Vibrio Vulnificus, the flesh-eating virus, has struck again. A woman from California purchased, cooked and consumed some tilapia but did not cook it thoroughly. She became infected with the bacteria; and to save her life, doctors were forced to amputate her arms and her legs which had turned black. The woman is 40. Please stay out of saltwater if you have an open wound of any kind, think twice before eating raw oysters; and be sure to cook your seafood thoroughly.
Breakfast - Protein bar
Lunch - We have a couple of extra Meals on Wheels lunches -- Cheese stuffed pasta, Lima beans, corn and fruit cocktail
Dessert/Snack - Chocolate muffin and decaf coffee
Dinner - Piece of KFC chicken
What did you eat yesterday?

As the waters get warmer and warmer we may find more and more harmful bacteria.

@LindaOHio - I have no idea, but there are more and more accidents because fish are attacking humans. Well, they have all the reasons to do this, look how we have polluted the oceans.

That's horrible what happened to her. I always cook my seafood thoroughly.
Except for the lima beans, your food looks good.
Yesterday: Breakfast - Oatmeal with blueberries, and banana. Lunch - Cheese sandwich on Oatnut bread. Supper - Venison and baked potato. Kellog's All-Bran Buds with milk. Snack - Dark chocolate M&Ms - 1 oz. Yes, I had willpower for 1 serving. I kept it within my calorie budget.
I like your picture.

What happened to her sounds like a horror movie. I had a cheeseburger I made myself with seasoned fries, I also had a sweet dish I have come to love scoops of cottage cheese topped with a bit of sour cream and spread over all grape jelly, Delicious,

KFC is so expensive. We only get it when we have a coupon.

@LindaOHio Yes it is, we rarely go. We got some coupons in store that we may use before they expire

Awful thing that bacteria. Thanks for the advice. Glad I don't do those things.
I had trout and turnip greens. Will have some ice cream later.
