The Absolutely Best Bouillabaisse/Ragout` You'll Never Have

...because while I have 5 liters of this, I'll be damned if I could ever make it again. An every changing recipe that probably can never be replicated...lol

I already have enough joint, muscle and tendon pain from 42 years of hard labor even more if one counts the years working on the kill floor of a slaughter house so I stand with no statins. If you had my un treated numbers I suspect you’d say no to the doc too.

LDL 124
HDL 63
Triglycerides 52
Total 201
BP a touch high at the dr office but fine at home. I made dietary improvements and in about 3 weeks I go back for a lipid retest and I fully expect positive results. Either way no, no no statins for me. Paul

No, I did get my hand made with love knitted cap from Alastair...and I love my cap, it is being a model that is proving to be difficult. I'll get there...I am sometimes too critical of my self...I will get a portrait made.

On another subject:

Let me start by saying that honest people can honestly disagree, and many people I know completely agree that satins are bad for you. To the contrary, I LOVE me some Satins!....lol

We are all just a chemical bath anyway, and these have proved to be extremely effective and pulling my cholesterol down from the 300 plus level to under 100 at 92. I've been taking them for maybe a decade now without a concern. 

My problem is that my mother was a nurse and back then you could spend, even as a child, a lot of time in hospitals wandering around and working alongside your mother, situations that would be totally unallowed today...

In the end, I suppose I am pro proven established medications. It's just astonishing to me how well many of these medications work. Still, one has to be careful and try to understand how their own body works, but for me, satins have been amazingly trouble free and more imo0rtantly, effective.

Best Wishes, Your Pal, Traveller

I think you blew your chance for a “handsome hat”, it made all the difference in the world for me but the clock ran out and the window is probably now closed for procrastinators.

You too make a great point about living while on earth, never really thought about it that way. My doc wanted me to come in for the statin talk after my last annual exam. Geez I’m just barely over the threshold and she wants me on statins, nope not happening. Paul

And T you would have looked stunning in the blue hat with a red stripe in it.

LOL....Re LDL's...Paul makes a very good point; I have already defrosted and consumed two more of these wondrously tasty dishes...fish, seafood, is supposed to be good for you, but the shrimp is first sauteed in rich Irish butter...so.....

But good is good, I can't eat power greens salads every day...though I do eat oatmeal and two pieces of fruit every morning...I try, but hell, I'm going to be dead, and maybe in Hell (lol), so I have to enjoy something here on the earth.

If only the good die young...I must be a pretty bad person.

I say the above because Paul's portrait picture is so damned good that it irritates me greatly....I tried mine yesterday but even with some female help...I don't think any of the images are usable.

Paul is handsome, I am not...Damn!

Traveller, complaining, gotta go to work, clients coming in and I can't even find my cell phone! Chao

If we’re going down with the ship then let’s go all the way, what should I bring for desert? Low fat prospects need not apply. Paul

Yum! I'll bring the wine.

Tough that is a fine looking seafood stew.

The doc is gonna be pissed at you, that looks like it might play havoc with your LDL’s. You’ll need to double up on the oatmeal, almonds and avocados for a few days. Second thought weeks. Paul
