For you fish-haters, here's an interesting blurb about alternatives to beef: DISCLAIMER: I LOVE STEAK, BEEF ROASTS, AND PORK!
Why are chicken, fish and beans better for you than red meat?
In general, red meats (beef, pork and lamb) have more saturated (bad) fat than chicken, fish and vegetable proteins such as beans. Saturated and trans fats can raise your blood cholesterol and make heart disease worse.
The unsaturated fats in fish, such as salmon, actually have health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and some plant sources, as part of a heart-healthy diet, can help reduce the risk of heart failure, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrest and the most common type of stroke (ischemic).
There are many types of beans – pinto, kidney, garbanzo, soybeans, etc. – and they’re all good for you. Put lentils, split peas and black-eyed peas on the list, too! You can prepare them without saturated and trans fats for a healthy meal.
If it's any help, the last company I drove for was Pat Salmon and Sons-* contract mail haulers.The only thing that I dislike about pacific salmon is the high price.

I've decided to go modified vegetarian: lact-o, beef-o, pork-o, ovo vegetarian.For you fish-haters, here's an interesting blurb about alternatives to beef: DISCLAIMER: I LOVE STEAK, BEEF ROASTS, AND PORK!

*they pronounce the "L"
And reporting in to say there are no changes in my eyes or with my vision. Prescription in hand, off to pick out new glasses. And a visit to the nearby lemonade stand forever and after, where Guinness flows.
They get everywhere.....like sand....I did not know there were gauchos in Detroit.

Being of Polish persuasion (all 4 of my grandparents came over from Poland on a boat. Not together, of course), ... ...
... ... We do have a dish called Gołąkbi, also known as Polish cabbage rolls. Gołąkbi (pronounced go-WUMB-key) along with some Pierogies (ref. GonePlaid's previous post), Kielbasa, and some Kapusta (sauerkraut) is a part of the Polish cuisine that I grew up with.
Simple is gooood.We got rice, refried beans, homemade corn tortillas...eating simple tonight.
Oh, my! So sorry to hear your grandparents' boat went to pieces! That musta been really tough!!
.
Hmmm, I dunno how you get go-WUMB-key outta go-LAK-bi but, I bet it sure tastes good. Y'all making me hungry!!! Mrs. Dog is making shrimp & crabmeat gumbo (pronouncd GUM- bo) but not fast enough for me!
.
Potstickers and gyoza, too.Pierogies are like Polish won tons.
Mmmmm, had that last night for dinner, cut up in our spaghetti.
