Just made the laziest gumbo ever. My inspiration was Norm's restaurant gumbo, which is a light soup but very tasty, so I didn't start out with a dark roux, just thickened it with flour afterwards.

Leftover cooked chicken (from chicken dumpling soup), beef smoked sausage (no hot seasoning for dear daughter!), celery, green pepper plus a little leftover red pepper, leftover frozen okra (next time I'll use more), thyme, smoked paprika, bay, broth, flour for thickening... Added pan fried onion and chipotle to hubby's bowl separately. Anyway it turned out great!

Well now the weather is talking about the possibility of snow from tomorrow night into Saturday. Most likely to happen at higher elevations. Even talk of it next week. Have to see what happens.

Erratic heartbeat. Blood pressure jacking up and down. Profound lack of energy and depressed mood. Rapid weight loss. Spoke with Dr today and she told me to aim for AT LEAST 1500 mg/ day. I know I wasn't anywhere near that, so I'm aiming for 1/2 teaspoon (1200 mg) plus one Powerade Zero. Anything more is to the good

I hope this works.

The funny thing is, hubby went thru the same thing about 30 years ago. They did all kinds of sophisticated tests on him and tried all all kinds of meds, but I was the one who dxd and fixed the problem.

I think JSF thinks salt is poison, but someone should tell him it's a vital electrolyte required to maintain blood volume.

I don't think salt is poison.

But I know sucralose is poison, and you said you are going to drink it.
