Mark,

I have worked in the meat industry for over twenty years. The only thing better than a nice ribeye on the grill is a nice rare cut of properly cooked prime rib. I am salivating as we speak!

I do try to eat healthy other than my weakness for ribeye. It really helped me gain weight and get my red blood back in line. Once my cholesterol went from 130 to 170 I started tapering off, though. I ate squid a couple of days before my last blood tests and I now know I should not do that for 3 days before the test.

Got to go...eat now! Just a few leftovers...Spanish style paella with sausage, chicken, artichokes, pork, rice, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers... laugh
