Got my labs back today
Got the results on my latest labs today. My A1C was 5.1. That's up 0.1 from the last 2 labs but within the margin of error. Not bad for a 70 year old T2 not taking diabetes meds. Especially since a month ago I finished a 2 week :"Eat and Drink Your Way through Europe" tour. Think ordering low carb at McDonald's is hard,…

Most recipes seem to stick to olive oil. My question: if one were to make a a toastless BLT would it make sense to slather it with mayo made from bacon…

Morning chuckle
Let me set the scene. The TV weatherman was trying to reassure me that we would not set any more cold temperature records this week while I prepared breakfast for myself and my wife and tried to get on the outside of a large mug of coffee with coconut oil as rapidly as possible. In the pan were bacon, mushrooms, cream…
