advise from Higgins of "Magnum, PI"

There was an episode of "Magnum, PI" in which a villain, who had done something to Thomas Magnum and Higgins said "what are you going to do about it".

Higgins replied "I am going to write about it."

This was a serious threat as Higgins was a well respected writer and his writing about what the villain had done would cause said villain a lot of trouble.

If Higgins can write about something that has angered him, so can I!

No, I don't remember any other details about this show as it played about 24 years ago.

bad service

Bad service can be had from the "wait staff" and the kitchen (as well as the bar and the person doing the seating).

In the past couple of weeks, we have experienced first bad service from a waiter (and good kitchen service) and excellent service from a waiter and piss poor service from a kitchen.

Appleby's redeemed themselves to my wife and me last night with excellent service and won their way back into our hearts (and wallets). My report:

http://dying-by-fork.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-years-day-2010.html

First, there was our visit to Appleby's in Dodge City around 10 December 2009:

We were seated at Applebys and apparently we were at a table between waiters/waitresses. We started waiting and no one would wait one us! One waiter kept going past us and kept stopping at the table across us. After a while, my wife tapped this waiter on the arm as he went past us, completely oblivious to our presence. My wife asked "are we at a table without a waiter?"

He said "I'm your waiter. Are you ready to order?"

We said "yes" and we ordered. It took a while for a runner (not the waiter) to bring out plates.

The food was good and thus, the kitchen service was good.

I was thinking of ordering a second beer, to wash down the rest of my chicken fajitas (it was my turn to be the "DD" (Designated Drinker) and not the Designated Driver (I almost never drink at a bar or restaurant anymore).

However, I didn't get the chance to order that second bottle of MDG or to convince my wife we should order "shooter" deserts. "Our" waiter walked by, put the bill between Kathie and I and wished us a pleasant evening. This was so unlike Appleby's that we just looked at each other in shock.

We were hoping the Manager would come around but none did. (Another un- Appleby-like action).

We ended up paying but flagging down a passing waitress and she took our bill.

The problem was "our" waiter had an obvious GAF attitude. "GAF" is/was a US Navy slang term from the early 1970s and comes from "I don't Give A Fuck [man]".

Then, there was our meal last night at the Boot Hill Casino Restaurant:

First of all, we had a great waiter at the Boot Hill Restaurant! He was a young fellow who did a fine job and earned his tip!

We ordered the 14oz Ribeye steak with baked potatoes and water. It took a long time for the meal to come. In fact, our waiter dropped by the table, apologized for the wait and went back to the kitchen to check on our meal.

A couple of minutes later, a runner brought the food out, our waiter gave us the plates and we were ready to go.

Kathie took a small bite out of her potatoe and said "this potatoe is cold".

I touched my potatoe and sure enough, it felt as cold as if it had just came out of the refrigerator. I was pissed off!

We called the waiter over, told him both potatoes were cold (I repeated what I'd said about it feeling like it just came from the refrigerator) and he took the plates back to the kitchen.

Our waiter came back and said "it will take 20 minutes to cook more potatoes.

I said "put them in the microwave oven".

He said they could not and asked if we wanted mashed potatoes and brown gravy. We agreed to this.

No manager came around to apologise for the cold baked potatoes and in fact, we didn't see a manager at all!

I suppose the focus at Boot Hill Casino has been on the gambling and not the food. Well, I'm not much on gambling but do like a nice meal.

Last night was the third time we've eaten at the Boot Hill Casino and the first two time were excellent! We have heard people bitching about bad food at the BH Casino and we thought they had to be wrong.

It now appears the quality has moved downhill since the BHC restaurant opened and that has only been 11 days!

Events Have Consequences

We have not been to Appleby's since "our"waiter was so damned rude and GAF. We thought about going there may be a week ago but decided to have dinner at home. So. in a manner of speaking, that Appleby's waiter has helped us to save money! Thanks GAFman!

My wife knows one of the Boot Hill Casino Managers and sent him a strongly worded email today. Hopefully, this will help.

She made a point of telling this friend that our waiter last night was excellent and that we were quite pleased with the service that we got. I hope this young man doesn't get hurt in any blowback.

Update: 2 January 2010:

We went to Applebys last nigh, had excellent service, typically good food and heard "our" waiter from 3 weeks (or so) ago had actually been a cook sent out front.

My wife emailed an exec (friend of ours) of the Boot Hill Casino about the

• wait at the bar,
• piss poor service at the bar,
• long wait for dinner and
  
• refrigitator cold baked potatoe,
  

the last time we went there for dinner. We talked with folks at Applebys last night and one young man talked about being cut off at the Boot Hill Casino bar at 1:40 am. The normal cut off time, for Kansas bars, is 1:55 am. Perhaps he'd had too much to drink but he said the bartender had cleaned up the bar by 1:35 am and was clearly ready to leave early.

This was the wrong thing to do; a true professional would have stayed open and kept serving the drinks (and making money for the Boot Hill Casino bar).

28 December 2009

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Lunch: this was so unmemorable that I didn't remember the next evening...

Dinner: At the resteraunt at the Boot Hill Casino:

1. a veggie soup
2. salad
3. 14 oz Ribeye steak (a bit tough and overcooked)
4. a baked potatoe that felt cold enough that we thought it had been taken straight out of the refrigerator
5. mashed potatoes and brown gravy
6. two rolls
   
7. iced water
8. and a great choclate cake!

Pre-Bed Snack:gin and tonic

First of all, we had a great waiter at the Boot Hill Restuarant! He was a young fellow who did a fine job and earned his tip!

We ordered the 14oz Ribeye steak with baked potatoes and water. It took a long time for the meal to come. In fact, our waiter dropped by the table, appologized for the wait and went back to the kitchen to check on our meal.

It now appears the quality has moved downhill since the BHC restaurant opened and that has only been 11 days!

The last time we went to the Dodge City Applebys, we had very poor service and haven't gone back since (this visit was around 10 December 2009).

Lunch: At Mike Casey's "Delmonico's" (formerly "Peppercorns") a
hamburger with fries and bowl of tomatoe soup and "Diet Pepsi"

What is the difference between Peppercorns and Delmonico's?

First, the menu is the same, however, the food seems to taste better!

The layout of tables is better and there is no smoking at all! This is
a significant improvement. There were a lot of folks who
proclaimed/forecast that restaurant attendance in Dodge City would go
down if the smokers could not puff on their precious f***ing coffin
nails. Well, Delmonico's was crowded and more people were coming in as
we were leaving. I guess the nicotine addicts were surviving a meal with
out a fix.

Dinner: two hot dogs and a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup.

To quote Vir Koto (and don't well all?), "it tasted so good going down
and not so good coming back up". Well, something upset my stomach and
dinner came back up a couple of hours after I went to bed...

Not that this is anything new for me...

some Pepto Bismol for desert!

a local small shop, I could get a big mocha latte at another local spot:
House of Jones (coffee shop)

I congraduated the cooks at "The Safe" and asked their schedule; I plan
on taking my wife there for lunch on Tuesday, 1 December as I think
she'll like the soups...

Dinner: steak, baked potatoe, broccoli and later, a single shot
gin-and-tonic (which I kept down amazingly enough given the fat in the
steak and the volume of the gin-n-tonic!)

some cheese crackers and iced water

28 October 2009

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Lunch: steak salad and a side of cottage cheese at Casey's Cowtown...

Dinner: at the Spearville restaruent with the Spearville Lions: chips
and sausa; small bowl of fine homemade potatoe soup; chicken fried steak
with mashed potatoes and white pepper gravy and water.

"It tasted fine going down, not so good coming back up" [to paraphrase
Vir Coto]

It was a little too much and a little too greasy a little to close to my
bedtime...

27 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch:

Dinner: fried snack foods at the Montezuma Library as we were
visiting the Montezuma Lions Club. Not too bad and didn't screw up my
blood sugar although my stomach let me know I'd had greasy food...

26 October 2009 revised

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: a bag of popcorn (I didn't feel like eating the TV dinner I
brought in) and ice water

Lunch 2: corned beef cooked in a small lidded saucepan with an egg on
top of the corned beef. (I was still burping this up about 6 hours later...)

Dinner: a TV dinner featuring slightly greasy fried chicken, overly
processed mashed potatoes and margarine I added, corn and a brownie; I
drank ice water. (This wasn't too bad for a I'm-too-lazy-to-cook-tonight
meal. Kathie had to work late and I had to "fend for myself"...)

26 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: a bag of popcorn (I didn't feel like eating the TV dinner I
brought in) and ice water

25 October 2009

Breakfast: grits with butter and hot dogs and coffee

Snack: a little bag of 6 Oreos and coffee

Lunch: large hamberger and potatoe chips with cottage cheese

Dinner: "Breakfast for Dinner": scrambled eggs, well done bacon, Serri
Lee coffee cake and water

24 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee with 3 little donuts (I was hungry)

Lunch: the left over half a roast beef sub sandwich from several days
ago and a small amount of coffee...

23 October 2009

Breakfast: McDonald's "Big Breakfast" of scrambled eggs (that looked
like they'd been cooked there...), potatoe thingie, bisquit with grape
jelly and coffee

Lunch: the stew left over from the other night, water and a cup of coffee

Dinner: tuna noodled casserol (tuna, noodles, canned creamme of mushroom
soup, potatoe chips) and water

My 2-hour-past-eating blood score was 128! This was a bit hard to
believe given how much noodles I'd eaten and the 240 I got last night
from eating mostly veggies. This blood sugar stuff makes no sense. As an
aside on the meal: "It tasted so good going down; not so good coming
back," to quote Vir Coto (and don't we all?) Maybe it was the 2 1/2
glasses of water I drank right before going to bed?

22 October 2009

Breakfast: from Burger King, their "Big Sausage Sandwiche", potatoe thingies and coffee.

I asked them for a "double bacon egg CROISSAN'WICH^® meal". The girl young woman who took the order asked the man who made it: "double bacon, yes"? He replied "double bacon!"

When I got home, my wife discovered it was the usual bacon and sausage; the problem with this is my wife does not like their sausage. She was pissed off and what could I say beside "they told me it was 'double bacon'!"

This has been a persistent problem for several years.

Burger King is now off our "go to breakfast" list...

They are still on our lunch list.

Lunch: tomatoe sauce over spaghetti noodles and water

Dinner: home cooked roast, with potatoes and carrots cooked in the juice. The meat was very tough and this was one very tough meal. So, Kathie has agreed to let me slow cook the next roast; at least it might be tender even if more well done than Kathie approves of...

21 October 2009

Breakfast: Cheerios and coffee

Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown: roast beef, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, corn, a roll with butter and water

Dinner: at King's Buffet, a variety of chicken and beef dishes with rice and later, vanilla ice creamme covered with chocolate pudding.

My 2-hour-after-eatting blood sugar count was 240! sigh... I've have thought the amount of meat I ate should have lead to a much lower score (i.e. 140!)

19 October 2009

Breakfast: big bowl of cheerios and coffee

Lunch: two cheddar cheese, "egg" crosaunts and coffee

18 October 2009 (amended)

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: the rest of the corned beef in a sour dough sandwich and water
Desert: some mini-Oreos and water

Snack: three chocolate chip cookies at the Santa Fe Trail Association
meeting in Cimarron

Dinner: Chicken/Steak fahetias as Appleby's with their fancy ice creamme
desert

I didn't plan on ordering this desert since I am obsessed about my A1C
test in late November. But, the waitress said Appleby's is canceling
this desert and it is (was?) my wife's favorite. So, when she ordered
it, I didn't argue. The moral of the story is simple: Sometimes, a
husband must make the wrong choice for the right reasons rather than the
right choice for the right reasons. The reason is simple: by going
along with her choice, I got a fine desert and my wife was happy. If I
had taken a stand against the desert, I would have pissed my wife off
for years to come (and not helped lower my A1C at all!).

So, to reiterate:
Sometimes, a husband must make the wrong choice for the right reasons
rather than the right choice for the right reasons.

nice meat sauce and meatballs plus great rolls (and real butter!) and
two glasses of "Diet Pepsi". The lunch prices were nice (about $6.90 per
meal as I recall), the food excellent and it was worth driving from
Dodge City to Garden City in order to get a great lunch! (We also went
to Garden to shop a Sam's but that is a different story...)

Dinner: 3 eggs scrambled, grape jelly between two slices of sour dough toast, with water. For desert, cottage cheese with grape jelly.

well cooked bacon (you could almost hear it crunch when my dog ate "his"

Breakfast: two hard boiled egg sanwhichs

Lunch: At DCasey's Cowtown: roast beef, corn, a roll and water

Dinner: From the Dodge City Applebee's curbside service, a hamberger and fries and ice water

When Kathie got home from Applebee's, we fou8nd they had left out the french fries from my order and the chips from her order. So, she had to return and pick these up. That meant I had to microwave my hamberger...

the meal was fine but having to go back to their curbside service and retrieve half the meal was a pisser...

7 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown: steak and salad and water

Dinner: homemade beef stew, "baked fr4om a can" French bread and water

Pre-Bed Snack: a gin-n-tonic

I made the mistake of eating a greasy meal too late and had a gin-n-tonic as well. I ended up barfing and that wasn't any fun...

My beef stew recipe:

• ½ onion
• 2½ lbs tenderized stew meat
• ⅔ cup red whine wine
• 1 quart beef brooth
• about ⅔ pound sliced carrots
• several large potatoes

I sauteed the onion in olive oil in the pan, breaded the beef stew chunks and sauteed them as well. Then, I added the beef brooth and wine and brought it to a boil. After letting it cook for around 1½, I added the carrots and potatoes, brought them to a boil and let it all simmer for almost another hour.

It was quite nice, with the bread.

Rich Choclate Pudding recipe

Here is a recipe I plan on trying:

Rich Chocolate Pudding

http://recipies.prevention.com/Recipe/rich-choclate-pudding.aspx

* 1/3 C packed brown sugar
* 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
* 3 tbsp cornstarch
* 1 tsp instant espresso powder (optional)
* 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
* pinch of salt
* 2 C 1% milk, divided
* 1 lg egg
* 2 oz bittersweet chocolate bits (about 1/3 c)
* 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Whisk sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, espresso powder (if using), cinnamon, salt, and 1/2 cup of the milk in medium saucepan.

2. Pour remaining milk into sugar mixture while whisking. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Beat egg lightly in small bowl. Pour in 1 cup of the hot milk mixture while whisking. Pour egg mixture back into pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, 2 minutes.

4. Remove pan from heat. Add chocolate. Whisk until mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.

5. Pour mixture into 4 serving dishes. Chill 2 hours or overnight, covered.

10 September 2009 or DDC Lions Picnic

Breakfast: scrambled eggs with left over steak (my dog liked both!) and coffee

Lunch: plain yogurt with strawberries and later, two chicken legs from Dillions

Dinner: the Lions had a dinner at Lions' Park and we had

1. KFC fried chicken (origional)
2. two types of scalloped potatoes (the cheezy was best),
3. I made Zatarain's (A New Orleans Tradition Since 1889) New Orleans Style Dirty Rice Mix,
4. a couple of pieces of great choclate cake and
5. two little bottles of cold water

Pre-Bed Snack: a gin-n-tonic

8 September 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Snack: about half a corned beef sandwich

Lunch: yogurt with strawberries

Post Lunch snack: a deep fat fried chicken breast and chicken leg from
Dillions. The leg was better than the breast and I should have gone
with maybe 3 legs...
I had a bottle of Diet Pepsi with this.

Dinner: A Burger King double hamburger, fries and water.

Post Dinner Snack: a single shot gin-n-tonic. About an hour after going
to bed, a mouthfull of Malox {sic} for the GERP. From what my wife said
this morning, she would have benefited from a "man sized dose" of Pepto
Bismol (said "man sized dose" is about twice the recommended dose.
After all, "the best dose is an overdose"...)

6 September 2009 (final version)

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Snack: most of a corned beef on sour dough bread sandwich and coffee

Lunch: a couple of brats, soaked in and then boiled in, really cheap
cooking beer (if Dillions analyzes my buying habits, they'll think I
only drink beer about once a year and cheap bad beer that that!) with
peppers.

Snack: at the "Sam's Club" in Garden City, Kansas, where we grazed on
the freebie's...

Dinner: About a half of three quarters of a medium "Sam's Club" all meat
pizza and a bottle of MDG. Big mistake, eating "Italian" and drinking a
beer to close to me bedtime; I kept waking up with GERP most of the
night...

rest of the bottle of "Frank's Sour Kraft" and that should taste good!)

crispy (and extra greasy!), sides of mashed potatoes and brown gravy and
a chunk of corn on the cob, a bisquit with honey and some water

Next time, I will definitely get the "broiled" chicken as the
extra-greasy/crispy (not crispy!) threatened to have the dinner come
back up before I went to bed...I discussed this with Kathie the next day and she was upset about her "origional recipie" chicken being too crispy. So, it seems the KFC "crew" got the chicken switched...

Lunch: at Pizza Hut, a salad with cottage cheese and choc pudding and

there aren't any in the candy machine.

12 August 2009

Breakfast: left over baked potatoes, a little bit of steak and some
roll (and coffee)

Lunch: Something new at Casey's: pork chop, mashed potatoes and brown

9 August 2009

Dinner: We went out to dinner at Montana Mike's with two friends; I had
salad with 1000 Island Dressing, most of a 16 oz steak, a "fully loaded"
baked potatoe and a large roll with butter. Since Kathie was driving, I
had a beer! (A regular Coors) It wasn't all that great but it was
adequate and wasn't cursed with the words "light" or "lite" or "Ultra".
A couple of hours after eating, my stomach was bothering me so I drained
the last of the Pink (Pepto), took three Tums and slept well enough...

9 August 2009

Breakfast: a pork chop and water

Lunch: We went to the "new" restraunt at the Garden City Airport for their Italian food. I had

Lunch: At King's, a bunch of chicken and rice and vanilla ice creamme with chocolate pudding and two glasses of "Diet Pepsi"

7 August 2009

Breakfast: a pork chop and two scrambled eggs, two sour dough bread toast and coffee

Lunch:

Snack: a cup of coffee followed by sharp chest pain...

Dinner: about ½ of a 6" subway sub (chicken breast on whole wheat) and water

I was feeling nausiated when I was looking at the selections...

I tried taking Tums but it didn't help. I ended up barfing twice and after Kathie got home (and after I finished watching Eureka, we went to Dillions and I bought a bottle of Mylanta. Now, Mylanta's label says Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking any drug for...diabetes

Well, I'm diabetic so I was supposed to ask the pharmacist (but the Dillions pharmacy was closed for the night) and I wanted to get a good night's sleep. The stomach pain had dropped off but minor pain becomes major when I try to sleep. So, I decided to accept the short term risk for the short term gain of being pain free and being able to sleep at night!

Pre-Bed Snack: Water and then some more water...

6 August 2009

Breakfast: cold oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: two largish egg salad sanwhiches and a can of DP

Dinner: roast beef, baked potatoe chunks with onion, creamed corn, that cabbage stuff, two biscuits with honey and apple crisp for desert.

I had a gin-n-tonic before going to bed.

Around midnight, I felt a very sharp pain just below my sternum. I rolled around in bed, hoping the pain would go away and went back to sleep for about an hour. Then, I went to the bathroom and took a couple of tums. It didn't do any good. I sat on the toilet and waited for the pain to go away. Kathie was worried and asked me when I was going back to bed. So, I went back to bed.

I repeated this cycle of get up, drink some water in the hall bathroom, fart, sit on the toilet and read an excellent book "Viet Nam Above The Treetops: A Forward Air Contrtoller Reports" by John F. Flanagan) for a while and then go back to bed. The last two times, I was feeling like I was about to barf. I finally put my finger down my throat and after I got done barfing, I drank some water, went back to bed and fell asleep immediately. The pain was gone.

This apparently was a really bad case of GERD but it damn near sent me to the Emergency Room!

4 August 2009

 Breakfast:  Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls Sausage (Eggs, Potatoes, Sausage & Cheddar Cheese) and coffee

Breakfast 2: bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant

Lunch:  Gazpacho, cold cuts, some potatoe chips and almost of glass of non-sugar-free Pepsi and Mug Root Beer (about a half glass each)...

Here is the recipe I tried to get my co-workers to try.  Only one was willing to try this.  It was quite expensive and I feel like I got ripped off by their not having the testerone to try it!  Next office luncheon I attend, I will go as cheap and as non-adventuresome as humanly possible!

Gazpacho

Spain's noble contribution to the world of soup.

2 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded & chopped

1 large green pepper, seeded & chopped

4 cups cold tomato juice

1 tsp crushed red pepper

5-6 med tomatoes, peeled, seeded & chopped

5 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 large red onion, chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Garnishes -- sliced stuffed green olives,

                      chopped red onion,

                      peeled & chopped cucumber,

                     homemade croutons.

 

 

Stir all ingredients together thoroughly. Chill thoroughly. Stir again just before serving. Serve in frosted bowls with small bowls of the garnishes alongside so each person can add their own.

NOTE: This is not an original recipe;  I lost track of where I got it.

27 June 2009

Breakfast: Aunt Jemima pancakes and sausage (I've gotten really tired
of this over the years but it beats making oatmeal when I'm tired) and
coffee

Snack: Some peppered sausage slices, some cheddar cheese (sliced) on
Ritz Crackers with stolen yellow mustard ("borrowed" from a bottle a
co-worker had labeled with his initials and put in the the office refer
- sorry 'bout that TW!)

Lunch: bacon samwhich made from the bacon left over from my wife's
breakfast yesterday and water...

NOTE: this is not your average foodies' self-absorbed food blog; it is
the foodie blow of a type 2 diabetic who is gradually losing the war
with sugar. Years ago, before I was diagnosed, I used to sneer at my
youngest brother (a type 1) for his problems with blood sugar. I said
"I would never have problems with controlling my blood sugar". Well,
God or genetics or simply my mindset has conspired to show me the error
of my ways! Anyway, my family MD has started talking about putting me
on an injectable drug ("Lizard Spit") and I am insisting on pills!
Pills don't hurt when they go down, I'm not punching a hole in my skin,
which means forgoing the opportunity for an infection (yeah!) and did I
mention? pills don't hurt going down buy I know how stabbing myself does
(a little) and I've seen how it hurts to inject a fluid into one's self...)

Snack: coffee and four more "Little Debbie" sugar coated donuts (maybe
I'll get lucky tomorrow and not sucumb?)

Lunch: low fat yogurt with strawberries, then (at home), a peanut
butter sandwich and later, some ice creamme (given the severe stomach

gravy), six little Oreo cookies and iced water

Breakfast: Aunt Jemima pancakes and sausage and coffee

butter and coffee

Desert: a small Burger King chocolate milk shake (McDonald's was out of
chocolate; like I'm going back there in the near future???)

Dinner: corned beef hash, water and indigestion (This will teach me not
to grab a can of food at Dillions' simply because I had to leave my
evening meal in the car while I did some running around in 95 degree
heat this afternoon)

28 June 2009

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Breakfast continued: I had some left over corned beef in the refer and had that on sour dough bread

Lunch: hamberger, bowl of chicken noodle soup and ice water

My stomach was upset again about an hour after lunch. Maybe the grease in the hamberger got me or the corned beef sandwhich. I don't know but I do know I'm not looking forward to eatting dinner tonight...

Pre-Bed Snack:

27 June 2009

Dinner: Baked chicken, rice pilof, aspargus and water

Pre-Bed Snack: a gin-n-tonic

This was a serious mistake! I had barely drank a couple of mouthfulls when I was sick to my stomack. It took a couple of hours, but I eventually barfed in the back yard. Perhaps not being on that Nexium has upset my stomach so that the fat in the rice pilof was more than I could handle?

Snack: a can of DP and four "Little Debbies" powder sugar donuts (I was quite hungry after spending 2 hours and 5 minutes mowing the yard and trimming same)

Lunch: low fat plain yogurt, mixed with strawberries and water.

Lunch 2: (I was still hungry) A Hormel Compleates™ Meatloaf with potatoes & gravy and a can of DP (I drink too damn many of these...)

It has been years since I ate one of these and I had forgotten that I'm not very fond of the taste of the gravy. My dog, however, didn't seem to care about that when he "cleaned up" the bowl...

Dinner:

Pre-Bed Snack:

25 June 2009

Breakfast: wheaties, a banana and coffee

Lunch: a corned beef sandwich on sour dough bread, a banana and iced water

Dinner: a 6" Subway Sub meatball sandwich and a bottle of water

I didn't have enough money to buy a foot long sub; my goal was to buy a nice dinner for5 Kathie and buy meself something with the left over money. After all, if I was still hungry, I would be going home and could get myself something but Kathie had to work j(she plays "The Temperance Lady" in the Boot Hill Museum "Long Branch Variety Show" and would not be able to get any more foot until then.

As it turned out, I wasn't hungry after dinner and I hope this is a sign the new diabetes medication (Januvia) is suppressing my appetite.

5 June 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal with coffee

Lunch: left over spegethie and cold water

Dinner: At the "new" Dodge House we:

• split an order of four chicken sticks (too breaded and we should have had the cheeze sticks)
• a nice salad with (in my case), French Dorthy Lynch dressing
• baked potatoe with a very nice set of toppings, in little dishes, and
• an excellent piece of prime rib (cooked to my specs!)
  

The waitress was very attentative (but then she is both a friend and a co-worker of my wife) and in fact, was much more than I am used to in Dodge City, Kansas (not where I come from, just where we live now). We gave her a very nice tip; a very nice tip she earned!

It looks like Casey's Cowtown has now got some serious competition for Best Steak House In Dodge City Kansas!

Pre-Bed Snack: ice water

4 June 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and 1 3/4 apples and coffee

Lunch: Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Chicken Margherita (Chicken
Tenerloins with Angel Hair Pasta & Roasted Garlic in Balsamic
Vinaigrette Sauce), 2 apples and water

Dinner: homemade spegethie sauce (hamberger, tomatoe sauce and way too much "Italian Sauce") and a bottle of MDG

I put way too much "Italian Seasoning" in and ended up feeling nausiated and had the trots. Then, I made my real mistake: I gave in to my dog's begging and gave him some of the meat with sauce. He ended up with the trots himself and my wife had to take him outside after she had gone to bed. Then, about 2:10 am (only 2 hours and 5 minutes before my wake up time of 4:14 am), it was my turn to take the poor dog outside. (I am writing this part on the morning of the 6^th.) When I got home on the 5^th, I found two deposits of diahreia on the bedroom carpet; I cleaned up it. Later the evening of the 5^th, I found said poor dog had vomited twice on the living room rug. Damn but I'd say my kindness, in giving into my dog's begging, has been repaid in full!

No good deed ever goes unpunished...

3 June 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown, a roast beef, sauteed onion salad with ice water.
