Oh, I feel MUCH better. Energy levels are up. I sleep better. I just was having a moment. I cooked up sprouts tonight instead of noodles and they were good too. I had a different kind of sprouts with lunch. I'm experimenting with all sorts of produce items. It's actually kind of fun in a sick sort of way. I'm running the marathon that someone else mentioned and I'll do really well in the race, but I'll have some times where I don't feel like running anymore. I'm hoping that makes me relatively normal. -- ~Donna A~ http://diabetesandme.wordpress.com/ http://www.thesewingdictionary.com

I'm hoping that makes me relatively normal. Good for you! The produce thing is very rewarding, actually. If you put a bunch of thick sliced summer squash, peppers, onions, fennel, scallions, eggplant, etc. in a container with lots of olive oil, salt and pepper and grill them, they make a great side dish at room temp with a meal, a REALLY great addition to a cheese rollup (low carb wraps from Toufayan) and great omelette filling with a slice of cheese or without. When I make a baked shrimp, olive, tomato and feta dish meant to be served over pasta, we have it over a bed of sauteed spinach, a lb for each of us, since each lb cooks down to about a cup. Spaghetti squash and French style string beans can be a bed for Thai curry, but I just eat that out of a bowl, like soup. Our summer meals are, more often than not, a big plateful of mixed baby greens with goat cheese, nuts, olives, maybe some dried cranberries and topped with marinated and grilled chicken breast or salmon or other fish. Sometimes we have it with pesto and shrimp. Some folks use a peeler to make shreds of zucchini as a pasta substitutes, but that's too watery for me, even sauteed. The best of all is fauxtatoes; soft cooked (I nuke it) cauliflower pureed with butter, salt and pepper, or better yet, Boursin cheese, a whole package per head of veggie. Susan
From: krom on 1 Aug 2008 01:20 I have been watching martin yans china last several weeks on pbs and i notice that alot of the true small villiage chinese dishes used uncooked shreeded cabbage or lettuce as the holder of the sauces instead of the rice one might expect..i used to eat at a place that served its spicy beef over a bed of shredded nappa cabbage and i loved it so im gonna stat trying that more in my dishes...im thinking things like hamburger cooked with cream of mushroom soup served over it instead of rice or noodles would be delicious.
