Kim, Nicole, Beccy, thanks for the lo-carb tips. My lady and I are doing well on the diet but we are not going into it full hog. We are just reducing our Carbs, not cutting them out entirely. I had a physical early this week and I've lost eleven pounds, my cholestral has dropped below 200 (for the first time in years) and triglycerides (have dropped from 189 to 128) all within a month. Sorry for the thread creep Beccy.

Nicole, I'm going to look for that bread. Trader Joe's has a decent low-carb bread too.

Spaw: my mother-in-law made a great wilted spinach salad with bacon grease, vinigar, onions and I don't know what else. It was a warm salad and if anyone has a recipe, I wish they would PM me.
