When I got to work at 4:58 am, I looked into the office break room refrigerator and saw a left over (and well cooked) hamburger patty from yesterday. I didn't know how long it had been sitting out in the office library (during an office luncheon) and it had been sitting in the refer, in the open, overnight. There was no way I was going to eat it.

At about quarter to 7 am and having finished dinner at 5:56 pm the night before, I was having second thoughts about eating the hamburger patty. Finally, about 7:22 am, I rinsed it off, patted it dry and nuked it. With catchup and mustard, it was delicious!

"Hunger is the best appetizer."

Dinner: Three Taco Hell Bell Tacos and some nachos with cheese and whatever. I had a no-caffeine Root Beer. Given the choice of caffeine or sugar, tonight, I was better off with sugar but not caffeine. This is not the sort of decision a diabetic is supposed to make but I do need to get to sleep early tonight...

Lunch: plain no-fat yogurt, strawberries, two little oranges

Ninth day on the wagon...

Breakfast: oatmeal, chunk of sour dough bread with peanut butter and a
cup of bad coffee

Snack: two slices of fried baloney (not too bad...)

Lunch: a bowl of plain, no-fat, yogurt with strawberries and a small
orange. Later, at home, a chicken breast from Dillions: it wasn't too
bad but was made to the liking of the general public and was juicy
where-as I like my fried chicken cooked dry!

Snack: a little bag of 4 "Little Debbie" sugar coated donuts. It
wasn't all that good and oddly enough, didn't taste as good as they used
to...

Dinner: boiled pork chops, boiled potatoe, boiled "Franks Sauerkraut"
and water with a banana for "desert"

27 April 2009

Second attempt; first attempt failed when Trend Micro AntiVirus decided it
just had to restart my computer. This attempt is hampered by having to
hold my dog on my lap. He was begging at my feet and starting to growl; he
thought I had food. Now that he is on my lap, he realizes I don't have any
food for him...

Breakfast: last of the wheaties, slice of sour dough bread with peanut
butter and cup of coffee.

Lunch: Bowl of plain no-fat yogurt with strawberries, two little oranges
and at home, a balony samwhich (I usually buy the "slice it for me" balony
and this time I bought the $1.47 balony; it was awful and I'm thinking of
reserving it for "treats" for my dog...)

Dinner: baked chicken, some boiled white rice and boiled corn, with a
bananna for desert. Then, I didn't eat anything else and woke up around 2
am feeling hungry. I refused to give in. That was great! I ended up with
one of my best morning blood sugar scores (119) that I've had in years!

(Actually, the house on this lot has been unoccupied for 3 or 4 years and no body will ever know I'd fertailzed this yard. For that matter, I doubt that anyone knows I have been scooping up my dog's crap and tossing it into the yard to my north - the vacant house.

BASIC WHITE SAUCE

The following recipe, by Jim Hillbish, came from the 11 March 2009 issue of "Dodge City Globe":

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper
¼ cup white wind (optional)

1. 2 cups milk,
2. half and half or creamme (approximate)

______Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add white pepper is [as] to avoid the specks of black.
______You'll need a wire whisk or hand blender. That's important to inject air as it cooks. Remember too that sauces are delicate and burn fast. Keep whisking and keep the temperature on low. In the old days when stoves were not as adjustable, they made these in double boilers.
______I think white wine improves any white sauce, but that's optional. In sauces with cheese, you can increase the flavor by adding a dash of wine vinegar.
