Re: Re: Francisco and Robynn

[Guest guest]

Hey Bren Bren, question for you. First of all,

congrats on making the progress that you have and for

acknowledging the things that you have endured. I am

proud of you. Second, I am not worried about you and

your outcome because I know that you are going to make

it.

Third, I saw you mentioned you had a hotdog. I am not

being the food police but I know they said to never

eat that stuff. Did you remove the skin and if not,

did it settle well with you. I know that you are so

much further out than I am but I was just curious. I

know they say don't eat a lot of stuff and it is for

our own good and I follow the rules. However, I was

just wondering when I see people try something if it

really bothered them? Just inquiring.

I have been cooking on the grill every weekend and

hotdogs are one of the foods that I loved pre surgery

and boy I wish I could just have a bite. That was the

reasoning for the inquiry. If its okay, the next

time, I might just try a little piece. lol

Pam, I know you don't think you like seafood...but if you grill...have you ever grilled shrimp on a skewer with a little bit of melted butter, garlic and lemon? It really is greaaatttt. That's what I had this weekend at the cancer relay fundraiser. I could only eat two of them...but they were great.Pamela A Marsh wrote:

If I was going to eat one it would be Healthy Choice or Turkey, If you know what was really in allot of the hot dogs I bet you would pass all together. There are healthier options.

Caryl, you are so right about healthier options and I

think that I will be just as content with the chicken

or as much of the grilled burger as my pouch can hold.

We need these little reminders to help keep us on

track and I thank you truly.
