Hi Dave,

 DD> I expect gummint to be my servant .... what I get .........

 RH> You should know better by now. (G)

 DD> I know - getting everyday useful information from some gummint
 DD> documents is about as satisfying as dipping soup with a fork.

Some soups are thick enough to eat with a fork. Steve puts enough
crackers into most of his that the spoon stands upright. But, he still
eats it with the spoon, not a fork.


 DD> But, seriously, agencies like USDA, NIH, etc. tend to over-analyse
 DD> things so that they can look busy without doing any actual work.

 RH> They aren't the only ones that do. Truth be told, I think all of us
 RH> have done the same thing at least once in our lives.

 DD> When I worked for the Illinois Department of Agriculture I didn't do
 DD> "busy work" nor require my workers to do so. The regular bureaucraps
 DD> couldn't seem to get a grip on that attitude. I once told the director
 DD> of the department that when the work was all caught up we were going
 DD> to do a Beetle Bailey.   Bv)=

You're one of the exceptions to the above rule then. You didn't even
take a break to stretch your legs, relax your eyes, etc?

 RH> Likes, dislikes, and foods that pucker. Actually, there is one form of
 RH> cranberry that I do like--craisins.

 DD> I likes craisins, too. They go great in date-nut oatmeal and such.

 RH> I could, but won't, eat them by the hand fulls. Same with raisins.

 DD> Me neither - that would be over-kill. But, they do make a nice accent.

 RH> Over kill literally, as they're high carb and can send an uncontrolled
 RH> diabetic into major problems.

 DD> Lots of stuff that causes problem for uncontrolled diabetics. One of

Good reason to work at it. My brother said not only is his blood sugar
out of control but his platelet level is low, no matter how they've
tried to bring it up. He looked jaundiced in May--something was going on
then that probably contributed to what happened last month. As of last
night, he'd not yet met with a dietitcian either.

 DD>       Title: Chipotle Peach-Glazed Chicken
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Fruits, Chilies
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

 DD>     1/2 ts Salt
 DD>     1/4 ts Ground black pepper
 DD>     1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
 DD>   2 1/2 lb Chicken thighs; skinned *
 DD>     1/3 c  Peach preserves
 DD>       2 tb White wine vinegar
 DD>       3 ts Chopped chipotles in adobo

 RH> Looks good--and zingy! (G)

 DD> Just a little zippy. The peaches (or apricots) really set things off.

But being preserved peaches or apricots, the carb factor goes up also.
My number have been bouncing around the past couple of months; I want to
get them consistant within a certain range so will be watching carbs
(dense vs light, ratin to protein, etc) a bit closer.
