HSCC: Delicious party dip

This is delicious and healthy low carb dip for your Christmas party. Where is my invitation?

Mexican Salsa

3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup fresh or frozen corn
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine all ingredients and let sit for two hours in fridge so flavors mingle. Serve with baked tortilla chips. Good eating!

I forgot to update you on my Friday doctor visit. Not much happened there. They took blood for tests, and I'm waiting for results again. At this time -- unless the tests show something different -- I'm not going to have to go on insulin. Instead they're going to adjust my oral meds. So far, so good.

Oh, and this low carb diet I'm on is actually letting me lose weight. 11 pounds so far. Cool, eh? Of course, the doctor told me that the weight loss is going to slow down as my body adjusts to it, but he still thinks I should continue to lose 3-5 pounds a month. And while it hasn't been pleasant -- I miss bread, soft drinks, sweets -- it's been okay. And frankly, it's a small price to pay for better health.

And now a bit of music. Sing!
