28 July 2011

Breakfast: two poached eggs on sour dough toast and coffee

Lunch: a single piece of pepporoni pizza, two slender slices of apple
pie pizza, a salad and red sauce on 4 little bread sticks at Pizza Hut.

They kept putting out meat pizza contaminated with various veggies that
I would never eat anyway let alone eat on pizza! The one redeeming
feature of this meal was the service was quite good...

Dinner: Marie Callender's Country Fried Pork Chop with Cheddar Topped
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy with Cinnamon Glazed Apples and iced water

Dinner: at the Hu-Hot "Mongolian" Restaurant in Wichita, Kansas where I had some pork, ham, beef, mixed veggies all fried and ate with white rice.

The rice had been sitting too long and was hard. The waitress did bring me extra glasses of diet coke without me having to ask for them. This was not the best Mongolian I've been to (that would be the "Top of the Mar" officer's club on Guam in the early 1980s) and not up to the standards of the second best Mongolian I've had, in Eugene Oregon (yet another reason to take Amtrak out to visit family in Oregon). Still, it was the first "Mongolian" we've had in a while and was worth the eating for that reason alone...

16 July 2011

Breakfast: cheerios and coffee

Lunch: some stewed broccoli, an onion from a friend's garden, chicken and rice
I had a sudden nose bleed between breakfast and lunch. It was rather hard eating lunch with Kleenex shoved up both nostrils. I am writing this on the 17^th and have gone back to putting Vasaline in my nostrils in the evening and in the morning. I hope the blood vessels will heal and I can go back to not having nose bleeds. I'll have to add this to my "must discuss" list for when I have my annual physical in early August...

10 July 2011

Breakfast: homemade egg, steak, sharp cheddar cheese omlette (using an omlette "form") and coffee

Lunch: 1 and a half peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches and a can of "Pepsi Zero" (which tastes wretched...)

• salad with lots of croutons and thousand island dressing
• 12 oz rib eye steak
• a baked potatoe
• "Texas toast" with honey and
• ice water

The food was excellent, the service rather poor. We had to keep flagging down the waitress for extra water, to bring the bill, to collect our payment, to initially take our orders...

I had a gin-n-tonic after we got home; it had been a long day...

8 July 2011

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

7 July 2011

Breakfast: McDonald' Big Breakfast of

• scrambled eggs,
• sausage patty
• biscuit and butter
• coffee

They forgot to put the potatoe slab in...

Lunch: A Healthy Choice roast beef meal and water

Dinner: a peanut butter sandwich and bowl of Healthy Choice chicken and rice soup and cold water

We had originally planned on going out to dinner - I had planned on ribeye steak and potatoes - but Kathie wanted to go to a car faire first. We ended up checking out a Yarus and bought it. It took so long to go through the process of selling them ("trade in") our Echo and waiting for management to get around to talking to us that it simply was to late to go out to dinner after all was completed. Oh, well, we have our annual physical on 2 August so we're better off not having a nice dinner...

We'll go out to dinner on on Kathie's birthday...

5 July 2011

Breakfast: left over steak and baked potatoe from the other day and a bit later, two slices of sour dough toast in milk toast and coffee...

Lunch: a six inch subway sub meatball sandwich, potatoe chips and a medium "Diet Coke"

Dinner: a can of Dillions Store brand beef/potatoe stew, a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich on sour dough bread and iced water. The leftover chocolate milk shake from last night also.

Independence Day 2011

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Lunch: four Taco Bell hard shell tacos and a medium "Diet Coke"

Dinner:  Marie Callender's  Country Fried Pork Chop with Cheddar Topped Mashed Potatoes & Gravy with Cinnamon Glazed Apples and iced water
I then had a small chocolate milk shake; I ordered it before eating dinner. Once again, I should have never been offered food by a "I fly" arrangement...

My bad...

Red reports are high by my standards; Blue reports reports are low by my standards.

*I went to a formal Lions Club dinner. Doing my usual Monday/Wednesday/Friday evening blood test (2 hours past forks down) would have been after my bedtime and so I didn't do it. Since I was in a pattern of getting up at 4:15, I was going to bed early (8:15 pm - 8:30 pm).
