What do I mean about "the perimeter thing"?  Just keep reading and you will understand. About 5 or 6 weeks ago, I happened to be watching CNN to catch up on the news.  It happened that they had more of a "feature" show on, rather than the news, Anderson Cooper 360.  I watched for a bit, and found that they had Jamie Oliver on.  If you don't know who Jamie Oliver is, he is a British Chef.  He is a TV Chef.  He has had a number of cooking shows on British TV over the years.  He's OK, I'm not a huge fan, but I have watched some of his shows from time to time, and my wife Feyma has picked up a few good recipes from Jamie's show over the … [Read more...]

Considering that just a few weeks ago my blood glucose was running … [Read more...]
