Happy Improvisation

Monday, February 3, 2014

Almost a good day.  Almost.  I went back to hard surface sleeping last night and while I didn't sleep great I got up without incident.  I had enough aches and pains to decide not to push it with exercise, but it was a very pleasant morning.  Felt pretty good all day.  Starting to fade a bit, but I should have enough left in the tank to finish tonight's project, which is improvising some beef stew.

Breakfast:  Bacon and sharp cheddar sandwich w/ 3 strips bacon, ~ 2 slices Kraft sharp cheddar, the end pieces of a loaf of sourdough.  Coffee

Stylin' with the paper towel plate, woo

Tasty.  And it held me pretty well.  I'm out of bread.  I think.  Maybe I have other ends n pieces in the freezer, I should look.

Lunch:  2 McDonalds cheeseburgers, 1 medium fries, coffee

Oops.  I didn't have time to eat real food, I had six minutes to get this, which I ate on the road.  It was better than average for McDonalds but still mediocre.

Dinner:  Romaine and tomato salad with improvised "ranch" dressing, homemade pizza with CF sausage

Yum?  Yeah, all sorts of yum.

I used up the last leftover sausage link and the last of my shredded italian cheese.  This is just too easy and too good.  Because I can I ordered some einkorn flour over the weekend and am looking forward to see if I can use that in place of the wheat flour.  Should be a fun experiment.

One random highlight was improvising something approximating ranch dressing, despite not having any mayo or chives or .... I dunno.  Sour cream, buttermilk, dill and other spices made a tasty dressing worlds better than the not-very-good blue cheese that had me questioning the point of eating salad yesterday.  Yay.

Also:  12 oz Bell's Two Hearted Ale.  Yum.

Exercise:  Nope.  If I do some, it will help.
