I started eating salmon this year. Started with salmon burgers (these <- link) and have also added Atlantic cuts now. I'll move to the Alaska wild caught cuts when I run out of the farmed Noregen ones I now have. I always thought Salmon would be awful, but it is not. At least not to me now in my life with my eating changes over the last almost 10 years (don't remember if I posted back when but I became diabetic with over a 300 glucose and an A1C over 10. I stopped all carbs and sugar that day and was only on meds for a couple years and lost a lot of weight,  about 70lbs. I have been off meds a long time and maintain with diet and exercise only now. The changes to by diets affected me a lot, I burn protien now not surags and my tastes totally changed too.)

Last night I experemebted with my normal baked salmon by making it in a iron skillet, bacon wrapped and with salt, pepper and lemon. It was wonderful. I think it would be good if I put a bit og dijon musterd on it, then bacon wrap it. I'll likely try that next week.

 

Anyone else make salmon? If so, how do you like it?

 

Been dehydrating a lot of veggies all year as well. I love snacking on dehydrated peas, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and beans (fabada beans are great dehydrated). I mix this with sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds and that has been my go to snack all year. I dehydrate them in my oven/air fryer I bought last year. I really need to experement with dehydrating meats and salmon next.

 

And this year I rediscovered pork rinds. Gone through several brands till I settled on one specific I just love. Guerrero plain and red pepper: Link to them. Man those are so good!

 

Enough rambling. Morning all!

I like salmon and tuna in small doses but I get tired of it pretty quick.

Cheri's diabetes is a nightmare to control.  She doesn't eat as well as she should but even when she does her sugar goes up and down, mostly up.  She's got one of those meters on her arm that transmits to a receiver and goes off all the time.  I have no idea about her A1C.

I'm one of those rare guys who doesn't eat a lot of meat but I'm happy enough with vegetables.  My habits have changed a lot in the last year.  I only eat once a day, not out of principle but because that's about all I want.  No idea why but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm somehow malnourished.  Cheri was shocked to find that pork rinds are fine for diabetics and I'm surprised she doesn't eat more of them.  She loves the popcorn though.  I never cared much for pork rinds but that may be because the only ones I ever tried weren't very good.  I do go through about a pot of coffee a day.  That's good for you, right?  

Popcorn is bad for CHeri. Tell her I said to eat Pork Rinds instead. ;)

Coffee I actually think IS good gor you. (laugh) I drink 20oz for breakfast and at lunch I have another 20oz.

When I was a kid we had RC cola 3 meals a day.  At some point in my 20s I'd decided I'd had enough cola for a lifetime and switched to mainly tea.  I used to drink a lot, (mostly beer) but playing in bars every night, (6 nights a week for years) I decided drinking all night then driving home wasn't a good idea and switched over to coffee.  In a lot of bars the coffee is terrible if they have it at all, so I'll drink Coke, maybe half a cup or so in 6 or 8 hours.  Given the time on my hands, I'm kind of surprised that I don't drink more than a pot of coffee a day.

I told Cheri about the popcorn.  She likes "kettle corn" which I'm sure is even worse.  John

Yes, kettle corn takes a bad food for her and makes it an awful food for her. Oh well.

Yeah, she's nowhere near as careful what she eats as she should be.  Neither am I, although I don't bother with popcorn at all.  I get tired of picking it out of my teeth!  John
