This is good news for all future transplant recipients!

Is that something you're still applicable for, Steve?
Depends on what you call "good stuff"! I like a lot of different food, junk food I unfortunately (like most out there leading busy lives) got waaay too much into before I knew about my condition, so that's basically gone ( they can't take away my light buttered microwave popcorn,"popcorn lung" be damned! Anybody hear about that crazy shit?). I focus mainly on foods that will provide me with what I need naturally(fruits,veggies,meats,fish,green tea,water for example), and have to keep sodium intake as low as possible (not always easy, and a work in progress), but there's ways to spice up foods without salt; salsas that are pepper based is and always has been, a big hit with me! Cholula, and El Tapatio are great. Hey, you're in Texas, any other hot sauces I should know about? Or BBQ, for that matter? Anybody feel free to jump in on this one!That's fucking cool... better living through chemistry, indeed.
Are you able to eat all the good stuff yet? I've heard that was a bit of a problem...

Yeah, same for the junk food before I learned how to cook well...
I'm actually stuck on the whole DIY thing with sauces so I'll pull some recipes, but for 'liquid heat' Tabasco is a good one to try. I've actually wound up hanging around with enough chemists-turned-food-nerds to be able to get the 'heat' as a separate ingredient so I can make hot sauces with *real* flavor, not just 'let's just mash hot shit together and grimace'... gotta find those bookmarks.
