I can't wait to get the photos. scanned or physical.

I do what's called crisscross at times. So like, whether a person likes John Edward or not, well sometimes he'll get stuff or pictures and it turns out it's somehow related to a person 3 seats over or a neighbor that a person knew of something similar going on he was talking about.

It wouldn't hurt to provide 2 photos. One of yourself/one of mom. It's up to you. But I know what it's like NOT to sleep and I'd rather get the right info across properly.

I also have Skype w/vid-cam. I don't like to use it but I will get better at it once I at least try.

O know this is about "Typical menu" but I have a hard time finding my way back to subjects.

Ps. My menues typically consist of very little carbs, but enough I'm content, Tilapia, wild grain rice and fresh farmer's market produce when I can get it. Turkey, pickles and cheese.

I've done the multi-grain breads and frankly they stink!

However, those are ones I've purchased. I bake my own breads so I'm thinking I can do a heck of a lot better than that and while I'm on the subject...I'm not completely sold on the "gluten-thingy." Looking into it though...feels more like a 50-50 fad or something.

Feel free to send an email though until you get the photo's.

Elleise.....I have enjoyed Pepperidge Farm Farmstand 12 Grain Bread. Now I have a loaf of Arnold Oatnut bread and I like this one too. I agree though, some whole wheat and other grain breads are terrible. Bitter, dry, and just not appetizing.

I usually start the day with tea or cocoa, then I have eggs, cereal, oatmeal, a granola bar, grilled cheese sandwich, or a peanut butter sandwich. On occasion buckwheat or regular pancakes, or whole grain toast. Sometimes I like leftovers from the night before. For lunch I will have tuna or chicken, often in a sandwich. I eat fruit and veggies during the day......kale, spinach, garlic, onions, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, peaches, bananas, clementines, watermelon, beans, and more. I like grilled chicken on a ceasar salad. For dinner I will have a small amount of chicken or another meat with veggies. Sometimes just a pile of veggies sauteed in olive oil makes a meal for me, even just a sweet potato that's been cooked in the microwave then cut open and drizzled with olive oil and black pepper. Sometimes I eat my greens with a squeeze of fresh lemon.

I do like my carbs but I try to limit them. Sometimes a baked sweet treat, but I do like whole wheat pasta and occasionally I will have rice or potatoes.

I do not have a webcam so we cannot do that. I should be able to finish that disposable camera in August or maximum in September, where we get our pictures developped they always do that in less than one week. There's a bunch of pictures that will be taken during the next two weeks.

I only eat white bread, I hate other kinds. I did get a bread machine with my air miles but I still have not used it. I should, it would cost less for bread and we could get fresh bread at the same time.

Next time I'll send an email (i maybe have 1 from you...i just went into my inbox and have 69 emails...your comment was the first email waiting for me haha...that email account has a funny name but its full of technical problems ).

Today I had grape juice and Pepsi with three toasts (with fresh bread), chocolate ice cream, white uncooked potatoes fried in vegetable oil and butter, mini cupcakes with icing, a vegetable and beef cup-a-soup and salted peanuts.

Your menu sounds about like mine! The peanut butter, I can't understand that, but for the protein maybe. I get cravings just for like a square of fresh (good) grain bread and just a bit of peanut butter.

The eggs, oatmeal...I've gotten to where I just grab a handful or pinchful and that's enough. I do what people call "grazing?"

Didn't know it was even official, but my body says it wants this or that and I just grab a nib of it, even dark chocolate.

Good topic!

Nancy,

If you ever feel like using it, let me know and I can give some great recipes!

The smell alone is worth it and you can even make your own croutons.

I'm low carb, but I always have to have that fix every now and then. Otherwise it builds up and I'll eat an entire gondola and 1/2. Oh about 2 feet long, lol

Today I had grape juice and Pepsi with two toasts (with yesterdays freh bread), chocolate ice cream, white uncooked potatoes fried in vegetable oil and butter and white rice with tomato paste.

Nancy.....it seems that you eat the same foods all the time. Have you thought about changing things up a little bit and maybe making some healthier choices? You can start slow with adding some fresh fruit and colorful vegetables to your diet. They are a great source of vitamins, and they will give you energy.
