Food with Attitude!

Oh shit yeah exactly crispy if they aint crispy that aint no good???

We were in the store reading labels. So much fun!

I ended up with vanilla wafers, Teddy Grahams, and rice cakes for snacks. Between yeast phosphorus, it rules out a ton of stuff.

Plus I got some broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes. I'll boil them to remove some of the phosphorus and keep it in the fridge in case I get hungry for real food.

Potatoes went back up again. There wasnt any 10 lb bags. I got a 5lb bag of yellow potatoes for just over $6.

My hair was very thick! I think I have lost about half the volume. To me, it feels like there's nothing there.

It sounds so vain, but hair is kind of my thing. If I have to cut it, I won't be able to go anywhere in town without someone making a comment.

I'll have to to ask about it when I go on Thursday. He already told me to take biotin because my nails break down to where it bleeds. I think that started back when I was anemic and had to get several iron infusions. It didn't seem to help much but I kept taking it because I've always heard it takes a long time to see a difference.

I did start taking a monthly migraine shot. I know, I know, but the headaches wore me down. I thought it might be that. If so, great! I'm not be taking it next month.

I was at my primary doc today who said it could very well be from my thyroid meds. That's o can't change, although if it keeps up, I may have to cut it.

Care to share how you do the wings in the oven/air fryer? I tried making sweet potato fries tonite (cut up some sweet potatoes pretty thin, tossed with olive oil and salt and put in for 20 minutes at 400) but they were kind of soggy.

The insides were soft and cooked though. I do have them up on a wire rack over a cookie sheet. But they might need to be a little higher up over the edge of the pan?

Thanks in advance!

You are the kind of beautiful that glows from the inside. The other things are just 'extras'...and you got lucky in that department too.

that cat looks like a hostage. Its trying to blink S.O.S.

My cat? If anyone's a hostage, it's me!

Kielbasa with potatoes and green beans. Mr's was cooked together, but I boiled my taters separately. Sort of like very lumpy mashed with butter, lemon pepper, and Parsley.

I'm not supposed to eat sausage so I had a quarter of a link and just cut it into really small bites.

You know, or sweet potato fries never get crunchy either. They brown and get soft. Regular fries seem to be ok though. I don't know what the difference would be.

I haven't air fried wings though. We usually bake those for 60-90 minutes. Mr likes them very dry.

They get cripsy (on the outside) in the airfryer. BUt sometimes I like them cripsy AND dry (some childhood memory of a Chinese chicken wing?).

Tonight's snack... You can see I'm all proper like eating it out of the box.
I've always liked graham crackers and cream cheese.

Yesterday went fine. Controlled mental urges to eat until last night. Cooked 1/2 lb of lean beef cooked in MCT oil, served w mayo, mustard on a whole grain breakfast muffin. MCT is fantastic and gives a better favor than olive oil, jmho. The pan is never dirty, must have a high temp tolerance. I managed to eat half w/o a craving until 9pm, then finished the booger.
Going to try again today, started w water, am splurging on 2 sugar cubes, soy, coffee. No supplements, I'm beginning to react to every capsule; tablets are fine. Tried to take the capsules apart, then realized I should consider blending/pressing my own pills. Day 2. Could be a crazier adventure.

I've heard lots of good things, but never tried MCT oil.

I'm having broccoli with butter for breakfast.

Alas...the truth behind it? I have no fricking clue. 'Looks real'.

:eww: Not eating those evah again!

I think it's a 5:2 fake fast I'm doing now, added 3c chicken broth 4 hours ago. So that's like +30 calories. I had to meditate before going to WF to buy wine and a birthday cake for a friend. omg. Everything was so tempting. I could literally smell the enclosed, refrigerated sushi. hahahahaha. I'm huuuuuuungery. 6 more hours to go, then I can pass out. If I feel hunger tomorrow, I'll eat. Belly and mind are doing much better than I expected.

Ok that's gross! Those are his favorite and I just bought him a big pack that was on sale for Christmas. Normally they're too expensive.

So Woody, don't watch this!!


He usually looks at the thread in the mornings.

It just occurred to me though. We have microscopic critters that live on our bodies that we need. So I'm going to choose to think that if that's real, they're good guys.

so much for holding back. wolfed down clone burger. too full. delicious. ugh.

Ha, sometimes you just can't do it.

Now when I think about back when I was fasting for 2-3 days at a time, I can't even imagine doing that now!

That leads me to think that your body tells you what it needs kind of like when something is wrong via symptoms.

Or maybe, it's just an excuse I made up for when my willpower failed.

Yeah, I'm with ya. I was trying to make light. I think I ate of those candies, too.

I've had choccy covered ants. But couldn't bring myself to do the mealworms or the crickets.

And I ate the worm from the bottom of the tequila bottle once.

So idk?

But maybe not so adventurous anymore. lol

I'll stick to my nice clear and very chocolatey vodka

I finally checked my email. I've been bad about that lately. Good I did, I had a coupon for a free birthday meal at the BBQ place!

Brisket sandwich (without the bread) and baked beans with my ho made air fries.

Full disclosure, next pic is a video. Butters liked it more than me! I can't recall the last time he actually took food. He usually waits patiently, or at least waits for me to give him as bite.

I didn't eat that piece. I don't think there was any flavor left on it anyway.

Butters has good taste. ;)

And I'll have some of that chocolate vodka.

THIS WAS THE LAST THREAD ON P.3

IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE LAST POST B4 THE NEW AC BANE. HISTORICAL

I'll eat Chips Ahoy, and that's it!

Chocolate vodka, you say.......hmmmmm. Sort of want.

We stayed home today as there are storms coming through. Good day to do house work.

We decided to try Mongolian beef. My orange chicken was a hit so why not.

Mr is cutting the beef now. He had bought a roast to make jerky, but never got around to it. Perfect!

Ohh yum!

We had storms too, snow though.
And the driving was horrible. But I have a nice fire going in case the power goes out. And I made chili and cornbread. Tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic from the garden, meat from the neighbor's grass fed cow. spices and beans were store bought, but I do have some dried beans from the CSA...I should have planned a little better.



And the choccy vodka should be the 360 brand double chocolate. It is far better than even the Godiva version.

Db, that's perfect cold weather food!

I thought we were going to have bad thunderstorms. I think it was part of the system that caused a tornado in TX. We got lucky though. It petered out before it got here.

There is one thing we all love, it's called the maillard reaction. This is what makes all food taste better. Today I made an extreme version of this by adding to butter. The results were insane.

Tonight...the long awaited for ho-made biscuits, with 'American sausage gravy', and a few brekkie sausages (Schneiders, so Canuck)! I'll take a pic...but it's just going to look like a mess on a plate.

It only took me 52 years, but I finally learned how to make Chinese food.

Mr says it's better then restaurant food. I used this recipe except for the spices in the cornstarch. I never measure those.

[link to christieathome.com (secure)]

I tried a new cookie recipe too..jury is still out. Only 4 ingredients though


1/2 c. Butter, softened
2 1/2 c. almond flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp almond extract

mix in a bowl, chill an hour, roll out and cut, chill on tray 15 min and then bake in 400 oven about 6 min.

The recipe said 425 but that burned them in 4 minutes.

let cool completely before moving or they shatter.

and I did melt some choccy chips to drizzle over them.

I'm just trying to find gluten free recipes for littlest and tweak them. I sent a batch to college.

I think that if I did it again, I would use some tapioca flour or arrowroot instead of all almond flour. I'm aiming for the texture of a pecan sandy and these were a little too grainy. I used coconut sugar to make them a little better health wise, but it isn't much for a whole batch of cookies. And I am debating about replacing half or more of the butter with coconut oil. But the flavor was pretty nice.
