Cream of Asparagus Soup and coleslaw with grilled chicken breast.
Just one more service I offer. 
Last night: a chicken cordon bleu panini, tater tots, two glasses of Truth IPA and some ice water. Later, some homemade cookies (see: A kickass ginger snaps recipe) and a glass of milk.
My usual oatmeal for breakfast and leftover chicken korma (which I made last night) for lunch.
I took a piece of tuna out of the freezer yesterday and I plan on cooking it up for supper. I know people like tuna seared and raw in the middle but I don’t like eating raw meat. So I sear it in a frying pan (after giving it a spice rub) and then put if in a low heat oven to cook through.
Slices of a fresh loaf of sourdough, some buttered, some augmented by a pair of soft boiled eggs.
Dessert was this strawberry banana “pearls” thing that’s kinda like a sherbet version of Dippin’ Dots (anyone remember those?) that’s an unusual combination of cheap and tasty, while being vaguely healthy.
We had Tuna & Mango Ceviche, which was delicious. Iced vodka to drink.
The “Shoe is craving red meat” special:
Lil’ sirloin bit, marinaded in Worshershersher.
Quartered baby potatoes, and a mess of sauteed onions. Some garlic got involved.
Yum. Add some cilantro and onion, and I’m DONE.
Yes, there is cilantro, minced onion and jalapeños, lime juice, etc.
Thanks to getting a molar yanked on Tuesday, I have been on a quest for soft, non-threatening foods. The bad news is I’m getting sick of a semi-liquid diet and am finally transitioning to soft-ish solid foods. The good news is I re-discovered the pleasures of good yogurt. I bought a big tub of cherry yogurt that day, which claimed to be all-natural with no sugar added, and it was absolutely delicious! Today they were offering a discount on three so I got two more cherry and one peach – these are large tubs so the fridge is now filled with yogurt!
Dinner tonight will be one or two tuna salad sandwiches with tomato soup (something about tuna salad sammies and tomato soup is just so perfect) and, of course, yogurt! Tomorrow I’m ramping up food hardness to beans and potato salad with maybe a few strips of Buffalo chicken. A few more days and it’s jerk pork chops on the BBQ!
I’m going to do blackened yellowfin tacos with cojita and slaw.
Last night was leftover vegetable soup from the freezer. It was great. But the real story was dessert. My gf made brownies, but she replaced the fat (oil) with mashed bananas (it’s a thing). She then added shredded coconut. It was too dry, so she thawed some shredded zucchini and added that. And chocolate bits. And walnuts.
It turned out kinda like a dense cake. It was very good, with the coconut/banana taste shining through.
Beef bacon stew, from The Essential Keto Cookbook.
Roasting a whole chicken atop lil’ potatoes, sliced onions, carrots, and thick slices of crusty oil-drizzled bread. Man, I cannot WAIT to dig in!
OMG can you outline the basics? Plz n thx?
I like beef; I like beef stew; I like bacon. Is it just making beef stew and then sprinkling bacon pieces on top, or is there more to it?
Add carrots, green beans and two pounds of stew meat to 8-12 cups of water and broth. Bring to a boil. Add gelatin (optional) and spices and mix well. Simmer one to two hours. When the vegetables are soft, add a half pound of cooked and diced bacon. Simmer 5-10 minutes more.
An experimental dish I’ve decided to call mishmash chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli casserole. Cupcake in a jar for dessert. Best dinner I’ve had in a minute.
Ate at a Caribbean-style restaurant: broiled citrus-marinated steak, rice, black beans, yuca frita, tostones, and guasacaca.And a big mojito. The food was very good, except that the beans and the rice were unpleasantly salty.
A buddy gifted me a container of home-smoked pulled pork, so some went into a fusion quesadilla for dinner.
Last night was pork roast chilli. Tonight I think we will get something from a local restaurant, possibly pizza!
Roasted rosemary chicken breasts served with potato cubes from the air fryer. But the star of the evening was Old Fashions. A friend gave me a gift basket with everything needed to construct Old Fashions.
Angel hair pasta with chunks of Italian sausage in cream sauce, with lots of parmesan. Toasted ciabatta slices rubbed with garlic.
Onion rings. Broccoli with butter. Powerade.
