"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"...)

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"
share of my bacon...) and water

Snack: a single shot of gin-n-tonic to wash down a slice of left over
Anniversary Cake

A puzzler: why was my 2 hour post dinner blood sugar so good (133)
given I had Serra Lee with dinner and that little piece of cake?

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.
