• spaghetti with meatballs and extra meat sauce
• bread sticks
• "Diet Pepsi"

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...

Cheeze-It and can of "Pepsi One"

• a small piece of corn bread with corn
• a small brownie and a piece of apple pie

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

Lunch: four left over tacos and a bottle of Diet Pepsi

Dinner: Healthy Choice meatloaf meal and water. Later, a peanut butter

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).

Breakfast: cherios and coffee and four little donuts

Lunch: the local Rat -er- KFC opened back up so I had chicken, mashed potatoes and cottage cheese with brown gravy and desert and a glass of "Diet Coke".  I confirmed I no longer like the "extra crispy" and now like the grilled chicken (and am not all that fond of this either...)

Leader Dog For The Blind LIver Doggie Treat

I I made the "Leader Dog For the Blind" liver treat for dogs. I used

• 1¼ pound of chicken liver (recipe called for 1 pound but the store carried only this size
• an egg
• a premixed dry mix of
  • 1 cup flour and
  • 1 cup of corn meal

 PUt the liver and egg in your blender and mix them into a bloody red mix. If necessary, add just enough water to allow the liver nad egg to be blended. Then, mix with the flour and corn meal and spread onto a flat pan sprayed with anti-stick stuff. Bake at 400º for 15 minutes. After it cools, slice it into chunks (not too big, not too small) and store them in your freezer in plastic bags.

The treat fresh out of the stofve and unsliced.
Here is the treat sliced with one piece missing (feed to my dog).

Your dog will love them; mine does!

• fries
• medium "Diet Coke"

Dinner: which I cooked

• about 1¼ boneless skinned chicken breasts boiled
• I cannot remember the "side dish" I had with the chicken

I can't believe just how badly my boiled chicken turned out. If this had been at a restaurant, I would have been bitching for weeks. Instead, it was my own bad cooking and I have half of what I cooked left over. I'll just have to figure some way to cover the taste and finish eating it because, even if it was in the manager's mark down area of the cooler, it was still spendy...

• some kind of potatoes and I've forgotten what the were
• salad

The family of a little girl, who just got over childhood leukemia, brought around chocolate cake as a celebration and thanks for everyone who worried about Taylor (the girl).

2 June 2011

Dinner: We went to "King's Buffet", a "Chinese/American" restaurant where I had several chicken dishes, rice, some beef, and both a very little bit of pudding and ice creamme for desert.  At home, I had a couple of gin-n-tonics. At the risk of sounding like a lush, I felt like I needed the first one and didn't turn down the second when my wife offered it to me. Somehow, this reminds me of my Mother mixing "Old Fashioned" for my Father and my disgust at this (back in the late 1980s.) Now, I am becoming my Father in more ways than one and my wife her Mother (and my Mother) in various ways...

I still hope to outlive my Father. He died at age 68; I become 60 in 74 days...

23 May 2011

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Lunch: at Wendy's:

• a ½ pound hamburger with ketchup and mustard
• baked potatoe with butter and sour creamme and
• a medium "Diet Coke"

Dinner: a can of Healthy Choice chicken noodle soup and a bag of CHEEZE-ITs. I forgot my soup yesterday but remembered the peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches; today, I remembered the soup but left the pb-and-gj safely in the refrigerator...

I'm going to be really hungry by the time I get home around 11:15 pm... :-D

22 May 2011

Breakfast: left over steak, baked potatoe and roll and coffee

Lunch: we went to the new Italian place and I had

• rolls and butter
• spaghetti with meat sauce and meat balls
• two glasses of "Diet Pepsi"

The place was very crowded and in  spite of this, the service was not too bad...

Dinner: I had planned on Healthy Choice chicken soup and two peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches. It would have been nice if I'd just remembered to put the can of soup in with the sandwiches, can opener and spoon. So, I guess it's two sandwiches...

21 May 2011

Breakfast: pancakes and link sausage (cooked on Kathie's much loved fancy grill) and coffee

Lunch: Kathie's "Mexican", which is:

• a 10" soft taco shell with
• "Mexican seasoned" hamburger
• mashed re-fried beans
• shredded yellow cheese
• and after warming this through in the microwave, I added
• sour creamme and
• shredded lettuce.

I had two of these and washed them down with a bottle of Diet Coke. I would have preferred Diet Pepsi but Hastings "only carries Coke products" and we had stopped there for me to check out the new book collection. They had, in hard back, the third book in a John Ringo trilogy. I've got the first two books (also in hard back) in my living room and plan to start reading them in a week or two. Actually, I'm thinking of the 26th...

Dinner: a Healthy Choice meatloaf dinner, iced water and six little Oreos for desert

20 May 2011

Breakfast: cheerios and coffee

Lunch: the left over steak and pototoe from last night. It was quite good and I wish I'd left myself more... :-)

Snack: first, some ice creamme at the mall and then corns chips, cheese dip and a medium "Diet Pepsi" at the movie...

Dinner: We went to Montana Mike's and I had:

• salad with French dressing
• most of as 16 oz steak
• most of the baked potatoe
• nearly all of a roll with butter

The waiter brought us the bill when we were done eating but did not ask us if we wanted desert. I wonder if waiters/waitresses are being trained these day to not ask if patrons want desert? We would have said "no" but that is besides the point. We might have said "yes" and that would have lead to more sales for the restaurant and a bigger tip for our waiter...

20 May 2011

Breakfast: cherios and coffee

Lunch: the left over steak and pototoe from last night. It was quite good and I wish I'd left myself more... :-)

19 May 2011

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Lunch: a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich and bag of cheez-its and water

Dinner: We went to Applebys and I ordered:

• "French" onion soup
• 12 oz steak (ate about ¼ of it)
  
• large baked potatoe (ate about ½ of it)
• mixed veggies (ate most of them)
• iced water...

I simply was not hungry. The food was good and I took it home with me with the intent to have it for lunch the next day. I simply ran out of appetite. Then, several hours later, after going to bed early,  I realized I was waking up because I was hungry. I told myself that if I wasn't hungry enough to eat at 6 pm, I certainly wasn't going to eat at midnight...

The next morning, I had my best blood sugar reading in years: 122. (This is the "normal" value I am supposed to be getting all the time. :-[  )

So, now I know how to get morning blood sugar readings. I simply have to starve myself the night before and wake up feeling hungry several times at night. I'm not sure how long I could maintain such a regimen. It does remind me of how Kathie and I lost so much weight the first year we were married. We were simply hungry all the time. That is why we left Overeater's Anonymous in late 1980 and have never gone back...

• garlic bread with butter
• spaghetti with meat sauce and a side order of meat balls
• "Diet Pepsi" from the tap

Given our waiter was on his first day of waiting, the service was fine. The food was excellent. We arrived at 11:40 am and barely found a parking spot. There were two tables open when we arrived. When we left, there were folks waiting for a table and the parking low was full. It is always good to see a fine new place open. It looks like "Bella Italia" is going to have some serious competition!

Dinner:  a Healthy Choice Sweet & Tangy Chicken BBQ (Chicken Tenderloins in BBQ Sauce, Sweet Corn Blend, Red Skin Potatoes & Caramel Apple Multigrain Crisp) and water

I was feeling ill yesterday and visited my family MD this morning. He gave me some meds for a bladder infection. . My A1C was 8.1 so Dr. H doubled my Actos  from 15 mg to 30 mg and had me buy a 90 day prescription of this stuff. Given that 30 mg tabs of Actos seems to be much more expensive than Lizard Spit, it looks like I've lost this battle and will be "on the needle" in early August. I hope this note doesn't sound to whiny or too "Drama Queen" or too over the top. The "Drama Queen" is what Kathie called me the last time I got all "over the top" (to use Dr. H's phrase) about going "on the needle".

OK, it just means the battle (control of my A1C) has not been lost; I just need to change my battle tactics...

Regardless, it may be the infection or doubling the Actos but I feel awful.

P.S.:  I was thinking I was running a bit of a fever and was thinking of leaving work early tonight. Fortunately, they had an office party this noon so I ate some (about a third of a cup to a half of a cup) of ice creamme and dark chocolate and immediately felt better. Hummm, so this is what a touch of low sugar might feel like to me? Maybe it just meant the cold ice creamme cooled me off?

2 Mai 2011

 Breakfast: the rest of last night's ham, a fried/scrambled egg, some fried mashed potatoes and coffee

Lunch: at KFC where I had

• extra crispy chicken
• corn
• mashed potatoes with brown gravy
• chocolate pudding and apple crisp and
• a glass of "Diet Pepsi"

They got their money's worth from us. I was feeling ill and could not eat much...

Dinner: A Healthy Choice meatloaf (meatloaf, mashed potatoes with  brown gravy, corn and apple crisp) and iced water

May Day 2011

Breakfast: at the hotel, same food as yesterday

Lunch: We went to a streak buffet (I've forgotten the name) and I had some roast beef (didn't like it so Kathie ate it), a steak mashed potatoes and brown gravy and a  brownie with vinellia ice creamme and chocolate syrup. Also, a couple of glasses of "Diet Pepsi". The service wasn't too good but then it was very busy...

Dinner: a slab of ham and pre-made mashed potatoes with margarine

30 April 2011

Breakfast: typical buffet breakfast  at the Hyatt (eggs, croissant, potatoes, orange juice, coffee, etc.)

• salad,
  
• spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce
  
• and two glasses of some drought beer.

Snack: I split an oil can of Foster's with Kathie.

It was "Prom Season" so we had to eat dinner (evening meal) in a bar, not the restaurant and we were told that if we wanted to go to the rotating lounge, drink and watch the city "move around", we would have to put our names on a waiting list. We're not interesting in being held hostage by high school Prom kids and we went to our room...

29 April 2011

Breakfast: the last two slices of

• my homemade egg,
  
• cheese,
  
• ham quiche

• some kind of sauce,
  
• fries and

• roast beef,
  
• stewed red cabbage,
  
• mashed potatoes,
  
• a roll,
  
• two glasses of a fancy Australian beer
  
• and a chocolate desert.
  

The food was excellent, the service quite good and the cost about equal to the last three (3) times we went out to dinner in Dodge City. I mean it was very expensive!

Then, we went to the Hyatt's rotating lounge and I had two strawberry drinks. In keeping with the trend started with dinner, this was the highest bar bill I've ever had! My two drinks, Kathie's two red wines and the price was about $43!  Ouch Ouch Ouch

28 April 2011

 Breakfast: home made quiche and coffee

Snack: two chocolate chip cookies

I had one of the best evening scores I've seen in quite a while: 131

Once again, proof I don't understand this diabetes. I would have thought the choc shake at lunch would have jacked it but I would probably have been wrong.

My morning and evening (2 hours after "fork down") scores.

Easter 2011

Breakfast: spoon sized shredded wheat and coffee

Snack: peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and coffee

Lunch:  Kathie had a craving for lobster tails so we went to the Casino Restaurant. There, we discovered they were running an Easter Brunch. So, of course, we tried it!  The price was $12.99, which was less than the lobster tails and less than the steak I had been thinking of getting. So, I had:

• omelet with
  
  • sauteed onions,
  • ham,
  • bacon,
  • cheddar cheese
• two slices of ham
• scalloped potatoes
• roast beef wrapped around some filler (the beef was fine, the filler not; Kathie didn't like the filler either)
• a Mombasa (orange juice and champagne)
• Strawberry dakeria

Kathie was the "designated driver" and I was the "designated drinker" (for a change!)

Dinner: Healthy choice meatloaf and water then, some cottage cheese with grape jelly. This looks bad but is really quite nice. It reminds me of the cottage cheese and homemade (Grandma Maxson made) strawberry jam that Grandpa Maxson and I enjoyed.

Easter 2011

Breakfast: spoon sized shredded wheat and coffee

Snack: peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and coffee

Lunch:  to be determined

23 April 2011

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Lunch: Ramon noodles with a can of chicken added and to drink, a cup of coffee

Snack: small bag of popcorn

Dinner: at Applebys,

• cup of "French" onion soup
• fajitas with steak and chicken
• sour creamme and cheese
• iced water

Although it took several minutes for "our" waiter to show up, he was quite adequate. I did have to hold up my water glass to get a refill. In this waiter's defense, we came in just before a crowd of hungry people and the "wait staff" got fairly busy...

22 April 2011

_____Breakfast: three scrambled eggs with left over (cooked) hamburger and coffee

________Lunch:  Wendies for

• ½ hamburger with katchup and mustard
• baked potatoe with butter and sour creamme
• medium "Diet Pepsi"

_______Dinner: 

Pre-Bed Snack:

21 April 2011

Breakfast: At Burger King, their SOS but I didn't finish the potatoe thingies. I took them home.

Lunch: We went to Pizza Hutt and I had a slice of meat pizza, a slice of apple pie pizza, salad and vinalli pudding and two glasses of "Diet Pepsi"

Dinner: I was feeling sick to my stomach so I had milk toast, then the left over baked potatoe from the day before and a bottle of MGD.
