Have you seen the commercial for Aleve with Leonard Nimoy? He's about to
address a Star Trek convention and he's on the phone with his agent saying
he can't do it, he can't do it! Then he takes Aleve and goes out and does
the finger split thing (which, by the way, I can do.)

I had to look twice though, because I don't recognize Mr. Spock anymore.
Used to love "film day" in junior high school when they'd show him doing 'In
Search of' shows.

Thanks LJ! :)

Eating a high carb meal about once per week is actually beneficial.
I stall out on the weight loss if I keep it TOO low carb!

I've upped my carbs from 20 grams per day to 50 so can afford some
breading. It seems to be working a helluva lot better and the scale is
_finally_ beginning to drop again. <g>

Total calorie control is still important, contrary to popular belief
about low carbing.

The cast of Star Trek is aging/dying.
We've already lost "Scotty" and "Dr. McCoy". <sigh>
Nimoy still looks pretty good but Shatner looks like ****. :-(

LOL! I only qualify as a trollop. I'm not a lush, and I'm not a
witch. But I have been known (quite recently, in fact) to be a *****.

Wow! You *do* use a lot of sesame seeds! I would, too, if I
remembered. I've just never gotten into a habit of using them. I'll
attempt to remedy that!

Whoo-hoo! Thanks for those recipes! I gave Crash a deep fryer for
Father's Day last year, if I remember right. He's only used it a
couple times. Thanks for the inspiration to use that thing again!

Yeah, I've seen that one. Burst out in a big smile the first time I
saw it. (I can do the finger split thing on both hands, too - I said
that for comic effect) <EG>

No kidding! He looks so different! Has he gotten dentures, do you
think?

I can to it with both hands too *strutt* AND I can move my wee toe

IMHO they add an awesome texture, and dad really likes them. :)
Poppy seeds can be fun too on steamed veggies, but I don't use them as
much.

Yes, I've had one for years. Though I've never made anything low carb.

My favorite is steak fingers. Strips of steak with ground up cracker
crumbs for breading. Very tasty.

Sometimes I do prawns, chicken, and cat fish too.

Cheese sticks are good too, especially cream cheese.

But really, these are all fattening, so I don't do it very often. 2-3
times a year, and then really savor it. For my nephew;s birthday, I do
onion rings too.


For a reduced breading, try corn starch. That's what the chinese cooks
at work use for the two meat items that are fried, but with very little
coating.

I have no idea how to cook anything halfway healthy in a fry daddy.

I'm going to have to try jalapeno poppers with a mix of colby jack and
cream cheese. ;-d

That's what I was considering. I think Tempura batter is corn starch
based?

<lol> I don't plan to make it a daily thing. If one can keep low carb
tho', fat (especially non-sat fats which includes most frying oils) is
not as bad of an issue. It's just a matter of portion control to keep
the calorie count reasonable. :)
