Haha! Reading back my first post and too late to edit it.
I have not given up "brains", but have given up grains, lol.
I have diabetes, and control it with diet. Read a book called Wheat Belly and decided to try giving up wheat and most grains. It makes eating low carb easier, really, and that is good for managing blood sugar.
Anyway, I have had to re-invent myself after having to give up my old way of eating, so I am always trying new, healthy ways of eating and cooking, to keep my love of food and cooking alive in a new way.
Just a little bit about a good side of me! We are not all just about the booze, right?
