Tomorrow, I am going to try something a little different, especially
for diabetic Will, who works very hard to keep his blood sugars under
tight rein....
As some of you know, I regularly participate in a breakfast group on
Saturdays... Tomorrow, I am in charge of the food. Being tired of the
routine bacon, eggs, ham, biscuits, etc., I have decided to offer lox
and bagels (two kinds) with cream cheese and dill, in addition to the
usual eggs, ham, etc.
I have also thrown into the larder some smoked speckled trout for the
really appreciative gourmets.
My strategy for diabetic Will is to enjoy the smoked fish (both salmon
and trout), have a few nibbles of the bagels with cream cheese and
dill, have a few eggs... and see what it does to his blood. I shall
keep you posted about this very fun experiment tomorrow ;-)
Will, T2
We don't want to see it.
In the meantime, the Key Lime pie calls... 'eat me, eat me, eat
me....."
Is it to be another instance of Ulysses crashing upon the rocks, 2007,
ver 2.0? ... Stay tuned
Will, T2
Oh, I'd slap some of the lox on that bagel, on top of a lot of yummy
cream cheese.

That is sorta what I was thinking, also, Priscilla.... except I am in
a bit of a quandry about how much bagel to ingest. For the occasion, I
have procured some onion bagels( with 7 grain blend), and some honey
and whole wheat bagels... carbs, carbs, and more carbs.... On the
other hand, we still have to live and embrace a certain élan, or joie
de vivre, or so it seems to me. If I can just hold down the overall
carb intake, relative to the other sorts of food... then I may be OK,
and still have a good time.
I'll let you know how I am feeling about 10:00 or 11:00 A.M.
Will, T2
I never much liked bagels. Which is good now, I guess! :) But back when I
could eat more carbs for breakfast than I can now, I could only manage one
of those little mini bagels that are mass produced and probably don't taste
a thing like a real bagel.
I could also live without fish or cream cheese. Yuck! I do like tuna in a
pouch, or fish sticks smothered in mashed potatoes made with real milk and
butter (dream on), but no other kind of fish. I think the Weight Watcher's
year or so ruined it for me. When I was a teen my parents went on that diet
and I think it was hamburger patties a couple of times a week, liver once a
week and fish of some kind the other days. Got to where my friends didn't
want to stay for dinner.

Lox is smoked salmon. And bagels are *so* not savory donuts. You start
with a kind of bread dough, form it into rings, drop the rings into
boiling water for a few minutes, then bake them.

Hi Frank,
Broadly speaking, the term "lox" comes through Askenazic Jewish
cousine and derives from the Yiiddish word for Salmon.... (not
reproducable here)
Anyway, it would roughly correspond to lax (Scandanavian- Icelandic
and Swedicsh)), laks (Norweigan), and laex (Old English)...
It is really very good stuff....
Here is a link that gives a pretty good discussion of lox.

Hang out here long enough, Frank, and you may learn a whole new
approach to food....

Good lord, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Authentic key lime pie is not ever, ever, ever green!
Even if you made a custard pie with regular lime juice it wouldn't be
terribly green. But it wouldn't be a key lime pie either.
>Hello friends,
Well, the breakfast is over, and it was almost 2 hrs pp.... The
results were not so bad. Could have been a tad better, but considering
that I went for the gusto, not so bad.
I had one whole bagel, slathered with cream cheese and dill on both
halves, with a generous helping of lox on each half. Yum, yum.... and
coffee, black. I just checked the blood, and my meter reports a rosy
124 mg/dl reading...could be better, but considering I had half an
onion bagel and half a whole wheat and honey bagel, I am satisfied
with the results. :-)
Some of the other folks had fruit juice, but I skipped that....
Maybe this is something I should save for every now and then, but it
is nice to know that I can tolerate a treat sometimes.
(By the way, those few bites of Key Lime pie last night did not mess
me up, either, John, and mine had graham cracker crust! The key was in
portion control... I had only a little bit, so I was still right at
100 this morning.)

Like pistacchio. I never liked pistacchios, probably because of the
green thing.
Thanks, Susan. One of my favorite memories from cchildhood involves
the Key Lime pie my grandmother used to make.... Except hers had
graham cracker crust ;-)
Now that I am diabetic, I think your recipe seems healthier, though!

Have you ever had postacchio pudding, Alice? It is a little greeenish,
maybe, but I have always enjoyed it... gotta have it with splenda
these days, though, and only infrequently.

I know... It was probably in the stratosphere. That's why I say it is
only an every now and then treat, not a regular thing.
Still, it was really, really good and yummy!

Glad you enjoyed it Will. Not bad numbers at all.

Either way, I haven't had it and have no intention of trying it.
If I'm going to overcarb, it's going to be on something I *know* will be
worth it!
>It comes in a sf version. Made with cream it's not bad, but it IS green.
Sounds good to me... but then, I really like pistachio pudding, ice
cream, etc :-)
And, I can think of lots of other things green that are good....
You are right about the Key Lime pie, though... real Key Lime pie, in
my experience, is not very green (maybe just a little sometimes). If
someone is serving Kermit Green Key Lime pie, I would be very
suspicious of there being Martians about!
Will, T2
a great omemlet is lox onions and eggs or a LEO as we call it here in
the big apple.
I hope you are using the nova scotia kind of lox becaus the other kind
is very salty and you wont stop drinking all day.
The way you plan to go sounds fine to me. the other parts dont seem to
have carbs, It is really just the bagel, scoop it out and eat only the
shell.
Loretta
finally a thread I know about
>I hope you are using the nova scotia kind of lox becaus the other kind
>is very salty and you wont stop drinking all day.
It was the Norweigan kind... a little bit salty, but really very
nice... And yes, the onioin bagel and dill in the cream cheese really
"made it", so to speak... You are right about being thirsty.
I have had Nova Scotia lox, but all I could find yesterday was the
Norweigan... The smoked speckled trout, some of which I also had, was
milder. I was really looking for fresh trout, but it is usually not
readily found here. Sea trout, though, is relatively common.
That omlet sounds like a fabulous idea, Loretta. I have not thought of
having an omlet that way, before... Maybe I shall try one tomorrow!

For a while (well before I was diagnosed!), key lime pie was a trendy
menu item around here. I learned that before ordering I *had* to ask
what color it was. If the answer was "green" (usually accompanied by a
pitying glance), I knew not to order it. Once, a waitress replied
something like "it's supposed to be lime, but I don't get it; it's not
green!". She was shocked that I ordered it.
>On Sat, 21 Jul 2007 13:10:34 -0400, Susan <neve...@nomail.com>
I just opened the fridge, and took a look at that fresh Key Lime pie
from last night, when I heard the siren call..... "eat me, eat me, eat
me"... Mine looks either some faint yellow, or perhaps a faint
greenish yellow, depending upon the light. I would say probably more
yellowish that green, though.
Whilst examining the color of that very tasty pie, I had to taste a
small sample to make sure it had not gone bad overnight, being left
unattended in the fridge. ;-) So far, it seems to be holding up fairly
well, in the coldness....

I like capers.

Julie, I am wondering,since I read that you dont like many foods , what
foods do you like
Will go easy on the bagel because susan is right about the number of
carbs.

Just took another look at that pie.... I think it is slightly yellow,
and not green at all...
The green idea is the *thought* of green that comes from the typical
appearance of "Persian" limes. But Key Limes (Citrus aurantiifolia),
are not that green, anyway.... That's why, as Susan says, Key Lime
juice is yellow, not green.... Ripe Key Limes seem to be yellow, not
green.
Here is a link to a discussion of the Key Lime
http://www.keylime.com/diff.html
Wikipedia also has a brief discussion about Key Limes, and other types
of limes...

Not a carb bender, but I have probably had a little more than my daily
quota... I just took only a nibble of that pie ;-) only a nibble, I
tell ya... The pie made me do it.
I shall go on a walk in a bit... The skies are partly cloudy here
today, and the temps are in the mid-70s, with gentle breezes and fresh
smelling air....
The peaceful and shady lanes around my house are calling to me. The
best part is that my back and leg sciatica problem seems to have
cleared up, at least for now.
Remember that Gershwin song about Summertime... when the livin is

Just as I suspected... there is not a single retail store in the whole
state of Virginia that carries them. So, I if I am to try them out, I
have to order them from the online order desk, which I guess means
they would be coming from California.

Try whole wheat bagels. They might be a bit healthier for Will to eat.
Pumpernickle and rye are also good alternatives for diabetics who need
to have a bagel.

Healthier to us is defined by the resulting BG's.
No matter what bagel option you pick - test at your peak
post-prandial. Once in a blue moon I try a half-bagel again.
Next time it will be a scooped out quarter-bagel but I'll
probably still spike.

The Perfect 10 Western Bagels are the primary form of bread I allow myself
since diagnosis. They are an acquired taste since they're whole wheat, lotsa
grains, a ton of protein, fiber, etc., etc. so they are not your typical H&H
bagel. Yet, I love them.
Lox? Nope, not me.

I have to order them. I've posted about this a couple of times here before.
<G> I can repeat as needed. Minimum order is 5 or 6 packages of them. They
ship every Monday, from California, and they are fine out of the fridge, in
the fridge, and frozen. So, it works out well.
Publix here has their big brother, an Alternate Bagel, but it's not the one
with the GREAT numbers.

I notice that many Americans often cook their eggs so much that the
yolks are actually cooked solid. To me that's well overcooked. I only
cook my eggs enough to cook most but not all of the white, and none
of the yolk. I find that that kind of light cooking doesn't cook any
added fish much at all.
