I'm recently diabetic and have been cooking healthier and leading a better life for the past 8 months now. I thought it would kill me but it hasn't. I even like some of it! UPDATE: I'm now healthy and trying to maintain that. I don't cheat...much. Hey we are all human! I love anything that you can eat with chopsticks, in order to make it healthier I don't use white rice. My family is old world Appalachia so you never know what you will get. But I'll NEVER forgot my Grandmother's green beans and ham hocks. Or her Rhubarb and Strawberry pies. Whenever my mom makes it everyone is always quiet during the first forkful, the taste memory is so powerful. I've had successful Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners all on my own. Holondise sauce, see I can't even spell it. Ha, ha it's probably for the best. It's rotten for you anyway. UPDATE: I've conquerored it! It's easy really, easier than spelling the word.
