I eat very healthily.
2 to 4 pieces of fruit each day
not counting strawberries in the cereal
or daily cranberry juice or the apple crisp
I have ten ounces of cranberry juice and
6 ounces of milk every morning with corn
flakes and cheerios.
Four times a day I drink three glasses of
tap water as if it were medicine. [I don't
like water.]
The breads I make are almost always multi-
grain sourdoughs. [We don't care for wimpy
bread.] I'm a bread junky. So are all the
kids and grandkids; it's in the genes.
We are not vegetarians, but we eat mostly
non-meat dishes, rarely other than made
from scratch. Stews, soups, burritos,
ratatouille, salads, chilies filled with
ricotta, cheese and spices, [factory] pasta
with fresh sauce and shrimp, etc.
Peanut butter & jam sandwiches for lunch.
Cooking is with olive oil and butter.
Not enough fish [Betty doesn't like it.]
Not enough baked beans. Betty doesn't like
the side effects, but I'd kill for her
baked beans, made with salt pork and maple
syrup [Anything from a tree is obviously a
health food.]
It's the season to make some Indian Pudding,
another health food.
Before my blocked spinal branch artery zapped
me, my eating was rather unhealthy.
Lord, how I blather.

Two months before my transverse mylopathy, my
cholesterol was 270, direct LDL 266 [i.e., nil
HDL], and the triglyceride 168 [more than three
times the current level.]
