No, I did not get a facelift, have cancer or have the Covid like President Trump. God Bless America and God Bless Trump. I had an ablation to fix a genetic heart rhythm issue. The cardiologist said I had no plaque on my vessels anywhere he went. He was quite amazed at my physical condition and was wanting to know about my diet: Low fat, low sodium and low carbs. He liked that I am not diabetic, I do not drink and I do not smoke or chew tobacco. He was glad I have nothing to do with this whole marijuana health craze. He did tell me that he is seeing lots negative marijuana side effects in patients with cardiac issues. Number one for health is getting lots of exercise.
Below is me a week ago October 1st 2020.
The no bending over and 5 pound lift limit is over. I BBQ’d
beef and elk steaks last night. Today it only made sense to get some of the
meats in the freezer rotated. We put in the refrigerator to thaw: pork shoulder
ribs, a pork loin and sweet Italian sausage. Fresh from the store: potatoes, mushrooms,
a couple salmon filets and chicken thighs. We picked up Safeway Foods brand Organics
Kansas City Style Smoky sauce.
We basted the top side of the pork ribs and loin, and the chicken with the sauce. We added no seasoning to anything else.
We started by putting all the filled racks in the smoker, putting 2½ trays of apple wood chips, set the temperature at 170*F and left the vent closed because of a fly. What is up with the fly on Pence’s hair and another trying to get into my smoker. What is up with the shit-eaters attacking real American’s. It is like BLM having riots, looting, destroying historical landmarks and burning down properties owned by real law-abiding tax paying American’s. They are idiots tearing down the Frederick Douglass monument. They obviously don’t care about civil rights and are against the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr..
After one hour into the smoke we added a mixed tray of
Gambel oak and maple wood chips and opened the vent ½ way.
After four hours we opened up the vent and bumped the temperature
up yo 180*F.
At seven and one half hours we raised the temperature to 200*F, pulled the salmon and mushrooms. We put the potatoes on another rack back into the smoker. The salmon was removed from the rack with a long spatula turned over on a plate and the skin easily lifted off.
The mushrooms were flavored all the way through and cooked to a perfect with a tender moist inner.
At nine and one half hours we pulled the ribs. I usually do ribs at higher temperatures which lets them be pulled sooner. A couple hours at 200*F had the outsides right and the centers moist. We put the pork loin back in.
We pulled the final pork loin, chicken and potatoes at
ten and one half hours.
The next day we made salmon and cream cheese spread for crackers or bagels. We also made some of the potatoes into refries.
And all of this is good for your heart. Lean meats that the fats cooked off, low in sodium and most important there was no margarine or shortening used. My cardiologist was happy that I did not use anything hyper-processed like almond milk, vegan butter substitutes, High Fructose Corn Syrup, “light” or “heart healthy”. Canola oil A.K.A. rapeseed oil that contains toxic erucic acid and is really bad for you if it spoils like most of the bottles still in the grocery store shelves. My Cardiologist said my smartest thing I do is stay away from fast food. He was glad when I told him I would eat a 7.5 oz can of Deming's Red Sockeye with some low salt crackers.
