Yep; always associated with the smell of almonds and alcohol.

BTW: I ate out this evening and had the most gorgeous goat-cheese lasagna. It really tasted good. I'll hunt this recipe down.

Monday is our wedding anniversary, and we are trying to decide where to go to dinner to celebrate. What nationality's cuisine should we have? What kind of dishes?

STEAK! (especially since you are limiting things!)

I thought of that... but...

In order to get a really good steak here, you need to get something like Kobe beef. That is always served pre-sliced into bite-sized pieces, and usually cooked right at the table as you eat it, slice by slice. Tasty, but not what I want for a celebration.

If I could get a good T-bone, or Porterhouse, I'd go for it. Unfortunately, they don't serve those cuts. They do serve Fillet Mignon, but it's usually the size of a woman's small powder compact. I need more food!

But what am I limiting?

I thought you were spanked by your Doctor and told to cut a bunch of stuff out?

You mean, that counts for eating out too?!?

(We just won't tell her... "Doctor, I've been good.")

TenQ. I certainly won't tell her, but I have another blood test in 10 days. She's gonna know anyway. Bummer.

I'm trying. Yesterday, at the sushi place, I didn't have any shrimp and only one piece of squid. All the rest were fishies.

Each morning I'm only eating humas, rice, muesli, miso soup, etc., and for dinners 99% veggie. I'll throw some chicken and fish in there during this week. No meat, no eggs, no cheeses, checking everything for its cholesterol numbers... which really bugs me because all the other parts of me check out as perfect. If my body is so healthy, why do I need to worry about numbers?

because they like to drive us crazy? I don't have cholesterol issues, just putting on weight because of surgeries. I'm going on the regime I was on before I got hurt and was actually down below my Basic Training weight. I'll keep in eggs for protein, also I am getting them from a friend, so they are much healthier than mass produced eggs. I'm going as raw as possible with as many things as possible. I think I may even put in an order for some tartare next week. that usually means I need to get 25 pounds, oh well

A cute story from my misspent youth...

I was 17, on a 'first date' with a girl who was part of the "In Crowd" in high school. (I was on the fencing team which is NOT 'in crowd' material. You need basketball or base ball for that.) I had taken her to a really fancy restaurant in NYC, had borrowed 'proof of age' so we could drink, etc., etc. I really wanted to make a good impression on this girl, so when the menu came along, and I didn't recognize ANYTHING, I pretty much panicked. I did see something called 'Steak Tartare' and that was about the only word I recognized on the damn menu, so I ordered that, thinking I was set. Being young and not very worldly, I figured any kind of steak would work.

Then the waiter brought over a plate with what looked to me to be a supermarket sales portion (kind of rounded but molded?) of raw ground beef, with a raw egg sitting in a hollow on top. I freaked. I never ate ANYTHING raw back then, and the idea of raw meat or raw egg almost made me retch! I didn't know what to do!

I didn't want to appear so provincial to my date, but I knew I couldn't put any of this into my mouth, so I looked at it for a moment, looked at the waiter, (who must have recognized the anguish in my eyes) and said "Sorry, but I don't think this is prepared properly. Please have the cook make me something better." He returned with a knowing eye, and a nicely cooked Salisbury Steak, (probably the same meat and egg, just mixed up and broiled,) and never cracked a smile.

The girl never went out with me again anyway.

The nurse told me to stay away from fried food and booze for 48 hours before she took some blood for the insurance company's life insurance test. It worked and my premiums were reduced. You can't possibly get a bad test result from eating steak surely.
