So have you ever thought about what you might want to eat if it were your last meal? I don't suppose that a lot of people this side of death row need to think about that very much, but it does make for an interesting question, frankly. With the start of the new year, and with the recent deaths of two friends both with young kids still at home, (RIP Rich and Rick) I am going to participate in a meal replacement program designed for diabetics.
On that program you can eat as much of the prescription food items that you need to stay full, but ZERO outside food. That's nothing. No samples at Costco, no licking the beaters,... nothin'. I have to go to the doctor to get my glucose checked weekly too, so it will be a full-on hoot for 2012.
It raises an interesting question for the day though. If you had one last day to eat regular human food, and could essentially choose whatever you would like, within reason, what would it be? I'm not sure yet. I made boneless pork ribs for friends last night and am going to a New Year's Bash where I know that carnitas will be served along with homemade pico de gallo... that should do it, I would think.
Also, I got an Applebees gift card burning a hole in my pocket too... Decisions, decisions...
A full on Thanksgiving dinner would be what I want - turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (no marshmallows please!), cranberry sauce, rolls, vegetables, pumpkin pie - the works! And as I approach 2012 with an elimination diet on the horizon I feel your pain. While I will be able to eat "outside" food there will still be major restrictions for me. Best of luck with everything! Much love from Oregon!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amy, except no cranberry sauce and add the marshmallows please. I will be praying for you Bob, as I want you to make your great great grandchildren laugh and know they are loved.
