Simple Keto
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
Give that Gentlemen his prize. … Yep, usually save those for later meals, but depends on what I’m having too. So if I’m eating lunch meats or the like, they are usually there, but anytime I eat the more breakfast type foods, I usually don’t. Not sure how well they would play with the greasy goodness.
Just getting in from working in the yard all day, so they will be making their appearance here shortly.
Dinner: mixed spring greens, 2 ounces of chicken breast, Brazil nuts, and blue cheese dressing.

Day 6 and I’ve been starving every day
Meal prep Sunday! Made burgers for BFs work lunches and a ton of chicken. Turns out I think I need more baking racks so I can properly roast chicken parts. Still good though, super moist, they pretty much steamed in their own juices.
Was actually going to Fast from today’s earlier meal, but the Wife was making a few things she wanted me to try, so I just went ahead and ate something with them.
She threw together a Chicken/Ham/Broccoli Casserole, using HWC, Cream Cheese, Mozzarella and Parmesan, which was quite good indeed. Also a version Shrimp Scampi, with Pickles & Olives. … Also had some Halo Top Ice Cream and 2 squares Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate.
Seconds on the Casserole
Spent the weekend at a conference. Was a bit worried about going off keto but managed to do really well. All meals were keto. Supplemented a bit with Starbucks Americanos and heavy cream. Avoided the ridiculous piles of candy and cookies and chips and homemade treats. I’m really pleased with myself. I know that if I’d given in to the temptations I’d feel terrible and sick and bloated but instead I feel great.
For not-dinner cooking today, I made waffles. This is a lesson in how not to buy a waffle iron. When I bought it, I went to the store, looked at the waffle irons on the shelf and picked one. It was maybe $20. Who spends a lot on a waffle iron? It takes about 8 minutes to cook a single f*ing waffle. You will die of old age while cooking a batch of waffles. The bad waffle iron is the white Oster on the left. Also pictured is my Mom’s waffle iron (the silver one) which will cook a waffle in about 4-1/2 minutes. By the time I was done, the silver iron was nearly a waffle ahead. For people like me who lack patience for standing around and watching waffle irons, this is huge.
Mmmm… waffles. The white waffle maker also makes crappy waffles. They are smaller and have shallower holes. I happen to like shallow holes in my waffles, because that means you get more waffle and less air, but I realize this is a contrary opinion, re: waffles. Anyway, when they’re cool, they’re going in the freezer.
I’m not sure if they’re testing out different ordering systems but I was at a kiosk today (daughter really wanted McD after ballet) and couldn’t see any way to remove the bun. Virtually everything else about the burger was configurable but it was insistent that I was going to get a bread blanket for my beef. Is there a step I’m missing? (maybe I need glasses)
I haven’t eaten at McDonald’s for months. But my past experience suggests that they tweak these things ALL the time. What works at one visit, won’t work the next time you go. This forces you to go to the register to make your special order (where you will invariably run into the newest hire- since the register is where they put them) who will give you a blank stare and have to find someone to tell them how to put the order in, if you can convince them it’s possible. Or maybe that’s just me.
Probably not. I’m in Canada. It might very well be regional differences if more people here tend to want that option.
I’m actually at McDonald’s now having my morning Americano. Unfortunately, only the breakfast menu is up but the lunch menu has similar choices.
Lol…yup. if they have a brand new hire then the register is where they go. At least until it stops being overwhelming to them.
