Scrambled eggs, blueberry muffin with butter, coffee, and 7 medications for T2 diabetes, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol. Plus the ever popular Cholula green hot sauce, just one of their four flavors. Make that five...no...six. I only have four,
Note to my UK friends - Cholula, one of Mexico's best hot sauces, is available at Tesco. Give it a try.
Note to my senior friends: If you have trouble remembering the names of all of your medications, try memorizing them alphabetically and saying them in pairs. Works for me, but I only have 8 - so far.

The White Park is a rare breed of horned cattle with ancient herds preserved in Great Britain. It includes two very rare types often regarded as distinct, the Chillingham and the Vaynol cattle. The White Park is a medium-large, long-bodied bovine. A programme of linear assessment, including 200 bulls and 300 cows, has been carried out in the UK since 1994 to define its size and conformation. Mature bull weights vary from 800 to 1,000 kilograms, depending on the quality of grazing, but bulls in good condition may weigh 1,250 kilograms. Average withers height is 146 centimetres, chest depth 88 centimetres, body length (point of withers to point of pin bone (tuber ischii) 167 centimetres, hip (tuber coxae) width 64 centimetres, and scrotal circumference 45 centimetres. The relevant corresponding measurements for adult cows are 500 to 700 kilograms, 132 centimetres, 76 centimetres, 148 centimetres and 60 centimetres. The colour is distinctive, being porcelain white with coloured (black or red) points, namely ears, nose, eye rims, hooves, and teats and tips of the long horns. The colour pattern is dominant to other colours. The horns of the cows vary in shape, but the majority grow forwards and upwards in a graceful curve. The horns of bulls are thicker and shorter, and not so uplifted. In their native environment in Britain, White Park cattle are noted not only for their distinctive appearance, but also for their grazing behaviour, where they show a preference for coarser herbage. They are well-suited to non-intensive production and some herds are kept outside throughout the year on rough upland grazing without shelter or supplementary feed. They are docile, easy-calving, and have a long productive life. Some traits may vary a little in other countries, but the basic type is the same. They are beef animals noted for the quality of their meat.They are capable of converting coarse herbage into high quality meat, and of gaining weight at over 1 kg per day in good conditions. Until relatively recently they were a triple-purpose breed – meat, milk and draught. The 3rd Lord Dynevor (1765–1852) kept a team of draught oxen, and the practice continued up to 1914. The records of one plough ox that was killed in 1871 at 14 years of age, show that he stood 183 centimetres at the withers and weighed 1,171 kilograms. They were used as dairy cattle even more recently. Some cows were being milked in the Dynevor herd in 1951, but yields were moderate. Beef became the main product during the twentieth century, and gained a reputation as a textured meat, with excellent flavour and marbling, which commanded a significant premium in speciality markets. The best quality beef comes from 36-month-old animals, and fine marbling is the key to its eating quality, while the low cholesterol content adds to its attraction for the health-conscious consumers. Several blood typing and DNA studies have revealed the genetic distinctness of White Park cattle and the Oklahoma State University web site confirms the White Park is not closely related to two breeds of the same colour, but which are hornless, namely the American White Park (which actually is British White) and the British White and is genetically distinct from them. The colour-pointed coat pattern also appears in other cattle breeds such as the Irish Moiled, the Blanco Orejinegro, the Berrenda, the Nguni and the Texas Longhorn. The breeds most closely related seem to be the Highland cattle and Galloway cattle of Scotland, but the White Park "is genetically far distant from all British breeds". The Chillingham has diverged from the main White Park population and various stories have grown up around them. Hemming references the work of Hall in the following excerpt: "- – In other words, since the Chillingham cattle, wherever they came from, cannot be aurochsen, they must be Bos taurus just like Jerseys or Herefords or any other breed. They do look more like miniature aurochsen, but that is because they have not been selectively bred for beef or milk, and cattle that have been left to their own devices will tend to revert to ancestral type. Although both the late president and the patron have quoted genetic work done on the cattle to support their arguments, the zoological reports in fact make it quite clear that the Chillingham herd does not have any special relationship to the aurochs whatsoever (Hall 1982-3, 96; 1991, 540)."

OK, don't laugh now .. I've been working on those biceps for 8 months now!!!
Actually going to the gym is a more recent addition to my lifestyle in response to an ongoing muscle condition that I have. It's called Fibromyalgia and because I have a mother who has been ill in one way or another most of her life I have refused to give in to any sickness.
Getting fitter has done lots for me; I've lost weight & toned up, reduced my cholesterol and to top it off I believe my fibromyalgia is getting a bit better too.
I had the privilege of getting down on an epic "Ground Release" project this past week. High calories and plenty of graff cholesterol was served up by Opium, Dems, Towns, Roids, Soten, and Score.

Are we sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...
It's been a bleak and blustery rainy Sunday, the highlight of which was a trip into town to meander round the shops and have a coffee. As I left Cafe Nero laden with my purchases, I was contemplating the rashness of having consumed a piece of very rich white and dark chocolate truffle cheesecake along with a Caramelatte, topped with a veritable Everest of whipped cream and caramel syrup. Head down against the drizzle, and somewhat preoccupied with attempting to retain my cholesterol-fest, I stepped off the pavement - straight in front of not one, but TWO police cars as they hurtled hell-for-leather, blue lights flashing, down the narrow side street...
Fortunately, I managed to remove myself - and shopping - from harm's way as the plods-on-wheels flashed past my eyes, leaving no time indeed for my life to pass the same way. As circumstances often do, this near-miss had a beneficial effect in that I ceased to worry about which direction my recently-consumed coffee and cake was going to go, and instead worried that my heart was going to explode. In the meantime, the plods had careered out of sight, but I couldn't help smirking as I heard one car sidewipe a bollard further up the narrow alley. Serves them right for driving so fast in town!
Still pondering my near miss, I became aware of the sound of pounding feet over the noise of my pounding heart, and I was almost mown down again - this time by a pack of wannabee Goths, black hair and long coats flying as they thundered past me in pursuit of the speeding police cars. (Er - should the police cars not have been chasing THEM???)
All the while, I was waddling back to my car, burdened as I was with a heavy bag of shopping (Not just ANY shopping - this was Marks & Spencers' shopping!) However, before I reached my vehicle, a burly copper on foot came racing the other way, doing his best to beat the four-minute mile - hotly pursued again by the Goth boys who were hell-bent on finding out what the police chase was all about!
It was all too much for me, and I dissolved into semi-hysterical giggles at the farcical goings-on...
I never did find out what was happening, and as I had left my camera at home, I couldn't have taken a picture even if I'd been able to stop laughing long enough! So - today's picture is representational of my Keystone Kops afternoon - improvised using two of the wee plastic buckets over a couple of flashlights!

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons.

I walk - or I try to walk - for at least 30 minutes a day in order to keep cholesterol levels down, and when I walk, I generally take a camera with me...
On this particular day, I'd walked the Camborne Track around the north-western shores of the Pauatahanui Inlet. It’s not especially long, but it's a pretty little track that ducks and dives around small stony bays and equally small, bush-covered headlands. It ends (or starts, depending on which way one is walking) at a sandy beach behind Wellington’s north-western suburb of Plimmerton, and at the end (or start) of the track are a group of brightly coloured boat sheds - but they aren't just ordinary boat sheds. These ones have been converted into surprisingly comfortable little homes which jut out over the sheltered waters of the Inlet...
I’ve tried several times to capture these little buildings, but on each occasion, the photo has never quite ‘worked’. This time, the tide was in, so I had to follow the track instead of walking along the beach. And as the track mounted a small hillock, there was the photo – nicely framed between two small trees...!
As the old saying goes, “If at first you don’t succeed...!”.

These culinary themes are killing me ;-). Welcome to "Alien X - Ripley's Nemesis". Ellen Ripley (or her nth clone) finally settled down, back on Earth, in a beautiful house with a garden and some hens... Cho.les.te.rol. After all the Alien came from an egg, too. Actually this is an "Avocado Egg", egg put in an avocado and baked (or steamed, it works, too). Quite delicious, but for my taste the textures of egg and avocado are too similar. The bit on the lower left corner is avocado, the rest: egg (and some bit of pepper on the right).
I flipped the image to the right just for fun, and this is when the Alien appeared ;-) The background actually was "window blue" again, to make it look more "Alien"-like, I knocked out the background in Photoshop and filled it with a green-to black gradient.
Komische Dinge aus meiner Küche, Teil 8: Ein Ei in der Nahansicht, Ellen Ripley's ärgster Feind, jetzt auch in der Küche. Von wegen Cholesterin und so ;-) Eier sind aber besser als ihr immer mal wieder ramponierter Ruf und stecken voller guter Inhaltsstoffe. Im Bild: Eigentlich ein "Avocado-Ei", das Thema war eine willkommene Gelegenheit, das mal auszuprobieren (lecker, wird aber kein Favorit, weil die Konsistenzen von Ei und Avocado zu ähnlich sind für meinen Geschmack). Als ich das Bild aus Spaß einmal nach rechts gedreht hatte, erschien plötzlich das "Alien". Und da meine eigentliche Idee mal wieder nichts wurde, und ich weder am Sonntag noch heute Zeit hatte, was anderes zu machen, ist es nun Zeit für "Alien X - Ripley's Nemesis".
Unten links ist ein wenig Avocado zu sehen, als Hintergrund, der ursprünglich "Fenster-Blau" war, habe ich einen "Alien-Grün"-zu-Schwarz-Verlauf verwendet.
Thank you for your kind comments, I appreciate every single one, and your faves!
A Happy Macro Monday everyone!
"cow's foot" - Diabetes - Insulina Vegetal
Pata de vaca (Bauhinia forficata) is a tree in the legume family native to Brazil and Peru that is used in tea form as a natural treatment for diabetes. It is said to be a natural insulin substitute or a "vegetable insulin", a teabag's worth of which can be consumed after a meal to lower blood sugar levels.

I have received some very kind mail from Flickr friends enquiring after Jonathan and myself and also the plumbing. Starting with the plumbing my very good plumber friend has long Covid so we await his recovery to replace our downstairs toilet that has a cracked basin but we have another so can manage to wait till he is fully recovered. My own tests revealed high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes for which medication has been prescribed but I am holding off and hoping to lose some weight and have been given six months to hopefully reverse things and stave off the meds which unfortunately my family have an intolerance too. Jonathan’s tests were what we (I) wait anxiously for as he still has low oxygen levels several times a day…low enough to mean something serious could be the problem. He had all the tests ECG chest X-ray and full bloods but only one ambiguous text to say one test had come back normal. Telephone enquiries only elicit the response that all test results are now sent by text. We were booked on holiday and Jonathan refuses to wait any longer for the results saying que sera sera…so we kept the already altered twice booking which is for three weeks but the WiFi is totally abysmal even blocking me by saying not only insecure but stopping me using my own discretion. This is uploaded using mobile data but again far to slow to comment and for biggest part even “see” your photos so I shall wait till I return home to hopefully rejoin the Flickr community. Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer..all the best Sue
Comments are still off as I cannot comment on anyone else’s in less than hours if at all ;(
Melvin Blotnik is a small, balding, and unassuming little man, twice divorced, bespectacled, and more on the plump side. Consuming massive amounts of the cheap rot-gut daily has taken its toll on him, but he trudges onward. If you passed by him on the street you wouldn't take any notice, a man who's seen better days, and perhaps, most importantly, he's a man that sometimes makes bad decisions, tonight... is one of those times.
Mr. Blotnik has a rather large problem, a slow horse problem... He has now ran out of literal borrowed time... The radio just announced the sad, but not really unexpected news...
Melvin 'is' a betting man, a $2.00 bet turned into a $600.00 debt...
The 'soon to be the late Mr. Blotnik' is not at all oblivious that La Cosa Nostra will be paying him a visit very soon. He should probably choose to pack a bag, after all, they gave him this last chance to make good his whimpering promise, just knowing in his cholesterol choked little heart that he would win big...
Hearing noises through the thin walls in the seedy, run down, hotel room hall outside of his door, Melvin had one last thought...
"With my luck, I bet it ain't rats".
Then, there were the muffled voices and that fateful knock on the door...
Melvin Blotnik 'was' a betting man...

Anne's notes:
Made these for dinner last night. Yummy.
I was running low on garlic and only used 3 cloves. 5 (as written) might have been too many. Also, I couldn't find pitas for less than 3 PP per serving, so our dinner was 8 PP (3 for pita, 5 for the filling). This was great for lunch today, too.
I served this with a green salad with the Marie's yogurt feta dressing and some pepperocinis.

"Auricularia auricula-judae, known as the Jew's ear, wood ear, jelly ear or by a number of other common names, is a species of edible Auriculariales fungus found worldwide. The fruiting body is distinguished by its noticeably ear-like shape and brown colouration; it grows upon wood, especially elder. Its specific epithet is derived from the belief that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from an elder tree; the common name "Judas's ear" eventually became "Jew's ear", while today "jelly ear" and other names are sometimes used. The fungus can be found throughout the year in temperate regions worldwide, where it grows upon both dead and living wood.
In the West, A. auricula-judae was used in folk medicine as recently as the 19th century for complaints including sore throats, sore eyes and jaundice, and as an astringent. Although it is not widely consumed in the West, it has long been popular in China, to the extent that Australia exported large volumes to China in the early twentieth century. Today, the fungus is a popular ingredient in many Chinese dishes, such as hot and sour soup, and also used in Chinese medicine. It is also used in Ghana, as a blood tonic. Modern research into possible medical applications has variously concluded that A. auricula-judae has antitumour, hypoglycemic, anticoagulant and cholesterol-lowering properties." - WiKi
"Het judasoor of echt judasoor (Auricularia auricula-judae, synoniem: Hirneola auricula-judae) is een zwam uit de familie Auriculariaceae. De soort neemt bij droog weer in omvang af en regenereert in vochtiger omstandigheden.
Onder gunstige (vochtige) omstandigheden is het 2-6 cm grote judasoor een satijnige donkerroze zwam, die zacht aanvoelt. Vaak treft men hem aan in de vorm van een geaderd, enigszins doorzichtig oor. Bij droogte krimpt hij in, wordt harder en donkerder (tot zwart) van kleur.
Judasoor is eetbaar en wordt veel gebruikt in de Chinese en Japanse keuken. De zwam kan ook worden gedroogd en dan worden gegeten." - WiKi
I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.

Black walnut kernels are a high-energy food that is rich in healthy oils, vitamins and minerals. Eating walnuts is good for the heart and the circulatory system, and has been shown to lower cholesterol. Black walnuts are also very rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C. They been shown to help relieve colic and heartburn.

We had a great harvest of black walnuts this year, and my husband is doing a great job of cracking them. So far, we have a full quart of nice pieces.
“Gulf War veterans are showing accelerated aging patterns resulting in more and earlier chronic medical conditions than the general population of civilians,” says study senior author Kimberly Sullivan, research assistant professor of environmental health.
About 200,000 veterans of the 1991 Gulf War continue to suffer from Gulf War Illness (GWI), a set of symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue, and memory impairment caused by sarin chemical warfare agent, pesticides, and pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pills meant to protect soldiers from nerve gas during deployment.
Decades later, these exposures may also be causing higher rates and earlier onset of chronic medical conditions in Gulf War veterans than their non-veteran peers, according to a study coauthored by School of Public Health and School of Medicine researchers.
The study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health as the current issue’s cover story, found Gulf War veterans reported high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, chronic bronchitis, and other chronic conditions at rates normally associated with people about a decade older than them. Veterans who reported being exposed to chemical warfare agents and taking PB pills had especially high rates of heart attack and diabetes.
A recent Freedom of Information request revealed that 1,300 Gulf War veterans currently claim a War Pension for conditions connected to their Service in the Gulf. Yet research suggests that as many as 33,000 UK Gulf War veterans could be living with Gulf War illnesses.

The ostriches of the Kenyan savannah have never been so prized: first by jockeys, who ride them to the delight of spectators, and then by meat lovers, their flesh being reputed to be healthy.
These birds, which can reach up to 2.60 meters and weigh a hundred kilos, can kill with a single blow of their legs.
The ban imposed at the end of 2003 on the sale of meat from wild animals, apart from ostrich and crocodile, has led to an increase in demand for ostrich meat, which is high in protein and low in cholesterol. Only the meat of the legs is marketed. Ostriches are slaughtered at the age of eight months to ensure that the meat is tender.
Ostriches have a life expectancy of 70 years and females can lay up to 35 eggs per clutch, some of which are never fertilized.
Six young pigs share a corner of an enclosure and each other's body warmth to sleep after a healthy feeding.
Although considered a vegetable, mushrooms are neither a plant nor animal food. They are a type of fungus that contains a substance called ergosterol, similar in structure to cholesterol in animals. Ergosterol can be transformed into vitamin D with exposure to ultraviolet light. -- Courtesy Harvard University School of Public Health
