Saturday, 29 October 2016

Breakfast: at the Best Western Hotel in McPherson Kansas for

• Oatmeal
• SOS over potatoes
• small glass of orange juice
• coffee

Lunch: at Montana Mike's in McPherson Kansas for:

• Potatoe boat appetizer
• hamburger
• fries

I ordered potatoe boats as an appetizer. When the burger came out first, I asked "where are my potatoe boats"? The waitress said "I forgot to put them in." She did put them in and comped the cost...
Dinner: At the hotel for the traditional Lions Dinner Of:

• Salad mashed potatoes
• roast beef gravy
• most of a slice of cheesecake
• decaf coffee

I flagged down a “waiter” who told me they were making more decaf coffee. He then said he would – and did – tell me when the decaf coffee would be available so I could pour myself a cup. If we are paying him to be a waiter, should not he actually behave like a waiter and get the fucking customer a cup of fucking coffee? (Oh, wait, this was a banquet so the people paying for his services can damn well go get their own coffee!)

 I felt fine after eating.

We then went to the Montana Mike's bar and I had two Margaritas on the rocks. I felt drunkish but fine.

I slept very well. I the past, I would have been blowing chunks after the fat in the roast beef and the fat in the gravy. This year, the meat was much less fat and the gravy tasted like something that had come out of a can. It was low fat. The low fat reduced the flovour but also did not result in me blowing chunks.

Thursday, 6 October 2016


Breakfast: Something special!

Two scrambled eggs Two small slices of sour dough bread with
• grape jelly and
• margarine
Two cups of coffee

I used my smaller cast iron fry pan. Scrambling the eggs had a different feel than what I normally feel when using a “non-stick” fry pan. Also, there was a different taste. I guess the stories of acquiring an iron taste and the taste of old meals just might be true…


Snack: a handful of dark chocolate chips.

• A Mexican soup
• A taco
• An enchilada
• Rice

Breakfast: bowl of Wheaties and perhaps a ¼ of a cup of leftover tapioca.


This tapioca was perhaps a bit old since I ended up with diarrhea twice in the next there hours. Perhaps I should limit my tapioca to two days in the refer before shitcanning it!

Lunch: We went to a Japanese Binto place where I had salad, miso soup, steak in sauce, rice, veggies and a glass of Diet Pepsi. Kathie ate the raw veggie stuff and the “green sauce”. We both enjoyed my lunch...


Desert: an ice creamme bar from the place I bought a tank of gas.
It is a good thing I have an idiot light to tell me when to gas up. When I was a full time worker bee at the NWS, I had to gas up about every week and a half. I watched my gas level. Now, that I often don’t leave the house a lot, I don’t watch the gas level so much…


Snack: a couple of tablespoons of dark choclate chips.
