This would be good for you and I wanted one in Sasebo for a time but couldnt
find one thin enough for the sidewalks while they are too fat and slow for
the main roads i had to go along.

They work well. Have one on each side and balance the load between them.
Also, a front roomy backet is a good idea. Trick it out with several battery
headlights and a battery tail light (or 2) then put reflectors on the spokes
so you show up well from the side. I also had small rear-view mirrors on the
handles so I could easily see behind me.

The motor if like I think it is, can augment you when pedaling uphill.
Thats the downside of the 3 wheel ones. Hard to walk them up a steep hill at
need.

Some do I think but this one is the 'not fancy cook'. A bit challanged
seeming when a 'fancy cook' enters in and needs help. Alot of what I've done
there is take a favored recipe one of them posts, and come up with
alternatives I think will work then post them back to the dietician to
verify. I get the occasional 'I have no idea' because I use something
strange (galingal etc) but mostly she seems to find it and is able to post
back the data in nutritional format.

Oh, that she's very good at. This is a *closed* list. I am not allowed to
crosspost anything from it for example. Each patient has an ID number she
has issued to them which they have to add to the subject line of every post
and if I reply to another's post, I have to add their ID and 'regards ID
####' to my subject line. Only generic posts of recipes to 'Diabetics' etc
carry no ID number. Also, no more than 1 query or recipe allowed per post.
All recipes are posted to her, and if she agrees that they match the
patient's ID, she replies with 'validated for ID ####' (and may add and for
all patients with xxxxx who have no other special needs' in the first line of
text). Her level of knowledge on what's 'ok' for each patient is
impressively high. If she cant validate a recipe within 24 hours, she posts
a 'hold while i validate' message.

This works well and was one of the suggestions. He is thankfully *not* salt
restricted below 1500mg a day. He has to watch the fats (not sure why and
non of my business) but he can have some for flavoring.

Actually she validated 'bacos' in his case as long as he uses a teaspoon and
measures. He's allowed 1 ts a day. Since that came back, I've sent him some
ideas using them to make things taste more 'meatarian'. He's got a brand
that he says tastes good to him and it's flavored TVP in part mixed with
actual bacon?

I'll suggest it! Using mustard mostly as he's not allowed much mayo. (eggs
are protein high).
This one looks likely?
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
Title: German Potato Salad
Categories: Salads, Low-fat, Tnt
Yield: 6 Servings
3 c Diced cooked potatoes
-(16 oz raw)
1/2 c Finely chopped celery
2 1/2 ts Dried parsley flakes
1/2 c Chopped white onion
3 tb Hormel Bacon Bits
2/3 c Water
1 tb All-purpose flour
1/4 c Vinegar
2 tb Sugar Twin or Sprinkle Sweet
1/4 ts Prepared mustard
In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, celery, and 2 teaspoons parsley
flakes. Set aside. In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored
cooking spray, saute onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add
bacon bits and continue cooking 1 minute, stirring often. In a
covered jar, combine water, flour, vinegar, Sugar Twin, remaining 1/2
tsp parsley flakes, and mustard. Shake well to combine. Stir flour
mixture into onion mixture. Continue cooking, stirring often, until
mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour hot sauce
mixture over potatoes. Mix gently to combine. Serve warm or cold.

I found this recipe recently in Joanna Lund's _The Diabetic's Healthy
Exchanges_ and was very pleased when I tried it. Don't let the idea
that it comes from a diabetic recipe book scare you. It tastes great
and the substitutes don't give it an inferior taste, you can be sure,
or I wouldn't recommend it. The only thing you might want to add is a
little salt and basil.
