Choclate Liquor Recipe
1½ cup Sugar
¾ cup Water
3 cups Vodka
5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa
1 each Vanilla bean, split
Combine sugar and water in small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Measure 1 cup of the mixture; combine with vodka, cocoa and vanilla bean in clean 2-quart glass container. Cover tightly; keep in cool dark place for 14 days, shaking thoroughly every 2 days. Strain liqueur through dampened coffee filter paper into clean glass container. (Change filter paper in mid-process or, if necessary, let drip overnight as cocoa residue is very thick.) Repeat straining process if residue remains. Remove vanilla bean. Cover tightly; let liqueur age in cool, dark place for at least 1 month. About 1 quart.

NOT FOR MY WIFE'S EYES or Honey, I burned the pork choips
http://dying-by-fork.blogspot.com/2008/11/14-november-2008.html
There was a bit of a problem with boiling the pork chops [on 14 November 2008].
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 bottoms were burnt black, while the top was seriously overcooked.
The important thing is the house was filled with smoke and it was November. The good think is that it was a nice day and when 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 waiting 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 [and that the house had been a lot worst earlier].
Text in black is from my initial reporting of the event and text in blue is from 28 August 2010.

My pre-breakfast score was 202!
Breakfast: cheerios and coffee
Lunch: a bowl of chicken noodle soup (from Quinox) and small bag of potatoe chips and a medium "Diet Pepsi"
I was feeling ill at noon so I didn't go beyond the soup; now, I'm feeling very hungry (it is 7:16 pm) and looking forward to my dinner...
Dinner: a homemade "treat" of:
I scored 149
Snack: I've been eying the "Dove SILKY SMOOTH DARK CHOCOLATE" bar in the work freezer for some time. Since no one has eaten it, I finally convinced myself that it was one I put there a year or so ago.

Breakfast: cherrieos and coffee
Lunch: various at PIzza Hut: a couple of pieces of pizza, desert pizza, cottage cheese and salad and the "Diet Pepsi, no ice" (I ordered) and the "Diet Pepsi, lots of ice" (which I got when I finally waved down the waitress for a refill). We had the misfortune to get the side of the PH that apparently was not assigned a waitress...
Dinner: Healthy Choice Beef pot Roast (roasted beef with Cabernet Gravy, Carrots, Red Potatoes & Apple Cranberry Multigrain Crisp) and iced water
Desert: the choclate chip cookie left over from last night...

Breakfast: the left over bacon from yesterday between two slices of sour dough toast (didn't taste like the pan...) and a bowl of cheerios. The bacon must have been fine since my dog ate his "tithe" without complaint; that is, I doubt he even chewed it!
I felt reasonably horrible after the milk with breakfast and then walking on the treadmill and lifting weights. There must be something going around.
Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown, a little steak sandwich and french fries plus one glass of iced water.
Desert: I had a small container of chocolate ice creamme (and my dog got his "tithe" as well... ;-) )
Dinner: Kroger "healthy meals made simple" lemon herb chicken with brown rice (boneless chicken breast with rib meat in a light lemon herb sauce) with iced water
This tasted good but definitely not good enough to have again. The lemon was too strong and it actually tasted too sweet; what a surprise given that "sugar" is listed as the 4th ingredient.
Snack: a choclate chip cookie; I left the other for tomorrow night...

Grandma Lil's 114Birthday
Breakfast: From Burger King
Dinner: Lean Crusine Three Meat PIzza: pepperoni, italian sausage and seasoned ground beef with reduced fat mozzarellas cheese and cold water.
After writhing this, I had a strange mental image: I remembered the family getting together in my paternal grandparent's living room, with Grandma Lil sitting by the wall on the other side of the stairs. She said "no, that's not true..."
It was a strange and mystic moment, especially since I'm not much for "speaking with the dead".
- SOS on biscuit
- potatoe disks

Dinner: Lean Crusine Three Meat PIzza: pepperoni, italian sausage and seasoned ground beef with reduced fat mozzarellas cheese and cold water.
This would have been my Grandma Lil's 114th birthday.She was born Lillian Lotte Pepperall, daughter of James Pepperall and Bessie Burge on 13 August 1896 in England. She died on 17 April 1971. Her cause of death was "coronary thrombosis" and "hypertension" This "hypertension" is something that afflicts our bloodline. I am on two blood pressure medications and a very strong anti-cholesterol medication. I imagine Grandma Lil might have lived longer had she modern medications. However, she handled the dearth of Pop (her husband, my paternal grandfather) very badly and I can't she the Lady as having wanted to live much longer...

Dinner: We went to the 2010 Dodge City Rodeo and had
Snack: After ushering, we watched the rodeo. I bought one of those huge donuts ("Elephant Ears"?), covered with powdered sugar and split this with Kathie. I traded about half of this was a sip of her beer.
Pre-Bed Snack: a largish glass of tonic water with maybe an oz of Vodka
Lunch: from Casey's Cowtown:
- steak sandwich
- fries

The food was good and the service was very good! Mike Casey has gotten into the habit of giving the Lions a great waitress and I don't begrudge her nice tips!
Dinner: We went to the 2010 Dodge City Rodeo and had
- hamburger
- chips
- a small container of vanilla ice creamme and
- a can of Diet Pepsi
I asked for a well cooked hamburger and it was a bit cold. About an hour after going to bed, everything I'd had to eat or drink came back up. Probably it was a combination of too much exertion, heat and sun.
We had worked as ushers at the rodeo and that was walking around for about 1½ hours, in the sun and approximately 90° heat.

The Rat

Breakfast: cheerios and coffee
Lunch: at the North Pizza Hut:
Snack: a 3.8oz container of chocolate ice creamme with chocolate shell on it; my dog enjoyed his share. Probably should not have had it but could not resist...
Dinner: I had a Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Cajun Style Chicken & Scrimp (Chicken Tenderloin & Shrimp with Rice and Vegetables in Spicy Cajun-Style Sauce) and iced water (This at least was a healthy choice of a meal.)
Lunch: at the North Pizza Hut:
- a slice of peperoni pizza
- two chunks of their cinnamon roll desert
- three little cookies (there was no chocolate pudding tapioca to go with it...)
- two shots of salad (there was no cottage cheese for that matter) and all served with
- a large dose of poor service!
Badpoor service you say?
We were seated quickly enough in a booth but the seat had water sitting on it. I had to ask our waitress to dry it off; she was embarrassed by this.
She did a quick job of getting my glass of "Diet Pepsi, no ice" (although it seemed a rather long wait to me!)
I was almost done with the glass when I realized our waitress had not come around to see if I wanted more Diet Pepsi. I tried flagging her and another waitress down but they did that "blind waitress" act. It worked; I ended up walking up to the checkout table to ask for a refill. The woman behind the counter kept her eyes down and finished some paperwork. When it was obvious that I wasn't going away, she glanced at me and said "yes". I said "I'd like a refill of Diet Pepsi, please." She refilled my glass and looking down said "here you are" and acted like she had done me a real favor.
There was no apology for me having to go get my free refill; just annoyance on her part.
After I sat down and finished off my "feast" :-D , our waitress came around and offered to refill my "Doctor Pepper". I give her partial credit for making the effort to do glass refill after I'd gotten my own refill. She loses this partial credit by not only bringing the wrong drink around but by bringing Dr. Pepper! (Which I despise!)
I didn't say anything to my wife; she saw it all. Hopefully, this will be the last time we go to this "restaurant" for a long time to come. (Come to think of it, that is basically what she said after we ate at "The Rat" yesterday.
Snack: a 3.8oz container of chocolate ice creamme with chocolate shell on it; my dog enjoyed his share. Probably should not have had it but could not resist...
Dinner: I had a Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Cajun Style Chicken & Scrimp (Chicken Tenderloin & Shrimp with Rice and Vegetables in Spicy Cajun-Style Sauce) and iced water (This at least was a healthy choice of a meal.)

1 August 2010
Breakfast: a small bowl of left over tuna noodle casserole and coffee. I felt fine after eating and did not have the awful side effects I had from yesterday's breakfast! Must have been the pancake syrup mixed with tart orange juice?
Lunch: We went to the Italian Restaurant at the Garden City Airport. (We had gone to Sam's and this was our reward for timing the shopping trip correctly.) I had excellent home made rolls (3 of them), spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs and 2 glasses of Diet Pepsi. It was all very good.
Snack: several slivers of beef jerky and some dark chocolate
Dinner: A Lean Cuisine Cheddar Potatoes with Broccoli (potatoes with broccoli and cheddar cheese sauce) and iced water
Snack: a couple of chocolate chip cookies (I was very hungry.)
