Food especially, the clean clothes are more important if you have to go somewhere.
The pecans are probably more healthy than the chips anyway.
According to their location lookup thing the closest one to us is near Glen's Falls, NY, 110 miles about 2.5 hours.Really like Red Lobster, but the closest is an hour away.
The one in South Burlington closed probably close to 20 years ago, that place has been an Olive Garden since then. There was a TGI Fridays near there for some time, it closed 7ish(?) years ago and is now a Buffalo Wild Wings. They almost always have a "Now hiring" sign out front.
MAYBE a store security person? Or I guess someone just trying to stay out of the weather.
Nope, definitely not an employee. And I don’t think Walmart has security people anyway? But
And yeah, maybe. Although it was pretty good weather that day but maybe bored or something.
I do try not to judge people though typically but I just got a really weird vibe from him.
Maybe cause I was by myself and it was late. Idk.
But he was wearing a big coat too and it wasn’t even that cold.
But that’s not why. I don’t usually judge on looks or whatever but I got a weird vibe too.
Enjoy! I love the biscuits but that’s it.Hi everyone, going out to Red Lobster for dinner tonight!
We didn’tget a whole lot of snow but it’s still blowing like nobody’s business. It was a white out most of the day.
Okay, I've been kicking around a really weird idea all night long, and your job is to either shoot it down or tell me to go for it.
So while trying to put tonight's supper on my plate, and not having had my official meeting with the dietitian yet, I was almost in tears. (insert sympathetic sounds here) I'd made a beef roast, carrots, potatoes, and gravy, which I always cook in with the roast and veggies. I knew earlier today that I would be limited in what went on my plate, but I didn't think past that. The roast had been in the freezer and it was rapidly approaching it's "ya gotta get this thing cooked, stoopid" time. Ken had the full monte on his plate - a couple of slabs of meat, a mound of potatoes, dark gravy running down the sides, a heaping mass of carrots with butter - real butter - melting all over them, and pepper and salt.....salt....ah, salt. Mine looked pretty paltry in comparison, with one small slice of beef, an spoonful of carrots that I'd rinsed the gravy from, and.....and......well, that was it. So as usual I opened the fridge and put a handful of prewashed blueberries on my plate so the meat and carrots didn't look so lonely. Here it is now, 7:30, and I'm starving! I have fruit in the fridge - more blueberries, grapes, oranges and a couple of red grapefruit. Well, citrus is now a no-no. I had picked up the grapes for Ken and the kids, since the skins make me choke and I'm not about to stand there and peel grapes, but I'm getting about that desperate now. Oh, goodie! That leaves another handful of blueberries. The weird thing is we went to Cody to get groceries and other stuff the other day, but I wandered the aisles not knowing what I could even BUY! I did have the DaVita site up on my phone, which is what we used for Linda's shopping trips, but the diet for kidney failure (Linda) and kidney disease (me) are just different enough to make me nervous. Davita focuses on dialysis patients. But conversely Linda's kidney care was done through DaVita and I know they are the best. My diet just isn't as rigid. Sooooo, we didn't get much. Which brings me to my idea:
There are a million people on this site. For crying out loud, at least two or three of those people must be on restricted kidney diets, right? Some would be more limited than others, but the basics wouldn't be that different. What if I started a thread, something like "Eggs and Chicken on a Kidney Diet" or some such nonsense - an attention grabbing title - as a place to help each other out. I could clearly state at the get-go, and then regularly throughout the thread that the information wasn't intended to ever take the place of each person's dietitian's or physicians' advice....it was a guide for shopping, etc. Maybe someone could share how they bake bread, or someone else would have a kidney-friendly recipe for dinner - preferably one that did NOT include blueberries.
I can see all kinds of pitfalls in this idea. We are talking about people's renal health and that's a pretty serious thing. But if we have the knowledge and experience base out there, why not use it as a guideline? The last thing my nephrologist said to me was that he'd probably be setting me up with a dietitian when we saw him in March. That's a month away, assuming that I can even see that dietitian on that same day. In all likelihood if I do see one, it would be a meeting, then him or her coming up with a personalized diet plan for me, then another meeting to go over it in a few weeks.....I could doggone starve to death by then!! I can only live off the fat of the land for so long here.
Okay, shoot it down or build it up.....GO!

@Blooie I say do it. Not only folks with renal disease, but perhaps also folks who help/cook for folks with renal disease might reply. Heck, maybe we even have dietitians here who could help. If you create the thread, provide a link here so that we can check in for moral support.
Blooie I agree with sour 100%
Me too!

Excellent idea Blooie!
It may inspire other threads, such as diets for diabetics, liver disease, heck probably even IBS.
