Chris,
I have been eating Stir Fry chicken & vegetables regularly and I have lost weight. It's amazing that I'm learning to cook. I've always been a Cooking Show fan, but never had the motivation until now.
I hope your doing good and having better weather than we have had!

Joe,
I think that I can cook your Cordon Blue Chicken, but bring the calories and fat down.
Substitute Swiss Cheese with Low Fat Cheese.

Substitute Ham with Turkey Ham

Substitute Heavy Cream with a mixture of Nonfat Milk. 2 tablespoons of cornstarch & 1 tablespoon of flour.

I'll let you know if it is OK!

Chris,

The green veggie was the last of the green beans from our garden. Steamed them and tossed them with a little butter, garlic powder and Lowrey's Seasoning Salt. EXCELLENT! We had a bumper crop this season and put lots of them in the freezer and gave away as many as we kept. Sorry to see them gone, but they were a treat on a very cold day in Cleveland. I have served broccoli with this and wild rice as well. Okra? Yuk!!!!! Takes a special constitution to eat that veggie. Double Yuk! If anyone leaves okra on my doorstep, at least I know where to send it...Overnight Express!!! LOL

Joe

Doug,

Hope your "modifications" turns out good. Be sure to let us know for those who are watching their weight.

You're the first Irishman I've ever met that eats that nasty weed.

BTW, I had a SPAM & cheese omelet this morning for breakfast. Saved the can for the dashboard of my truck for the MI FI 08.

Clearly you have neve met any Southerners of Irish extraction.

I don't care to eat it boiled. It does great work adding body and flavor to soups, jambalaya, etc, but those long, slimy pods are compost, as far as I am concerned. Cut it crosswise into short pieces, roll it in cornmeal (plain of flavored) and pan-fried, now that's a whole different story.

Ed, whose Irish ancestors orginally hailed from the West Meath area and whose Scots ancestors hailed from Caithness. (Nobody paid attention to where the English ancestors came from... )

Doug, you have waaaaaaayyyyyyy too much time on your hands. You need a hobby other than Emotiocon/Smiley Guru.
