Dinner for a diabetic?




SH1


There is a couple that works really hard at my church and I wanted to make them dinner as a blessing to them but the man has diabetes and the woman has had gastric bypass surgery
Any ideas on what I could cook for them.



Answer
I was diagnosed Type II Diabetic July 29th, 2005. I was ordered to change my diet or suffer strokes and heart attacks. I put together some of my favorite recipes and altered them to fit my diet. Each meal is 40 net carbs or lower per serving.

I hope these help!

10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (8-ounce) package sharp Cheddar, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs, toasted
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 (3-ounce) can French fried onions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck and next 8 ingredients, mixing well.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remaining ketchup mixture.
Press meat mixture into a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan, or shape into a loaf and place on a rack in a broiler pan. Spread remaining ketchup mixture over loaf. Bake 40 minutes. Top with French fried onions; bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.

1/4 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Dried bread crumbs

Poutine the not-so-healthy way

Ingredients:
â¢2 pounds beef stew meat
â¢1 cup flour
â¢Salt and pepper
â¢4 tablespoons olive oil
â¢4 cups beef broth
â¢2 tablespoons garlic powder
â¢Oil for frying
â¢3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
â¢2 cups cheddar cheese curds

Directions:
1.Take the beef out of the refrigerator to get the chill off of it. While the beef is coming to room temperature, mix the flour, about a tablespoon each salt and pepper, and the garlic powder. Dredge the beef in the flour and let it rest.

2.Pour the olive oil into a Dutch oven and let it get hot over medium-high heat. Next, add the meat and brown it on all sides; add the broth and bring it to a boil. Put the lid on the Dutch oven, set the temperature to medium-low and let the stew meat cook for 1 hour. After an hour, remove the lid to let the sauce thicken.

3.Pour the oil for frying into the fryer and set the thermometer for 350 degrees F. Fry the potatoes in small batches until they start to turn golden (about 6 minutes). Remove and sprinkle with salt. Fry them a second time for maximum crispiness until they are golden brown (another 6 to 8 minutes). When they are done, sprinkle with salt again.

4.Assemble your poutine by pouring gravy (with the meat) on top of the fries and topping with cheese curds.

China Dinnerware "Service for"?




Jessie


I'm looking in to buying some new China Dinnerware. The thing is I'm not sure on the right "service for" number. I have a rather large family both on my side and with my in-laws. I want to get the right number so that when I have everyone over for the holidays we donât run out. Can anyone help?


Answer
mom says to count the maximum number of guests you expect at one time then add four extra

12 guests + 4 spare = 16

you would order a service for 16 - that way if one ever got broken or you needed a plate to set a cake on you have it

I'm so frustrated with my family! Help?




Angelinka


My 22 yr old brother and his girlfriend live here because her parents keep kicking her out because she talks back to them and comes home at 3 AM if she even goes home.

Anyways...we are Russian (I was born there, my brother wasnt..)...and I have lived in Irkutsk, Russia from 12 years old to 15 years old with my dad. So I have an accent. I am 17 now.

My brothers girlfriend is from Malaysia, but lived in New Zealand till 3 years ago.

She makes fun of the how I say things with my accent. She constantly puts me down. She and my brother only like Thai or Asian food. Whcih i actually hate...and it's so dumb, I'm expected to cook whatever they want, when they want

Oh yeah, everything I make that is Russian or food I like, smells like "Dead rotting animals" according to her. Even if its just cherry compote or something.

My mom pays everything...feeds this girl every night for a year and a half! My mom is going through a divorce from my dad who has all the money (she had a pre nup), and my brothers girlfriend has no medical insurance...is always sick...my mom pays ER visits out of pocket...and medicine for her...thousands. She buys this girl Betsey Johnson dresses too even! THe girl has a low paying job, but still a job, and has never paid a cent...Oh yah, my bro spends $170 on gourmet chocolate for her on Vday with my moms credit card. Stupid.

My mom doesn't care if they say mean things to me...but if I say something even a little snappy....oh boy.

My mom takes all her anger out on me, and says she wished she had aborted me, and that she'd rather have her as her daughter....! wtf? creepy.

I find this funny. I cook gourmet meals every night for her and clean the house. All while having Lupus. No one ever cares to check how I am doing. Its always about THEM and how "sick" they are when they have the common cold. It's like a huge pity party for my bros girlfriend 24/7...how she was "verbally abused by psychos"

I want to go back to Russia but my mom says "no".

I know things could be worse but she's pissing me off...Im not being physically beat up or anything, but I could be a lot happier...She gets offended when I say I want to leave

I need some guidance on getting a life of my own.
Oh yeah..my mom threatens me with "If you tell your dad about her living in his house and on his money ...you'll be sorry and you'll wreck your life too"

I'm like..okay..? whatever she is talking about.

My dad is nice enough to give her a huge check every month until the divorce is final.

I bet she'll take my child support and use it on his gf, my goodness



Answer
ok - take a breath - yu have a very hectic life at the moment and your getting very tangled and caught up in it all! your mum is going through alot a divorce can bring out all sorts off emotions and pressure and if you dad is getting all the money she is going to be very stressed so she is going to snap out - just keep out of her way and support her like do some chores or buy her dinner and set it up. maybe your mum feels like she has to make up for your brothers girlfriend homelife she is doing a really nice thing for her just let your mum do it and keep a look out with it if it seems at any point that your brothers girlfriend is taking advantage of it then speak to your mother or your brother - also you may want to suggest to you mum when she seems in a good mood and calm that your brothers girlfriend should get health insurance see how that goes down - just support your mum and keep a watch on the money situation - hope this helps good luck

Isn't there a site where I can get info about Altwasser Silesia china patterns? All I pull up is Ebay!!! LM




LinOH


I inherited a full set of dinner china for 12 from my grandmother. There are several poorly mended pieces that I'd love to replace and then use. Upon looking, I find "Silesia" is not the pattern name..but all I can find on the net as links always takes me back to ebay...where I eventually want to go but only after I can educate myself a bit. My pattern is a thin pastel rim (3/4") with little pink roses interspersed with "medallions" of dark and light blue. The whole thing is interwoven with gold or wheat -colored trim and metallic gold bands on a pale yellow background. Most of the plate is white with some thin metallic gold bands.

Best used to paint dinnerware?




Angelica


BASICALLY, instead of buying a brand new set, i want to paint my bowls and plates one color to match the other nice ones. I read to use porcelain or glass paint which would be safe to eat off of? (if that's correct or not) would porcelain or glass paint be a good option? if not then what, and where to buy?
thanks a bunch(:



Answer
Hi Angelica
I would NOT paint any dinnerware. I would however suggest that you shop at a local thrift or second hand store or even yard sales for a new gently used set of dinnerware. Many times there are many styles and qualities to choose from and typically under ten dollars.

where is the best place to buy a vintage 1950's or 60's dinnerware set?




amber


I also want to replace my silverware set with vintage flatware....I will eventually be doing my whole kitchen over to look like a diner of the 50's and 60's thanks!


Answer
Garage sales and tag sales I see tons of that stuff evertime I go to one. Also Ebay but you will pay more then tag and garage sales.

Best appliances and quality household items?




She glows


I'm moving out for the first time with two roommates and we need to purchase just about everything. I'm wondering what brands we should look for that will give us the most out of our money and not break or wear out after a couple of uses.

My budget doesn't allow for very expensive items. I have a part-time job and I'm in college so I definitely don't have a lot to spend so I'll probably be shopping at WalMart and Target and some secondhand stores.

I need:
- Dishes (I was thinking simple white Corelle)
- Silverware
- Cooking utensils (Basic spatulas, etc)
- Cookware

- Towels
- Vacuum
- Washer & dryer

If there is anything else you can think so please feel free to suggest it :]



Answer
definitely look for the washer and dryer (maybe even the vacuum) in the paper, under the classified. sometime you can get lucky and there are some rich folks getting the latest dryer and they're just giving their other one away. dishes at walmart work just fine, the sets in the boxes are worth the money, you get like 4 big plates, 4 smaller plates, and a couple of coffee mugs i think. there are also some sets of glasses that are like, 8 bucks for a set of 16. the only thing you should think about splurging on a little bit s your cookware. the sets of pots at walmart tend to be made very cheaply, and are thin. that means that you'll spend endless nights trying not to burn food. then you'll end up burning the food and it'l be stuck on the pot forvever. target is better for the pots, just buy the ones that are not in sets. buy one large, one medium, and one small. a large skillet a small skillet.

don't be afraid to go garage sale shopping, you can find some awesome stuff! including cookware and whatnot. go to the fanciest neighborhood in your area for some quality stuff. check the papers.

oh and spatulas, etc... wooden spoons will last forever, one metal spatula, a plastic spatula.

consider a crockpot, it'll be a lifesaver. when i was broke we would make a roast at the beginning of thew week and make sandwiches all week long. soups, casseroles...crockpots are awesome.

and what about a housewarming party?!!!

What will i need when moving into a new place?




Fear


Moving into my own apartment very soon. Now i am just trying to make a sort of shopping list for what i will need. I don't mean just groceries but things like bed sheets, lamps, household items. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks :)


Answer
10" frying pan with lid
2 quart saucepan
At least four place-settings of cutlery
Four place-settings of dinnerware (get Corelle ware if you can) i.e. dinner plates, lunch plates, sandwich plates, soup bowls, pasta bowls, fruit nappies, tea cups.
Four coffee mugs
Four drinking glasses
Four table placemats
A coffee maker, if you drink coffee
a teapot if you drink tea
About 4 Glad plastic containers to store left-overs
A toaster
Four dish cloths
Four dish towels
A can opener
Two wooden spoons
A soup ladle
A dish drainer rack and drain tray

Four hand towels
Two bath towels
Four facecloths

A good flashlight.

One set of bed sheets and pillowcases
Two blankets
One duvet or comforter (Goodwill or Value Village is a good place to shop for these)

A microwave is a life-saver for a working girl if you can afford one.


Glad or Saran wrap
Resealable plastic bags (large sandwich size are best)
Hand soap
Dish detergent
Toilet paper

Other things to shop for at Goodwill or Value Village:

A tv-table
Kitchen table and chairs
Love seat and easy chair (sofas are hard to move and no one sits in the middle anyway)
Floor lamp
End tables
Coffee table
A slow cooker (a necessity because, with it, you can come home to dinner already made)
Cookie sheet (great for making brownies or for heating up frozen fish fillets, pizza, etc.)
Dutch oven with lid for making soups and stews and even pot-roasts.
A Pyrex cake dish
A Pyrex pie plate
Candy dish
Divided o'erderve tray
Plastic tray (like at McDonalds) for carrying your dinner to the tv-table on those kinds of nights

Bedroom suite? Dresser, end table, bed (don't buy a used mattress though)
tv if you think you need one

That should get you started anyway

Good luck in your new home

Is cost of living higher in Japan or the UK? (Hallo, Yozora!!)?




mmhmmm


Both countries are known elsewhere for being "expensive", but which is more expensive and in what areas?

And why is Japanese food in the UK so bloody expensive? I can get a wonderful meal at an Italian restaurant for a reasonable £7-8, but a meal of comparable quality and quantity would cost £15-20 at a Japanese restaurant!

And the nearest Korean restaurant is a ruddy 40 miles away in Glasgow (I live in Edinburgh). So add £9 for a return train ticket to the cost of the meal >_<!!


A little about myself:
I'm Chinese British. I was born here (down south in Kent to be exact) but I lived in Taiwan for the last 10 years, and I only returned (to Edinburgh) last September.

So what do I feel about prices in Edinburgh?
- Rent... fair enough, lower than what we paid in Taiwan.
- Food... Italian is reasonable, but Asian is too bloody expensive!! Asian food isn't supposed to be so expensive!!
- Everything else... not noticeably different from what I'm used to.
To goldlust74:
Well yes, you could compare Edinburgh prices with London prices...

But you could also compare Edinburgh with a smaller Japanese city like Kumamoto or Hiroshima!

Hello!

Well ... it's hard to say for sure! As for rent, I don't know - we owned our own place in England, so it's not worth trying to compare rental costs now.

Food - European food, including BRITISH food! Is a LOT more expensive here. If you do price comparisons in ANY country, you'll find that if you get someone back 'home' to buy something for you, and mail it by surface mail, it costs about the same as the price in the shops. This is true of Japanese food in France as well as English & French food here. It's not so surprising - exporting goods costs money, and they need to make some profit ... but it's irritating to have to pay more than 700å for 125g of Marmite...!! (Can't help thinking of that, we need to buy more today! Hope they haven't put the price up...!)

Restaurants are a totally different matter though. I never go to 'posh' restaurants, so I am comparing the prices of average or family restaurants, but in almost ALL things Japan is a lot CHEAPER than the UK! The exceptions are pizzas, and McDonald's & KFC! All about the same price in both countries! Strange and suspicious...!! I find it very soothing to go to a buffet style Chinese restaurant in Yokohama's Chinatown, and pay anything from £7 - £10 p/p for a truly slap-up dinner ... yet in the UK anything of that price would be a truly awful selection! (I tried the cheapest buffet I could find in London's Chinatown once ... about £7 ... pretty revolting!) Also, in the UK it's generally about £5 for ONE dish from a Chinese take-away - but here in Japan I can get a set meal for that, with rice, soup, maybe dessert or gyouza! AND usually they refill your rice bowl for free!! In the UK you'd pay up to a couple of quid just for plain rice.
: (

Drinks - how much is a 360 ml can of fizzy drink from a vending machine in the UK now? Here it was still 120å last time I looked! 150å for most 500 ml PET bottles. The best drinks are from Saizeria when you eat there - the drink bar is 180å for people older than elementary school age, and 100å for kids! The selection is fairly varied too, including hot and cold drinks. That's the only CHEAP drink bar I know of though - the rest are more expensive! About 300å perhaps...?!

Food from shops & supermarkets is probably cheaper in the UK - in some cases by a lot, in other cases by a little. Obviously the Japanese foods are more expensive in the UK - and European style foods, like bread, cheese, milk, are more expensive here. A case of demand not being high enough to keep output high and prices low. That's also why Japanese restaurants are more expensive than Chinese restaurants in the UK - plus the fact that Chinese food isn't as limited and they can use the meat or veg that's cheapest at the market! Japanese restaurants sell mostly high-end food - sashimi for example. You can't cut costs with stuff like that - not without killing people..! If more people were interested in Japanese food, the price would go down because they'd be able to import things in bulk - or even make (or brew) them in the UK. Plus they'd have specially trained fishermen to prepare freshly caught fish for sushi and sashimi, which would make it easier to get, and better quality, and more convenient ... but it's not likely to happen I'm afraid! Anyway, bulk buying = cheaper retail prices, and quick sales help keep prices down too, by reducing waste. So if people WANT the cost of sushi to go down, they have to get thousands more people to buy it, REGULARLY!

Travel ... it's a LOT cheaper here in Japan, which is just as well because having a car isn't really convenient!

Electrical goods are a little cheaper, but nowhere near enough to make it worth ordering something from another country and getting them to mail it to the UK!

International phone calls - more expensive if you use NTT, cheaper if you use G=call!

I won't waste my time comparing fuel bills or local taxes, because they tend to go up every year (especially in the UK!) and they vary from district to district too.

How do I get a replacement set of medals?




jonathan


Tonight my unit has a formal dinner. We all have to wear our navy dress blues. We were all given the day off to prepare everything, since our chief said an admiral will attend or something like that. When I was putting my uniform together, I dropped my medal rack on the floor and 7 out of my 10 medals cracked. I left and immediately drove to the base px, but they didn't have everything I need! What do I do? I don't know how to get them fixed or get replacements in only 10 hours. What should I do?


Answer
I don;t really beleive a word of your story for a number of reasons:

- you should be wearing whites at this time of the year (unless you are in the UK, but your time frame rules that out)
- as you posted this an hour ago, the only place your timeline of needing this in ten hours makes sense is if you are in Hawaii, and they definitely do not wear blues
- today is Saturday - of course you have the day off
- just because an Admiral is attending is no reason to change the way you have to prepare
- issue medals do not crack when dropped
- the Navy does not call their on-base sales store a "PX" - that is an Army thing
- even if your medals did break, you can wear the ribbons

See - none of what you say really adds up. I think that you are a wanna-bee who is trying to figure out how to scam some free medals so you pose as a Serviceman.

What size table setting?




Bella


My fiance and I are getting married soon and are doing our gift registry list in a few weeks. We already have an 8 person cutlery/dinnerware set from our engagement. We are considering increasing it to a 12 or 16 place setting so we can accommodate more people and to account for breakages - what size setting do you think should we get?


Answer
The standard has been twelve for years, but many manufacturers are now selling boxed sets of eight. That being said, most "good" china is sold open stock which means you can buy whatever pieces you want individually, so your options are basically endless!

We have two sets of "good" china and one set of "everyday" china. One of the sets of "good" china is 16 place settings, but that's mostly due to a screaming deal on ebay! When we have gatherings that are too large for one or the other set we just alternate the two patterns around the table!

As for flatware, trust me, you can never have too much! We have 4 different sets, with one being strictly for everyday use, one in silver, and two for larger parties. We actually have one pattern in which we have thirty place settings just for really large parties.(it still wasn't enough for Christmas last year!)

Do whatever feels right for you! If you think you'll do a great deal of entertaining or if you both have large families plan accordingly!

Congratulations! I hope you have a very long and happy life together and many wonderful dinner parties!

I want to buy the Corelle Red Chile dinnerware set but want to know if it is lead free. How do I find out?




patricia01





Answer
I checked Corelle.com and they didn't have any information about where this dinnerware is made, so it could be made in a country that has no rules or laws concerning lead in dinnerware. Customs doesn't test for lead either. You could write Consumer Reports and ask, or check the web for recalls, but I didn't find any pertinent information currently available.

Here's what to try next:

Get a lead tester at home depot or Lowe's or a larger drug store or Wal-Mart or something. It should come in a crayon like thing that you just rub on and it changes color if there's lead in it. Then take it to the store and test the dinnerware you like before you buy. If there aren't any on the shelf take the box up to customer service and tell them you would like to open it and test it for lead before you buy it please. Most of the time they are happy to help. Good Luck. I like that pattern too : )
