Thanks for that suggestion it looks really delicious

I tried it for the first time this weekend...first time peeled & steamed which was good but I found it to be a bit bland...then I tried it peeled, sliced and drizzled w/EVOO & on the grill  in my grill basket...a bit more flavor that way. Any suggestions for your favorite way to prepare it  would be appreciated  Thank you

Umpa Thanks for the bonus pounds lost   

Lucky Day !  I just called around and got a great produce person who looked it up and will special order it for me this week...I still want to grow it myself  so wondering if we have a long enough growing season in the northeast for it to mature if I start rooting it within the next couple weeks ?...June,July,August and part of Sept. before we may get our first light frost YIKES !  Summers not even here yet and we're already laying in  5 cord of  wood  for next seasons heat and we just opened the pool a few weeks ago !!! Talk about  preparing for 2 seasons at once        

I just wanted to say Hi to Doug,Umpa and everyone !   And to say I'm still  here...My weight loss has been slow but I'm fine with that and I'm happy to say, it has been a gradual loss with no gains...I'm still limping from the Tibial plateau fracture but if it wasn't for Dougs book and the help/support i've received here I never would have had this success.  Not to mention learning soooooo much about food.  I was coming out of a store and someone I hadn't seen for a while said " I almost didn't recognize you, you've lost weight"   I thought to myself later..." It must have been my sunglasses or the fact that I've cut my hair short" But since the weight has come off so gradual for me I suppose I don't see myself as others see me . I still have a way to go but I know I will always keep Dougs book handy and be mindful of carbs for the rest of my life

Lately I've developed some anxiety, feeling it more so as soon as I wake up...I was wondering if this might be associated with my low carb diet ?  I'm not one for taking suppliments or medications....I would appreciate all of your knowledge and advice on this please

Thanks for the info...

I set the oven on 350...using a basting brush  dipped in oil, brush both sides liberally then I sprinkle with garlic and onion granular ( being partial to savory as opposed to sweet) then I cut them into 1/4-1/2 inch strips and lay on cookie sheet...bake for 10 min but I do watch them so they don't get too brown..I found if I don't bake them long enough they don't get real crisp and I do love the crispness...there are quite a few things you can sprinkle them with..different " Mrs. Dash " flavors  or a sweetener mixed with cinnamon...when cooled I store them in a zip lock bag ready for a crunchy snack attack
