Permanently Attached to Couch

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

I am in a rut.  I am able to get up when the alarm goes off, but do not yet have enough enthusiasm worked up to translate that into activity.  Instead, I park myself on the couch for however long.  Usually at least an hour.  It was closer to two hours today - coincidentally about how much past my bedtime I stayed up last night dealing with a recurrent personal matter.  Argh.

Anyway, maybe by the weekend I'll be more on point.  It's a process.

Breakfast:  2 slices sharp cheddar, coffee

I am liking this can of Cafe Bustelo I bought when it was on sale at the store.  I had my doubts as to how well it would work being automatic drip brewed (it's a very fine grind) but the results have been just fine.  We'll see how the rest of the can goes, I might end up liking it better than my usual choice (Meijer breakfast blend).  I have a can of Yuban to try as well.

Lunch:  3 CF jumbo eggs, scrambled with a splash of milk, made into a cheese and grilled onion omelet, 3 very thick slices of CF thick sliced bacon, leftover oatcakes.

Breakfast for lunch is so good.  Why eat actual lunch ever?

One of the better omelets I've made at home.  Enjoyed it.  It was hard to judge how long to cook the bacon, I undershot by just a shade.  I think I'll stick to the regular thickness.

Dinner:  Hamburger gravy (CF ground beef, a bit of butter, flour, onion, milk) on potatoes mashed with butter and whole milk, green peas.

It was even tastier than what you would think based on this photo!

Ohhhhhhh do I like this meal.  It really pushes my buttons.  Bought a half gallon of milk instead of a pint or quart in anticipation of doing Thanksgiving potatoes so I went ahead and made milk gravy instead of  gravy with stock.  Yum, yum, yum.  And, in a radical departure, I think I'm going to divide this into 3 servings instead of 2 so I'll have an extra batch of leftovers!  Of course that means I should double up on potatoes tomorrow night to have some of those leftover, but we will see.  Also:  I am full.

Exercise:  None.  Sigh.
