Mary, don't worry about cholesterol in things you eat -- it's the cholesterol your own body makes that's bad for you. Drink wine, drink beer, eat garlic (or other aliums) - - it'll all help bring your numbers way down. Use olive oil or other monosaturates.

For a few years there they were saying you shouldn't more than one egg a week because of the cholesterol -- then they found out eggs don't make any difference at all and are much much better than bad for you.

I'm bringing a carrot cake (health food) with cream cheese frosting. (All the major food groups.)

Don't fret.

Eat what you like -- in moderation.
