==================
Hi Michael,

 RH> He has really improved over the last few months!

 ML> Indeed. We're just going with the flow.

That's the way to go. Better than going against it; that's like petting
a cat from the tail to the head. You raise the cat's dander big time
that way. (G)


 ML>  A while ago, I didn't
 RH> think he would be hanging on much longer but I guess your visits (and
 RH> cooking) have kept him going.

 ML> Others, too. One thing is that unless his taster shuts down,
 ML> and he quits eating, he'll have plenty of sustenance.

Actually putting on weight? Sounds good.


 RH> Now he needs to get out and socialise a bit. (G)

 ML> I agree, but it's up to him. The incontinence issue, though
 ML> intermittent, is very embarrassing.

I could see why.


 ML> I'm amused that you don't count Brussels as greens. Not
 RH> I think of greens as salad stuff. Sprouts are in the non salad,
 RH> veggies category.

 ML> Salad stuff, erk.

Rabbit food is good for more than just rabbits.

 RH> Bananas aren't my favorite fruit but I do eat (half of) one almost
 RH> every day to help the potassium level. Half a medium banana is 15
 RH> carbs, part of a balanced breakfast.

 ML> You could do what I do and keep a shaker of KCl around.

We keep a shaker of half K & half Na Cl on hand. I'm using that in most
of the cooking I do with salt but haven't tried it with bread making
yet.


 RH> I'd rather have the orage juice, don't need the extra fiber as our
 RH> diet is fairly high in it normally.

 ML> Problem is the juice without fiber makes a sugar spike,
 ML> which the whole orange does not.

I know (sigh), I'm not supposed to even have the high pulp juices. Home
squoze, don't know; our juicer makes them high fiber.


 ML> and put a teaspoonful of cayenne into my dish, and it
 ML> wasn't enough
 RH> One teaspoon would have made it plenty hot for me.

 ML> One teaspoon would have been excessive for most. I went to
 ML> a Korean bbq the other day, and my friend Alan asked for the
 ML> Korean hot sauce (something-jang), so a little saucer with
 ML> an ounce or so came out. We and another friend fought over it,
 ML> and we ended up getting 5 saucers for half a pound of meat each.

Lit up the day quite well I presume. (G)

 RH> I know, I'll have to check how much it uses. We use the raw sugar but
 RH> it has almost as many carbs as the refined.

 ML> As far as I have seen tell, it doesn't convey any advantage at all.


No, not really. I've probably had as much sugar sugar (IOW, nothing but
sugar as in cinnamon sugar, tea sugar, etc) since my diagnosis as in 2-3
days before. Yes, I backed off hard & fast but the bad numbers came down
just as fast.
