After having bloods drawn for the battery of tests, Umami decided to grossly indulge ahead of hearing the bad news. So off he went to CGee's for a Brown and White Food Extravaganza.
Boneless Chicken/BBQ Hamburger Steak Mix |
Two days later, and the test results are in. All numbers are okay, except for borderline high total cholesterol (206) and LDL (139). What do these numbers mean? It means that Dr. Lois again threatens liver toxic statin cholesterol medication (unless Umami can bring the numbers down)! The conversation goes like this:
Dr. Lois: You! You have to watch what you eat! Get more exercise!
Umami (bemusedly): Very true.
Dr. Lois (holding up her right hand): Here's what you're not supposed to eat, beef, pork, veal, milk, cheese, shellfish, butter, fried foods, sausage, white rice, beer, ice cream, sour cream.
Umami: (Nods)
Dr. Lois (holding up left hand): Here's what you can eat, fruits, vegetables, fish, chicken, and turkey. But no skin and not fried. (pauses) So . . . what have you been eating?
Umami: (pauses) The stuff on your other hand . . .Honestly, what else could he say?
But Umami is a trooper, so tries to watch his diet. He decides to go to Aloha Island Grill for the BBQ Chicken Plate. With brown rice and toss salad, that's within the dietary guidelines, right?
Spicy BBQ Chicken Plate (Plus Teri-Beef!) |
The Teri-Beef is a new item ($6.50 for a plate) . . . thinly sliced, marinated beef, just enough ginger. Made a nice mix plate (and would make an Awesome Kim Chee Teri Beef Sandwich)! Thanks, guys!
