Hi Dave,
DD> Probably a southern US thing where chicken & waffles is a big deal.
DD> Can't recall sausage gravy (for B&G or W&G) at KFC. I tried their
DD> gravy on my mashed taters a couple times and it was nahasty. Unlike
DD> Popeyesd "Cajun" gravy.
RH> Chicken and waffles is also a Penn Dutch thing. I think I've seen it
RH> more up there than here in NC. It's a good, but high carb meal with the
RH> waffles and gravy
DD> As you know I've never been one to obsess over carbs. I do keep an eye
DD> on them and if I hit a high-carb meal I'll probably balance it with a
DD> very low carb meal for the next.
I don't obsess over them like I did for the first 18 months or so after
I was diagnosed. Now I check the nutrition labels on packages, like you
try to go low carb (and high protein) after a high carb day or meal and
check my b/g almost every day. I've been more erratic on the last over
the last month with the arm injury and travel but intend to get back to
doing it regularly starting next Monday.
DD> And I'm helped by having to restrict my potato intake because of the
DD> potassium levels that concern my doctors.
I limit my potato intake too, but eat more than I did when Steve and I
first got married. My dad insisted on having mashed potatoes with 99.99%
of his supper (or Sunday dinner) meals so I was rather fed up with them.
(Most of the time Mom made gravy but not with ham or some other meats.)
We use a mix of potatoes, rice, kasha, orzo and couscous, depending on
what else is on the menu.
DD> I don't even want to think about the carbs in this guy. Buy it's both
DD> delicious and habit-forming. Bv)=
DD> ** Yukon gold potatoes work well in this soup and make
DD> the resulting product even more cream/buttery coloured
DD> than russets or red potatoes.
DD> Synthesised and tweaked from a combination of recipes
DD> and attempts to duplicate Eldon Drum's potato soup. It
DD> isn't a copy or a duplicate. But it's pretty darned good
DD> on its own.
DD> Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen
It does look good. My dad had no signature dish but was a competant
cook. He was able to keep us kids fed if mom was sick but if he grilled
steaks, they were always well done. At any rate, I lived thru it. (G)
