I go next Monday to my new eyeball mechanic fot my annual retina scan.
And to see what else has changed. When I came out of hospital after the
last round of problems my vision had changed substantially. I get the
dialation and scan on Monday and the get my scripts for the new "cheaters"
on Wednesday. For the first time I'm going to have to have aid in close
up vision.

I am fortunate that my diabetes is "well-controlled". Unless the docs
are feeding my prednisone my "fasting sugar is 90 - 105. And my two hours
after supper figures hover in the 120 - 130 range.

  1 1/2 lb (to 2 lb) meaty chicken
           Nonstick spray
      2 tb Milk;
      2 tb Onion powder; (I prefer real

    1/2    Dried thyme; crushed
    1/4 ts Garlic salt
    1/8 ts (to 1/4) ts each white and
           - black pepper; ground fine
 
  Remove skin from chicken. Rinse chicken, pat dry. Spray
  a 13" X 9" X 2" baking dish with nonstick coating.
  Arrange the chicken, meaty sides up, in dish. Brush with
  milk.
  
  In small bowl mix onion powder, thyme, garlic salt, white
  pepper, red pepper, and black pepper. Sprinkle over
  chicken. Bake in a 375§F/190§C oven for 45 to 55 minutes
  or till the chicken is tender and no longer pink.
  
  * I don't see anything that makes this uniquely "Cajun".
  It is good, though. And easy to do - UDD
