Hello I am back from Hawaii

Barbo · 01-22-2009, 04:26 PM

Thanking you one and all for your prayers. I feel like a different person
after six months of illness. I had 15 days of rest and recuperation.
While I'm not up to 'standard' I am so improved.

Right back on my low carb plan (I did not stay on like I thought I would)
but I looked pretty sickly and did't mind putting on 5 lbs. It will come off
and frankly it's been a good two days without unhealthy carbs.

Here's a delicious looking Sea Chowder recipe. It's not TNT (tried and true)
but I intend to give it a try. We will be eating more fish and chick,turkey
etc..

Seafood Chowder
Ingredients
Makes: 4 servings
1 small garlic clove; minced
2 medium (.75 oz) shallot; minced
3 stalks (3.5 oz) celery; diced
12 small (17 g) cherry tomatoes; quartered
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 bottle (8 oz) Clam juice
12 oz chicken or vegetable broth
8 oz shrimp; peeled, deveined
4 oz crabmeat, lump
1 can (10 oz) baby clams, whole, with broth
1 pinch Italian herbs
1 pinch black pepper
Directions:
In a medium pot, over medium heat, sauté the garlic and shallot in the oil
for 2 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the celery, tomatoes, clam juice, broth and spices. Simmer 3
minutes. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes
until the shrimp are firm and pink.
