===================
Hi Dave,

 DD> up the journey toward the conclusion. As for Georgia, she's the only
 DD> sister I have ...

 RH> I take my health seriously; I've several issues that get monitored on a
 RH> very regular basis. AFAIK, I'm the only one of my siblings that does
 RH> see a doctor on a regular basis; I think the others do only in case of
 RH> emergencies.  I'm also the only one of my siblings that goes with a
 RH> whole grains, lower salt, little sugar and please watch the fats diet.

 DD> I just figure that life is a journey so I am going to enjoy the ride.
 DD> No one (as far as I know) gets out of here alive. So, other than

I'm enjoying it but want to make sure I can enjoy it as long as I can.


 DD> "normal" maintenance of the old body I don't worry too much. The only

Normal maintainence for me is a bit more work than it used to be.

 DD> reason I even use Lite-Salt (50-50 mix of potassium chloride and
 DD> sodium chloride) is because I got a container on a deep discount. I

I use seasalt but on a limited basis.


 DD> don't worry about fats and the like. I do eat whole grain breads -
 DD> because they have actual taste ... as opposed to Wonder Bread (If it's
 DD> good bread, it's a Wonder) type stuff.

They definately beat the taste of white bread.  Doesn't take much. (G)

 DD> There are many, many, many cakes out there. Almost as many as there
 DD> are people making them. The one I posted is one which is one of the
 DD> better "dump and stir" examples. Even though Dave Sacerdote (where has
 DD> he been lately) would call it too "Sandra Lee" it works very well.

 RH> I like that name for the method. I've used cake mixes from time to time
 RH> for specific reasons but would rather (and usually) do a cake from
 RH> scratch.

 DD>  I'm capable of it and have done so in past. But, I don't make many
 DD> desserts. Usually the only time I make a pie, cake, or cookies is to
 DD> take somewhere that I have been invited for dinner, etc.

We go fairly easy on them for the most part.  They're not a 'must" as I
was raised (and my parents still do) at lunch and supper.

 DD>       Title: Flourless Chocolate Cake
 DD>  Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
 DD>       Yield: 1 Cake

 DD>      14 oz Baking chocolate
 DD>      14 tb Unsalted butter
 DD>   1 1/2 c  Sugar
 DD>      10 lg Eggs; separated
 DD>       1 tb Grand Marnier *
 DD>       1 tb Vanilla extract

 RH> I had a piece of one of these years ago while we were in Frankfurt; it
 RH> was good. Quite easy to do as well.

 DD> This is the first one I saw that asked for booze (or substitute) in
 DD> the ingredients. I've made flourless cakes a few times ... after the
 DD> first they were fairly successful - if pretty fudgy. Especially if you
 DD> put walnut or pecan halves on top.

I like having a sub listed if available. Saves my hunting down a "well,
this might work" sort of thing.

 DD>       Title: Honey Whole Grain Bread
 DD>  Categories: Breads, Cheese, Nuts
 DD>       Yield: 16 Servings

 DD>       3 c  Unbleached flour

OTOH, I would use whole wheat flour here.

 DD>       1 c  Cottage cheese
 DD>       4 tb Butter
 DD>     1/2 c  Honey
 DD>       2 lg Eggs
 DD>   2 1/2 c  Whole wheat flour
 DD>     1/2 c  Regular rolled oats
 DD>     2/3 c  Chopped walnuts

Otherwise looks pretty good.
