Romain cups with chicken liver pate, some with ground beef. Cherry tomatos and Buffalo Mozzarella…
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
That’s really beautiful plate @Hardrock_keto_chick!
UP TOP, GIRL!
Now, we’re talking.
Those are pretty cool, BTW. I’ve never seen anything like them.
@Jody2 not easy to find, sometimes seasonal around holidays, probably available because of Easter.
Nice.
Well today was the longest that I’ve fasted. It’s 3:20 PM Eastern standard time and I am just about to eat. I made some coconut keto bread last night which isn’t that bad a little dense but not bad. So I’m having eggs salad with bacon and some cucumbers and a little bit of chocolate mousse.
A late brunch. Exhausted from six flags yesterday! Going with a two and 4 year old is just so much trouble. Especially my little 2 year old girl who is more wild than a pack of boars. She takes after me, I’m afraid. My parents told me I was super difficult to control as a toddler. I once climbed some temple in Mexico and could’ve easily fallen to my death. A teenage boy climbed up to retrieve me. My mother gave me the curse- May you have children who are as difficult as you! Let’s just say I’m not taking my girl near any sacrificial temple ruins.
Probably not funny to you but this was funny. My girls were very independent and that drove us crazy. Now at 21yo and 26yo it is a blessing. Weird that way.
Hot and Sour Soup
I usually skip lunch but the boy was hungry so I whipped this up from chicken stock, a few Chinese pork meatballs, and some of my Paò Caí and an egg. Little soy sauce and sesame oil and voila, Sichuan Hot and Sour Soup.
Went to York today for a birthday treat for S. (He’ll be 8 tomorrow). Had lunch while we were there.
Managed to navigate to Ed’s Diner on the basis that I’d be able to get burgers. Ordered one that had 2 burgers, double bacon and double cheese, with no bun, no salad (yuck!) and no sauce. Waiter didn’t even bat an eyelid!
Had already eaten the (well overcooked) bacon from top when I thought about photo.
This is why I never made one. Sort of like getting a tattoo. Couldn’t decide on the permanence. Then, too much time went by. So, I’m a lima bean K.
I don’t know if convert is the right word. But the last time I had sprouts I think I spit them out and I didn’t do that. They were okay. Nice and salty. I think they would be better fried in bacon grease or something though.
Dry rub bbq Pork ribs and greens (cooked in all the juices and spices from the ribs slow cooking for several hours on low before being introduced to the bbq)
And strawberry shortcake (local strawberries… sooooo good. Shortcake biscuts from alldayidreamaboutfood website)
What recipe did you use? That looks amazing and I have some pork belly in the freezer waiting to become bacon.
Oven roasted with bacon grease and salt, garlic powder and lemon juice after they’re done while hot so the sprouts suck in the lemon juice. Cut them in half before roasting cut side down.

Since this was our first (a friend and my oldest daughter) so we took our times to get it right. We started with 9 lbs of frozen Pork Belly and thawed it a few days in the fridge.
I followed this site exactly in terms of curing the meat: https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/salting-brining-curing-and-injecting/science-curing-meats-safely
Recipe #1 from this page: https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/pork-recipes/how-make-smoked-bacon-home
I have an electric smoker and use a pellet tube ( https://www.amazon.com/Maze-N-Pellet-Prefilled-Pitmasters-Pellets/dp/B01MT6GMT4/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_86_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1401RQZNEJWT4EC08FVF)
25% Hickory 75% Applewood
cured 5.5 days (it was 2" thick at the thickest). Dried overnight in the fridge. About 3.5 hrs at 225F to internal temp of 160F.
It turned out to be pretty easy. We will do this again and again.
Bacon and eggs for breakfast! Made keto snickerdoodles (2 carbs a cookie), then fried chicken for the first time in my life. Turned out great! I used breasts because that’s what I had. Pounded up some pork rinds (never had a pork rind before) it was very crispy! I will make it again with dark meat soon. I have tons leftover!
