We've done celeriac french fries, home fries, roasted autumn veggies (sweet potato, celeriac, squashes, carrots, etc) - sometimes we do savory with garlic and onion in the mix, sometimes we put a sprinkle of cinnamon on top instead.
Annual check up including blood work is the end of October. Last week my numbers were wacky with stress and travel (we drove down to NJ to see my mom and be with family while she was having her aortic valve replaced. She's doing wonderfully now). I tried to keep things stable (worked out on the hotel's treadmill and such) but even with all that, the stress drove the numbers up some of the time, not to mention eating at all sorts of odd times after waiting in the hospital waiting room and all like that.
However, yesterday and today have been quite good so it's looking like it's getting back on track and my home scale shows I've lost the pounds I had gained as of the last dr visit 3 months ago.
