PING Jill: butternut squash question
"jmcquown" wrote
"cshenk" wrote in message it's not in season. I only suggested the soup because of Matthew's limited diet at the moment. It seemed to fit the bill Sadly he's not allowed winter squashes yet. That doesnt come until he's allowed rice, potatoes, and other carbs. Yes, I read that later after he posted what he's allowed to eat. I just didn't think about squash being "starch". It would be perfect if he didn't have that restriction. Gentle easy item that purees well! |

I just didn't think about squash being "starch". It isn't. Squashes have very little carbohydrate. What they do have is lots of fibre. Is Matthew having to limit both carbs and fibre? Not sure and it may be his list just didnt show the few he is allowed. Either way, I avoided them as they are listed as on his 'off list'. (Gotta post set 3 but that's easy as he's allowed anything by then, just careful portions so needs things you can reliably cook once then rewarm or eat cold). |

Or, unless you want and eat a lot of veggies, you can buy already cut up,
most veggies these days. Someone said they cost so much more. We looked in her fridge and she had, half a head of lettuce turning brown, half bag of carrots that were, for lack of a better word, getting slick. A half onion gone bad. Assortment of other things that would be thrown out. "Yowie" wrote in message ...

They're a lifesaver around here- Dave can't cut vegetables easily due to his hands so I buy them so he can steam them to have with his lunch, much healthier than some other options. In winter I buy the ready prepared packs of stewing vegetables and make stews that last a couple of days with them. I don't find anything goes to waste as I don't buy big packs. I'm also hooked on those ready to eat carrot batons, I often have them and some humus (carmelised onion humus is divine!) on my desk to nibble on instead of having lunch at work Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

PING Jill: butternut squash question
well there is where i can say having mine is fine, because it came in a box
of auction stuff we bought for something else entirely, a dollar for the box, and this was just in there... i got the box for a griswald cast iron ash try with a matchbook holder, this box had the chopper and a wagner cast iron ash tray as well, Lee "Yowie" wrote in message ...

when you figure in the acutal veggies bought vs veggies used and the waste
of clearing away say outside cabbage leaves, prechopped veggies definitely have their place, Lee "Granby" wrote in message ...

There's an airline that serves steaks? I haven't gotten a meal on a plane in a few years now! Take a trans-Pacific flight - they'll feed you if they don't want you to starve to death. I guess if your trip is longer than say 7 or 8 hours, then they have to feed you. On domestic flights (in the continental US) many airlines don't serve meals anymore. I pack my own food, which has its own set of problems. First, it has to be non-perishable, because no way would I be allowed to bring an ice pack on board (at room temperature, those things are "gel", which is not allowed). Recently I lost a jar of peanut butter at the security checkpoint because that's considered a "paste", evidently another major terrorist tool. I was bummed about that!

I also make other veggie soups by roasting the veggies in the oven first. Roast cauliflower soup, roast carrot soup, roast mixed vegetables etc. Gives a whole new level of flavour to the soup. That sounds great - I'm going to try that! You've been a source of some really good cooking ideas.
