    True, or wonder if it was accidentally swallowed.

    That's easy - when you notice it gone begin sifting trough the

    No thanks. A couple of years ago I lost part of a filling without realising I did, left a front, upper tooth with sort of a snaggy look.
    I called my dentist's office, was able to get in the next morning and
    now you can't tell which tooth it was.

    I might not be able to. But I'll bet you can. Even in the dark.

    Best thing about being kept overnight at the hospital was ordering a
    ftuit plate with each meal. Grapes, sliced green skin apples, can
    teloups and pineapple wedges.

    So much better than the days when it was "this is what we cooked, eat
    it or leave it", with a small amount cooked with no salt for those on
    low sodium diets.

    If I know I'm going to be in hospital I bring my own salt & pepper. Sodium
    does not affect my blood pressure - contrary to conventional medical thought. But try orfering a tasty meal when the kitchen has been instructed that you
    are on cardiac, diabetic and renal diets. Talk about severely limited lists

    We made mango sorbet (no milk) once for a 3 year old that had such a
    dairy allergy that he'd never had ice cream. You should have seen his
    face light up when he was given a dish of "ice cream" that he could
    eat. Gave his parents the recipe.

    Just came home from a couple of days in hospital after doing a face plant
    on the way to the loo or relieve my bladder. My brother saud I looked as

    They tested me for stroke, cardiac, etc. and finally settled on having

    Title: Dave's Pork-U-Swine Sandwich - Mark II
    Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads
    Yield: 2 Servings

    2 (1/4 lb ea) pork patties
    2 (1/4 lb ea) Italian sausage
    - patties
    6 sl Bacon; cooked crisp
    2 sl White cheese
    2 sl Onion; thick
    2 sl Beefsteak tomato
    2 Lettuce leaves
    2 (6") hamburger buns; toasted
    Mayo, ketchup, mustard, hot
    - sauce, etc.

    Fry the bacon first and reserve. Use the bacon fat
    to fry the patties if using a stove-top grill pan.

    Cook the patties using a George Foreman contact grill
    or a stove-top grill pan.

    Toast the buns on your wide-slot toaster (or a toaster
    oven). Build the sandwich with a lettuce leaf and a
    slice of onion on the bottom of the bun. Top that with
    a sausage patty, then a slice of cheese (I used Havarti
    which worked nicely), a pork patty, a tomato slice, any
    condiments you would like, three slices of bacon and
    the second half of the bun on top.

    Serve with a side of fries or Tater Tots.

    now you can't tell which tooth it was.

    I might not be able to. But I'll bet you can. Even in the dark.

    The dentist did a really good job of blending it in so it is hard (not impossible tho) to tell. Been going to this dentist ever since we moved
    to WF, longest I've had one since childhood.

    When I was first diagnosed with hypertension, we tried a low/no sodium
    diet, found out it didn't affect the b/p at all. Switched back to our
    usual low sodium diet. We think the high b/p was brought on by round the
    clock use of albuterol (on doctor's orders) during one nasty case of bronchitis/atalectasis. Even cutting back on the albuterol didn't lower
    it so I've been on meds for it ever since.

    2 c Slivered almonds
    3 tb Olive oil; divided
    4 Cod filets; 6 - 8 oz ea
    1 c Almond flour
    4 lg Eggs
    Salt & pepper

    In a small cast iron pan, heat 1 TB olive oil over
    medium-high. Add almonds. Saute 6-7 minutes until golden
    brown. Then set aside.

    Meanwhile, heat 1 TB olive oil in a large skillet over
    medium-high (depending on the size of your fish, you may
    need two pans)

    Place flour on a large plate. In a separate shallow
    dish, whisk eggs lightly. Pat both sides of a piece of
    fish in the flour. Then dip in the egg mixture. Place
    fish in the pan. Repeat with other pieces of fish.

    Allow fish to cook until browned on one side (about 4
    minutes). NOTE: It is key to err on the side of
    overcooking. Nothing kills this recipe like flipping the
    fish too soon and losing your coating in the pan!!

    Add additional oil to the pan and flip fish, cooking for
    another 4-5 minutes.

    Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately
    topped with almonds.

    I now seldom need to pick up the "rescue" guy.

    i started with Advair back in 2001; it was a miracle worker for me.
    Between that and a really good pulmonology doctor in HI, my once out of
    control asthma got under control. But, like all things, needs change so
    this past August I was put on Trelegy, one puff every morning. It took a
    while, but now seems to be working quite well (except for the nasty
    taste). I'll be seeing the pulmonology doctor in Raleigh on Thursday,
    get the results of the CT scan I had at the beginning of the month.


    Memorial lets one order as much or as little as wished. Thursday
    evening I opted for a nice chicken salad in wheat bread and a bowl of Jewish Penecillin.

    Sounds good to me.

    This last trip I had something I've never tried before - but6, which I will certainly seek out in the "real world" .... cod almondine.

    It would probably work well with flounder too; that's our fish of choice
    for something like that. Salmon would be a bit too strongly flavored on
    its own, overpowering the other flavors, IMO.

    I like cheese but not always as part of a sandwich, only with certain
    other "fillers". I'll eat a lot of it on the side--and seeing that this
    has 2 pork patties, I'd probably reduce it to one. Two would be enough

    Albuterol is my "rescue" inhaler. I do Advaier (fluticasone/salmeter)
    2 "puffs" per usage, twice a daay. It has helped me considerably since
    I now seldom need to pick up the "rescue" guy.

    i started with Advair back in 2001; it was a miracle worker for me. Between that and a really good pulmonology doctor in HI, my once out of control asthma got under control. But, like all things, needs change so this past August I was put on Trelegy, one puff every morning. It took
    a while, but now seems to be working quite well (except for the nasty taste). I'll be seeing the pulmonology doctor in Raleigh on Thursday,
    get the results of the CT scan I had at the beginning of the month.

    I started on the Advair Discus that required you to rinse your mouth
    after each use Morning and evening. My housemate, Dennis, uses another
    similar product then he gargles. When I hear him sounding like Dame
    Nellie Melba tuning up for an operatic role I know he's taken pne of
    his two daily doses.

    Memorial lets one order as much or as little as wished. Thursday
    evening I opted for a nice chicken salad in wheat bread and a bowl of Jewish Penecillin.

    Sounds good to me.

    This last trip I had something I've never tried before - but6, which I will certainly seek out in the "real world" .... cod almondine.

    It would probably work well with flounder too; that's our fish of
    choice for something like that. Salmon would be a bit too strongly flavored on its own, overpowering the other flavors, IMO.

    Get no argument from me on that. I've got a good fishmonger here and use
    their reciipes/advice and seafood for many a happy meal.

    Just came home from a couple of days in hospital after doing a face
    plant on the way to the loo or relieve my bladder. My brother saud I looked as if I had gone 10 reounds with George Foreman in boxer mode
    not grill mode.

    They tested me for stroke, cardiac, etc. and finally settled on having
    too much CO2 in my blood gasses. Now I have to get used to sleeping
    with a Bi-Pap machine.

    That's going to be fun. I use O2 only when sleeping; if I have to get
    up during the night, the canula comes off until I'm back in bed.

    Actually it's not nearly as much a PITA as I had feared. And I get up
    less during the night. As a guy I can make do with a 'workaround'
    urinal and don't have to make the treek across the house. My O2 hose
    is long enough to get to anywhere indoors without removing it. But
    the BiPap has me on a six-foot leash. Bv)=

    Just don't toss and turn too much, getting wound up in it. (G) I've a
    long hose for the concentrator (We keep it in the hallway to cut down
    on bedroom noise.) so it is run over the top of the doorway, around the back of a dresser and over to the bed. Still enough tubing I could (if
    we had the space) move the machine elsewhere.

    I'd go under the door as that would work better in my situation.

    Title: Dave's Pork-U-Swine Sandwich - Mark II
    Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads
    Yield: 2 Servings

    Looks good enough to pig out on, tho I don't know if I'd put the cheese
    on mine.

    I like the cheese. And it helps to glue the two pork patties together.

    I like cheese but not always as part of a sandwich, only with certain other "fillers". I'll eat a lot of it on the side--and seeing that this has 2 pork patties, I'd probably reduce it to one. Two would be enough
    for 2 sandwiches for me.

    Easy enough, and looks yummy.

    'Twas - which is why I'll start making it on my own. Life is too short
    to eat non-tasry food.

    Here's a flounder thing I learned to make at Robert's Fish Market cooking demo/classes.
