I went to a movie earlier this afternoon, and on the way home stopped off a a neighborhood pub where I've known the bartender since she was a little girl. I had almost forgotten that today was Fat Tuesday, so naturally, they had a huge spread laid out - shrimp etoufee, jambalaya, red beans and rice and cornbread. Oh yeah, and fried pickles (yuk!)
They brought me a huge plate of food. I bolused for 70 g, but only ate maybe 1/3 of what was on my plate (the rest is in the 'fridge now). Anybody else do Cajun food today? I can hardly wait to test my BG in a couple of hours. I've got a temp basal set for 150% - all that rice and stuff combined with this nasty little bug I seem to have picked up are doing a number on me. BTW - I was kind of disappointed in the movie - Lincoln. First time I've been to a movie theater in a couple of years. It would have been more appropriately titled 'The Fight for the 13th Amendment'. Tommy Lee Jones was great though, as was Sally Field. Tom -------------------- Tom

Your description of the food that was offered to you sounds delicious. It has been a long time since I had Cajun food. A friend of ours used to make his special "red beans and rice" with hot sauce. Your eyes would even water eating it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Neighborhood pub did a disservice by having no crawfish etoufee and sausage boudan, oh the shame. The movie "Lincoln" in my opinion was a disappointment to me also. Eat Hearty but safe, Bob |

I still wound up pretty high...probably close to 300. I have somehow got to get some sensors. I'll be having the leftovers tomorrow for supper. Can't hardly wait! Tom -------------------- Tom
