14 November 2008

Breakfast: Oatmeal, one slice sour dough bread with about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, a bananna and a cup of coffee. (My boss was trying to get rid of cake leftover from yesterday's office luncheon yesterday.)


Snack:
I had a couple of meatballs and a bannana.


Lunch:
Container of strawberry yogurt, an orange and (at home) a tuna samwhich on a slide of sour doubh bread and a can of DP.


Dinner:
Stewed chopped up pork chop, slightly undercooked stewed (sliced) potatoe and too much sour krat; I drank water with dinner. This combination lead to a blood sugar reading 3! points lower than when I got up this morning!

NOT FOR MY WIFE'S EYES

There was a bit of a problem with boiling the pork chop.

I had worked the 4 am to noon shift and was very tired. So, after I put the pork chops on hot, to bring the water to a boil for a few minutes, I sat down by the computer and zoned out. I completely forgot the boiling water, which I had planned on reducing to a simmer after a few minutes.

I didn't remember them until the house was filled with dense smoke and the smoke detector went off. I checked the pork chops and the b ottoms werew burnt black, while the top was seriously overcooked.

The important thing is the house was filled with smoke and it was November. The gboog think is that it was a nice day and I opened the window in the main bedroom; both my cats went up onto it. I then turned the fans on in both bathrooms and over the stove. I also opened both the front and back doors and started wasiting for the house to air out.

It took almost three hours before the house stopped smelling like smoke. I waited a bit longer and then shut the windows, the doors and turned the fans off.

When Kathie got home, she mentioned how smoky the house was. I didn't have the nerve to tell her what happened...
