Did I learn something over the last few days, beside being a
Fishin' Fool I am also a self taught Geek,
(I read a lot and like to build things like radios and puters)

So after a lot of research it seems that there are two(2) places
that claim the title of Pecan Capital

San Saba, Texas
Albany, Georgia

Georgia is number 1 in pecan tonnage, Texas is number 2

Thanks for y'alls input and keep making them Pecan Pies

Princess nope she'll eat the pie crust in a heart beat though)

Charlie(The Tuna) have been great friends for years.

This is a great one for parties and a anytime picnic

Nice job Doug

Whether by choice, chance or destiny many of the FTS family live the single
life. We enjoy no arguments over TV shows, movies to watch, which side
of the bed, is the seat to be left up or down and 100's of other small matters
of discussion between partners. Some I miss for sure others oh well.

The item of this post is a simple one your ideas how to use FTS to a sngle
person's best advantage. I'm not talking about the ends and outs of the
meals, they stand by themselves as excellent and wholesome, but ideas
like can be found right here
http://www.mydailymoment.com/recipes/omelet_in_a_bag.php as and
example. I'm going to test these to see if I can freeze this "Omelet in a Bag"
and have ready instantly for breakfast a big advantage to a single person.
To cut to the chase, you my FTS family have a wealth of knowledge and
ideas , let me hear a few I and other singles would appreciate them very
much.

Howdy Y'all,

     Buford here, during my trip from 285 to 198 this morning, I stalled out
more than my neighbors old 52 Plymouth Sedan. Every time I had to eat more
of the good stuff I call it. I added more good meats and fresh greens I love collards
with that there vinegar/pepper sauce in the little bottle, always started with a salad
with a no carb/low carb dressing did this until I started down again. I never set a
time limit , my scale told me when I could add things back in.

     I found the times I stalled out were usually after a BBQ at a friends or a fish fry
so now I watch real careful what I fill my plate with at this things.

     Worked for me, hope you find this helpful.

     Like UMPA said you have to get back in detox before you can start back down
but if you add instead of subtract good low carb stuff it will happen a lots quicker
IMHO.

Miss Barb,

     Looks like you love ham, nature other white meat they say and also
green beans ain't a bad idea either. Well, I just so have a tip from a fellar
that you might like. He's got a YouTube video about cooking my kinda
ham and green beans. Now he calls that
"Southern Fried Pork Chops and Green Beans" let me tell these things are
so good and easy to fix.

Here is the link to that there video::

Howdy Sweeties, 

      Buford here, I am a Type ll diabetic. The VA folks told me about now
on three years ago. They put me on Metformin and Glybride(Don't have bottles)
so I might have spelled them wrong. At the time of my first blood test my BS was
459 and I was drinking water like I had been in the desert for a month.

    Now for the rest of the story, nothing has changed my BS level as much as
low carb eating and FTS is the easiest of all the ways I have found to stay
where I need to be. The big plus to me was 85lbs of gut and butt are now history.
My BS without any meds this morning was 95 (goes from 85 to 120) during the
day according to what I eat. Now if I stick to Doug's half plate plan it stays under
100. I don't make two plates (I'm a ole fart and live with my girls "LCD",
LCD=Low Carb Dogs, they love it.) I put half of every meal in a freezer bag right
away. This works for me and I have a freezer full of meals to have the next day,
week or whenever.

    Diabeties can be cured and I mean cured IMHO, with life style and FTS is the
best of the best to get you there.
