U3V0  AM 123

I admit that two of the times were after having to get out of bed to drag the cat down from the top of the bedroom curtains. She likes to stand on top of the curtain rod and cry about being stuck up there (we think). She doesn't seems to mind being taken down. 

As for the "AM 123", I don't see how this could be; I had a Healthy Choice chicken meal last night. (I often wonder if "Healthy Choice" is really a "Healthy Choice" for a type 2 diabetic?). I have been feeling a bit under the weather lately so maybe that accounts for this rather excessive morning score?

25 August 2014

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: a homemade omlette with eggs and summer sausage (at work). There was a luncheon for some visitors and since they had too much food, us "outsiders" were allowed in. I then had some bar-b-qued pulled beef and pulled pork and a nice chunk of homemade (not by me!) chocolate cake, vinallia ice creamme and a homemade chocolate sauce.

This was really good!

Snack: piece of dark chocolate.

Dinner: Healthy Choice meatloaf dinner and cold water

"micturition ergo sum"

cake recipe

You need two boxes of cake mix. One can be any flavor you prefer, but the other MUST be Angel Food cake mix. Mix them together (shake them in a big bowl). Then simply store the mixture in an airtight container until you get the urge for dessert. Then just put three Tbsp. of the dry mixture in a big coffee mug and stir in 2 Tbsp of water. Microwave it for one minute and you will have a single serving of cake! Top with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream or whatever! Awesome for those of us who want something sweet every now and then without making an entire cake!!!

18 August 2014

"micturition ergo sum"

17 August 2014

 Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: can of Healthy Choice chicken and rice soup with a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich and a can of Pepsi Zero.

Snack: movie popcorn and "Diet Pepsi".

Dinner: We went to Cimarron's "Big Buck" Pizza place but it was closed. We have gone there on Sundays in the past but they were closed; we didn't appreciate a 42 mile round trip for nothing!

When then went to Pizza Hutt. I order via the cell fone and told the girl who answered "thick crust"; I told her twice! When we got home, we discovered they have given us a thin crust pizza.  The crust made a cracking sound when I bit into it and had it been slow cooked for about another 10 yours, it would have made fine hard tack!

I ate ¼ of the pizza and may have the rest tomorrow or the next day.

Since it was pizza, I also had a bottle of MGD...

9 August 2014

Breakfast: at the Hotel in McPherson where the Lions District "L" cabinet meeting was held and I had SOS on bisquit, a bit of scrambled eggs, sausage, coffee and water

Lunch: We went to Montana Mikes and I had:

• salad with French Dressing
• 8 oz filet
• baked potatoe with cheese, and butter
• two glasses of "Diet Pepsi"

Snack: a chunk of dark chocolate

Pre-dinner drink: a gin-n-tonic

Dinner: on one plate,

• about a half plate of salad
• about a quarter of a plate of boiled broccoli and carrots
• a small amount of mashed potatoes
• three small chunks of well cooked roast beef,
• maybe a 1/2 cup of brown gravy,
• desert and
• iced water

This was the first time I've had this meal at this restruant and not vomited an hour or so after going to bed. I figure it was due to:

• I didn't fill up with 2 beers before dinner
• I didn't eat a large amount of roast beef and gravy and mashed potatoes
• I didn't have cookies and water in the hospitality room

In other words, my stomach was well under full when I went to bed. I did get some gurgle up (I think) but pepto handled that very easily.

The amount of meat was enough to satisify my desire for the meat and I didn't get sick.

What more could I ask for?

2 August 2014

Breakfast: I used my big cast iron fry pan to

• fry some mashed potatoes in olive oil (which left a real mess)
• fried bacon
• boiled or rather, fried two eggs
• coffee

This was actually fairly good and I wiped out the fry pan and scrubbed it with salt. I'll have to remove the salt and rub the fry pan down with more extra virgin olive oil.  It will be interesting to make some pancakes in this seasoned fry pan and compare them with the non-cast iron fry pan...

Snack: chunk of dark chocolate and coffee

Lunch: at about 1:30 pm, I realized that I had better eat lunch. So, I went to Burger King for

• double whopper, catsup and mustard only
• large fries
• medium "Diet Coke"

The crew was somewhat overwhelmed with customers and it was about 3 minutes to 2 pm before I got my lunch. I didn't enjoy it as I had to get back home to get ready to go to work and I had not been able to find the TV controller before leaving. I went home, checked the kitchen table, around the computer and around the couch and could not find the frigging TV controller.

Then, I realized that I was leaning forward and reaching under the couch. I looked and immediately saw the missing TV controller. I wish my subconscious mind would be more obvious in telling me where stuff is...

Dinner: Healthy Choice Chicken Parmigiana with broccoli and iced water

Snack: a big chunk of dark chocolate and iced water

U0V0

1 August 2014

Breakfast: I rinced out my large cast iron skillet and fried up

• bacon
• two badly fried eggs
• had two slices of sour dough toast with grape jelly
• and coffee

Snack: a chunk of dark chocolate

Lunch: left over Zatarans "dirty rice" and boiled broccoli, cold water and coffee

Snack; another chunk of dark chocolate and a cup of (poor) instant coffee

Dinner: Healthy Choice Country Fried Chicken dinner and iced water.

U0V0

This was the first time in months that I did not wake up to pee. Also, it was the first time in weeks that our cat did not get up on the TV cabinet, decide she could not get down, and cry for help. This means my wife didn't wake me up and say "go  rescue our baby!"
