Niagara Regional Labour Council
Save Welland hospital, fight for quality public medicare!
Action #1
Attend Mass Rally on November 21
This is the fight for real democracy. Workers democracy.
Private health care is not a care but a business, that benefits the very few at the account of the very many. Having quality public health care (or not) is literally a matter of life and death.

The most aggressive plan ever to dismantle community hospitals is underway
Ontario's government is forging ahead with the most aggressive plan ever to systematically strip local community hospitals of services and cut or privatize them. They are already closing down outpatient services: physiotherapy, labs, pain clinics, fertility clinics and so on. They are planning to cut as many surgeries and diagnostic tests from local public hospitals as possible and contract them out to regional private clinics. Draconian cuts to chronic care (complex continuing care) beds are planned -- in some areas, the government is planning to cut 50% of the remaining beds. (Note: Ontario already has the fewest hospital beds left of any province in Canada, having undergone two decades of cuts.)
Patients are faced with driving further for care as it is taken out of local hospitals and centralized into one factory-like private clinic per region. Small community and rural towns will be hit hardest, but even large cities will be impacted as care is concentrated in fewer locations and patients face growing user fees. Local hospitals have been told to shrink the scope of the services they provide and specialize in only a few things. Patients will have to drive from site to site to get care.
Costs for patients are going up. User fees and co-payments are required for virtually every service moved out of our public hospitals. Private clinics are charging user fees in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars in violation of the Canada Health Act and the principles of Public Medicare in Canada.
Without any exaggeration, the community hospital that we have all fundraised and volunteered for -- the local hospital with a range of needed services close to home -- will not exist anymore if we don't stop this. Single-tier public health care without user fees and extra-billing will be destroyed because community care is subject to private ownership, harsh rationing of access to publicly-funded care, and almost all private clinics extra-bill patients. Public community ownership and governance over vital surgeries, tests, procedures will be gone.
It is under the radar -- even most politicians don't realize the extent of the plans
Even most politicians do not realize the full extent of the radical plan to dismantle our community hospitals. A group of highly-paid elites based in Toronto and the province's largest cities are leading the policy advice on this, and public interest voices are being totally cut out. The dedication of regular Ontarians to building and funding our local community hospitals is considered emotional and is disparaged by these policy advisors. No actual evidence regarding new costs for monitoring, oversight, enforcement and profiteering have ever been revealed if they have even been assessed, and the high costs of user fees and extra-billing to patients has been virtually ignored by officials in the Health Minister's office. As we have seen for decades, these cuts and privatization will not save money -- at least not for patients -- but they will fragment care, worsen access, and lead to wholesale privatization and two-tier health care.
It is time to draw a line in the sand.
STOP private clinics
SAVE our local public hospitals
For more information, please contact Sue Hotte : firstname.lastname@example.com
Our response must be equal to the size of the threat. It is time that we stand up and make ourselves heard, before it is too late. Regular Ontarians from every walk of life -- local businesses, seniors, care workers, health professionals, students, all of us who care about equal access to health care based on need not wealth -- we all have a vital interest in saving our community hospitals.
We are calling for our biggest demonstration ever. We are asking everyone to take one day to lend your voice to protect vital services that everyone in our communities need.
Over the spring and summer, we gathered more than 90,000 votes to stop the cuts to public hospitals and the plans for private clinics. So far, no contracts have been issued and the Toronto Star recently exposed horrific stories of damage to patients' health as a result of poor infection control and poor quality of care practices in private clinics.
We have a window of opportunity to stop the private clinics and force the government to deal with the fact that the public does not want a model of fragmented, privatized, inequitable and poor quality regional hospital care. This is a key issue in virtually every community. We need to get the word out and ask people to take a stand now.
Buses will be organized from communities across Southern and Mid-Ontario as far north as Sudbury and North Bay.

Madden 'smokes' field
Published: Saturday, July 8, 2006 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 8, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
GAFFNEY -- Not even a lack of sleep could cool down one of the hottest drivers in the Southeast.
Thunder Valley
Mike Duvall was released from Spartanburg Regional Hospital on Friday afternoon after a successful heart catherization procedure, his wife Pam said.
Duvall, the only South Carolina driver to win the prestigious World 100 at Eldora Speedway in Ohio, was admitted to the hospital Wednesday.
Pam said doctors did not have to install any stints and that Mike even joked he wanted to race at Lancaster tonight so he could remain near the top of the Carolina Clash points.
Another night, another win for Chris Madden.
The Gaffney driver led all 40 laps of Friday's Grassy Smith Memorial at Thunder Valley Speedway to earn his sixth victory in his last eight starts.
Madden, who claimed a checkered flag 24 hours earlier at Cherokee Speedway, was followed to the line by Union's David Smith and Ricky Weeks.
After an all-nighter at the shop and a one-hour nap, Chris Madden arrived at Cherokee Speedway on Thursday just in time to dominate the Independence Shootout.
The Gaffney driver started third, grabbed the lead on Lap 13 and cruised to a half-straightaway win in the 40-lap Southern All-Stars East feature.
It was Madden's fourth start in sixth days and his fifth win in his last seven races. His latest visit to Victory Lane came after he arrived at the track too late for hot laps and shut down his engine after just one qualifying lap.
"We put it out on cruise after we got the lead," said Madden, who moved into second on Lap 3 and took the lead from pole-sitter Ricky Weeks 10 laps later.
Madden increased his advantage to a half-straightaway by Lap 25 and maintained that margin until the checkered flag dropped.
David Smith, who started fourth, ended up second. Weeks, who led the first 12 laps, was third. Jeff Cooke was fourth and Jonathan Davenport fifth.
After celebrating in Victory Lane, Madden returned to his hauler, congratulated his crew and signed autographs until almost midnight for fans.
"I've been good here ever since I've been coming here," he said, as he scribbled his name on the back of a black T- shirt with a silver Sharpie just after 11:40 p.m. "It's just another day at Gaffney."
Madden's preparations for his second win at Gaffney in three starts this season began early Wednesday morning.
With the help of his crew, he unloaded his car at the shop after running three races in three days.
"We stripped it down to nearly nothing and basically built a new car," said Madden, who has eight wins in 25 starts this season. "I can't say enough about my crew and Jamie (Henderson) or how much they mean to this team."

Cops: Teen Set Fire That Killed Mother, 3 Siblings
FDNY officials say a fire that ripped through a second-floor apartment in the Port Richmond section of Staten Island early Thursday morning -- resulting in the deaths of four children and their mother -- was intentionally set by the woman's 14-year-old son, who in turned committed suicide.
Investigators say C.J. Jones was the one who started the fire inside the family's apartment located at 302 Nicholas Ave. The fire -- which quickly spread to the roof -- took firefighters nearly an hour and a half to get under control.
Police spokesman Paul Browne said two of the younger children had slit throats.
Lisa Jones, 32, a native of Trinidad, Jamaica, died in the blaze along with her four children -- C.J, 14, Brittany, 10, Melonie, 7 and Jermaine, 2.
Officials say C.J. Jones was found in a separate room. Browne said his throat also was slit and there was a razor under his body.
Neighbors described Jones as a hard working woman who was devoted to her children. They also said the children's father is currently living in Jamaica.
No other injuries were reported, according to authorities.
The fire commissioner told reporters the second floor -- where the family had lived --failed to have smoke detectors installed.

IT MAY still be August, but Father Christmas has just started a recruitment drive.
Old Saint Nick is hunting for elves to help him out at Millets Farm Centre at Frilford Heath, near Abingdon, come Christmas.
For up to £7 an hour – depending on experience – Santa's little helpers' main duty is making sure children visiting the grotto have a "magical and memorable" time.
There is no height restriction and all candidates will be given a full day's "elf orientation".
Mr Claus has employed the help of Frosts, which manages the garden centre, in the search.
The job advert states: "Candidates must enjoy working with children of all ages and their grown-ups, be able to take care of the reindeer, make sure Santa is on time for all of his appointments and that Mrs Claus is also well looked after.
"Elves will sing and dance with children as well as reading stories and doing craft activities.
"The right applicants for the role will be lively and animated, with previous experience in festive entertainment.
"New elf outfits and elf orientation will be provided.
"Successful applicants will enjoy great working conditions in Santa's state-of-the-art yet homely grotto."
On the orientation course, elves learn the songs they will sing, including Christmas carols with matching actions, and essential skills like how to take care of parents while their children see Santa.
They will also take children into Santa's grotto.
Candidates must be available for an assessment evening during the week beginning September 8.
Former Millets elf and current employee Hannah Potter, 22, said: "It is possibly the best job I have done."
Miss Potter, from Faringdon, who has a Geography degree, said: "You have to always be really happy and make sure everyone has the happiest time possible."
Her duties last year included making presents and reindeer food for children to leave out on Christmas Eve.
Another former Millets elf, Kirsty Ebsworth, said: "I've been an elf at Millets Farm for the past two years and it's great fun.
"There aren't many other jobs where you get to spend your days surrounded by cheer and goodwill and let your inner child out."

[artist id="2408193"]Miley Cyrus[/artist] is a girl with a piano, a song and a hunky co-star in her new music video for "When I Look at You." The track is Cyrus' single from her film, "The Last Song," set for release in March. And director Adam Shankman, who produced the flick, managed to capture the feeling of the film's romance in the clip.
The ballad's video opens with a shot of a piano on a pier and from there we see a close-up of Cyrus, Hemsworth's feet and then back to the piano. Soon Cyrus is playing the piano and continues to do so for most of the video. In fact, when she isn't sharing longing looks or locking lips with Hemsworth, she's at the piano, playing it in the woods, at the beach and in her front yard.
There are shots of Cyrus singing about her dream boy in the woods and in fields of wheat. Her scenes with Hemsworth are incredibly relaxed and natural, no doubt due to the fact that the pair are a real-life couple. Although the video's only overt reference to "The Last Song" is the romance between Cyrus and Hemsworth, it's pretty clear by the locale and the aforementioned storyline that this is meant to get Cyrus' fans excited for the film's release.
Cyrus is definitely growing up, something she's wanted to prove to the world for a while now. And although there's nothing particularly jarring in the clip, the vibe shows that Cyrus is most certainly ready to leave "Hannah Montana" behind.
Check out everything we've got on "The Last Song."

We only stayed overnight in London (going from Rome to US) and location allowed us to eat Fish and Chips at a place nearby and walk to see Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace on night of our arrival and go to Tower of London in AM before going to Air Port. - Andrea
Warm and welcoming. Food excellent except for one entree and lack of chef for breakfast early one morning but choices were great. Fantastic location especially for original tour bus and St Pauls and Waterloo station although directions from station could have been clearer or more precise it took us three attempts. Room was lovely although at back of hotel. Cleanliness really good. Would stay again - Debra
good service nice staff. - Inger
I like the location, because it is very near to Victoria coach and train stations - Norhanitah
Appartment was a "home away from home" everything I needed & handy to surrounding area & shops.
Appartment very clean & in excellent condition and so reasonable price wise for location. I would stay there again. - Heidi Iveson
Staff member allowed us to leave luggage in a secure room approx 7 am on day of arrival, also reception manned 24/7 which made me as a lone female with teenage child feel very secure. - Janice
The location is great, a few bus stops from chief tourist attractions, walking distance from a very nice park (Regent park), very close to the Tube station (Baker St.). The bus on the way back from day trips into the city stops right at the door of the hotel - very convenient when you are tired from all the walking :) The room was tidy and comfortable, spacey (2 rooms), with lots of light, a little inner garden, a microwave and a bath tub. Very quiet too! The staff were helpful and friendly. - Anonymous
Location - Anonymous
Friendly and helpful staff; the room was small but very well laid out. - Anonymous
Friendly staff who went out of his way to place us together which resulted in an upgrade. Booked months ago & got really good deal. Parking car for us was worth paying extra for. - Anonymous
Staff were friendly and went out of their way to help me - Jamie
We arrived at 9 am and were given a room at 10:30 am and the reception staff were trying to get the room ready ASAP and in the meantime we were asked to wait in the club lounge while the room was being prepared. Also the housekeeping staff were very good and always refilled the bathrooms with extra towels and toiletries whenever we asked for extra supplies. - Anonymous

how about this example?
Submitted by Ed Ucation on Sun, 02/17/2013 - 23:19. Permalink
Gray Tree Frog (hyla versicolor) and Cope's Gray Tree Frog (hyla chrysoscelis).
They look identical but h. chrysoscelis has 24 chromosomes and h. versicolor has 48 chromosomes. H. versicolor evolved when two tetraploid h. chrysoscelis individuals met and bred. The two species have different calls and that is the only way for a layman to tell them apart. They do not interbreed, obviously.

I wasn't sure if it was a merchant account issue, host issue or software issue so i submitted tickets to all three.
Matt was the first to respond and had the issue resolved (even though it was a host configuration issue) in less than 12 hours.
Thanks again for the great work and the great software. Much appreciated.

Sailor turns psychologist with the help of Lancaster University
Story supplied by LU Press Office
A former sailor who left school at sixteen has achieved a PhD in psychology at Lancaster University.
James Stack, 39 and from St Helens, said: "It's changed my life because I was very unsure when I came here but everyone has been so supportive. My abiding memory of my time at Lancaster is how friendly people are and that has given me confidence."
After leaving school, he joined the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Arm, working all over the UK, but he never felt satisfied.
"It wasn't really me so I left and ever since then I've done various jobs, working on building sites and labouring. But I felt unfulfilled and I wanted to test myself and see how far I could go."
With no formal qualifications, he enrolled on an Access course at St Helen's College, studying social science.
"That was daunting because I'd been out of education for so long. I wasn't interested in studying when I was at school but when you're older, you have a different set of priorities."
This was followed by a first class psychology degree at Edge Hill University, then an MA and PhD in psychology at Lancaster University.
James lived at home in St Helens and concentrated on his studies.
"I didn't know what I was capable of doing but I thought if I pushed myself, I'd get further. So I decided to work harder than everyone else because I had this desire to test myself."
His ambition paid off when he achieved a PhD and is now applying for postdoctoral researcher roles at Lancaster University.
His supervisor Professor Charlie Lewis said: "James has conducted a fascinating series of studies on how babies develop an understanding of other people. His success at Lancaster shows that students do not have to come straight from school. Indeed PhD candidates with experience of other fields often bring new ideas to their research and James has certainly done that."

More help is coming to mental health patients in Madison, in the form of funding to the Yahara House.
The Yahara House is on Madison's east side and helps hundreds of mentally ill people by offering support, care and resources.
"The clubhouse pretty much saved my life because I had mental illness for years and years and now I consider myself recovered," said clubhouse member Mark Benson.
Benson has schizophrenia, and spent years in and out of psychiatric wards of hospitals, and living off the streets. When he found Yahara House, his life changed. He found support, friends and help with getting a job.
"It's a real sense of a place to belong," said Yahara House Clinical Specialist Marsha Urbaniak.
Yahara House is part of the nationwide group, Clubhouse International, which recently received 1.5 million dollars in funding and the 2014 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize.
While the funding comes as positive news to the Yahara House, Urbaniak feels communities today don't have enough resources for patients.
"These illnesses are devastating, the medications are expensive and access to them is difficult," she said. "There's not enough access to mental health services anywhere."
She and Benson hope more of a focus will be put nationwide on those who need help most.
"A lot is happening in the world with shootings and things like that, and they want to spend all their money on gun control and doing this and that... but there are a lot of people with mental illnesses who need resources and help," Benson said.

You see your own life, quite obviously, from your own point-of-view. But what if you could slip into someone else's shoes and really see through their eyes? You'd rush out and fuck their girlfriend or wife or FWB, wouldn't you? Instead of getting your ass handed to you by a jilted dude, why not try your luck with Team Skeet's virtual sex project: POV Life. Starring legendary pornstars and sizzling newcomers alike, POV Life puts you eye-to-eye, chest-to-chest, jizz-to-lips with women far more devastating than any of us mere mortals should ever be lucky enough to land. It's almost too easy...
Shooting videos of yourself and your partner in the throes of sexual ecstasy was once the domain of dedicated perverts with the access to expensive audio-visual equipment. That, however, is no longer the case and couples from Bahrain to Bayswater to Buenos Aries are making their own homemade sex tapes for the whole world to see. Focusing largely on Russian couples and serving up lengthy episodes that culminate in furious fucking, Private Sex Tapes is the WTF Pass network's token DIY porn site, only done with a professional sheen most amateur sites totally lack.
Women viewers often complain that porn doesn't reflect reality. I wonder what they'd say, then, about the 38 sites hosted by Reality Gang. From saucy pizza deliveries to mail-order bride sampling, almost every situation found here is rooted in reality. As is always the case with porn, though, it gets much kinkier and naughtier the further it drifts from the dreary humdrum existence many of us are all too familiar with. Reality Gang sure isn't perfect, but hey, that's life.
Strangling, choking, slapping, and pounding the hell out of any twinky little fucker that dares cross their path, the aggressively dominant men of Scary Fuckers let no boy go unpunished and no fan of blistering, brutal gay hardcore go unaroused. High Definition videos, high-res photos, and a huge bonus network are but a few reasons to drag yourself to Scary Fuckers a.s.a.p., but if they don't convince you, well, maybe you need the Scary Fuckers themselves to make you see the light.
Want to watch up-and-coming pornstars talk about themselves with disrobing and letting their fingers (and toys) introduce a little self-loving into the scene? Solo Interviews, a Team Skeet site built around that very premise, has more than 100 exclusive and original (and babelicious) scenes to offer you, most of them presented in High Definition and with a definite focus on female masturbation and, surprisingly, not so much on the titular interviews.
Trading in the porn-standard facials, pearl necklaces, and oral injections of milky white spooge for vaginal creampies, Teen Pies sees porn's most promising young starlets lean back, spread their legs, and work their pussies into a most accepting state of readiness. Fucked then filled by some studly young fellas, the Teen Pies girls let the cum seep from their snatches, rubbing it in or dipping their fingers for a taste, and let the Team Skeet crew's cameras catch it all for posterity. You'll never enjoy creampies like this is real life with anyone but your trusted steady lay - and if you do with your occasional fuck buddy, be fucking careful, dude - so why not enjoy the slightly dangerous side of orgasmic expulsions with Team Skeet's latest addition, Teen Pies.
Teens often do all kinds of crazy shit, vandalize, steal, and generally behave like the entitled little shits they often are, but they also embrace technology faster than us old folks, and many use it to (legally) express and exhibit their sexual sides. Teens Do Porn shows the logical next step up from amateur pornography, showcasing the talents of many impressively wanton porno newcomers in hardcore scenes largely shot with a POV camera. While far from Team Skeet's best site, Teens Do Porn is definitely a new addition worth keeping an eye on, as is most of its cast.
At TS Playground, the most charming and attractive shemales in porn gather for a rootin', rompin' good time and you, you lucky devil, get to watch it all unfold in stunning High Definition. Whether paired with another tranny, a stiff-dicked male top, a gay bottom, a lesbian domme, or a cock-hungry pornstar whore, these gals put on a great show throughout this unfortunately small site. They'll certainly make an impression on you, if only you'll let them.

Tanning is a way of protecting our skin from exposure to the sun. When
the skin comes in contact with UV radiation, pigment-producings cell or
melanocytes produce extra melanin, which is the pigment that gives us our
colour, in order to absorb the nasty UV radiation and protect the inner
cells from damage. So you can safely conclude that the quicker you tan,
the less prone are you to getting skin cancer. If you burn easily and don't
tan quickly, you should be more wary of the sun. But there are pros and
cons to either side, and if you tan easily, you are also more prone to
unsightly hyper-pigmentation (darkening of the skin).
What causes uneven pigmentation�
When the skin is over-exposed to the sun to a great degree, melanocytes
(pigment producing cells) may go into a panic, and produce excessive pigmentation.
So what, you ask. All that this means is that I turn a darker shade. Yes,
that is true, but the problem is, due to the panic, the nature of the cells
may get altered, and you may find that they start producing more melanin
permanently. Your tan just may become permanent. However, this is not where
the problem lies, as many people would be happy to have a permanent tan.
The problem is, not all cells react the same, so while some cells produce
extra melanin or colour, others don't, which leads to pigment patches.
To make matters worse, certain melanocytes may shut down due to excessive
sun exposure, as they are unable to cope. The skin around this cell consequently
turns white, and will never tan. (These white patches should not be confused
with leucoderma.) This condition is known as hypo-pigmentation, and is
even more severe than hyper-pigmentation, as the white skin patches are
particularly prone to skin cancer due to their inability to tan.
The sun is the skin's greatest enemy, and while a certain amount of sunlight is desirable, UV radiation is not. The sun quickens ageing of the skin and the formation of wrinkles, and causes age spots and freckles, in addition to skin cancer and pigmenation disorders.
Shield your body from the sun as far as possible to prevent discolouration.
Wear full sleeves if you are going to be in strong sunlight, cotton, so
you do not feel too hot. If you would rather wear short sleeves, make sure
you apply adequate sunscreen not just on your face, but on your arms
as well.
What is the cure
If you already have discolouration, you could visit a dermatologist who would be able to prescribe appropriate treatment. Mild chemical pigment peels are also available wherein the outer discoloured layer of the skin is peeled off. But unless your skin tone is starkly uneven, or if you have discolouration or patches on your face, I do not see the need for going in for this. Homeopathy medication has also been known to treat pigmentation, but while there are no guarantees, this medication is safe, has no side effects, and is worth a shot.

The Angels are sent to Moonshine country in the Deep South to investigate problems between long-feuding bootlegging families, the Bartletts and the Catlins. Son, Bobby Dan Bartlett, who is injured trying to get a shipment of whiskey to market and Catlin daughter, Melinda, are in love, much to the displeasure of both families. Kris gets a job with the Catlins as a still master. Kelly gets a job with the Bartletts as a driver. Julie takes a job as a waitress at Joe's Diner. Bosley poses as a wealthy southerner trying to buy both families out. The Angels find that the shootings and hijackings have not been done by the families, but by a group headed by Max Lacy from New York. Lacy is trying to corner the whiskey market and gain political control of the state. The Angels are able to stop a gunfight between the family elders, Hawkshaw Bartlett and Bluford Catlin, and show them who the real culprits are. Max Lacy and his group are arrested.

The HOKA ONE ONE Bondi 3 is a maximal, daily running, neutral shoe designed for a neutral or supinated foot motion.
The Hoka ONE ONE Bondi 3 lets you float over the road as if you were running on clouds. This maximalist shoe provides exceptional impact protection, saving your legs from impact with its pillowy soft underfoot feel. A layered, no-sew upper provides a near-seamless environment for your foot, while a lightweight mesh provides breathability to keep you cool and comfortable. Lace up this shoe and take on the mileage.
Model Number: 20609029-BAHW
Weight: 10.2 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: 35mm (Heel), 30mm (Forefoot)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How it Fits (based on width B)
Comments: I'm a 43 year old runner. I run 45-55 miles a week runner at 7:30 to 8:30 training pace. I am a bad pronator, and I use custom orthotics in all of my running shoes. I bought the Bondi 3 several months ago. I had really benefited from the first and second generation Bondi Bs. I had to return the Bondi 3 because the upper part at the top of the laces pressed into my foot with every step and caused such bad bruising that I had to take about a week off from running at all in any shoes! Like the commenter above, I felt that the new rigid materials were a poor innovation.
From: Anonymous, Durham, NC, USA. October 3rd 2014
Comments: I have a pair of Bondi and the Stinson Tarmac...this is my second pair of Bondi's and I do not like this pair...the heel has a rigid plastic on it making it very uncomfortable to wear...it will be my last pair of bondi's or any that has the rigid plastic heel.
From: Nora, PA, USA. September 14th 2014

JUDDD - Down Day Menus & Recipes
This thread is for JUDDD Down Day menus and recipes only.
Some of us like to post our menus for DDs, while others do not.
Some of us like to read other people's menus to get interesting ideas for DD food choices. Others prefer not to read about food at all on DDs.
So, to support each of us in the way that works best for us, let's have two distinct threads.
Please post menus, recipes, and discussions about DD food choices here.
For general discussion of JUDDD, see the monthly JUDDD threads.
It's all good! ;)
DD for me today. I'll fast on tea & water during the day, then have for dinner:
2 bowls of Broccoli-Cauliflower Soup (100 calories)
2 servings of Swiss Cheese & Bell Pepper Frittata (380 calories)
Total: 480 calories
Recipes below.
itsmeshelly01's Broccoli-Cauliflower Soup
16 oz mixed broccoli & cauliflower
3 medium zucchini
8 oz frozen spinach
1/2 medium onion
1 bag sliced frozen squash
2 C chicken broth
1 can rotel
Cook first 4 ingredients in chicken broth until soft.
Puree to desired consistency.
Add squash & rotel; cook until all is heated.
Shelly's calorie count is 282 for the whole batch.
I add 1 C of organic mushroom broth for 5 more calories, good flavor, and a bit thinner consistency.
Swiss Cheese & Bell Pepper Frittata
(from Betty Crocker's 300 Calorie Cookbook)
8 eggs
1/2 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/2 C shredded Swiss cheese (2 oz)
2 T butter
2 medium bell peppers, any color, chopped (2 C)
1 medium onon, chopped (1/2 C)
Beat eggs w/ salt & pepper until blended. Stir in cheese.
In 10-inch ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add bell peppers & onion; cook until onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
Pour egg mixture over peppers & onions; reduce heat to medium-low.
Cover & cook 8-10 minutes, until eggs are set & light brown on the bottom.
Broil w/ top 4-6 inches from heat until golden brown.
Makes 6 servings at 190 calories each.
Thanks for starting this thread for posting our DD (or all days, both up and down if we need to) of menus and carb/calorie counts, Cynthia. It helps me when I can check back through to see what various menus I've come up with in the past, and remember how satisfying they were. Some DD menus have been more satisfying that others. :laugh:
While posting doesn't hold me more accountable, it reminds me to take my nourishment seriously and pay a bit more attention to my diet and health. So even if I'm just passing a day with under 500 calories, I try to have a good variety of nutrients in that little bit of food.
So posting my menu choices for today, Sunday 11/28 --
Today's DD menu:
breakfast: mid-morning
4 egg white scramble
1 slice lite 40-calorie toast, plain
lunch: early afternoon
1 carton lite 80-calorie strawberry yogurt
2 oz. orange segments
early supper: very late afternoon
3 oz. chopped romaine lettuce
2 oz. tuna, water packed
2 tbsp. Aldi's lite Italian dressing
late supper: later evening
5 oz. green beans, canned
8 oz. broccoli florets, steamed
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
beverages: lots and lots of hot tea (a.m.) and iced tea (p.m.) no
****** says 483 calories
Well, I got supper tonight figured out... a huge veggie stir-fry:
8 oz. broccoli florets
8 oz. sliced white mushrooms
8.8 oz. green pepper chunks
5.6 oz. celery chunks
1 oz. carrot, diagonal slice
1 oz. yellow onion, chopped big
This makes a great big freezer bag of fresh raw ingredients, which will cook down a bit, of course.. and I'll dress it with
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. HOT chili/oil/peanut sauce from my Saigon market
****** says this evening meal will be about 258 calories.
Still have to figure what the rest of the day's foods will be.
I'd only had a couple of mugs of hot, hot English tea so far today, so had the following for lunch:
4.2 oz. of chopped romaine and variety lettuces (made a BIG bowl full)
dressed it with 1 tbsp. of my Aldi's Light Italian Dressing and 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice, and salted and peppered it.
A lot of taste for only 41 calories, according to ******
I have 3.4 oz. of peeled and cored apple, cut into nice chunks, sitting in a baggie in my refrig for a snack in the evening later. Only 46 calories.
With my stir fry, figured above, I'm up to 345 calories so far. I'll probably also fix a tilapia fillet later to increase my protein for the day. I use spray oil to spray a baking pan, then lightly spray the fish fillet too.. bake it at 350 for a few minutes, then turn it over and finish baking it. I always sprinkle it with parsley flakes and paprika, or anything else that looks good. Maybe some Old Bay on it today? Hmmm. And then sprinkle it with about a tsp. of lemon juice. And salt.
That should bring my calories up to about my 450 limit. I'll have to weigh out the thawed fish fillet before baking it to know for sure. I'm pretty good about not eating a bit more than I should on the Down Days, even if it means cutting a bit off the end of the fillet before baking it, and giving it to the cat! :laugh:
SoHappy, thanks for sharing how you fix your fish. I think I'll try that on Thursday, it sounds good.
Today I'm having leftovers from Sunday, following the same menu plan.
The frittata was really delicious and with the soup made a good, filling meal. In fact, I liked them both so much that I chose to have a serving of each during my UD yesterday as well.
Take good care,
Cynthia, I think the frittata sounds pretty darned good. I'm going to work with this a little and maybe change it just enough that I could have a larger helping for fewer calories. :laugh: I'm going to try using 2 egg whites in place of a whole egg, so making it with maybe only 3 whole eggs and 8 or 9 whites. And maybe reduce the 2 full tbsp. of butter to just 1-1/2 tbsp. I'll have to play around with it.
Does the Swiss cheese flavor come through nice and strong? I LOVE Swiss, so would probably hunt up a good strong aged cheese to shred for this.
You like the soup too, you said. I always think that soup seems to fill me up pretty well, often without adding too many calories to my day.
SoHappy, the Swiss cheese flavor was great. I used a strong, aged Swiss.
The biggest challenge is to get the egg cooked through without over-browning the bottom. I watched it like a hawk once the bottom and sides had "set," and then put it under the broiler while the top was still a tiny bit runny.
Let me know how your variation works out.
As to the soup, it's not at all creamy since there's no milk or cream added. It doesn't have a rich flavor, either, since there's no oil or butter added. But for me it's a nice change from salad during the cold weather - lots of veggies & fiber, but warm.
I get tired of salads after a while and need a day or two of something different.
And I like the flavor much more with the added mushroom broth.
I ended up having the white parts of 2 hard boiled eggs and some leftover water-pack tuna with a dab of diet mayo & mustard instead of the fish fillet, so total calories for this DD is 447 according to ******.
Feeling fine, but I'll be ready for an UD tomorrow. I just want to make sure I do it well and not overdo.
Sounds to me like you're doing great, SoHappy!
I do things very boring around here for dd's so far. My last two dd's have been 2 eggs, fried without oil on my nonstick griddle and a half a can of green beans, and one granola bar with a cup of black coffee later. 315 calories. Boring keeps me from thinking about food. Variation causes me to think about it too much entirely! So, although I enjoy your dd menus, I'm finding at this point, basic boring is best for me. : ) Just thought I'd jump in here and mark a spot so I can come back and read!
OK... Thursday, Dec. 2nd... another Down Day for me.
I fixed a great big pot of soup for the day. It's cold here, due to maybe get a few flakes of snow, and a big pot of soup sounded so good. I had some odds and ends of canned stuff in the cupboard to get rid of, so this is what my DD soup is made up of:
1 big can of Aldi's Homestyle Grilled Chicken soup.. ready to eat
1 can of Campbell's Chicken w/Dumpling soup.. condensed
1-1/2 cans of chicken broth
1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
1 huge stalk celery, chopped into small pieces
2 spring green onions, chopped, including green tops
lots of garlic powder
some garlic salt
about 1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
some salt -- yeah, I know the canned soups are already high in sodium, but it didn't taste like it... :blush:
This made a big pot of soup, and is divided into 5 portions. ****** says it is 498 calories. I'll eat four of the portions (400 calories) and drink lots of plain tea today. (I'm currently in love with PG Tips Special from England. Very nice hearty tea.)
My DH can have the fifth portion of this soup for lunch.
I don't usually eat anything until the very late morning anyway, so I'll eat my first portion for lunch with him.
I'm down .2 of a pound this morning, AFTER having a reasonable UD yesterday, so I don't quite know how that would happen, but I'll take it.
Have a great day, and for anyone doing a DD today, post your menus here!
Down to my sig weight again, yeah! Today will be busy so I probably won't have a huge UD unless it gets overly stressful and it's not as busy as I think. ;) Getting ready to put the chili into 6 crockpots and once that's done, I'm done, but then I teach my girls and head out in the afternoon to serve dinner to hopefully a bunch of generous people, lol!
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 02:09 AM.
