Bitter Melon (Goya)
Image by R Scott Photography
My neighbour brought this over for me.
It’s a traditional medicine for treating diabetes in many countries. These are tiny little things and if you don’t remove the seeds you will have one Hell of a belly ache.
I fry mine or put them in a crock pot recipe.
If you are diabetic like me, do some reading up on this unusual gourd.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bitter melon contains a lectin that has insulin-like activity. The insulin-like bioactivity of this lectin is due to its linking together 2 insulin receptors. This lectin lowers blood glucose concentrations by acting on peripheral tissues and, similar to insulin’s effects in the brain, suppressing appetite. This lectin is likely a major contributor to the hypoglycemic effect that develops after eating bitter melon and why it may be a way of managing adult-onset diabetes. Lectin binding is non-protein specific, and this is likely why bitter melon has been credited with immunostimulatory activity—by linking receptors that modulate the immune system, thereby stimulating said receptors.

There’s a story behind this.
Being a diabetic, now, is sometimes a pain in the rear. Compared to growing up though, diabetes isn’t nearly as significant as it was when I was in elementary school.
Something I did which was very stupid? I used to do just that above and lie about it. Mom was so so cool about cheating–if I wanted to, all I’d have to do is ask. Maybe not always got a yes but isnt’ that true with most kids and sweets? But I used to go in the cool whip, leave finger trails and then when mom would ask my bro and me, i’d lie when it was sooooooooooooo obvious it was me.
And, naturally, fufilling his role as big bro, William has always made fun of me for it. OK FINE! It was really stupid of me to lie about it. Whenever cool whip is mentioned in my family, I feel accusing eyes gazing at me.
So when I was making this fabulous pie for Thanksgiving, I giggled and decided I’d reeact what I did as a nine year old. Shout out to my family that I can, in fact, laugh at myself 🙂

Recipe – Beef Veggie Wraps – 1-17-2010
Image by George Morris
I decided to go a bit carb light tonight and made some lettuce wraps.
Ingredients:
1/3 lb stir fry beef
1 Jicama (about 2/3 of a lb)
2 carrots
2 tbsp mint leaves
4 green onion shoots (or shallots)
1 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp ground pepper
2 tbsp lime
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp light soy sauce (low sodium)
First off, we cooked up the beef on a George Foreman Grill for 6 minutes.
While that was cooking, my wife and I diced up a Jicama, some carrots, green onions, and mint leaves. We put those in a mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of light soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of lime juice. Then we diced up the beef, added it, grinded on some pepper, shook on some oregano, and let it sit for a few minutes.
The whole veggie rich mix went into cabbage leaves for a wrap. We added some diced avocado for extra protein, and it filled us right up.

Creamy Chive Yellow Squash

Doug DuCap’s new recipe for this has been added to HuggingtheCoast.Com at huggingthecoast.com/2009/02/04/winter-comfort-food-creamy…
1st Course: “Low Carb-O-Nara”
Image by ulterior epicure
1st Course: "Low Carb-O-Nara"
Shredded onions "a la carbonara" – with cream, Parmesan and applewood-smoked bacon.
Paired with Elyse Winery "Le Corbeau."
Notes: Oh yum. But, I would have to say, they "noodles," made from blanged onions, tasted nothing like pasta. They didn’t "feel" like pasta as much Richard made them sound in his cookbook. But, I will say, I did read the recipe, so I did have the prejudice of knowledge going into this dish. One of my dinner companions, who hadn’t read the recipe, thought it was a root vegetable, but couldn’t identify it as onion.
Regardless, this dish was specacularly pleasing – very punchy with flavor. Yum. Yum. Yum. Parmesan, cream, and sweet applewood-smoked bacon – what more could you ask for?
The wine pairing went very well with the "Low Carb-O-Nara." Le Corbeau is a red wine which really brought out the savory and the pungence in the cheese. It also enhanced the creaminess of the carbonara sauce. The wine definitely made the dish shine brighter than it already did on its own.

Aunt Edith’s Banana Bread Recipe
Image by Average Jane
Aunt Edith’s Banana Bread
Stays moist a week
1/2 cup shortening or butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 very ripe bananas
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups flour (no more)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs and mix well. Mash in bananas. Combine flour, baking soda and salt (cut back or eliminate salt if using salted butter instead of shortening) and mix into wet ingredients. Stir in walnuts. Bake in a well-greased loaf pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes or until top is very brown and any cracks in the top are fairly dry inside.
The original recipe had you prepare the loaf pan by greasing it, lining it with waxed paper and greasing the waxed paper. Then when the loaf was done, you removed it from the pan and peeled off the paper. At some point I just stopped doing that and began to grease the pan directly and the results have been fine. I don’t really know why that seemed like a necessary step back in the day, but I merely mention it as a curiosity.
