Scale Your Disappointment

Saturday, November 23, 2024

TGIS.   Looking forward to a day of house projects and cooking.

Woke up in the 4:00 hour and could not get back to sleep, so I've been up for hours by the time I'm starting this.  No accomplishments in the first three hours, that's for sure.   Just aimless doom scrolling.  Need to break that habit.  For good.

A bit disappointed with the scale this morning.  I'm definitely retaining some stuff and I certainly ate plenty yesterday so it's not a surprise, it's just more than I would have anticipated.  It's not enough to worry about too much - on a scale of one to ten it might be a two - but it is still disappointing.  And it probably won't go down over the weekend either, especially since I have a birthday party tomorrow.

Adding:  I did something out of the box, I signed up for a herdshare.  Going to start getting some raw milk on a regular basis.  Finally found a farm that's close enough for it to make sense.  Sort of, anyway.

Breakfast:  Buttermilk pancakes with butter and maple syrup, CF black pepper garlic bacon, orange juice, coffee


Oh man was this good.  10/10 no notes.  I think gradually turning over my supplies to better quality ingredients is paying dividends.  I think I'm going to freeze the extra pancakes in two packs instead of three packs, so they're more of an accompanying item than a feature.

Lunch:  Brisket w bbq sauce


Grocery store brisket.  Again mediocre, but even mediocre brisket is edible.  Fatty, which was a plus.  Overcooked, so even though it was sliced it fell apart.  Not a fan of the BBQ sauce - I bought some Primal Kitchen to try but didn't open it.  Price was right and I think the girl gave me more than the standard.

Will have some jala Good Crisps as a snack later.

Dinner:  Home ovencheeseburger with mustard, home tallow fries with a little Primal Kitchen ketchup


First time making tallow fries.  Used the blanch/freeze/fry method, next time I may try double frying, but they were still good.  Also changed the seasoning on the burger and it was great.

Going to top the day off with some cava, I think.

Exercise:  Nope.  Active, busy day but nothing specific.
