What's for Lunch 2: Open-faced Egg Sandwich

I'm luck enough to live close to my office, so I can head home for lunch on days where there aren't a lot of meetings or impending deadlines.

It was delicious.

What's for Lunch 1: Not Your Ordinary Grilled Cheese

Years ago, I fell in love with a sandwich made at one of my favorite delis in New York City. It had deli ham, fresh brie, spicy honey mustard, and thinly sliced green apple on fresh, crusty bread. They were rich and flavorful and such a delight. I miss being able to walk to my local deli and get things like this.

Deniabetes

Deniabetes : The common but completely irrational reaction to being told you have Type II diabetes - complete and total denial.

I don't have diabetes. I don't have diabetes. I don't have diabetes.

I have told myself that a lot these last few years. Watching several family members lose limbs due to complete negligence and denial of their true level of health, I knew that if my numbers ever told me there was a problem, I was going to do something about it.
