Ärende: Eating habits (beef) 761
================================
Hi Michael,

 RH> I think lunch is the meal I tend to skip the most and not miss.

 ML> Lunch is best, as it's the first meal where it is permissible
 ML> and customary to ingest large quantities of beef. But if it,

For you, maybe but not for me.  It's rare that I eat a lot of meat at
any meal, last night's lamb chop being an exception.  I should have only
had half tho.  Steve bought a small (table top size) gas grill earlier
in the week so he grilled the lamb which was seasoned with s&p, garlic
powder and herbs de provance.  Sides were a tomato/mozzarella/basil
salad with balsamic vinegar, kasha and (commercial) pickled beets.


 ML> doesn't happen, that's no problem, either. I guess that I have
 ML> become accustomed to large swings in blood sugar through the day.

You might want to think about getting it more level during the day;
swings can be really bad.


 RH> Having a decent breakfast can hold me until supper.

 ML> Having a decent night's sleep can hold me until supper.

I'd rather have a bit of something once I get going, partly to buffer
some of the meds I need in the morning.  Some have to be taken with
food.



 RH> I was surprised; I ate a fair amount at Cortese's and didn't feel too
 RH> stuffed for that hour of the night.

 ML> It seemed relatively light for Italian-American bar food. Not so
 ML> much oil as usual, perhaps?

I don't know; there was quite a bit of butter in my veal picatta.  I saw
it on the plate and then in the take out box when I had it for supper
(unheated) Sunday night.  Had to saute all the garlic that was in it.

 RH> Steve and I agreed that the rosemary
 RH> added flavor that made the lamb better (in our opinion)  than the
 RH> chicken.

 ML> Again, I have to say that lamb spiedies are intrinsically superior
 ML> to chicken; but having spent $26 on a leg of lamb, I didn't want to
 ML> compound the damage by buying two of them ... further, there are

I understand; lamb isn't cheap but it is good. (G)


 ML> those benighted people on this planet (Gail, for example) who prefer
 ML> chicken to lamb. I used part of the savings to buy a little snack
 ML> of raw filet mignon, which Burt and I shared (he was a gentleman

Treat time!


 ML> and took only an ounce or two). Hmm ... what would you have thought
 ML> if the chicken spiedies had rosemary, too?

Probably would have liked them better but still not quite as much as the
lamb. THe lamb "fit" the dish better.


 ML> On the other hand, my record is having 3 1500+ Calorie meals
 ML> in the space of an evening the day I graduated from university:
 RH> And how many Tums or Rolaids? One meal would have been enough for me
 RH> but three?

 ML> I sometimes claim - when I haven't been reminded otherwise by
 ML> eating pizza or ice cream - that I have a cast-iron constitution.
 ML> At that point it was really true. I felt very stuffed and very
 ML> logy after the third dinner - the first was at a long-defunct
 ML> fancy place called Voyagers, the second courtesy of the director
 ML> of the Bureau of Study Counsel, and the third, well, I'm hazy on
 ML> the third, but I think it involved classmates I wasn't going to
 ML> see again soon and who liked Italian food. Didn't know about Tums

And being young enough to have a bit higher metabolism no doubt.  I used
to eat a lot more than I do now at meals but now I get more doggie bags
when eating out.


 ML> or Rolaids until it was represented to me that I should get more
 ML> calcium. Once in a while, I did use bicarb (causes spectacular
 ML> burps), but that was more likely owing to the effects of
 ML> overindulgence in other things.

Could be but those have been around for years.  It's only in the last
10-15 years that they've been touted for increasing a calcium intake.


 RH> I try to drink fair amount of liquid in a day; most of it being plain
 RH> water. But, I'm starting every day with a cup of tea, no matter what
 RH> else I have for breakfast.  You saw that was the first thing I had
 RH> after the migraine; it helped clear the remnants out.

 ML> On your typical day I'll throw down a couple glasses of water,
 ML> my liquid intake perhaps augmented by a beer or two or some wine,
 ML> but if I don't get any of these things, my system doesn't seem
 ML> to suffer. I've gone days, eating regular meals, without a
 ML> beverage of any kind, especially if the meals had a bit of
 ML> liquid in them (stews, e.g., or spaghetti).

I think it's a hanger-oner from when we lived in AZ  and pushing a
higher liquid intake was the norm.  We were always told to drink before
you got thirsty to avoid problems associated with a low fluid intake.

I think I snagged this the first time around as "interesting, maybe I'll
give it a try if I ever find lamb" recipe.
