What's on your Menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

Yeah I was thinking about Hummus too. I got an invite for a work party next week Friday. It's at a local Whirlyball place. Not sure if that is a Chicago thing - sort of a cross between rugby, rollerball and riding in bumper cars. I wouldn't play. But I checked the menu and they are having Hummus, so that timing seemed right.  Hope I can make the party

Good morning!  Daisy you and your tuna with balsamic for breakfast.  Bless you.  Just smelling it is too much for me.

QOTD:  Well I would love to say that I am too new to have had a meltdown but last week I was trying to load a bunch of plants into my car to return to my daughter who is at college.  They were heavy and I am supposed to be careful about lifting, and I have terrible arthritis since surgery.  After three trips to the car, I just sat down and cried because I can't do any of those things I was used to doing.  I thought that a 50-pound loss would feel so great, but as a result of not being able to take arthritis meds I feel so incapacitated.  I did suck it up eventually. 

B:  Premier Protein vanilla with coffee and sf Torani Gingerbread

L:  shrimp salad, greek yogurt pudding

D:  appetizers with sister... carrot hummus, shrimp salad, few pork rinds

S:  1/2 Syntrax crystal sky, babybel cheese, calcium x2

Totals:  599 cals 79 protein 23 carbs 21 fat

Yum, your morning coffee sounds good. I was thinking about trying the Premier caramel flavor in my morning tea.

I can't find caramel!  So sad.  Please report back whether it is worth driving for ;)

I have salted caramel, it's so good. Bought it on line. Edited to clarify  Toriani syrup

The caramel Premier Proteins shakes are my definite FAVORITE!!! Find them. Drive. It's worth it!

Interesting that I see a lot of pork rinds as a menu choice. I never would have thought of those. Can see that profile makes sense when I look them up. I'm sure that item might open some eyes among my family. 

Some people use pork rinds as a coating for meat.  I use them very sparingly... they are fried and although says it has lot of protein they are just fried fat.  I use a very few in recipes and that probably is not the greatest idea.

Fyi - they are not fried fat but fried pork skin. 

And ...snik has a lot of collagen. We need that for our joints and skin... And hair and nails.. 

Since you have arthritis - check study on collagen (gellatin) and joins. 

Google that.

Here is one...

Wow.  I had no idea!  Better investigate that, and thanks!
