Good luck Kevin and I pray for a fast recovery.

Xenia,

Would you mind sharing your healthy snack ideas for cave diving trips?

So far I've done homemade beef jerkey (thanks Celia!), wasabi almonds (thanks Kate), and granola bars.

Wow! You already gave me new ideas.

We are on the low cholesterol diet so we try to avoid meat snacks such as beef jerky (yummy however!). Here are a couple of snacks that will not go bad with heat (reasonable heat do not leave them under the sun!):
1. Pasteli (Sesame Seed & Honey Snacks): http://greek.food.com/recipe/greek-p...-snacks-326367
2. Tahini halva: http://macrobiotic.about.com/od/whol...ini-Halvah.htm
3. Spinach pie or cheese pie is preserved very well too. It is not too tough to make although a bit tedious. Maybe we should make a Greek pie clinic instead of all these regulator clinics.
You can find the pasteli and tahini halva snacks at whole foods or any Lebanese type of market. They are really good if you have limited time to make these. Sesame and tahini are very filling, low cholesterol. Watch the calories though!

When we go on a dive trip I make something vegeterian on the slow cooker and I take it with us. Last time I made cowboy caviar. This is classic american recipe but I avoid avocado, I only have black eye peas, black beans, corn, coriander, and celery in it with lots of olive oil and white balsamic. Here is one I am trying this week: http://www.savvyvegetarian.com/veget...-bean-stew.php

Thanks again everyone.
John come on and we will blow stuff up.
Xenia, tell Bobby im sorry but I am now on your side lol.
Im out of the ICU and just waiting to go home now. Should be home this time tomorrow.

Leaving NYC the 31th of March, I have the house on the pond from the 22 APril thru the 3rd of May, plenty of extra room for you whenever you want

[JCGoodwin]

Get well Kevin hope you get home and recover soon.
Take your time working back into the groove but stick to the diet.
It can really take a while to get used to a new diet but when you can snack just on healthy stuff it is easier.
Take care now.

Hey Kevin,
Hate to hear about the problem, but am sure glad you are okay.
I'll make sure SLIM knows in case he isn't on here for a few days.
Jim

Thanks again everyone. Trust me, all advice right now is considered

[Cavemn]

I got some some advice for you. Don't stop doing what you love. I'll save the rest for when I see you next.

we eat veggie based dishes with olive oil, fish, salads, beans and pasta.

News flash, fish have been reclassified as vegetables!
Sorry Xenia, I owed you one ...

Kevin, look forward to you recovering and getting strong quickly. Good news to see you on the CDF!

Kevin, never had the pleasure of diving with or meeting you but wish you a speedy recovery.
