30 November 2007

Breakfast: Left over roast beef, a couple of small potatoes and a largish slice of sour dough bread soaked in the juices and a can of D.P. and a cup or two of coffee.

Lunch: Bugger Burger King for an Anus Angus burger, "King Sized" fries and a largish glass of "Diet Pepsi".

This was a seminal meal!

We thought about the price and my wife said "all the prices keep going up!" I suggested that maybe now is the time to start packing our lunches. I suggested samwhiches, carrots and apples or bananas. It sounded real reasonable while we were leaving "the King" but now (at 8:57 pm) I seriously doubt this venture if "improved eatting" will last long. It is simply too easy to score some quick food even if the shit is seriously damanging us...

Dinner: A can of Healthy Choice_® Chicken With Rice Soup and a 1.5 oz bag of "Cheeze-It" _{Baked Snack Crackers} added and of course, a can of D.P.

2^nd Dinner: After the dinner fiasco (blood sugar of 157 two hours after finishing eatting "dinner"), I had the same size of soup (170 calories) but this was the Healthy Choice Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup and (of course?) a glass of iced water. (Yes, "iced water". It is 9 47 pm and simply way too late for me to consume caffine if I plan on getting to sleep at my usual: around 12:30 am...)

Pre-Bed Snack: A thick slice of sour dough bread and peanut butter. I also had a MDG; this was the first time in months that a beer actually tasted good.

29 November 2007

Breakfast: I had my annual physical at the local VA Clinic so I had to do the fasting thing. I went out to breakfast at a local truck stop and had:

• 2 pork chops,
• "fried potatoes" (actually mashed potatoes sort of fried),
• two eggs over medium (a bit undercooked in my opinion, must be a new cook up from Old Mexico),
• two slices of whole wheat toast with grape jelly and
• a couple of cups of not too bad coffee!

Aside from the "fried potatoes" and the insipit eggs, it was a fine meal. They do a good job with not undercooked the pork chops...

Lunch: Went to Quixos where I had a bowl of broccoli cheese soup and a regular sized beef samwhich (I'm forgotten what exactly they called it...) Actually, I only ate ½ of the samwhich. I was still full from breakfast and the soup filled in any remaining "voids" in my stomach. I would have been better off had we gone to Taco Hell Bell for some kind of Tacos...

Snack: Some cookies I baked at home; this is the third batch I've made this week and the first that I didn't burn! I guess reading and following the instructions on the package does work... ;-)

Dinner: Healthy Choice_®Cafe Steamers^™ Grilled White Meat Chicken & Roasted Red Pepper ALfredo Sauce With Linguini Pasta & Broccoli Florets

Pre-Bed Snack: A slice of sour dough bread with peanut butter and a gin-n-tonic...

• two cans of D.P.

Dinner: A South Beach Diet^™ "All American" Breakfast Wrap and a can of D.P. The "All American Breakfast Wrap is:

Scrambled Egg White, Reduced Fat Mozzarella & Nonfat Cheddar Cheeses, Tomatoes, Smoked Turkey Bacon & Cheese in a whole wheat tortilla.

27 NOvember 2007

Breakfast: A bowl of spoon sized shredded wheat and a slice of sour dough bread with peanut butter and a can of DP (plus, of course, a cup of instant coffee to start the day).

Snack: A couple of chunks of choclate fudge.

Lunch: Left over roast beef and a couple of small boiled potatoes. I tried eatting some Cheeze-Its but they tasted wretched. (Probably just my stomach or perhaps I'm finally tasting their true taste for the first time?)

Snack: Another chunk of choclate fudge. Something seems to be giving me gas...

Dinner:

Snack: Two gin-n-tonic and boy did I feel crappy after I went to bed. My days of drinking with impunty seem to be gone...

26 November 2007

Breakfast: Aunt Jemima pancakes and sausage, a cup of coffee and a can of D.P.

Lunch: At Pizza Hut: Two thin slices of pepperoni pizza, salad, choclate pudding and three of those little vinilla cookies and cottage cheese plus two large glasses of "Diet Pepsi".

Dinner: Salad with "bacon bits" and no fat 1000-Island Dressing and a can of D.P.

Snack: Two gin-n-tonic and boy did I feel crappy after I went to bed. My days of drinking with impunty seem to be gone...

Breakfast: Left over turkey, mashed potatoes and a can of D.P.

Lunch: Hamber and a little bit of potaote salad and a can of D.P.

Dinner:

Pre-Bed Snack:

23 November 2007

Breakfast: Leftover turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy and a can of D.P.

Lunch: We made the mistake of going to the rebuilt, reopened "Long John Silvers" (I've finally gotten over my habit of calling it "Long Dong's" or "Long Dong Silvers"). There, I ordered the 2 chicken plank, 2 fish plant combo. I actually got a 1 chicken and 1 fish plank combo. They didn't charge me for the 2 fers. My wife ordered the "Sampler Platter" and got everything save for the

• cole slau,
• tarter sauce and
• napkins

She was quite angry and wondered about going back to complaig. I said it wasn't worth it; in the future, I think that "Long Dong John Silver's" has joined "Kentucky Fried Rat Chicken" on the avoidance list. What is "KFC" on the no-go/no-buy list? I've gotten raw or at least "rare" chicken 2 of the last 6 times we've gone to the Dodge City Kansas "KFC" and the prices are just ridicious.

"Nuff said" to quote some Marvel Comics Hero.

Dinner: Healthy Choice_® Cafe Steramers^™ Creamy Dill Salmon (Wild Salmon Fillet Slices VOer Penne Pasta & Broccoli Florets With Creamy Dill Sauce) and a can of D.P.

21 November 2007

Breakfast: Aunt Jemima pancakes and sausage, a cup of coffee, a can of D.P. and another cup of coffee.

Lunch: Quixos for two of their little peta bread samwhich thingies (one chicken the other roast beef) and a bowl of broccoli cheese soup. (I should have had two bowls and skipped the pseudo-gyros; they were fine but the soup was "finer".)

Snack: I had a craving for a small Dairy Queen ice creamme cone dipped in choclate; it was quite good even if flurries had been falling an hour or so before and it was quite cold outside...

¿Snack? A big cup of really strong coffee...

Dinner: Left over roast beef and a can of pre-cut potatoes and two cans of D.P. It tasted good but I should not have eatten the whole thing; I have a bit of an upset stomach now and will have to drink a bit of "Pink" (Pepto Bismol) when I get home or risk blowing chunks an hour after crashing. (On second throught, I finished dinner about 6:40 pm and won't be crashing till about 12:30 am or so and that may be long enuf for this to exit my stomach. We'll see...)

On a different note, I "had the D" yesterday, the day before and twice today. I wonder iff'n I can't handle excessive amounts of caffein?

20 November 2007

Breakfast: Cherios and a peanut butter and honey samwhich, coffee and a can of D.P.

The honey tasted incredibly sweet and nearly inedible yet at the tim eof this writing, 8:25 pm, I feel the urge to eat some honey. I wonder if my blood sugar has dropped a tad during the day? Nahhhh...it was 138...

It would have been somewhat less, I suspect, if I'd remember to take my fucking Metformin while eatting dinner...

Lunch: At Wendy's, a "Baconator: that is, a double hamberger with strips of bacon, baked potatoe with butter and sour creamme and a medium "Diet Pepsi" with no ice.

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

Breakfast: Small piece of hamberger, two scrambled eggs, 2 slices of sour dough toast, coffee and a can of D.P.

Lunch: Three hard tacos "deluxe" and a medium "Diet Pepsi" at Taco Bell.

Snack:A couple of small pieces of dark choclate...

Dinner: Healthy Choice_® Cafe Steamers^™ Grilled White Meat Chicken & Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Sauce With Linguini Pasta & Broccoli Florets, a 1.5 oz bag ofgg Lay's_® Classic Potatoe Chips and a can of D.P.

18 November 2007

Breakfast: Left over pot roast and mashed potatoes from several days ago and a can of D.P.

Lunch: Two brats in buns and a can of D.P.

Dinner: Pizza and a can of Foster's Lagrer.

Pre-Bed Snack: A gin-n-tonic and several small slices of "home made bread". That is, "French Bread" that I made from a tube of dough this afternoon.

As of late, I am feeling a bit of late evening nausea. If this continues, I might have to see my family MD...

17 November 2007

Breakfast: Kathie's big breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon (some in a sandwhich), Serra Lee Coffee Cake, coffee and a can of D.P.

Lunch: We had lunch at a restaurant in Garden City, Kansas. I ordered a ham and Cheddar omelet, whole wheat toast, hash browns and a glass of Diet Pepsi with no ice. It took a very long time to get the order and the omelet was on the cool side (certainly wasn't hot), the hash browns were that crispy from being in the warming dish too long and after getting the food, "our" waitress disappeared. I had to ask another waitress for a refill of the Diet Pepsi and never did get a second cup of coffee. It later seemed like "our" waitress had too many tables but the other waitress didn't seem too busy...

Dinner: A large hamburger, hominy with chunks of ham and water. My 2 hour post eatting blood sugar score was 170. I can only conclude the hominy jacked my blood sugar...

To comiserate, I had a gin-n-tonic. (I would have celebrated with a gin-n-tonic had it been a good score; I guess I have become my father. He liked his "Old Fashions" too after he was b eing treated for type 1 diabetes...

Several hours after eatting, I kept waking with stomich juickes in my mouth (vomit actually). Instead of going to the hallway bathroom to barf, I took a good swig of "Pink" - Pepto Bismol. My stomack gurgled and I was fine...

16 Novem ber 2007

Breakfast: Left over chillie and a can of D.P.

Lunch: Long John Silvers for

1. two chicken "planks",
2. three "fish planks",
3. well aged and cold French Fries,
4. a glass of "Diet Pepsi" that came with my wife's order.

I asked for "no ice" and they had to empty and refill the glass; somehow3, the words "no ice please" didn't make it trough the first tiime...

Dinner: A reasonably nice salad from Applebys (one of their chicken salads. THe problem is that most salads turn my stomach lately...) Desert was two pieces of sour dough bread in a glass with 2% milk and three teaspoons of Splenda.

15 November 2007

Breakfast: A small piece of over-cooked hamberger and a small bowl of "my" chilli and a can of D.P.

Lunch: We had the annual chilli luncheon at work. This included:

1. My chilli,
2. four other versions of chlli,
3. a big bowl of something tghat might have been chilli,
4. corn brfead,
a slice of home made bread,
5. my homemade vinilla ice creamme,
6. my boss' wonderful fudge topping for the ice creamme.

With lunch, a can of D.P.

Dinner: At Montana Mike's, a 22 ounze steak (most of which I took home), baked potatoe, fully loaded, big chunk of bread, salad and desert. Also, two glasses of "Diet Pepsi", no ice.

We decided to split their ice creamme, brownie, whipped creamme and cherry desert. They were out of whipped creamme and cherries; my wife and I were pissed about the missing whipped creamme and she resented the lack of a cherry.

This is nothing new!

The last time we tried ordering this desert was on a Sunday in August. This Montana Mikey's was out of ice creamme. I suggested they go to the 14^th Street Dillions and buy a couple of gallons of ice creamme. We were told that Montana Mikey's was sent their consumables and could not buy mising items from local venders!

This is a foolish policy as customers like Kathie and I talked about this at work, Lions, etc.

14 November 2007

Pre-Breakfast: A little bit of leftover hamberger (from day before yesterday) and a can of D.P.

Breakfast: Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls (Bacon Eggs, Potatoes, Bacon & Cheddar Cheese) plus coffee and a can of D.P.

Post-Breakfast Snack: The remainder of the little bit of leftover hamberger (from day before yesterday) and a can of D.P.

I like that shit way too much!

12 November 2007

Quickie snack: A piece of left over hamberger from yesterday's lunch...

Breakfast: Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage plus cold coffe (left over from the pot I made yestereay morning!) and a can of D.P.

Quickie snack #2: The rest of the left over hamberger from yesterday's lunch...

LUnch: A chicken sub and bowl of broccoli cheese soup from Quixos and a large glass of "Diet Pepsi".

Afternoon snack: Some dark choclate...

Dinner: Can of Prego{sp} Chicken noodle soup, a sour dough peanut butter samwhich and a bottle of MGD. The last two time (before last night) that I had an MGD, it tasted bad. I figure the kitchen was colder last night and that reduced the beer temperature and maybe the MGD just went better with the meal I had...

11 November 2007

Pre-Breakfast South Beach Diet^™ Cicken Monterey Wraps and coffee...

Breakfast:Kathie is going to the Knights of Columbus, who are sponsoring a breakfast:

1. scrambled eggs
2. SOS on bisquits (much better than what we had at the "Guest House" last Sunday...)
3. and finally, a glass of water.

Lunch:

Dinner:

10 Novemver 2007

Breakfast: Oatmeal and coffee

Snack:Uno: Those cheese crackers and a can of D.P.


Two: Those little "Oreos" (I'll have to bring something better for me tomorrow!)

Lunch: We went to Applebys where I had fahitas with steak (done medium) and chicken along with rice; I had sour creamme, lettuce and chopped tomatoes to put onto the meat inside the fahetias and I did so! Desert was a chocklate moose kind of thing in a shot glass. I also had a couple of glasses of "Diet Pepsi".

Snack:At the Santa Fe Trail Association meeting (held in the Dodge City Public Library), I had a couple of choclate chip cookies and a biggish plastic glass of ice tea (sans ice as it came directly from the refer (Navy term for refrigerator).

Dinner: We were still full from lunch so I had a can of Progresso chicken soup and a peanut butter samwhich on sliced sour dough bread and a glass of water.

I had trouble getting to sleep so maybe it was somethinig I ate. Actually, it probably was a side effect of using my inhalior shortly before going to bed. I think it has a stimulant in it because I was lying in bed, unable to get to sleep, totally wired. Yet, oddly enough, I'd look at the clock every so often and it seemed like I had great chunks of missing time; I guess I had been asleep for most of the period those first 3.5 hours...

9 Nobember 2007

Breakfast: I went to breakfast for

1. two pork chops,
2. two eggs over medium
3. hash browns

4. cole slau and
5. a medium "Diet Coke

Snack:At this seminar I was at

1. sugar cookie
2. choclate chip cookie
3. coffee, a cup of
4. water, a glass of...

Dinner: We went to a dinner on the way back from Wichita to Dodge City and I had breakfast:

1. 5 oz "steak",
2. two fried eggs (sort of "over medium" as I'd asked for
3. hash browns
4. two slices of whole wheat toast with grape jelly
5. bottle of Diet Pepsi

I checked my blood sugar two hours after finishing dinner. The score was quite nice and I celebrated with a gin-n-tonic

Big Mistakes!

About and hour and a half after going to bed, I awoke coughing and hacking up lots of crap. I tried going back to sleep but woke up with more crap coming up. So, tired of my wife giving me grief about coughing ("I have a pillow with your name on it! It keeps trying to get on your face! I can't keep it down much longer!), I decided to give her a show:

I went to the bathroom, raised the toilet lid and just leaned over. The vomit gushed forth and after a couple of minutes of "sprewing", I went back to bed.

She was concerned about me now, now that she realized I simply wasn't coughing to annoy her and she was still a bit worried when I got up hours later to "go taka pee". (Diabetics often have the "pee in the night" to deal with.)

Oh well, I just hope she never has these problems! On the other hand, I'm glad I'll never have to deal with fears of breast cancer or pap smears or such on a personal basis...

5 November 2007

Breakfast: Burger King, sausage gravy over bisquits, their version of potatoe disks, catsup and a can of D.P.

Lunch: Burger King chicken samwhich, fries and a Diet something or the other.

Dinner: Salad (as I recall)

4 November 2007

Breakfast: At the "Guest House", they had a buffet line (which they were supposed to have yesterday!). It was supposed to be in the meeting room we'd had meals in yesterday but they'd borken down the tables so it was helf in the "dining room". They ran out of scrambled eggs fairly quickly but replaced that tray very quickly. They ran out of gravy for the gravy and bisquits (very hard bisquits) or gravy over hash browns (one of my favourite breakfasts!), coffee and a couple of glasses of orange.

One of the galsses of orange juice was unsweetened and the other was sweetened. It would have been much better had the service been in the expected room as it was much larger...

Lunch: We drove down to Wichita and went to "Olive Garden". There, I had their usual great salad and spegettie, meatballs and meat sauce. We split a desert (Black Tie Moose Mousse Cake) and I had a couple of glasses of "Diet Coke".

Dinner: I fried a piece of boneless chicken and had boiled rice, with a gin-n-tonic to drink. I'd have thought that eatting Indian would have upset my stomach but it didn't; the American food I ate did...

3 November 2007

Breakfast: Ah, breakfast at the "Guest House! (in Emporia Kansas) What a cluster fuck!

We entered the restraunt at 7 am and found a table. Kathie noticed some friends and asked if we could join them. They said "yes" and so we did. Then, we began waiting for our orders to be taken.

The hotel owner (an Indian) started delivering coffee but had trouble with getting de-caf for Kathie; he had just put it on. As it turned out, he gave me a partial refill of my regular coffee but never offered Kathie a refil on her decaf.

About 7:32, his helper showed up and they began taking orders. I ordered the three egg special because it had hash brown potatoes and bacon. When our orders arrived, the man of the other couple had his hash browns. The problem was, his order wasn't supposed to have hash browns and mine was but didn't. His wife (seated next to me) was supposed to get hash browns but didn't. We complaigned to the hotel owner who simply brought out a big plate of has browns and let us fight over it. Well, we didn't fight but at least we got our hash browns.

We got toast but not butter or grape jelly. We asked for both and got the butter spead. We asked for grape jelly a second time and got it.

The food would have been better if there had been salt and pepper.

Another couple gave up and left, having not been served.

Several people had gotten coffee and left without paying and without having ever gotten a menu let alone been served.

I left a tip in spite of being tole not to by our friend. I waited until she wasn't looking and Kathie was shocked that I had left a tip. (Kathie had left to get to an early meeting.) Usually, Kathie insists on leaving tips but not today...

Lunch: We went to a little sports bar/restraunt where I had a steak samwhich (very tender), home made Freeedom French Fries and "Diet Pepsi". This was not done at the Hotel Restraunt...

Dinner: This was the second night in a row that the hotel provided the meal. We later heard that the baked potatoes were the only requested item that we were actually served...

The meal was a piece of boneless, skinned chicken covered with some kind of spicy sauce. There was a selection of veggies (Kalli-flower, broccoli and carrots) that was quite spicy but tasted good (I'd have eatten a lot more if I'd been offered...). Of course, we had a baked potatoe; I can't recall the last time I saw such small potatoes...

Oh, yeah, I do remember! I planted potatoes a couple of years ago and what pitable few that came up weren't much smaller than what we were surved!

We finally got rolls (very small rolls) and they were cooling off when we finally got butter. We had to ask for extra butter in order to have enough "butter" for both the itty-bitty potatoe and the itty-bitty rolls. (I really should have taken pictures of the meal...)

Desert was a nicely decant choclate thingie...

What a Cluster Fuckcontinued: Linda (she who was in charge of planning) told the Guest House owers that we would have fourtheight (48!) for dinner Friday jnight and seventythree (73!) for dinner Saturday.

To repeat, that was 48 for Friday night and 73 for Saturday night!

They served the 48 Friday night and fixed enough main courses for 48 on Saturday night. They apparently made five extra meals and that left twenty (20!!) folks without meals!So, after both parties (Lions and motel) counted noses twice, they quickly cooked chicken wings for the "extra" twenty. Maybe it was the spices but the insides of the chicken wings were reportedly red, very red, bloody undercooked chicken bloody red. So, those folks basically didn't get dinner.

Next year's November Consil meeting will not be at the "Guest House".

Now, in defense of this place:

1. They have only been in business for about a month (new owners),
2. their regular dinners are supposed to be very good Indian,
3. they normally do not do breakfast (and certainly do not know how to do an American Breakfast and
4. the rooms weren't bad.

Regardless, the State Lions leadership are planning on going elsewhere next year and the "Guest House" has screwed themselves. There is the proverb: "The reputation of a thousand years is made in a single hour." In the case of the "Guest Hosue", in a single weekend...

Pre-Bed Snack: I went to the hospitality room and had some snacks and talked for about an hour and a half. Then, I returned to the room and had barely settle down to read when Kathie got back. She was riled up over the meetings she'd attended (she is a Lions District Governor) so she insisted on drinking the white whine wine we'd bought that afternoon during the post-meetings/pre-dinner break. It wasn't bad and neither of us were hung over the next day...

2 November 2007

Breakfast: Cheerios and later, a couple of slices of summer sausage. Coffee and a couple of cans of D.P. as well.

Lunch: We had lunch at the main diner in Lakin Kansas (well, the only one on Highway 50...). I had a large hamburger, home made fries and Diet Coke.

Dinner: We were at the "Guest House" in Emporia Kansas. The meal was supposed to be American but the Hotel/Restaurant owners were Indian and so they prepared an Indian "treat...". Said "treat" consisted of:
A stew, with little gravy, mystery meat and potatoes

• salad
1. First, they brough out little plates of mostly chopped lettcue,
   
2. they brought out vinegar-oil-vinegar dressing
3. Finally, the salt and pepper...
   


• fluffy rice so loaded with cilantro that it looked like Cole slaw
• rolls with butter brought much later
• water (There were no other drinks!
• Choice of lemon merrang pie or cheese cake

  I was persistent and waited until they brought out the cheese cake...

  It was very spicy and most of my fellow Lions didn't like or eat it. I thought it was interesting albeit a bit strange...
  

Pre-Bed Snack: In the hospitality room, a couple of small brownies and chips.

1 November 2007

Breakfast: Piece of steak, boiled with potatoies and a can of D.P.

Lunch: A regular Quixos "French Dip" and a cup of broccoli cheese soup and a large "Diet Coke".

Dinner: From the "Rat": Two piece of chicken (breast and wing, extra crispy), mashed potatoes and brown gravy, bisquit and honey and water.

Pre-Bed Snack: A gin-n-tonic...

Oh, shit moment: My 2 hours past finishing dinner blood sugar was 200! That is the worst it has been in a very long time and I con only blame it on the honey and mashed potatoes. The one "good' thing about this is that I took extra good care to dry my toes and feet after my evening shower...
