LOL...Not cholesterol but I do fret, at least in the deep recess of my mind, a tad about gout, since both my Father and Grandfather were afflicted with it. However, thus far, knock on wood, I've been spared any health ailments whatsoever--I've been one of the fortunate ones with the "silver bullet" when it comes to health. Be that as it may, as I'm staring 50 in the face (may need some anti-depressants when those AARP flyers start rolling in), I suspect and it has been impressed upon me that perhaps embracing moderation would be in order.

Towards that end, only having black coffee & water tonight, and will fast going into Easter Sunday feast, and, of course, with complete abstinence from alcohol.

PS - As a hedge, I still workout religiously, both weights & cardio, and almost daily.

Chinese bakery glutton treats. Or gluten. Gluttony.

bbq pork buns
pineapple custard buns
coconut bun (zero filling so it’s dough with coconut flakes)

Oooh. That wouldn't be good. Then we'd need a thread on "Corky Goes Boom!"

David

The vent thread.

Naw - that's the one where folks go kaboom! :)

David

That's all fine and good, but where the heck have you been for months?? Getting a bit worried about you.

Pie - coconut cream - it's what's for dinner:

Ignore the Costco circular - it's not for dinner.
