Hi Sean,


 RH> Can you do protein shakes and such like? Sometimes something like that
 RH> is an easier way to get protein than trying to eat more. But, then you
 RH> probably have to watch the carb/calorie/etc count.

 SD> I tried those and my gut didn't like them.  I suspect I now have
 SD> Crohn's disease from all the weird antibiotics that got pumped into me
 SD> afdter my heart attacks for eight months.  I'm going to a VA
 SD> gasteroenterologist in a coulple of weeks.  A local VSO told me that

Sounds like no fun all around. Antibiotics can really tear up your
system, even for short term use. I just finished a 10 day round of them
because the pulmonology PA heard something (confirmed by a CT scan and
my primary doctor) in my lungs. I always have yogurt with active
cultures as part of breakfast but still had a bit of trouble with side
effects from the antibiotics. It didn't last long but no fun for the
time they kicked in.

 RH> I think the after effects of Hurricane/tropical storm/depression
 Debby RH> knocked out my Fido for a few days.

 SD> Yeah, she was a sneaky one.  We didn't feel any effects here--some
 SD> rain would be appreciated--but I think Newfoundland, PEI, and Nova
 SD> Scotia are in her path now.

This is the time of year I really pay attention to the weather reports.
At one point, Debby was supposed to go right thru the Raleigh area. She
turned slightly to the west, just enough so that we were on the right
side of it, got wind, rain, tornadoes out of it.


 SD> Here's a recipe from our late friend, Michael.

Quite an interesting assortment of spices. I'll usually use a variety of
peppers (whatever I have on hand/can find in the produce section) in my
chili. For the "competition style" I'll also use tomatoes and onions;
the family style is usually much milder with ground beef, tomatoes,
onios, corn and (usually) bell peppers.
