THAT IS JUST - SO WRONG ! ! !
OKAY - I NOW Officially "Dislike" YOU ! ! !
AS one of the Ultimate "Carnivores" around (see You are not the only one - any meal can just be "MEAT") who happens to really really really like "crispies" of anything - I have just been salivating since I read this and I am not supposed to have any of this any longer . . . Meat - Yes . . . cannot and should not have "CRISPIES" . . .
And - for ALL the Rest of YOU - and each and everyone of YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE ! ! !
The Casserole, Hot Sauce/Sour Cream, French Onion Dip, Eggs/Cheese/Sausage, and the ever present "Blue-cheese" . . .
MY DOCTOR is going to come after each and every one of YOU Too ! ! !
BAD - SO BAD . . .
(Now Rave - You know that is just a fabrication, and so when my Dr. asked what happened - I can blame someone else, especially when I go to the store to buy all the ingredients and then go into the kitchen to actually cook this up - Right ? ? ? You know - You will always be "My Fave"- Rave and I could never ever "dislike" YOU - of all people. . . Now as for some others' - Well, maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut for once
If you want crispies in potato form, try oven-browned potatoes. You peel and cut up a potato and boil the pieces for about 10 minutes. Drain them and spread them on a large, flat pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and dot with butter (or you could probably use olive oil, if the pat of butter is verboten). Put the pan into a preheated 450-degree F oven. Turn with a spatula so all sides brown evenly. When crisp and brown, serve them. It takes approx 1/2 hr. for the potatoes to brown, but watch them closely.
As for meat, you can probably broil a good, lean steak in the broiler at the same time.
A topping I like on my steak (which I had tonight) is sliced onions, a chopped clove of garlic, and mushrooms sauteed in a combination of butter and olive oil till hot. Pour it over the steak.
Add your favorite veggie or tossed salad, and you've got a good meat-and-potatoes meal.
Like "We" didn't know - that You're "A VERY SMART" Lady . . .
Good Observation There "SandySue"
Oh maan! You're makin' me hungry! Hmmm - I have some morels that I dried this last spring that would go nicely with that.

BUT, Let's be real truthful here - Nothing and I do mean NOTHING - takes the place of "CRISPIES" . . .
ALL Good . . . No One's Gonna' Get Into Trouble - NOT YET (but anyone else come up with something I shouldn't have - well just guess what is gonna happen
) . . . .Gonna' Stay with my NEW Eating Habit's - Well most if the time . . .
Although, I will and Do "CHEAT" when I got the urge and NEED . . . If Ya' Know What I mean

Tater tots are one of those things that I ALWAYS have to have a bag of in my freezer! I love them! Especially with melted cheddar and sour cream. YUM!Not necessarily - Couldn't get around much yesterday so ECF was out. On a lighter note: Since I was not getting around very well, dinner was made for me by my son and his gal. Tater Tots!Where did I go wrong? They did offer me ketchup ...
I save my Bleu Cheese dressing for breaded zucchini sticks. YUM again!

OK, what eating restrictions do you have? I bet I could figure something out that would be tasty that'd meet them. I'd like the challenge. I was thinking of oils things are fried in, but olive oil is considered a good oil to lower your cholesterol. I guess with diabetes, it's a different game, but I bet there are good things to eat, even so.
Neat! I bet he is really in tune. I wanted to Like this, but the Like option didn't appear under your message. Why does that happen sometimes?
OK, I just refreshed the page, and now I could Like it. Huh?

Uncle, you don't have to give up any of the stuff you can't have anymore, you just have to learn to like the viable substitutes! Give 'em a chance. My mom has been living with the big "D" for about 40 years, and is just as happy as can be! Also, I've gone vegetarian and actually PREFER the meat substitutes now. I'll take a Gardein veggie burger over Carl's Jr or McD's any day!OKAY - YOU TOO - OFFICIALLY UNLIKED ! ! !

BTW, Just to further aggravate Uncle, to go with the steak and potatoes, I found a really good Pinot Noir: 2009 Castle Rock from Mendocino County. I couldn't believe it wasn't French!
Hello everyone!
I logged on several hours ago to find this thread closed. Then DH brought all the Christmas boxes in the house and wanted to de-decorate. So for hours I thought "if the thread is closed, SI must have got their own suppliers forum! What a great new year's surprise for SI and all of us!" Imagine!

But you're comparing the veggie burger to those awful, greasy fast-food burgers. There's a lot of neat stuff you can do with hamburger. Though there are some really wonderful vegetarian dishes, too. I make a stuffed eggplant that has anything interesting I can think to put in it. Very good! The basic is brown rice, cooked, raw veggies of whatever sort I please, onions, chopped, garlic, chopped, fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, and some sort of grated cheese (sharp cheddar, usually) on top. Bake till it's hot and the cheese melts.
Then there's Turkish eggplant salad. The ingredients are eggplant, Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onions (killed, see below), Italian parsley, chopped, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, olive oil.
Bake the eggplant in the oven or on a grill till the skin is blackened and burnt. Remove the skin (carefully, it's hot!), cut the innards up into one-inch cubes.
To kill the onions, slice them, put in a bowl, salt them heavily till they are almost covered. (If you like lots of Parmesan on your spaghetti, add the salt as if it was cheese.) Schrunge the onions with your hands, and they will start to wilt because of the salt. When they feel soft, not crispy, pour water in the bowl, drain, and repeat till the salt is washed away. You don't need to add salt to this salad, since the onions will retain a slight salty flavor.
Mix the veggies together, cut into bite-size pieces, and pour on a dressing of lemon juice and olive oil. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice. RealLemon juice just doesn't do it!
Uncle, could you have the Turkish salad? That feels like a meal in itself, the eggplant makes it so hearty.

You can do it, Janie. I was a bit intimidated by the filling and topping off thing, but I'm doing it, so I know you can. It'll seem easy in no time.
...and oh my goodness, the flavors are so much tastier than burning tobacco ever was.
Either one of those and I'd be in deep do do.
I think I gotta defend DH on this vacuum thing. I really wanted that new vacuum and he knew it. I kid around, but I'm married to a really good guy. He stayed with me through menopause. Now that's a REAL test of a man.
