Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi all. Roy, I don't know if you are aware but the nickname for the poker hand of a pair of queens is Siegfried and Roy. FYI. On to the subject, Joy and I were talking this evening about our seemingly ever changing tastes. During the time that I was bottoming out on protein with albumin counts under 2.0, I was a raging carnivore. Anything that was meat and fat I craved like heroine. And as you all know, nothing helped. Then I got my DS reversed and began re-building my protein and calcium. I am now healthy. Too healthy. I have put on a bunch of weight beyond what all the medical geniuses want me to have. I claim to be 220 now but in all candor it runs closer to 230. For some reason I can't seem to enjoy meat unless it is so juicy that it's positively wet. This means that no longer do I enjoy a good piece of steak or prime rib if it doesn't have some fat on the side. And I'm talking on the side of every bite. So what does that leave me with? I enjoy hamburgers. If I cook them at home, that is, and can have them medium rare. I enjoy meat loaf. And I put little if any filler in it to dry it up. I want it juicy. I enjoy simply cooking up meat patties with cheese either on or in them. Medium rare. I cooked a brisket in our slow cooker the other day and it is absolutely falling apart it is so tender. But it is dry. The juice it cooked in is wonderful and when the meat is heated up with that it's okay but I keep thinking I'd rather have hamburger. We have two rib eye steaks in the refrigerator and I'm really not looking all that forward to cooking them up. I'll do it but again, I'd rather have hamburger. Joy is convinced that this is some way tied to the surgeries I've had. I don't see the logic in that. Anyone else out there having the same sort of reaction 4 to 6 years out? Any ideas why (other than my being in my dotage) why my tastes have gone the way they have? Regards.
