It is almost here, another year has gone by and My favorite meal of all time is just a few days away.  There is nothing I have ever been served on this day that I didnt like and could not have had a second helping of.  I have even eaten and liked mincedmeat pie.  Herein lies my current problem.  Having recently been diagnosed with the dreaded type 2 diabetes I have been watching my diet rather closely.  I have been doing rather well on all things except sodium.  You cannot believe the sodium contained in the food we eat.  I have come to the conclusion that you cannot eat anything that is in a can.  If it isnt picked by your own hands and cooked with in the hour, well sodium attaches itself to the item and multiplies. 

My menu for thursday will consist of the usual, with the exception of mashed potatoes.  Those things just have too much of the bad carbs.

I guess for breakfast and supper I will just have to have a glass of water and maybe stew up some cabbage.
