When You Repeat Yourself Every Week

Saturday, January 29, 2022

I mean, I know I say it every week, but say it with me.  With authority.  TGIS.  Seriously.  I just seem to run out of gas by Friday afternoon - not physically so much, but more mentally.  It gets hard to fight through the dontwanna.  But now, even though I have a million things to do, I'm not locked into being at the office, chained to the phone.  Feels good man.

Not as much cooking planned for the weekend.  Going to make a pot of soup but that may be about it.  Have a new item on the menu but otherwise a lot of same old dependably good stuff.

Breakfast:  1 egg over medium hard, 2 slices toast with butter, guacamole, a sprinkle of mexicheese, grapefruit, coffee

A little sandwich action this morning, nice and easy and delicious.  Wasn't super hungry so it was easy to keep things in check.  And I cleaned up bread I didn't eat when I missed lunch on Thursday.  All good.

Lunch:  Chili Cheese Dogs

Something new!  Homemade buns -- yes, I made them giant on purpose, next time I'll make them smaller -- Kogel's beef franks, homemade chili dog sauce, mustard and oops I remembered onion halfway through eating.  Quite good and better, honestly, without the onion.  Next time I'll use a milder onion.  Might also toss them in a heated oven to melt the cheese (since I didn't have any finely shredded cheddar open).  But all in all very good.

Snack:  Chips and onion dip.

Didn't have lunch until 2:00 so I had a snack.  Doh.  Weekends.

Dinner:  Home thin crust pizza with sausage and onion, 24 oz All Day IPA

I do love the Saturday night pizza and it's so very easy (at least when you have dough and sausage thawed from the freezer ready to go).  Just delightful.

Might have a gin and tonic later just for something different, I think I have a little bottle of tonic that's been hanging out in the fridge for a long time.  Edit:  Nope, never got around to it.

Exercise:  Sigh.  I think it was 5 degrees when I woke up.  Which was not at 5:00.  Not close.  Going to try to make up for the absence of regulation exercise by being nice and active today.
