Breakfast: Kathie's Big Breakfast of scrambled eggs, Serri Lee coffee
cake, a bacon sandwich (shared with my dog, of course!) and coffee

Lunch: Two brats and a bottle of Diet Coke (both were mistakes...)

Snack: four Little Debbie powder sugar donuts and a cup of coffee
(later, I couldn't tell which made me feel more jittery and which upset
my stomach more: the sugar or the caffein. Regardless, I won't be having
that again soon...

Dinner: stewed pork chops, sour krat, rice and broccoli and I wish I had
some Pepto Bismol for desert!

20 November 2009

Breakfast: cherrios and coffee

Lunch: plain yogurt with strawberries and then a bowl of homemade (and
great!) ham and potatoe soup at a place called "The Safe" at 740 North
2nd in Dodge City. After that and thinking if I could have 2nd lunch at
a local small shop, I could get a big mocha latte at another local spot:
House of Jones (coffee shop)

I congraduated the cooks at "The Safe" and asked their schedule; I plan
on taking my wife there for lunch on Tuesday, 1 December as I think
she'll like the soups...

Dinner: steak, baked potatoe, broccoli and later, a single shot
gin-and-tonic (which I kept down amazingly enough given the fat in the
steak and the volume of the gin-n-tonic!)

some cheese crackers and iced water

28 October 2009

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Lunch: steak salad and a side of cottage cheese at Casey's Cowtown...

Dinner: at the Spearville restaruent with the Spearville Lions: chips
and sausa; small bowl of fine homemade potatoe soup; chicken fried steak
with mashed potatoes and white pepper gravy and water.

"It tasted fine going down, not so good coming back up" [to paraphrase
Vir Coto]

It was a little too much and a little too greasy a little to close to my
bedtime...

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

27 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch:

Dinner: fried snack foods at the Montezuma Library as we were
visiting the Montezuma Lions Club. Not too bad and didn't screw up my
blood sugar although my stomach let me know I'd had greasy food...

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

26 October 2009 revised

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: a bag of popcorn (I didn't feel like eating the TV dinner I
brought in) and ice water

Lunch 2: corned beef cooked in a small lidded saucepan with an egg on
top of the corned beef. (I was still burping this up about 6 hours later...)

Dinner: a TV dinner featuring slightly greasy fried chicken, overly
processed mashed potatoes and margarine I added, corn and a brownie; I
drank ice water. (This wasn't too bad for a I'm-too-lazy-to-cook-tonight
meal. Kathie had to work late and I had to "fend for myself"...)

Monday, October 26, 2009

26 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: a bag of popcorn (I didn't feel like eating the TV dinner I
brought in) and ice water

25 October 2009

Breakfast: grits with butter and hot dogs and coffee

Snack: a little bag of 6 Oreos and coffee

Lunch: large hamberger and potatoe chips with cottage cheese

Dinner: "Breakfast for Dinner": scrambled eggs, well done bacon, Serri
Lee coffee cake and water

Saturday, October 24, 2009

24 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee with 3 little donuts (I was hungry)

Lunch: the left over half a roast beef sub sandwich from several days
ago and a small amount of coffee...

23 October 2009

Breakfast: McDonald's "Big Breakfast" of scrambled eggs (that looked
like they'd been cooked there...), potatoe thingie, bisquit with grape
jelly and coffee

Lunch: the stew left over from the other night, water and a cup of coffee

Dinner: tuna noodled casserol (tuna, noodles, canned creamme of mushroom
soup, potatoe chips) and water

My 2-hour-past-eating blood score was 128! This was a bit hard to
believe given how much noodles I'd eaten and the 240 I got last night
from eating mostly veggies. This blood sugar stuff makes no sense. As an
aside on the meal: "It tasted so good going down; not so good coming
back," to quote Vir Coto (and don't we all?) Maybe it was the 2 1/2
glasses of water I drank right before going to bed?

Thursday, October 22, 2009

22 October 2009

Breakfast: from Burger King, their "Big Sausage Sandwiche", potatoe thingies and coffee.

I asked them for a "double bacon egg CROISSAN'WICH® meal". The girl young woman who took the order asked the man who made it: "double bacon, yes"? He replied "double bacon!"

When I got home, my wife discovered it was the usual bacon and sausage; the problem with this is my wife does not like their sausage. She was pissed off and what could I say beside "they told me it was 'double bacon'!"

This has been a persistent problem for several years.

Burger King is now off our "go to breakfast" list...

They are still on our lunch list.


Lunch:
tomatoe sauce over spaghetti noodles and water

Dinner:
home cooked roast, with potatoes and carrots cooked in the juice. The meat was very tough and this was one very tough meal. So, Kathie has agreed to let me slow cook the next roast; at least it might be tender even if more well done than Kathie approves of...

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

21 October 2009

Breakfast: Cheerios and coffee

Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown:
roast beef, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, corn, a roll with butter and water

Dinner: at King's Buffet,
a variety of chicken and beef dishes with rice and later, vanilla ice creamme covered with chocolate pudding.
My 2-hour-after-eatting blood sugar count was 240! sigh... I've have thought the amount of meat I ate should have lead to a much lower score (i.e. 140!)

Monday, October 19, 2009

19 October 2009

Breakfast: big bowl of cheerios and coffee

Lunch: two cheddar cheese, "egg" crosaunts and coffee

18 October 2009 (amended)

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: the rest of the corned beef in a sour dough sandwich and water
Desert: some mini-Oreos and water

Snack: three chocolate chip cookies at the Santa Fe Trail Association
meeting in Cimarron

Dinner: Chicken/Steak fahetias as Appleby's with their fancy ice creamme
desert

I didn't plan on ordering this desert since I am obsessed about my A1C
test in late November. But, the waitress said Appleby's is canceling
this desert and it is (was?) my wife's favorite. So, when she ordered
it, I didn't argue. The moral of the story is simple: Sometimes, a
husband must make the wrong choice for the right reasons rather than the
right choice for the right reasons. The reason is simple: by going
along with her choice, I got a fine desert and my wife was happy. If I
had taken a stand against the desert, I would have pissed my wife off
for years to come (and not helped lower my A1C at all!).

So, to reiterate:
Sometimes, a husband must make the wrong choice for the right reasons
rather than the right choice for the right reasons.

nice meat sauce and meatballs plus great rolls (and real butter!) and

meal as I recall), the food excellent and it was worth driving from
Dodge City to Garden City in order to get a great lunch! (We also went
to Garden to shop a Sam's but that is a different story...)

well cooked bacon (you could almost hear it crunch when my dog ate "his"

Anniversary Cake

A puzzler: why was my 2 hour post dinner blood sugar so good (133)
given I had Serra Lee with dinner and that little piece of cake?

Breakfast: two hard boiled egg sanwhichs

Lunch: At DCasey's Cowtown: roast beef, corn, a roll and water

Dinner: From the Dodge City Applebee's curbside service, a hamberger and fries and ice water

When Kathie got home from Applebee's, we fou8nd they had left out the french fries from my order and the chips from her order. So, she had to return and pick these up. That meant I had to microwave my hamberger...

the meal was fine but having to go back to their curbside service and retrieve half the meal was a pisser...

7 October 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown: steak and salad and water

Dinner: homemade beef stew, "baked fr4om a can" French bread and water





Pre-Bed Snack: a gin-n-tonic

I made the mistake of eating a greasy meal too late and had a gin-n-tonic as well. I ended up barfing and that wasn't any fun...


My beef stew recipe:

  • ½ onion
  • 2½ lbs tenderized stew meat
  • ⅔ cup red whine wine
  • 1 quart beef brooth
  • about ⅔ pound sliced carrots
  • several large potatoes

I sauteed the onion in olive oil in the pan, breaded the beef stew chunks and sauteed them as well. Then, I added the beef brooth and wine and brought it to a boil. After letting it cook for around 1½, I added the carrots and potatoes, brought them to a boil and let it all simmer for almost another hour.

It was quite nice, with the bread.

Rich Choclate Pudding recipe

Here is a recipe I plan on trying:

Rich Chocolate Pudding

http://recipies.prevention.com/Recipe/rich-choclate-pudding.aspx

* 1/3 C packed brown sugar
* 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
* 3 tbsp cornstarch
* 1 tsp instant espresso powder (optional)
* 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
* pinch of salt
* 2 C 1% milk, divided
* 1 lg egg
* 2 oz bittersweet chocolate bits (about 1/3 c)
* 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Whisk sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, espresso powder (if using), cinnamon, salt, and 1/2 cup of the milk in medium saucepan.

2. Pour remaining milk into sugar mixture while whisking. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Beat egg lightly in small bowl. Pour in 1 cup of the hot milk mixture while whisking. Pour egg mixture back into pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, 2 minutes.

4. Remove pan from heat. Add chocolate. Whisk until mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.

5. Pour mixture into 4 serving dishes. Chill 2 hours or overnight, covered.

10 September 2009 or DDC Lions Picnic

Breakfast: scrambled eggs with left over steak (my dog liked both!) and coffee

Lunch: plain yogurt with strawberries and later, two chicken legs from Dillions

Dinner: the Lions had a dinner at Lions' Park and we had

  1. KFC fried chicken (origional)
  2. two types of scalloped potatoes (the cheezy was best),
  3. I made Zatarain's (A New Orleans Tradition Since 1889) New Orleans Style Dirty Rice Mix,
  4. a couple of pieces of great choclate cake and
  5. two little bottles of cold water

Pre-Bed Snack: a gin-n-tonic

Wednesday, September 09, 2009

8 September 2009

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Snack: about half a corned beef sandwich

Lunch: yogurt with strawberries

Post Lunch snack: a deep fat fried chicken breast and chicken leg from
Dillions. The leg was better than the breast and I should have gone
with maybe 3 legs...
I had a bottle of Diet Pepsi with this.

Dinner: A Burger King double hamburger, fries and water.

Post Dinner Snack: a single shot gin-n-tonic. About an hour after going
to bed, a mouthfull of Malox {sic} for the GERP. From what my wife said
this morning, she would have benefited from a "man sized dose" of Pepto
Bismol (said "man sized dose" is about twice the recommended dose.
After all, "the best dose is an overdose"...)

Monday, September 07, 2009

6 September 2009 (final version)

Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

Snack: most of a corned beef on sour dough bread sandwich and coffee

Lunch: a couple of brats, soaked in and then boiled in, really cheap
cooking beer (if Dillions analyzes my buying habits, they'll think I
only drink beer about once a year and cheap bad beer that that!) with
peppers.

Snack: at the "Sam's Club" in Garden City, Kansas, where we grazed on
the freebie's...

Dinner: About a half of three quarters of a medium "Sam's Club" all meat
pizza and a bottle of MDG. Big mistake, eating "Italian" and drinking a
beer to close to me bedtime; I kept waking up with GERP most of the
night...

hamburgers. I ate a patty with mustard on it. (The gas I got made me
regret this...)

Dinner: Boiled chunks of pork chop, boiled potatoes and some boiled
sour kraut (I'll take this home with me, drain the juices and add the
rest of the bottle of "Frank's Sour Kraft" and that should taste good!)

Snack: some sausa on chips...

Next time, I will definitely get the "broiled" chicken as the
extra-greasy/crispy (not crispy!) threatened to have the dinner come
back up before I went to bed...I discussed this with Kathie the next day and she was upset about her "origional recipie" chicken being too crispy. So, it seems the KFC "crew" got the chicken switched...

Snack: a bit more choc ice creamme (my dog did such a great job of

easy to make meal was indigestion and the fear I'll blow chunks later

Dinner: We went out to dinner at Montana Mike's with two friends; I had
salad with 1000 Island Dressing, most of a 16 oz steak, a "fully loaded"
baked potatoe and a large roll with butter. Since Kathie was driving, I
had a beer! (A regular Coors) It wasn't all that great but it was
adequate and wasn't cursed with the words "light" or "lite" or "Ultra".
A couple of hours after eating, my stomach was bothering me so I drained
the last of the Pink (Pepto), took three Tums and slept well enough...

7 August 2009

Breakfast: a pork chop and two scrambled eggs, two sour dough bread toast and coffee

Lunch:

Snack: a cup of coffee followed by sharp chest pain...

Dinner: about ½ of a 6" subway sub (chicken breast on whole wheat) and water

I was feeling nausiated when I was looking at the selections...
I tried taking Tums but it didn't help. I ended up barfing twice and after Kathie got home (and after I finished watching Eureka, we went to Dillions and I bought a bottle of Mylanta. Now, Mylanta's label says Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking any drug for...diabetes

Well, I'm diabetic so I was supposed to ask the pharmacist (but the Dillions pharmacy was closed for the night) and I wanted to get a good night's sleep. The stomach pain had dropped off but minor pain becomes major when I try to sleep. So, I decided to accept the short term risk for the short term gain of being pain free and being able to sleep at night!

Pre-Bed Snack: Water and then some more water...

6 August 2009

Breakfast: cold oatmeal and coffee

Lunch: two largish egg salad sanwhiches and a can of DP

Dinner: roast beef, baked potatoe chunks with onion, creamed corn, that cabbage stuff, two biscuits with honey and apple crisp for desert.

I had a gin-n-tonic before going to bed.

Around midnight, I felt a very sharp pain just below my sternum. I rolled around in bed, hoping the pain would go away and went back to sleep for about an hour. Then, I went to the bathroom and took a couple of tums. It didn't do any good. I sat on the toilet and waited for the pain to go away. Kathie was worried and asked me when I was going back to bed. So, I went back to bed.

I repeated this cycle of get up, drink some water in the hall bathroom, fart, sit on the toilet and read an excellent book "Viet Nam Above The Treetops: A Forward Air Contrtoller Reports" by John F. Flanagan) for a while and then go back to bed. The last two times, I was feeling like I was about to barf. I finally put my finger down my throat and after I got done barfing, I drank some water, went back to bed and fell asleep immediately. The pain was gone.

This apparently was a really bad case of GERD but it damn near sent me to the Emergency Room!

 Breakfast:  Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls Sausage (Eggs, Potatoes, Sausage & Cheddar Cheese) and coffee

Breakfast 2: bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant

Lunch:  Gazpacho, cold cuts, some potatoe chips and almost of glass of non-sugar-free Pepsi and Mug Root Beer (about a half glass each)...

Here is the recipe I tried to get my co-workers to try.  Only one was willing to try this.  It was quite expensive and I feel like I got ripped off by their not having the testerone to try it!  Next office luncheon I attend, I will go as cheap and as non-adventuresome as humanly possible!


Gazpacho

Spain's noble contribution to the world of soup.

2 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded & chopped

1 large green pepper, seeded & chopped

4 cups cold tomato juice

1 tsp crushed red pepper

5-6 med tomatoes, peeled, seeded & chopped

5 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 large red onion, chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Garnishes -- sliced stuffed green olives,

                      chopped red onion,

                      peeled & chopped cucumber,

                     homemade croutons.

 

 

Stir all ingredients together thoroughly. Chill thoroughly. Stir again just before serving. Serve in frosted bowls with small bowls of the garnishes alongside so each person can add their own.

NOTE: This is not an original recipe;  I lost track of where I got it.
