So, are you basically on a "zero" sodium diet then, Jimmers?
I think I am suddenly glad to have 2000mg to work with. French fries without salt is just greasy starch. I don't know how Asian people eat rice without salt. I might only put 1/2 a teaspoon in 2cups water/ 1 cup rice, but it's very noticeable (and bland) without it.

As little as possible.I take 'water pills' ie I  like a racehorse,as if I get too much fluid it gets physically painful to carry around,and I need a procedure where they cut in my side and....it SUCKS.they took out twenty pounds last time! But because of my being so drastically under weight,they say to eat everything I can...just know that salt will make me suffer. |

Yeah, I am on a diuretic called Lasix myself.
Damn man... that sucks. All the good fattening stuff has lots of salt in it for the most part, barring sweets.
Say, do you like egg nog? Drink a quart of that a day, you'll be heavier in no time. Just no Irishing it up, eh?

I can never Irish anything up again.One drink would not likely kill me,but..i'm an addict.It would be one bakers dozen! Love eggnog,but can only find it Christmas time. Eat a lot of ten percent yogurt though.It's frigging good! Also,I drink a lot of chai with heavy cream. On lasix too.Racehorse!! |

OK, back!  Well, I did really have to pee, but then I went & made dinner. Southern-style chicken & dumplings. I have older relatives that call them "chicken slicks", 1) because they aren't the puffy, floater type of dumplings, but lay flat & wide, and 2) because there was always a skim of chicken grease over the top of the pot. Schmaltz is good stuff! |

Made grilled pork chops, baked potato rounds, broccoli, and cranberry sauce.
Pretty good. Made up some spice blend to season the chops with. Otherwise, rubbed with a little oil & fast-grilled.

Grilled pork tenderloin last night. Seasoned with some salt and pepper. Put some korean BBQ rub on one.
Also grilled some squash and zucchini.
