LDL 84 ~ Will someone please pass the dark chocolate?

[Susana]

I'm not bragging, but it's such a good feeling to hear your doctor's voice sounding cheerful, saying "You're doing good. Your LDL (bad cholesterol) is 84." For a year and a half now, that is.

The Christmas Baking Season offically starts tomorrow!!! I'm hosting my annual get-together Saturday night. Think I'll start with oatmeal cookies studded with generous amounts of dark chocolate chips.

What are your favorite treats for any occasion?

Pork fried rice for any and every occasion.

Roast pork-with crackling of course+apple sauce, roast potatoes and sweet corn.
PS: Had my 6 monthly blood test for diabetes & cholesterol yesterday-awaiting results.

monkey head mushrooms stir-fried with dried chilli ^^

Hope those test results come out good Khun Don. I had 'the works' done also. I'm curious to know how many days it takes to get your results. It takes on the average of 3 days here, but our little regional hospital gets same day results for blood work.

Today's cookie choice? I'm thinkin' ginger snaps. Mmmmmm, love ginger!

The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies were well sampled last night. I'd forgotten, however, that chocolate (it's the extra stuff in the chips) gives me a headache. Ginger, on the other hand, is medicinal!!!!

Wow!!! I think we eat all kind of strange things,yy i don't think you ate the monkey head as like as you said.cos i read in the magazine chinese "China"ate horrible stuff,such as grilled whole puppy not bleedy,cat,rat,abbortion soup,.....oh my goodness!!! I am really afraid of.

[Mahindrasarath]

Well maybe i can try to cook rice mix with corn,bean,little with coconut,maybe taste gudddd!!!
Thru out the gen we usually make the sticky rice with bean and pork,pepper inside wrapped with the banana leaves,steamed.this season is harvesting we usually bring pounded -sticky rice,mix with the bananas and coco juice or sweety milk pretty guddddd! I wanna try some oat anyway if i can find in the city mall at PP.bye susan

Oatmeal is good for you Mahin. My father-in-law in Thailand ate it every morning. I prefer mine in cookie form, however.

Mahin, I mean a type of mushroom, it's called monkey head mushroom cos it has a very furry cap, like a monkey's head.

Takes about a week-I can then call surgery for results.
