New Traditions Needed

Saturday, February 25, 2017

Happy weekend.  At least for part of today it will be a true weekend.  I probably can't take too much time away from the grind, but even just a morning of lazing about and doing household chores is nice.

It occurs to me that it's weird to have not had a pizza on Friday night.  Growing up, that was tradition.  And of course it was one I enjoyed, since pizza is delicious.  I've eaten pizza way more often than once weekly since, but Friday always seems like pizza night.  Maybe once things are solidly on track I'll let myself have a homemade lower carb version.  Or a slice if I go out with people.  I just need to not eat half or 3/4 or a whole pie.

Breakfast:  6 sausage + olive balls, coffee

You can tell I am with it because all six balls are pictured.

Ate the rest of these.  I need to remember to season future sausage with crushed red pepper.  Decided to be lazy and have breakfast for lunch instead.

I don't track in detail the number of cups of coffee I drink because I always drink it black.  Total of three today, 2 in the AM and a cup of decaf in the afternoon.

Lunch:  2 eggs over medium, 4 strips bacon, hash brown mix in butter, a small glass of Meijer organic vegetable juice

Pre-seasoning.  Juice also not pictured.

Yum.  Glad I'm stocked up.  Added some juice that I impulse bought last night after reading some old posts, including one about how I like the Meijer brand better than V-8.

Dinner:  Most of a sous vide chicken breast, homemade yellow basmati rice, a few peas, hot sauce.  Later, 12 oz Two Hearted Ale

Bland, blah.

Fail.  I need to step up my spice game.  Pretty bland.  I managed to eat most of the chicken breast and most of the rice after dousing it liberally with hot sauce.  I only managed a few peas, they just didn't complement the rest.

Lots of leftovers, too.  I think I'll try making skillet chicken fried rice, see how that goes.  Maybe.

Exercise:  Nope.  Very much a homebody on a cold, snowy Saturday.  Back and forth between the couch and doing little things around the house.
