Painful Death Avoided


Monday, October 22, 2012

Well, the good news is that there appear to be no ill effects from forgetting to fridge the stew for a couple hours.  As you'll see I partook heartily and feel just fine.  The bad news is that I'm still not back in weight loss mode.  I really need to do something about that.

Breakfast:  Bowl of leftover stew, coffee

Not contained herein:  DEATH
Smelled fine, tasted fine.  I am probably excessively paranoid about food safety - this is pushing it pretty far for me.  I rarely even mess with expiration dates.

Lunch:  3 leftover oatcakes with a pat of butter, 4 strips CF garlic pepper bacon, coffee

This plate is definitely missing something...
Yup.  No eggs (didn't want to mess a third pan).  No veg (couldn't decide what would go well so I skipped it).  No fruit.  So very tasty though, love this stuff.

Dinner Part 1:  Bowl of leftover stew, coffee

This is a repeat, but the picture is not
By using more meat and more vegetables, I made more stew (duh).  I ended up with 4 good sized jarfuls -- you can tell by how full the bowl is -- and I don't really want to let it sit in the fridge too long, so I had a second meal of it.  Next time either I'll figure out if it freezes or else I'll go back to just using 1 lb of meat.

Dinner Part 2:  Homemade pizza with a little CF pepperoni and green olives, 2 pepperocinis

I could eat pizza at every meal.  It only seems like I do already...
Tried tweaking the crust recipe - used 1/3C each of self-rising wheat flour, brown rice flour and parmesan cheese with a bit of extra baking powder.  Turned out just fine, honestly hard to tell the difference versus the regular wheat/parm version.  Now, to find a soaked version, though I still have a bunch of self-rising flour that I'd like to use up and I don't imagine that soaking that is going to be ideal.

Exercise:  Nothing formal.  I'm going to go move some stuff around but again nothing I can point to and say "exercise yo!".  It's raining again.
