I'm on a diet.

Trying to lose 200 pounds of ugly fat.

It isn't working.

My wife refuses to give me a divorce....

I make everything from scratch, too, being a cook. It's GOOD to have a live-in chef. ;)

And there isn't any comparison between homemade mayo made with yard eggs and the store-bought canola/chemical emulsion.

*ahgg*...no way, Oatmeal or cream of wheat & toast
one egg / two (hot sage :) sausage patties.

[JRandomFreeper]

I've lost 600 lbs on that diet. I can give you the number for a good lawyer if you like. ;)

Actually if you balance your sugar, the donut, with protein, the bacon and hamburger patty,you will keep your blood sugar more stable than if you eat them separately.

Mmmmmmm......yummy.

Oh yeah. I went to culinary school specifically to make it easier for me to cook for MrR. It came in handy when I was in grad school, because I could do catering on the side, and I was one of the class stars, but the real reason was to become more efficient in the kitchen and in making things from scratch.

My father was real Le Cordon Bleu (Paris) and a fairly well known resort chef, my mother’s grandfather was a cook with Barnum & Bailey Circus. circus before opening his own restaurant, so cooking runs in the family (both sides).

We joke that MrR is my built-in sous chef.

Good fat from healthy animals doesn’t make you fat. It doesn’t give you diabetes. Sugar and grains do.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Stick to kid’s cereals then.

[JRandomFreeper]

Sugar and grains do.

Only if you have the right genetics.

As the little woman said, deen never cooked a desert that did not have a cup and a half of sugar and at least one stick of butter. Woman was a sugar eating fool.

Shiver.... My internship was bad enough in Texas. Some of my chef instructors were old farts that had done the european internships and lived and worked there.

They told stories that gave nightmares.

But it is good to be able to look at a garden, squirrels in the trees, and be able to put together a meal in your mind.

I eat local (mostly), I eat fresh, and I eat in season. Late spring is always mexican and italian, because that's when the 'maters and basil and cilantro are at their best.

I don't cook desserts without a couple of cups of sugar and a stick or two of butter either.

And most times, it's soaked in bourbon.

But that's a once a month thing that gets eaten over week, and half gets tossed after it gets mouldy.

Anybody that sits down and eats the entire recipe in one sitting is likely to die early.

But some can with no real effect.

People are different, genetically, on what their body handles.

Did someone say bacon?

[TalBlack]

No more pork chops with cheddar and bacon grits?

“This kind of food is unhealthy not just for diabetics, but for everybody,” Johnson said.

No it isn’t. The gluttony thing is unhealthy.

[southern rock]

Pork chops, cheese and grits are NOT inherently bad.

That is an insane statement. All animal protein is a known cause of cancer. Humans require fats, true, but from plant based sources such as avacados, olives, and nuts.
