It may not harm your stomach, but I shudder to think what it
is doing to a diabetic's blood glucose levels an hour after
breakfast.

The first ingredient is two cups of rice, the rest includes
lentils.

What is an "idlis"?

Idli's are steamed rice/lentil cakes. They are normally served with a
rich, spicy sauce called Sambar. They are one of my favorite breakfast
treats although I can only eat a few of them at a meal. They impact my
glucose less than you might imagine as the lentils seem to mitigate
the effect of the rice a bit.

While I've made idli's from scratch as this recipe describes there are
packaged mixes available in our local Indian stores that are much
easier and quicker to make.

Hey, Pete, as often happens, I can't eat that, but it sure is nice to
see you 'round these parts again!

I'm Ok. We got flooded in Hurricane IKE along with a lot of Houston
houses.
We're gradually getting the house put back together.

are you?

I'm so sorry, that must've been horrifying.

Scary! And messy... hope you didn't lose anything of value. I have an
image of a lot of cookery books going for a swim...

We knew the hurricane was coming and moved almost everything to
safety. All 200+ cookbooks are safe and dry.

we only had about a foot (33cm) of water through the house. It
damaged floors and some wallboard but there was no major loss of
anything.
We were without electricity for 16 days but were able to cook on the
gas stove. I bought a small generator that kept the refrigerator cold
and gave us a few lights.

Others had it far worse as over 25,000 homes were destroyed along the
Texas coast. Some people came home to a pile of rubble and a concrete
slab where their home used to be.
