Sausages have spices and maybe some other plant stuff in them. Should they be limited ?

yea I get that. I think about that also. I think age and other factors obviously come into play on that. We can only tighten skin up so much and then the rest is left to the universe. That is one of those crapshoot issues alot of us can only find out the loose skin results when we get there 
See what parts tightened back better than what parts didn’t LOL at least it is working that way for me so far. And ponder away 
, it is always good to think things thru as you need.
@Karen18 so sorry you got a nasty hip situation from that and those sound hard to me, in fact your CrossFit sounds hard to me LOL so you give yourself tons of credit on what you do get handled!! But never go to far to hurt yourself, push a bit sure, but don’t go down that road into getting an injury, or anything long term that will annoy you. Happy the mask worked well for you 
Sounds like you got some frustration built up and had to get it out a tad…I feel ya on that!!
@Carnivoor
for me personally, no I would not limit those delish sausage…if they treated me well! When I do good on a food and it suits me personally and all is fine on that food, then I eat it and eat the hound out of it!! I think about processed stuff like sausages and a few other things, we just have to see if they suit us and we do great on them…that is the only true deciding factor for me. Your meat pics are nice!
----------food yesterday was
big ribeye steak which was a delish one
few slices taylor ham
2 beef sticks
I feel more hungry lately now and I think my appetite is gonna ramp up a bit. Just feels that, will see if I eat more or what
have to drive mom home from her visit here today but when I get home later I will eat up a 1 lb. pork tenderloin I have defrosted. second meal not sure, nothing is calling my name, just yet.

Was a sore night and each time I got up for the loo i could feel I was getting more and more stiff! I was fortunately able to stair run pain-free and it freed up the stiffness but throughout the day I have felt a few twinges though nothing to write home about.
I forgot to book my CF class for tomorrow which is probably a good thing so I will be able to rest my back and hip another day. I have booked in for Thursdays class though as I can’t stay away too long lol.
Had a lot of standing today at wotk as I was on visits again. Wasn’t a bad day though, plenty of banter this morning with good work colleagues. Took a packet of 5 roast beef slices and chicken with cheese to heat in mikey for my pack up.
Home this evening and a full plate of bacon with 2 freshly laid eggs. Too much bacon for my taste but I ate it all the same lol and followed it with some vintage cheddar.
A bit of a lay in for tomorrow me thinks Yay. I have 3 weeks off work now for summer leave yessss! Rock on Tommy!

I’m seeing more and more of this low fat carnivore being pushed in the last few days all over Facebook seems like it’s being pushed as a fad diet option to add to carnivore to lose weight faster…
I find it quite strange cos this is something I may have opted for had I not been following this group and Fangs advice to just eat when hungry stop when full approach and not get in your own way… …when I started carnivore I was hungry all the time at times it seemed like I was eating all day every day.
After 4 1/2 months on carnivore I’ve just noticed a sharp change in how much I’m eating it seems like almost over night I’m not as hungry I don’t need food as often
Which is good because snacking had crept in with pork rinds and now hopefully I can remove it and just eat 2 meals and be good to go.
Meals the last couple of days steak, german sausage, and bacon and pork ribs flanken rib
I’ve been cooking, a variety of meat at a time and making a meat plate taking what I need off of the plate putting that on a smaller plate and the left overs has been my 2nd meal…

Wow…3 weeks is a wonderful mini vacation to enjoy!
Just baby yourself a bit for the soreness. I know it 
Relax up a bit and enjoy all that time for yourself!
@Azi, yes I see the ‘go low fat’ option out there also. So many people will not give time on carnivore ‘to do its thing’ and even in carnivore people need/desire/fantasize about 'fast weight loss dieting tips/tricks and manipulation but all those work against carnivore actually.
Any newer type info about ‘drop some fat content’ out of your meals should be for longer term carnivores only…not newbies ever.
It is imperative new carnivores eat any and all food they desire at any time of the day any way they like…this is the big point of ‘feeding the body’ so it can start to heal the hormones and once your hormones are reset and balanced better…all internal stuff we don’t see in the mirror or on the scale…then your healthier body will tackle weight loss better.
but some longer term carnivores still don’t lose ‘well or fast enough’ and when I read that I can swing 2 ways…first is they are eating other crap and not saying they are on the post and just won’t admit it (it is the internet after all LOL) and the next is they are not truly metabolically healed as well as they should be cause with us all being so different, live and work different and have real medical issues the body has to handle, the healing is still happening and they feel ‘they should be there by now’ but aren’t quite so that desperation of ‘start to diet’ comes into play.
and I love you had a switch up!! you said: After 4 1/2 months on carnivore I’ve just noticed a sharp change in how much I’m eating it seems like almost over night I’m not as hungry I don’t need food as often-----------------------and this is how it happens for us, but everyone is on their own timeline. All of the sudden we change instantly and we feel it, know it deep down and we start to truly ‘feel our bodies’ as a real living, breathing, feeling, knowing entity. And when we hit ‘that ZC Zen’ feeling we are well into our healing and believe me, you are still a young carnivore, longer down the line you have more changes and flip around again and it is nice that we ‘switch like that’ but we also aren’t caught unaware in any way…we feel the changes happening
With eating less fat sometimes tho it is all about the protein. Many carnivores love love love the fat…but fat truly is a ‘satiation’ monitor. Fat shuts down our wanting to eat protein. Shuts down our want for more food which is a wonderful thing but at the same time can work against some people in that they truly do not eat enough. When we don’t eat enough we can stall out on weight loss definitely but with that fat satiation level happening, we don’t feel like we aren’t eating enough and we start to scratch our head…like why isn’t the body losing some lbs? Cause if one under eats the protein and focus is too much fat then we ‘unbalanced’ ourselves unintentionally in a way.
Which is why it isn’t too smart to eat a ton of added fat like 1/2 stick of butter frying up a steak Or some cook pork belly or gear at the highest fattiest meat they can----but on purpose ya know.
Key is eat what your body is asking for at all times.
One day I want fat and alot of it…the next day my body says go leaner and I do just that. But again it takes time for your body to tell you exactly what it needs and this is time on plan of course.
Many of us came from keto plan background, or extreme low carb etc. and we ‘know how to diet’ but with carnivore we truly don’t want to bring this baggage into this plan but of course we do…I did for a while and the more I tried ‘to control carnivore’ the worse I did! Long term people with 6-10-15 years eating this way said one thing I did love…get out of your own way and just eat! And I tell you it is hard to not try to control your own food cause on extreme low carb I did it and lost weight faster but in the end, I also failed alot, got hungry alot, then had to use other dieting tips/tricks to control that! It became miserable 
So key to everyone truly is just eat and eat as you need and stay on plan! We all let that happen and we can find some big truths out about ourselves and then we have to listen how our body is showing us the path to follow for that day.
gosh I love chatting zero carb LOL Thing is you read this and that from others who experienced it and I wasn’t…but when I just ‘ate carnivore as I needed’ I started to get all those experiences and finally knew what they were talking about…but reading is great from others, living it and feeling the changes are the big monster plus that is a thrilling part of carnivore plan. I got that 'I GET IT! I get it! feeling of 'yea, I know what you are saying now and I feel it and get it! WOW…and it is so hard to convey to others until they start to experience it.
Azi, enjoy your variety plates! I did that also…I was so into eating that I never knew what I wanted cause I wanted it all! So like you I cooked a ton of variety and it was delish…but of course as time goes on we change again and only want certain foods and we find those best meal plans that suit us.
Rock on carnivores!!!

Low fat carnivore??? Perhaps some people thinks its high fat hahahha. I don’t feel half as satisfied after eating a lean cut of meat as I do with a more fatty piece. I tend to feel hungry more quickly and eat something else to get satisfied which I guess in the long run would equate to eating a smaller meal of fatty meat??? I also get a bit heady if I just eat lean like when I eat skinless chicken (cos I don’t like the skin) and lean steaks etc
I definitely feel much leaner without trying and my work trousers feel very comfortably loose too. I am getting closer to the stage of not tracking too as I feel I know roughly what to eat to make sure I don’t eat too few calories, but I like stats to a certain degree so not quite ready to give up yet lol
Fangs
#189
Yup—crazy isn’t it LOL
we don’t ‘know truths’ about people on forums in a way cause they say they eat 100% carnivore only and in over a year they have lost no weight at all and it makes me wonder, wonder what they are really doing but we can’t even guess that ya know…then of course other carnivores come in and say…watch how you monkey around…you ‘cut fat’ on carnivore to control your body to force weight loss it doesn’t work…our bodies require a good amt. of protein for nutrients and to use that protein to heal/repair so ya gotta eat well…you eat less to starve off lbs, it won’t work…you can try to manipulate carnivore but in the end it bites a person in the butt. Your body has to show you what to eat each day and it will if we just let it.
Like you…you require your fat. You work hard! You CrossFit hard! You are the Stair Queen for sure and your body says quite openly I want…and you eat that and feel great but when you go against your normal a bit like eating your chicken ‘real fast’ your body tells you this wasn’t the right choice…I want…and that is what real carnivore shows people…just eat.
and love your trousers are loose and your body I am sure is toning up so much better from all your exercising and your body is changing big time for you with better more to come…but it doesn’t have to show you a 6 lb. drop for the week on the scale to prove any of this to you! Love that!!
good post K!

First day of my 3 weeks off and I stayed in bed till 8.20am woo hoo! I knew I wasn’t going to CF this morning so just took my time in a nice relaxed way. Back still stiff but eased a little after the stair runs. Hoping it feels a bit better tomorrow else I will have to dope myself up on paracetamols prior to the CF class.
Lovely warm sunny day.
Brunch was chicken breast, 3 chicken frankfurters sauted in butter with melted cheddar. I am not a big fan of ‘hotdogs’ but got them for variety. They weren’t too bad done in this way.
Had some blue cheese mid afternoon which was very tasty. Then had a landscaper round to give me a quote to hardscape the garden (the guys who were going to do it in August let me down this past week) he was very nice and professional and knew his stuff but is very expensive so I had to cook myself dinner of 2 rump steaks, they say food for thought lol. I find it so hard to spend money especially as I am retiring fully in 2 years time and this will bite 8nto the retirement fund I have been saving, so I am popping over to see my daughter later to talk through these thoughts. She is good to talk things out with. Very sensible.
And the beautiful flowers she gave me on my birthday are gradually opening up so here a little pic of those cos they’re pretty

3 weeks off very nice enjoy your vacation…
Yeah calorie watching was easy to do on keto, and started that way on carnivore just through logging all my food just like you for data…but in the past week I’ve cut that out too mainly because I was eating what I wanted anyway (I was eating to hunger not calories) and to see how I go with taking off the training wheels while still monitoring the scale…

Awwwww, shucks …@Fangs Thank you so much! You’re so sweet, I could dunk you in my coffee.
I’ve had some tougher days here and there. Work is difficult because our company will not lift the mask mandate, even though the gov. Health Dept, and everyone else has. So. Wearing a mask, having some insane hot flashes, wearing a long sleeved shirt, pants, COMPRESSION HOSE, and a mgmt jacket or vest…you can imagine how thrilled I am going to work each day.
Doctor said that the leg has a few issues. We are going to do some heavy duty compression hose through the summer, then have some surgery in the fall. Its too hot now to do that surgery and wear the hose 24/7.
Been a little down, with some general life stuff, but, trying to get a good night’s sleep and wake up more positive. Have a good night, all. Cheers!!!

Sorry to hear you going through such a rough patch S.B the way the time seems to be flying by hopefully you’ll be able to get your leg sorted before you know it. Until then hopefully you can rest it as much as you need to since your always so busy and on the go. With so much going on .

I have major swelling issues in my right leg due to a blood clot back when I was in my early 20’s. I have come to the conclusion that in the summertime, I need to wear compression stockings to keep that swelling down. I don’t wear them all of the time, but when I walk/go on hikes or long car rides. They really make a difference. I also be sure to not add any extra salt to my food, which seems to help with the swelling as well. I don’t have prescription stockings, but the 15-20 mmHg ones you can get from Amazon. Sigh…I’m bummed, but at least my legs feel better. Good luck with your future treatments @SecondBreakfast!
Things have been going along swimmingly for me. I’ve always heard that the closer you get to your “goal weight”, the harder it is to lose those last few pounds. It’s almost difficult to even notice those losses, because they are so negligible. However, I have an app that tracks my weight (yes, I still weigh every day) and as I looked back at my weight history, I realized that a year ago I was hovering around 175, and had been for about a year. I was resigned to the fact that my body was comfortable at that set point. Today, when I got on the scale it registered at 165.4.
I’m not one of those people who can say that I haven’t changed a thing, but what I have changed is working. I’m eating more lean meat–honestly, not for weightloss purposes, but because I genuinely like the taste better. @Fangs has indicated this has happened to her on several occasions. I started doing my power walks. Again, not for weightloss, but because the daily exercise really helps me get a good night’s sleep and puts me in a much better mood for the day.
Would the weightloss have occured had I not made those changes? Maybe. I truly believe that your body gets to a weight it was comfortable at at one time and stays there for quite a while before “letting go” of more weight.
Trust the process! It works, but sometimes you have to be patient with your body and let it do things in its own time frame.
Keep trekking, Fellow Carnivores!

Aww, thank you! I guess, in the whole scheme of things, my issues aren’t really all that bad. The hot flashes probably bring more irritation than anything. I mean, work or at home, a vicious hot flash -while doing anything - will reduce me to an angry, sweaty grump. The last two weeks have been almost non-stop with hot flashes, and at one point, I almost quit my job. I’m not the irrational, impulsive type - but the intensity of the flashes has been quite powerful in changing my demeanor. The frequency of them had increased to a point where it was almost non-stop, and therefore, it was as though my demeanor had a semi-permanent change. I really dislike these times when I don’t feel great, and very unlike myself. But seriously, in comparison to some ailments, my experience with this is really minute.
The leg, I am confident will get better. The specialist I’m going to is wonderful, and I can text him any time if I have trouble.
IIll check back in after my first day with these new hosiery contraptions. 31-40mmHg

Day 2 of my 3 weeks off, sorry to rub it in but I am hoping the days will pass slower this way hahaha!
Was surprised I didn’t lose sleep over the quote for my garden but must admit that each time I got up for the loo it was the first thing that came to mind! Decided I can’t warrant spending so much on the garden.
So I called another man for a quote and he has gone off to put some figures together. We shall have to wait and see now.
Stair runs down to ease off my back but cancelled the CrossFit again.
Brunch was sauted chicken bacon and cheese.
Dinner was 2 rump steaks
Also ate some nice strong cheddar and some blue cheese.
Moved a leg of lamb from the freezer to fridge may cook that today.
The steak looked over done but it was lovely and rare inside and very tasty. Ate every morsel

@SecondBreakfast well I am thrilled it is just some issues to get sorted out…that means it is nothing threating you terribly at the moment, just get them sorted out like ya said when you need…sorry tho on the hot flash issue…wow that is kinda over the top. I am like you tho in that when I don’t feel well all bets are off on how I might act HAHA I am one who doesn’t ‘do being off’ well at all. Here’s to hoping all of it comes together and you find yourself more balanced out down the line…thanks for check in cause I was worried about you but it seems like you got everything under control so that is great!!
@Karen18
yes your 3 weeks are gonna fly by probably but boy that 3 weeks you know you will enjoy.
landscape work etc. can be very pricey. I understand you wanting to save some pennies. You know another thought if your new quote comes in to high is to maybe have ‘the worst of the hard work done’ and pay for that but leave some of the ‘easier part’ of the job you want done for you to finish off at your leisure…but sometimes it is what it is to just pay for it and go for it and ‘get’er done’ for one cost…hope this quote comes in lower for you!!
@Redrobins
what a wonderful update report from you!!
Yes, we do have ‘body set points’…it is like a thermometer that Dr. Kevin Stock writes about. Our thermomenter is ‘set’ at a certain weight and it can take a long time for more healing/changes to effect that number and we change again…but part of that ‘set point’ could be our food we eat as we need for our bodies.
I think most carnivores at a certain point when healed more have a tendency to definitely eat more lean…not alot! But we go thru bigger periods of truly requiring less fat for our bodies all because our hormones are truly balanced. our bodies are fed well, truly nourished, we heal all balances/systems in our bodies and they work ‘better’ and we slowly change and alot of times less fat is required…but that takes time on our plans for each of us to change…sounds like you are going thru some eating changes too Just exactly what this plan is all about!!
Eat what you love, what your body is asking for, all you want, as each of us need at all times and we get big changes that happen!! It takes time, more time than many ever want to commit to seeing changes on a plan but this isn’t just a plan to try ya know…it is a lifestyle that really gives us so much if we just hold that faith and trust that process. Super happy your lost some lbs by just eating so well
Loved reading your post RR!
------------------SO carnivores you guys need to think of a July name!!! Someone throw out a good one we can use cause quess what?? Our Blune June is flying by and gosh we are gonna be in July before you know it!!
So I won’t be post as much daily…leaving today on a 2 week beach trip in our RV. I will be bringing my laptop tho so I can post a bit but I hope to be having more fun outside and enjoying the ocean and using my boogie boards and metal detector than typing on the keyboard HAHA
I got tons of meat packed in the RV and I had a ‘good chat’ with me about holding plan and being very on carnivore point!
I am holding my 2.5 lb loss for this month and I decided hard and firm that vacation is not a ‘lets cheat’ time ever in my life again cause it isn’t a part of me anymore and I have every intention of just doing my carnivore thing…after all it is who I am, even tho there might be a few rum drinks out on the beach relaxing
Carnivore strong and stay the course everyone…will chat up later, have a few things to finish up to get out of the house and on the road!

Odd week but I don’t complain 
OMAD or close to OMAD, I lost all interest in eating… Okay, it’s not good longer term but it’s a nice change for now. It won’t last forever.
I never had this even in heatwaves. That we totally have now, it’s awful. Well it’s not so bad all day but still, it’s way way too hot for me. I drink a lot, don’t go out much and eat very little. Still enough I suppose, I am just not used to this modest amount from myself.
I had roasted turkey wing, meatballs or what should I call them (I don’t know what meatballs actually are. my food was pork mincemeat mixed with yolks, little spice and fried. the vast majority is meat) and FINALLY finished the chicken liver (except the 2 packages in the freezer). I found bony chicken parts and a big pig skin in the freezer so I made aspic with meat and little skin pieces in it. My first such stuff, not bad.
It’s June so I don’t do even carnivore-ish every day but it seems keeping my normal food carnivore is what matters to me. Carnivore is the base and extras may or may not be present. It puts me into the right-enough-for-now attitude.
I barely can imagine eating my normal meals not carnivore(-ish, with those almost nothing little condiment/spice type things) at this point… My old keto options super quickly disappeared. I am vaguely aware of their existence especially that I make similar things for Alvaro quite often… But they are so unneeded complications. I rather eat my simple and tasty carni food almost each and every time. So I don’t slide down epically on slippery slopes nowadays, that’s nice.
Low-fat… What IS low-fat? I never knew.
And how people promote low-fat carnivore (that sounds quite bad, honestly)? It MAY work for a little while for certain persons but we are all different, different tastes, goals, needs!
I am not even one who can control their macros, they just… Happen. Yeah, theoretically if I choose some nice leaner meat, I can but nope, I don’t work that way. If my body wants fat, it will find the way to get it even if I ate 200g protein before. I don’t get satiated or satisfied by protein alone (and a tiny fat), after all.
Sometimes I wonder about trying leaner and fattier days but well, they mostly just happen and they are almost never very lean or very fatty… I have my comfortable zone and I am not a masochist to leave it (not like I could just because I decide that). I know that fat tissue and protein works similarly well so I have a wriggle room but I like fatty meat (tomorrow I buy pork chuck again, it’s on sale. chuck is nice, not too fatty, not too lean. except when I want super fatty. I never actually desire lean meat, I just may tolerate and even enjoy it in rare cases. but not too lean, just leaner than chuck)… If I have some too lean meat to my liking, I simply barely touch it and eat eggs instead. I can’t eat food I don’t enjoy just like I can’t force myself into certain macros. And eating <N calories, that was never my style. I had an 1600 kcal limit (kind of. I don’t respect limits much) and I was hungry (or not but I fancied something) and already over 3000 kcal? I obviously ate more. And tried to find a way where I am satiated without overeating. Okay, it already happened on low-carb but not all days are the same, to put it lightly, I changed too… I needed to finetune my woe and I am still not fully finished. But it’s pretty okay right now.
[…]
This was yesterday, I couldn’t send it. Or the previous very old ones but it’s fine to lose that.
My morning cycling was nice though I still needed a shower afterwards… But we had wind and the house is a tad cooler than yesterday when I overslept and closed the windows a tad late (but nowhere as late as in the last years)…
I don’t need to sleep late lately and it’s very very good. I still didn’t master going to bed early (like, at 1am) but that will happen eventually if I keep getting up 3-5 hours earlier than usual.
It seems the meat on sale doesn’t arrive Friday morning to the village shop, there was no pork chuck (or chicken legs… I don’t like chicken but I tend to use them for my soups and anyway, variety. some chicken are better tasting than others) but the pork shoulders had a nice price too. Hopefully I won’t eat too much on OMAD! Probably not. I eat so little this week, it’s super cool, well it’s not true for today but that’s natural and surely needed. I never ever ate little for a whole week (except when starving but that was special, I had no food or money for food and it only lasted several days once in my whole life).
I will roast them later.
But I suddenly got a bit hungry even before noon so I ate some eggs. 7 this far (but I ate a little ham too :D). Oh well. My dinner will be mostly meat and I will have pork to eat in the next days whenever I get hungry!
I am still quite pleased with my eating.
But I made a tiny mistake of weighing myself It was more than last time (i surely didn’t gain while eating way below my needs) so it’s stupid, I forget about it. I have pants, they show what I need to know.
I saw the biggest bumblebee in Europe! I have clary sages (a lot, it’s a very sturdy weed, it’s everywhere, I pull them out all year. but I keep some at the right place) and that bumblebee LOVE it in summer. The feeling is mutual (kind of, clearly not literally) as the flower needs very big ones to pollinate.
And I ended up on a page about honey. Oh it was nice, after all the stupid food related stuff in fanfics I read lately (I am way more sensitive to them since carnivore) I finally read smart stuff. The beekeeper author totally thinks honey is vegan food (basically plant matter with some enzymes), at least way better for the planet and insects than anything else vegans may eat instead… I am always all for proper information instead of delusional BS. Not like it helps with the stupid vegans who think eating plants doesn’t kill zillion animals but some are bound to understand things.
I am not sure all have set points… Many people immediately changes their weight if I eat a bit less or more… Alvaro is like that, losing and gaining comes very easily to him (especially gaining as he needs very much food to get satiated all day, a bit more than his needs, sadly). I only lose fat if I eat less than my needs (it’s rare but I may eat even sugar, it doesn’t matter, only the calories, I lose if I eat little. not like I have ANY chance to eat little if I eat much carbs but I had some interesting times on low-carb), my body can handle a very serious level of overeating for long before it gives up and start to gain extremely slowly. So I never worry about gaining but it’s borderline impossible for me to lose as I just don’t eat little… It’s possible even my body is a bit more complex but all my experiences point to this.
Okay, extreme circumstances exist. Alvaro lost much weight in hospital and very quickly gained it back despite not eating more than usual, I think… But a tiny surplus works quickly on him and he wasn’t very active so maybe it was normal…
Even so, my body LOVED being 69kg (but it very readily went below when I ate less. it could keep this weight by making me hungry for much food almost all the time). Why on Earth doesn’t it goes back to that? I have plenty of modest days 
And I eat less carbs than ever. And I am not even inactive… Odd. Oh well, it will be sorted out eventually. It’s a tad more urgent now though as I want to fit my summer pants (I can wear them but they aren’t perfect). Going out in long pants in 38C isn’t nice. Not like I often go out then but sometimes I have to. I have another, fitting summer pants but it starts to fall apart at the seems, I will try to fix it… Long pants are good against nettles though But there are no nettles if I just go to the town. It’s a popular wildlife park with broad roads, not the other nearby forests with nettles and those “sticky” things the cats are full with lately.
As always, I don’t participate in the naming thing as I am pants at it… But I have my birthday in July! July is “my” month from my viewpoint… Except the weather is totally not But I had my summer vacations as a child in July, with a lot of nature… I have fond memories of July.
I plan a way more carnivore-ish month (and June was surprisingly good considering we barely have fruits and what else would I eat carby - except when Alvaro gets creative and potentially uses up all my meat in the process -), we probably only will have blackberries (and very tiny amount of others) and I am not fond of those. I will just pick them and get thorns inside me every time…
I will plan my cake. Cakes. One is hard to decide upon!
First of all, I want my own pancake cake too. Alvaro had his first one already. I probably want an ice cream one. Or a coffee-mascarpone one, that’s totally carnivore from my viewpoint or carnivore-ish if vanilla and coffee bothers someone, still great to me. I even will use butter and not coconut oil Oh well, I want both! But my pancakes are so big and thin, I would need too many to get a decent sized TALL cake. My cakes are always super flat… I could cut them into half or more but I want a ROUND cake. Mom always made rectangular ones and I like round cakes. Maybe I should start to experiment with thick pancakes, not our crepe-like things… I pretty much lost my interest in food making lately but it will come back for sure.
And this solves my cake dough problems. I love pancakes already.
Of course I should make a savory cake too… Maybe a tuna one. I don’t even remember when I ate fish the last time, it was super long ago.
It’s very possible I won’t want anything dessert-like on that week let alone the day anyway.
I think I make a birthday week and eat whatever I really want (except too expensive things but that’s not a serious limitation)… Is there something especially great to do with pork (or beef) I wonder? That I can do myself. I can’t make steaks, for example.
It’s on the 25th so I have too much time, I better forget it now.

So, day 1 with the contraption hosiery. Took 25 minutes to get one leg on. Thank the Lord that it wasn’t an early morning shift! I’d have been late. Weirdest damn things I’ve ever worn. Open toe, all the way up the thigh, has a velcro strap that goes around the waist (crotch area is open, hence one wears their undies OVER the hosiery.) Had a grove about half inch deep around my waist from the velcro belt. The hose kept bunching up around my thigh right where the worst part of the vein is. Felt like constant pressure being applied to a bruise. 9 hour shift, kept running to the ladies room to adjust the hose. And…gotta do it today also. Got the weekend off, I work Monday, then off until July 6.
Ill need a vacation after today.
Eats were good yesterday. Nothing until around 530 pm. Had 3 beef sticks, 2 cheese sticks. Got home around 10, ate half a pound of ground beef with bleu cheese melted in there.
Enjoying a leisurely morning with doggie. Collected eggs from my girls. Captured a couple loose baby turkeys. Strolled through the garden plucking weeds. Going to tidy up the kitchen, wash the linens, and do some exercises. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
