I'm going to try posting,,,Healthy eating

[MarkUpnorth]

First Posting? I've replied to may, but....It took me an hour to find my pic.

Is it the computer, or me? I liked it better when I used computers that you had to program it to do anything at all, as programs didn't exist with those I started with.

Then came the apple ?? Saw the original goes for $$$$$ if you still have one. What people will pay for collectors items? I still have a brick cell phone? Anyone wanting to buy my next week's groceries for it?

Anyway. Wanted to say, I start every good meal with a dinner plate salad like this. I call this my Blueberry, Straw berry, Raspberry, Toasted Walnut Snow Salad, with a dusting of Queso Fresco (Mild Crumbling Cheese), Atop a generous bed of Spring Mix Lettuces. The 99 cent blackberries are all gone, sorry.

With frugal shopping the store fliers, and only buying what's on sale, about $1.25/dinner pate serving.

Healthy eating, starts with this. No, not all organic, The Lettuce mix Is. From AXXI. The rest is not. I wash the strawberries with a fine $1 scrub brush I bought years ago. Haven't died yet, though growing something out the side of my head? Just kidding. Keep away from the processed stuff, that'l get you quickest.

A $1.25 dinner plate salad. No dressings necessary. Healthy. Will keep you pooping properly too. Skip a day or two, and you're on your own on the stool!

That looks pretty good!

How long have you had MS?

[MarkUpnorth in reply to falalalala]

23 years, if I did the math right? And I used to be an engineer?

[MarkUpnorth in reply to falalalala]

An engineer who can no longer do simple math? Correction: 33 years!

[falalalala in reply to MarkUpnorth]

Just call it "New Math"

[NorasMom in reply to mrsmike]

Count me in, too! Can I have mine without the walnuts? Not enough teeth left to chew them.

We are what we eat, MarkUpnorth ! And that plate looks delicious!

Okay, I finished off the meal with home made Baba Ghanoush (Grilled/Roasted Eggplant, tahini, garlic, fresh lemon, cumin, salt, and EVOO, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of smoked paprika), on torn pieces of a fresh store bought poison pita, celery stalks. Then roasted eggplant parmesan, using egg, panko, seasonings, with fresh fine shred parmesan.Another dinner I pulled off, then crashed. Just got a second wind before my 9pm bedtime.

Nite life ends early these days, I guess.

Hey Mark, I would like to make my own baba ganoush. what is evoo please? thanks

[MarkUpnorth in reply to Sandydemop]

Extra Virgin Olive OilYou can find recipies on line. The roasting the eggplant over a flame is easiest on a grill, but there're trickier (messier) ways misted on line as well.

Tori Avey classic baba ghanoush and Tori Avey How to roast eggplant has all the directions.

[Sandydemop in reply to MarkUpnorth]

thanks Mark, i looked her up. She seems great.

[Sandydemop in reply to MarkUpnorth]

I make my own hummus already. Pretty easy. chick peas, lemon, spices. blend.

[MarkUpnorth in reply to carolek572]

Forgot to mention, it only took all day? And someone who works in a restaurant has to do something like that a dozen times a day, and then some?

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to MarkUpnorth]

All day to eat, MarkUpnorth ? Just teasing! 🤣

[kdali]

Pretty! I'm looking forward to tomatoes and cucumbers from my garden this summer 🥰 We have a strawberry patch but the yield is very low.

[Jer29-11]

Looks good! Definitely agree with the no processed foods!

[JSSimp]

Looks good. Many blessing to you and thanks for sharing🙏🏾

[mrsmike9]

That looks yummy!!

[MarkUpnorth]

Well I just triedposting tonite's salad, diced apple and toasted walnut snow salad, as it snowed all day here? But...making the salad is easier than posting, as I cannot find my pictures sent from my phone to my computer. It show up on the computer, but has to be saved from my email inbox to...and they go???Life was easy computer wise, up till recently. Finally got the forever spinning ball stopped when saving by replacing a cable, but now??? So technical issues continue. Too bad, because that picture really does look yummy!

[NorasMom in reply to MarkUpnorth]

Don't give up! I was sitting here earlier hoping that you'd provide us with yummy pictures on a regular basis.

[MarkUpnorth in reply to NorasMom]

One thing I don't do is ever give up. If I can fight M.S., I can surely fight a cranky old uncooperative computer!

[MarkUpnorth in reply to MarkUpnorth]

Here's yesterday's salad, will attempt post next

Diced Apple, Toasted Walnut, Crumbled Feta Snow Salad, as it snowed again yesterday!
