wine/beer or a fifth of liquor per day :roll: )

Rule out #1... never touched the stuff.

As for #2, Georgia and I are starting to get into a routine of two 45-minute walks each day. As for the alcohol consumption, guess I better check the stores for O'Fallon and Schlafly brews.

As a moderator, it might make sense to move this into a new health thread, in lieu of hijacking this food thread.

Breakfast: Bloody Marys (Pepper Vodka, Mrs. T's, fresh cracked pepper, chopped celery leaves, juice from a jar of pickled jalapenos, copious dashes of Texas Pete), omelet with havarti cheese and a mushroom medley, and a side of bacon.

Lunch: Cold pizza (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions) and roasted tomatoes with fresh basil, blue cheese and balsamic.

Dinner: BBQ Chicken (Lemon pepper dry rub then marinated in some Mothership Wit. Smoked for an hour and then grilled/finished with Sweet Baby Rays), grilled corn and baked beans.

Lunch was sloppy joe sandwiches with sweet tea. Christian had 2 hot dogs and a coke.

Sorry, first thing I thought of.

Had some friends drop by tonight. So instead of leftover pork we just ordered a couplea pizzas.

1. I knew that
2. Walks are great.
3. Legal/prescription drug is covered
4. Great Lake, Goose Island need to be included.

Nah, food=health. Plus, my recliner is too comfortable... :roll:

I just looked at that the other day. Still hilarious.

[Lavabe]

Home fries with green peppers and ham (or was it green ham and peppers?), oatmeal, and a nectarine.

[CameronBornAndBred]

I hadn't read Miles' post from yesterday until I just sat down, but like minds again.
My breakfast is a Bloody Mary. It has celery in it.

[CathyCA]

Breakfast was a banana and hot tea.

[CathyCA]

Lunch was a potluck at church.

I had broccoli salad, three bean salad, cheesy potato casserole, silver queen corn on the cob, butter beans, a slice of the quiche I made, and a thin slice of caramel pound cake with caramel frosting.

YUM! Church potlucks. Food prepared by talented southern cooks. I am happy.

[DukeUsul]

breakfast: homemade banana pancakes, real maple syrup, bacon and coffee

[DukeUsul]

lunch: leftover pizza

[DukeUsul]

dinner: We're bringing dinner in to the Duke Chapel tonight to feed the Duke Lutheran student group. I did tons of stuff with the group as a student and now we're members of the church that supports them. Will be good to give back. We're bringing in tacos.

[Devil in the Blue Dress]

Breakfast was a bowl of cereal.... I like to mix two kinds... this week it's Kashi Autumn Wheat and Post Cranberry Almond Crunch topped off with sliced banana and lots of milk. Had a cup of vibrant dark roast coffee shortly after I got up.

Lunch was a sandwich made of sliced roast chicken breast (the one marinated with a citrus marinade), Romain lettuce on honey wheat bread toasted and spread lightly with Helmann's Mayo (light) on one slice and Ken Steak House Dressing Country French dressing (light) on the other. On the side, half of a very large juicy, sweet Pink Lady apple followed by a glass of milk.

Don't know what supper will bring. Our family gets together to go out for Sunday supper, so it depends on where we end up eating.

[Lavabe]

Bagel (well, Thomas' everything), cream cheese, tomato, leftover grilled chicken.
Two no sugar added blueberry applesauces, apple, pluot, almonds, and peanuts.

[devildeac]

Breakfast: OJ, asiago cheese bagel with plain low-fat cream cheese and my homemade latte.
