A Tragic Lack

Saturday, November 16, 2013

Lacked bacon this morning.  And eggs, for that matter.  I had one egg, which was needed for the oatcakes.  No bacon.  Going to the farm today to stock up, but I guess I could have gone yesterday which would have alleviated all of this suffering.  I may not be entirely serious.  Being out of bacon and eggs is pretty low on the tragedy scale.  But things are definitely better with bacon.

Breakfast:  Oatcakes, coffee

Mmmmm, starch.

This is a bigger portion than usual - I normally divide the batch in three but this time just in two given the lack of things to go with it.  Also, I just realized that I forgot to add vanilla.  Oh well, they were still good.  That's the sort of thing that happens when you just plain wing the recipe.  I also tried a new kind of coffee today and was happy that it was fine.

Lunch:  Homemade pizza with CF pepperoni, 1 slice Armour 1877 salami, sauteed green pepper and onion

Yes, and yes again.  I could live on pizza.  I would be even fatter, but I totally could.

And this is why weekends are the best.  I mean, no reason I have to wait until the weekend to make this, but I did and with no time constraints ... well, anyway, yum.  I scaled down the crust by a third to make a slightly smaller pie and tried using a different pan.  Fairly successful.  I may need to work the dough just a bit more to make sure it's fully combined, but yeah.  Yum. Myfitnesspal clocks this in at about 1,000 calories, which isn't all that awful for the big meal of the day.

Dinner:  Lettuce tacos.  Romaine hearts, taco meat w/ CF ground beef, pico de gallo, avocado, a little cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice

The spread.  Didn't eat all the pico or sour cream but DEMOLISHED the rest

ZOMG LETTUCE TACO

Holy moly were these delicious.  I used a recipe from the internet, chef pablos dot com, and made it all from scratch, starting with the taco seasoning.  Will make again!  I will probably eat the leftovers (no leftover guacamole for obvious reasons) tomorrow as a taco salad.

Exercise:  No walk, though I did stay awake which is progress.  I should move my alarm to half an hour earlier yet, but we will see.  Did go walk 4.5 holes, pedometer said 1.35 miles in 28:30.  And I did most of an hour outside working in the yard.  So it was a pretty active day.
