My original cholesterol question was referencing your post above that regarding Las Vegas' never-ending shrimp....*lol*

However, I am glad your cholesterol is good!!  I rarely eat meat and I run a higher cholesterol (though still love meat occasionally), think it's familial, had a 90-pound aunt who ran a 300 cholesterol her entire life (lived until she was 82)....

VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!!!!!!! 

Ok, so I am really bad at cooking.  We eat out most of the time, but I want to change that because I know it's not healthy and it's very expensive.  My kids (ages 4 and 5) really like grilled chicken breast, but I have no idea how to make it!

I bought an indoor grill....actually I bought two.  I have one of the George Foreman type contact grills and I also got an indoor open grill.  I tried making chicken breasts last night, but they didn't taste that good.  I don't know what seasoning would be good to use.

So can anyone help me out here?  How can I make a delicious chicken breast on the indoor grill?  I use boneless skinless breasts.  I also usually end up over-cooking them for fear of eating raw chicken - and then they dry out

Any advice is appreciated.  Would also appreciate some advice on making good steaks on the indoor grill.  What cut of steak?  Seasoning?  HELP!!!! 

I have a problem.  When my children were young they never liked potato salad.  They always asked if I would make macaroni salad all the time with holiday meals.  Today my son who is a teenager asked me if I would make potato salad to go with the turkey and all the other holiday goodies.  He said he does like potato salad now. I have no clue how to make this as I have never made it.  Any recipes/help would be so greatly appreciated. 

I agree with keeping it simple . . . just wanted to add that I love to use leftover grilled chicken, and don't forget the garlic.  Love the garlic!

what kind of lettuce/other green leafy stuff do you like when you order/make a salad?

A couple of times I've gone in restaurants and they have brought me a salad that looked like they went out back and pulled weeds. Now, I love veggies, but that's some scary stuff. I'm simple..I just want iceberg lettuce!...then I can add other goodies that I can identify.

In my opinion there's not much that can't be made better by the addition of green or red chili.  I cook pinto beans with lots of green chili and bacon bits with a bunch of spices and they are sooooo good.  And the combination of potatoes and red chili to me is just one of the best things ever.

I posted a while back about a woman who was divorced sat down at a football game with dh.  I was at home working.  Anyway, dh told me about it and he said he did not ask her she just sat there and they enjoyed the game together.  I said okay.  Anyway, 6 months later dh asked her if she was willing to lease out that 10 acres of land that she has so he can plant hay.  She said he could.  He did ask me if I was okay with it.  I said I was.  Well dh went to pay her first months rent and boy did she ever give him the old sob story about how her ex was.  She also tells him that several men, married men, have been out there coming to call.  She turned them all down because all she wants to do is raise her kids and ride horses.  

The only man I ever really chased was dh and I was pretty cut and dry with that.  Most the time I admired men at a distance.  I have ran around with some pretty wild girls and they would give their potentials a sob story about how awful life is just to play on sympathy then they would brag about how every man in the world “wanted” them.  Is this what this girl is doing?  Trying to play on DH sympathy and then telling him she is a catch of the town. 

I do know my dh.  He is more likely to run off with a tractor then he is with another woman.  I can almost 100% guarantee it.  There is always a slight possibility I could be wrong but who knows.

Another thing that worries me, is if this gal really is flirting and dh doesn’t want to “join her circus of men coming to call”  is she going to run him off the property after he put all that work and money into it. 

I don’t know why I worry so much.  She probably is just one that likes to talk, it could be innocent. 

My husband was an attorney who would come home at night and tell me about how his secretary would flirt and carryon with him.  He had little derogatory names for her.  She had sad stories for him as well, about raising three young daughters on her own, etc.  When I was in the hospital for emergency major surgery she even offered to take care of our home and make him dinner, etc.  I wasn't jealous at all, but I did warn my husband to be careful of her and the situation.  Long story short ... they had an affair, our marriage was over, and I lost everything. (He's since married and divorced from the secretary.) 

Just because your husband shares with you about his time spent with this woman does not mean he is or is not having/or will have a relationship with her.  The man I am with now would never dream of spending any amount of time for any reason with a single woman without me along with him ... not because I have asked, but because he believes this is the right way to show respect and love for me. 

Jealousy isn't that great, but being smart is.  Some men with really good hearts can be kind of naive.  Just something to think about.  Your DH sounds like a good person.
