Google can be your friend, too. In the upper right corner of the

Blowing raspberries your way!

As a public service, I submit to you:

With a lovely picture of the various potted meat products offered to the
American consumer.

How/why did you find that! more importantly - why did someone think this was
worthy of that much research.

Absolutely. But you can't regulate what goes into the husband when he's
not home.

When we first got married, I was puzzled how he could be gaining weight
on what I was feeding him. Then I found out. On his way to work, he
supplemented my healthy breakfast with a 600-calorie muffin slathered
with butter. He topped off the low-cal lunch I packed with a bucket of
the Colonel's finest. After a low-fat dinner, he'd run an errand by way
of either Dunkin Donuts or the ice cream shop.

It's not that I'm a bad cook, it's that I don't cook the way his mother
did (with lots of salt, lots of fried food, gravy on everything) and my
healthy meals made him feel "deprived".

OK, how long have you been married to m y Keith? g
I remember one summer when he swore that he wasn't eating anything
but what I prepared and he kept gaining weight. Turns out he was
DRINKING a minimum of two iced cappucinos every day!

AHEM!!! Recipe please! Remember, I live in hurricane territory and I

shelf,
plus I pride myself on being able to serve my family tasty, healthful
meals for at least a week without benefit of electricity.

Olwyn Mary in New Orleans.
Corned beef I still have and eat. And the family still enjoys rissles
(sp).
I don't make them anymore, too time consuming, but I do love a rissle
every
now and then.

What's a rissle? Google was no help

Rissole, I bet. Pronounced fast.

You got it! Got to get it out before the drool hits. ;-))

LOL!

I tried everything and none of it worked.

I finally thought I'd hit on the solution ... I took away all his money,
his ATM card, his credit cards, his checkbook, anything that could be
used to pay for junk food. Didn't work. He'd hit up friends and
co-workers that he needed to borrow gas money, and they always gave him
the loan. And never knew that he was spending it at KFC instead of Chevron.
