Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A sudden tree or standing stone
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

But it's all those healthy fatty acids that make it look like that and it's a lubricant for your body!So that's why you end up dancing like Tom Bombadil!

Thanks. That's was one of my main 'issues' when I tried Atkins before.

Now THIS is a police car!
The newest car to be used by Italian Police is seen in this photo made available by Italian police

cylinder DOHC four valve V90 5 liter, 500 Hp engine, can reach the top speed of 309 km/h (192
Mph). The car, received by Italian Police as a gift from the Italian car factory, will be used along
highways in southern Italy. (AP Photo/Italian Police)

I've heard of people using other fiber products as well. Some sort of husk in water? I guess it's the...ahem...active ingredient in Metamucil.
Since you're never limited on vegetables with South Beach, I didn't have that problem...but I can see why you might for just the first little bit on Atkins.

Hm...something that turns heads like that is bound to CAUSE trouble rather than help, isn't it? Could cause traffic accidents...
Kewl, though.

I guess they just tie the perps to the back bumper to get 'em down to the station...
Hey, maybe California could use some of these.

You're welcome. It actually says in DANDR that you can have a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks or you can use flaxseed meal. I take that to mean a tablespoon or more of flaxseed meal too, if that's your preference. I would personally take as much flaxseed meal as I needed to keep things going. It's very low in carbs, very high in fiber and has all kinds of things that are good for you...those oils that help your cholesterol and such, you know? My last cholesterol check was 210...so, I'm hoping this will help.

OK we are outta here... going out for some breakfast, then we have a pre-marital counselling session with the pastor. Gotta find out how to resolve conflicts over which movie to watch. ;~D
Then Hair's heading to the beach house for a couple more days while I stay home and take care of the animals.
Later!

See, that's where I differ with Dr. Atkins. He says keep your carbs at less than 20 net, right? Then he says eat a cup of salad veggies loosely packed.
I didn't do that. I did ours by the scale...I weight all our veggies on a postage scale and then enter in into the USDA database by grams of weight...
8 oz of spinach x 28.35 = 226.8g
The database has it in blocks of 100g, so 226.8 divided by 100 = 2.3 rounded. The net carbs for this much raw spinach is only 3.25g.
This is a HUGE amount of raw spinach! Fills a large bowl! Cooked lightly in olive oil, it makes a fair sized dish!

Spinach is just one of the many vegetables I'm using more than I've ever used 'em in my LIFE before. We used to have frozen spinach once in a great while...just boiled with a little vinegar. But it sautees sooo nicely, and it's such a pretty dark green color, and it's GOOD! Have been having it in salads, too, but mostly in stirfry and cooked, like you said, in a little olive oil with other veggies. Usually I cook the others first, then at the end toss in as much spinach as will fit, put a cover on and let it cook three minutes or so.
