THE LDL 200 PLUS CLUB (BY NEEDWIFE)

NEEDWIFE,

WELL SAID TOO MANY OF US FOCUS ON FOOD THESE DAYS INSTEAD OF OTHER THINGS. EVEN WHEN MY COMPANY HAS A MEETING, IT'S AT LUNCH TIME AND MY BOSSES ALWAYS HAVE EITHER CAJUN (I'M CAJUN BUT IT'S NOT LDL APPROVED) OR SOME OTHER LOCAL RESTAURANT IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA (THERE'S NOT MUCH TO CHOSE FROM DOWN THERE) PREPARE THE FOOD. AND, THEY ALL (EXCEPT ONE WHO'S A DIET FANATIC) HAVE A WEIGHT PROBLEM, TOO, BUT YOU CAN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING.

NEEDWIFE,

I COOK WITH CAJUN SPICES ALL THE TIME AT HOME (MY CAJUN AND IRISH GRANDMOTHERS ARE THE ONES THAT TAUGHT ME HOW TO COOK) BUT THE CAJUN RESTAURANT THAT IS SO POPULAR BY MY BOSSES IS OWNED BY A MAN FROM NEW ORLEANS AND HE SERVES ALL THE AUTHENTIC BAD STUFF (GUMBO, RED BEANS AND RICE, ETC.) THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE. THAT STUFF IS WHAT KILLED MY FATHER BUT HIS ATTITUDE WAS THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE FROM SOMETHING AND HE LOVED MY GRANDMOTHER'S GUMBO. HE WAS 58 WHEN HE DIED AND THEN MY UNCLE DIED A COUPLE YEARS LATER AT THE AGE OF 54.
