What did everyone cook today?
-
Made some fish tacos. Made some homemade pickled red onions and homemade mayonnaise to use as a base for a chipotle crema of sorts. Forgot to get a picture of the finished taco because I was in a rush.
First time making homemade mayonnaise. What a difference. And super easy.

johnsbrewhouse How did everything turn out? I hope it went well.
calldoctoday I finished the testing and turned in the kit. The glucose triggered what it was suppose to as far as I can tell, but it also triggered my metabolic disorder and insulin resistance to kick in at the end of the test. My sugars went low and I thought I was going to have to take a glucose tab to get my sugar levels back to normal. Apparently the dextrose level is quite high in the drink and with nothing else to offset it, it dumped to much insulin to counteract those sugars. I used to the sugars going low, so I know when it is beginning and react right away.

bocephus I have found that many people who do not like grits had some that either was not the right type or cooked incorrectly.
I had people drive a good ways for the grits I made for Sunday Brunch.
I only use Quaker Old Fashion Grits. 1 Part grits to 5 parts water, salt to taste and about 2 tablespoons butter per 1/4 cup of uncooked grits. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring to keep it from clumping.
Kroger’s on line, and Walmart’s in southern stores carry it. Kroger’s on line will ship for free with a $35.00 order, it’s only about $2.00 each so I just order it when I need it along with some items that are hard to fine.

We use Alber’s Hominy grits here, they call them quick grits, but if you cook them quick they are mealy. I cook them longer to make them smoother. It’s a NW product.

calldoctoday Got the results tonight, I do have an overgrowth of good bacteria in the small intestine, so when the P.A. reviews the results we’ll see where we go.

gus4416 i did not, next time!

johnsbrewhouse hope they figure out how to fix you up soon so you aren’t in pain and feeling very good again
gus4416 Pain not so bad, it’s not being able to travel far from sources of relief if you know what I mean. I know when I have gas pain the bacteria is fermenting carbs and sugars in the upper intestines and guaranteed within 15 -20 minutes I better stay close to plumbing. Funny thing, it doesn’t come back up except in gas form, but the test find hydrogen and methane and CO2. The hydrogen is in the form of Hydrogen Sulfide (rotten egg) which when released as a gas converts to sulfuric acid causing GERD and heartburn which I take meds for to reduce the acid.

GWG8541 It does, but I’m glad I found someone who finally figured out what was going on without starting at the tailpipe!

johnsbrewhouse yeah I’ve had a few of those exploratory camera things done from the back side. I could do without getting another one. Maybe this will help you laugh a little.
