===============
Aloha Ruth!

-> -> I think most of us make our own stock or use the bases. In my listing 
of
-> -> what I have on hand (note to Hap), I forgot to list the veggie stock.
-> -> I've got enough "scrap" on hand to make another couple of gallons of
-> -> that. I add a bit of salt when I make them but most of the seasoning
-> -> comes from a Mrs. Dash type product.
-> 
->  HN> Now veggie stock I do make. When Dale and
->  HN> Gail told me of their "freezer bag" of
->  HN> veggie scraps and making stock from it
->  HN> I started to do the same. When I need
->  HN> to make stock I can!
-> 
-> I did it on a semi regular basis before they wrote up about it, now it's
-> regular. When Steve wanted to brine and smoke a turkey last fall, he
-> needed a gallon of veggie stock. I pulled out a bag & had it going fast;
-> he said it smelled good enough to eat. Then he looked at it and saw it
-> wasn't as appetising--but it made good stock.
->
Yeh, carrot ends and onion bits, and celery tops
don't tend to make the designer dishes magazine!
 
-> ->  DD> salt in the ingredients list ... as well as the amount of salt 
per
-> ->  DD> serving as listed on the fairy tale panel.
-> 
-> -> That's one thing I look for automatically, as well as the carb count.
-> 
->  HN> Yeh...amazing how that carb counting gets
->  HN> to be second nature isn't it. How are
->  HN> your numbers doing?
-> 
-> Morning numbers (since Monday) have been as high as 86 (Monday) and as
-> low as 64 (yesterday). Night time, just before I do the Lantus have been
-> in the low to mid 120s. Insulin was reduced from 30 to 26 units on
-> Monday, an almost 80 point drop in cholesterol & triglycerides from end
-> of May to beginning of August.
->
As your pancreas recovers from
it's damage (as much as it can) you
might find it (insulin) being reduced
even more. 
My numbers are averaging around 
130 according to my A1C. however
they still jump around a lot in 
my daily testing. I'm happy if
I get a fasting number under 150.
 
-> ->  DD> salty and you may need to cut back on salt elsewhere." or 
something
-> ->  DD> very near to that. And this from a person who likes his salt.
-> 
-> -> I cook with very little salt, sometimes none. We've been using a 
product
-> -> that's a combination of Na & K as I tend to run low on K.
-> 
->  HN> We too use very little salt, but
->  HN> while we have some of the "Lite"
->  HN> salt on hand (with the Na+K mix)
->  HN> we seldom use that either.
-> 
-> I grab it more than I sould but have tried to keep use down to a
-> minimum. I used to not salt anything until I found that it does enhance
-> some flavors, just a bit. That was a 180 change from college when I used
-> to sit down in the dining hall & grab the salt shaker.
->
I have a very small (2 TBS) container
on my counter that I put kosher salt
into. Whenever I need just a "pinch"
that's where it comes from.
chat with you soon!
