Chili addition, and other musings.....

I decided to try some Chili tomorrow using some sausage I had in the freezer that I forgot to give away.
I will be boiling it in a separate pot, and removing the casings. When I get done, the sausage will be almost impossible to find in the mix, other than from the flavor and texture when I eat it. I will also be adding the ground beef prepared the same way as in the recipe.
I have lots of beans left, and I am finally running out of frozen chili from the last batch.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I am also a Celiac patient. If you would like to look that up, feel free. In a nutshell, it means I am not allowed to eat any products containing wheat or gluten. This includes any breads, rolls, pizza, bagels, cereal, and the list goes on and on.
If you read labels, you will find wheat in so many places you would not expect it. I actually found some peanuts the other day at a convenience store that was coated with cereal! Why, I don't know.
It was suggested that I write about what bariatric surgery is all about. I will do that from my viewpoint only. I am not an expert in the field. I am just a patient.
But, I will tell my story sometime when I can find the time. For now, know that I started this quest at 305+ pounds, and am now at 235, and I couldn't be happier about that.
