Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Black eyed peas are probably high in carbs-as are most kinds of peas and legumes.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 A Happy New Year to all! In Australia we usually have warm weather so most people celebrate the New Year with a barbecue and a variety of salads. But there isn't any real traditional foods we have for the New Year. I suppose it just depends on how each family or large gathering of people decide to celebrate and if they have any traditions. We just had cold chicken drumsticks, tossed and potato salad, cold corn and beetroot for our dinner tonight. Our New Year day is less than 3 hours away. It was a warm day with the temperature reaching 33 Celsius, I'm locate in Central , but other states could be colder or hotter! from down under new year pep talk! > > Hey everyone. > > New year is the easiest holiday to low carb.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Harry, bring on that shine!!! Now, , peaches are not pickled with salt. It is various spices and I believe cloves are part of them. I have not made them in an awful long time. Harry, would you like some of that Craklin Corn Bread? Cy, the Ancient Okie... Re: new year pep talk! I would be willing to bet most of the folks here, and especially yankees don't know what Craklin corn bread is. We would also have a shot of shine and some pickeled peaches with the meal. Happy New Year 2005.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I can tell you have never had any. I would recommend you go to the grocery store and get a jar of pickeled peaches. Each jar contains about ten or twelve peaches that are pickeled in sweet sauce flavored with cloves and all spice. Each peach contains around 15-16 grams of carbs, and they are sweet and delicious; no salt. Just remember to dose the extra Humalog to cover the carbs. Now when I talk about cracklin, it takes me back to the time when I was a small boy. During hog killing time the fat that was cut off the hog was placed in large black kettles with a fire under them. The resultant fluid was poured into five or three gallon containers and allowed to solitify at room temperature. The result was a container of lard, no trans fat and no bad fat at all, just plain old hog fat, which is now called lard. The remains of the kettle left over after pouring off the fat, oil, lard is called cracklin. This cracklin is mixed with the corn meal and milk and egg to make cracklin corn bread. Yum yum. It is delicious and greasy. When I was a boy every part of the hog was used for food except the hog's grunt. We always had hog jawls, black eye peas and collard greens along with cracklin corn bread and pickled peaches with a large glass of buttermilk. Talk about eating. Now top this off wih a large glass of tea and a big piece of pound cake or chocolate cake. Wow!, that was good.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I'm not sure the exact distance but it is probably over 2000 kilometres away and I think it would be a 4 to 5 hour trip by plane but I'm not really sure on that!
