Breakfast: From Wendy's, a steak, "scrambled egge" and cheese samwhich, their version of a potatoe thingie and coffee. There is a ramp going from the pavement to the sidewalk leading to one door of Wendys; this door was closed. The other door was open. So much for ADA...

27 September 2007

Pre-Breakfast: A slice of sour dough bread with peanut butter and a can of D.P.

Breakfast: A small container of Bisquick Quiche, coffee and a can of D.P.

Lunch: Hamberger, fries and a Diet Pepsi.

Dinner: Great Lazanna, several slices of garlic bread and a piece of great desert: graham cracker crumb at the base, some kind of custer, choclate pudding and then whipped creamme. It was all very well done and was served to us by the Plains Lions Club; we were guests and Kathie gave a speech.

Pre-Bed Snack: A gin-n-tonic

26 September 2007

Breakfast: Bungle -er- Bugger -er-Burger King. "The King was out of "bisquits and gravy" so I had to order their "Big Omlette Samwhich. (I say I had to order because my wife had asked me to buy a bacon buritto and I had already ordered it...)

When I got to the checkout place, I handed the sales girl a $10; the bill was $8⁴⁷.

The girl glared stared at me.
I said "I gave you a 10".
"Do you have the 47 cents?"
"No" Actually, I may have but she pised me off....
She then handed me the food.

Lunch: French Dip (without cheese), French Fries and two "Diet Pepsis" (which didn't taste too horribly of that hidious drink "Dr. Pooper Pepper...)

Dinner: We went to the Spearville Kansas Lions club where I had

1. a hamberger
2. a hot dog
3. chips with a teaspoon of dip
4. water

The Lions each had a bottle or two of some cheap beer but since neither my wife or I were offered any, we didn't ask for any...

Pre-Bed Snack: A gin-n-tonic

Less than two hours after I went to bed, I awoke feeling like I seriously needed to voimit so I went to the hall bathroom and did so. I'm beginning to see a correlation between eatting a greasy meat dinner and then drinking a gin-n-tonic later. Howerver, this is probably a spurious correlation becasue the grease should have dripped onto the barby fire.

Also, I violated Chuck's (Dr. Chuck Doswell) diatribe on "spurious correlations"

25 September 2007

Breakfast: Oatmeal and coffee.

Breakfast #2: Doughnuts and homemade Quiche and a can of Diet Pepsi.

Lunch: Piece of chicken and a can of D.P.

Dinner: At the restraunt "Donna C's" in Montezuma Kansas:

1. hamberger "steak"
2. small baked potatoe
3. mixed veggies
4. and ice water

24 September 2007

Breakfast: A couple of ham, cheese, "scrambled egg" sausages, a small bag of cheezos, coffee and a can of D.P.

Lunch: A Healthy Choice_® Cafe Steamers^™ Cajun Style Chicken & Scrimp (Chicken Breast & Scrimp With Rice & Vegetables In Cajun Style Sauce) and a can of D.P.

Dinner: I fried bacon as part of the Bisquit Quich I'm taking to work tomorrow. So, I had two eggs fried in the bacon fat, some overcooked bacon, a couple of slices of toasted sour dough bread and a MDG. Not one of my better cooked meals...

23 September 2007

Breakfast: One South Beach Diet™ All American Breakfast Wrap and a can of D.P.

Lunch: Left over stew (soup actually...) from last night and a can of D.P.

Dinner: One of McDonald's God Awful salads! The one with the horrible breaded chicken and the wretched salad dressing (the white crap). The chicken by itself is nearly inedible and if I don't give it to my dog, I'll have to cook it in something like tomatoe sauce to make it edible! I made the mistake of putting their "Ranch Dressing" (I think it was) on the salad. The veggies and lettuce, by themselves, are edible.

My real meal was a slice of sour dough bread with peanut butter...

I ended up vomiting a couple of hours after going to bed. I guess the grease in the one little piece I ate did me in. Either that or my digestion is going bad. That happened to my youngest brother last year...

22 September 2007

Breakfast: Shredded wheat with 2% milk and Splenda and coffee.

Snack: A South Beach Diet_™ All American Breakfast Wrap and coffee...

Snack #2: A bag of cheese crackers and a can of D.P.

I swear I'll buy pieces of fruit when I go shopping this afternoon...

Lunch: A small hamberger on a hoagy bun and a can of D.P.

Dinner: Homemade beef/pork chop stew and a glass of water. I am going to do my Friday night blood test tonight. Next time, I'll do it with all beef and a lot less "juice" in it. Maybe I'll try the crockpot again or play it safe and do this cooking on the top of the stove.

21 September 2007

Breakfast: Big bowl of oatmeal with cinammon mixed in with the sugar and milk. (I'll have to get some more Splenda this afternoon. Also, cinammon is the latest this will reduce your bodie's absorption of carbs and is therefore the latest get well quick item being promoted...)

Lunch: A rather large hamberger patty cooked with onion flakes on it and a smallish bag of chips plus a can of D.P.

Desert: Six small Oreo cookies (I'll have to bring fruit for tomorrow...)

Dinner: A "Hoogie" made with well fried thin sliced steak (catsup and mustard of course), a second such samwhich on whole wheat bread, large bowl of Campbell's Tomatoe soup with oyster crackers and a bottle of MDG. It tasted real good going down but not so good when it came back up two hours after I went to bed.

This was the second evening in a row where I've awaken and vomited after eatting something with too much fat in it. I'm writing this a 6:45 am on the 22^nd. I wonder how my body will handle the stew I'm planning on making tonight. Said stew will consist of:

1. About a pound of beef stew meat,
2. from a pound to 2 pounds of boneless pork chops,
3. potatoes,
4. carrots,
5. sautaed onion and garlic,
6. three cans of beef brooth,
7. a cup of red whine wine and,
8. a layer of Bisquit over the top.

The Bisquit layer is intended to provide the thickening as well as a bit of "bread" to eat with the stew...

Well, tonight (this written from the perspective of it actually being the 22^nd) will reveal if I've gotten a Vomet-fecta -er- Trifecta going. I hope not...

20 September 2007

Breakfast: Burger King SOS on overcooked bisquits, their potatoe thingies, coffee and a can of D.P.

Dinner: Hamberger and an attempt at homemade "Mexican Meatball Soup":

• 1/2 pound of hamberger mixed with chopped tomatoe
• meatballs boiled in two cans beef juice
• a cup of raw rice boiled in this
• an 8 oz can of tomatoe paste mixed in and stewed
  

and a bottle of MGD...

16 September 2007 and my time spent on crutches...

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, bacon (some between 2 slices of toast with low fat mayo), a can of D.P. and coffee. Kathie forgot to buy the Sera Lee Coffee Cake and it wasn't until some hours later that I found a frozen chunk - a quarter of a cake - in the freezer. She didn't want it...

Lunch: Two ears of corn on the cob and some rice plus (what else?) a can of D.P. or two.

Dinner: Healthy Choice_® Cafe Steamers Grilled White Meat Chicken & Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Sauce With Linguini Pasta & Broccoli Florets, a small piece of choclate and a can of D.P.

Snack at work: I took a couple of anti-pain pills for the ankle and had to eat something so I ate some Oreo cookies. They were nicely sweet so manybe I simply was responding to what amounts to low blood sugar in me...

Maybe I just felt like doing something bad-for-me by way of a "comfort food".

Speaking of "comfort", I think I'll try starting to work out next week. I'll have to join the workout centre (Sheridan Center) again.

Here is the time line since I whacked (broke) my foot on 13 June 2007:

Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown: A salad with lots of ham, chicken, chopped tomatoes and some bacon. Plus, two glasses of "Diet Pepsi".

Dinner: At Montana Mike's: 16 oz Ribeye steak (I had to slice off some fat and took maybe a fifth home in a box), "fully loaded" baked potatoe (took part home), most of a large roll (took remnants home - there seems to be a pattern forming up here?) and two glasses of ice water. (Kathie had a drink so I was the DD - Designated Driver)...

Then, we split a "Mudslide". This is a desert we tried getting before but they were out of ice creamme! Anyway, the desert was a brownie in a large beer stein, sitting over a largeish scooup of vinelli ice creamme, fudge sauce over the whole thing, whipped creamme and some kind of nuts (peacans?). They left off the cherry. (no big loss but we did pay for it!)

I will never order this again!

The brownie was dried out and the edges were hard. It was like something that had been sitting in the kitchen for a couple of days before they hacked off a chunk/slice for us.

The smallest person at the table got a steak about twice (or perhaps 1 ½ ) times the size of mine. I was pissed off this happned! I did eat the desert that was at the unoccupied seat…

True desert: I had a couple of gin-and-tonics at the hotel bar whilst we (Kathie and I) chatted with two other couples and then a fellow Lion from Chicago. It was a lot of fun….

Pre-Breakfast: A small chunk of hamburger that I cooked to it was crunchy. I like it this way!
