My Dear Miss UMPA,

    With great appreciation and a rather full tummy, I have just finished a very
wonderful bowl of homemade chili using Eden Organic Black Soy Beans as you instructed
in your past post here. They were wonderful, I will be incorporated them into other meals
in the future. It is nice to a least have a bean back in my meal plans without the worry
of carb count.

    Thanks again young lady, you are a prize in my book to us all.

I read about buttermilk in Dana Carpender's "500 Low Carb Recipes" long before I found FTS
here is the exert from I used to make my decision to continue making Buttermilk Fried Chicken::

http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/263799-buttermilk-replacement.html
 
"In Dana Carpender's cookbook 500 Low Carb Recipes it says that the authors of GO-Diet (two doctors) did research and found that most of the lactose in plain yogurt and buttermilk is converted into lactic acid by the bacteria. That gives it it's sour taste. The 12 grams per cup of carbs on the label should actually be counted as 4 grams per cup for this reason. Dana says that she now counts plain yogurt and buttermilk this way and hasn't had any weight gain or craving triggers from it.
Also, buttermilk has 8 grams of protein per cup too! Just a little FYI!""

This makes sense to me. I have never had a spike after eating chicken cooked this way. Just
plain old method , but low carb meal or CarbQuik. Haven't tried Dougs bacon rinds yet but they
should work just as well if not better, I would think.

Miss Toosweet,

    No Daytona 500
    No Fishin

Look at the radar for Palatka Florida , we are just a little west northwest of Daytona Beach

However the lakes around here are loving the rain and it will be great for fishin when
it clears.

I was forced to cook myself a large T-Bone to ease the pain, looks bad today also for the
500 to get started though. Might have to cruise downtown to Angel's Dinner and jawbone
with the fellars.

Later and best to you and yours,
Buford and the Girls

Mr. Mouseissue,

     Less mess is the name of my most favorite kitchen
song. Now I got to get some baking bags for sure.

Thanks

Miss UMPA,

     This morning I had GRITS,eggs and bacon for breakfast REALLY.

     From another blog I got this product and brought a can home.

     Juanita's Foods "Mexican Style Hominy"

This is what I did::

1. Drained the liquid out into a strainer.
2. Placed the hominy on paper towels and patted them dry as possible
3. Into oven at 200 deg. for 15 minutes to further dry them out.
4. Into food processor , pulsing until near consistence of grits
5. pan fried half half cup with Tsp bacon grease, butter, salt and pepper.
6. Mixed half cup hominy and boiling water to cover, then add the
    same fixings from above.

Pan fried close but no ring.
Boiled closer.

If you did the Southern Fried egg trick (Over easy on top of a pile
of grits and cut up, you know the fried egg/grits yellow plate breakfast)
 , I think it would pass for the real thing. Still working on it though.

So , I will ask the master to have a go at it , if you would be so kind.

We both know grits without fixin's are as close to glue as you can legally
eat with a fork or spoon.

OBTW--Can says::

Total Carbs 10gr
Fiber 6gr
This would be 4gr net I believe
I am going to call them Monday to verify that count.

My testers one spoon only--MissyBelle BOO-HISS

Chilly and Chili here tomorrow,

Gonna be in the 40's tonight and high 50's tomorrow.

I was in Jacksonville today for a round of shopping and stopped
by Costco for ground beef and then swung by Wholefoods on the way
back to US 17 for some Eden Organic Black Beans. Never used these
so it will be a new version of my chrome on the bumper-hitch
melting version of Palata Chili. Love the carb count on these babies
though, I am making enough for a few friends so if you here about
a outbreak of human flame throwers It's my fault.

Buford and the Girls (Girls will not come even close to this stuff)
