 I may have to do this very soon! As some of you know, I had a heart attack while deer hunting back in November 2011 at the age of 37. Since that day my cardiologist has been able to regulate my cholesterol with medication. Well, earlier this week I had my annual checkup with him and they did the usual blood draw sample. Yesterday I got news that my bad cholesterol aka LDL cholesterol had gone back into the dangerous category. My cardiologist says I'm already on the maximum dosage he will prescribe so he wants me to start using an injectable medication that I have to inject myself!  Similar to diabetics doing their own insulin shots. Boys, I'm a wuss when it comes to needles! I just can't see myself going this route. To make a long story short I am putting myself on a pretty strict diet to hopefully correct my cholesterol issue. My doctor thinks its a long shot because genetically I'm one of those unfortunate people that has abnormally high cholesterol. This thread made me realize that there still are some really good healthy meals out there and this is one of them. Thanks for reviving this thread Troy!

Dang Matt, that sucks! Hopefully the diet works for you. If you do end up having to go the needle route maybe your wife can help? Gail has to have B12 injections every week and she can do it in a pinch, but it's a lot easier on her to have me do it. I'm a super wuss when it comes to needles and didn't think I would be able to stick her, but after doing it several times it has gotten easier. Good luck to you buddy!

Tried it this evening. It was good but I wasn't too impressed. I don't think anything beats an actual boil!

Dang! I thought for sure it would be really good. Oh well, guess I'll stick to boiling.  |

Happy Father’s Day! Was visiting mom and dad’s and got to talking about our seafood boils and it really got me craving it. Went home and found some shrimp and corn in the freezer. Ran to the IGA but they didn’t have any mushrooms so I decided to try some broccoli in it. Not nearly as good as shrooms but I might try both sometime.  |
