Another sleep until 12 noon day.
Cooler weather aids in the not wanting to get out of bed syndrome. Will be windy this afternoon as more cold weather blows through here, leaving us with overnight temps in the 30s for the next couple days.
Some light rain last night too, will make traipsing around the yard muddy.
My BS was 115 this morning, which it has been running within 10 points of that since the diet. My most recent low was 96 a few days ago.
The wife drove to the big city to burn a couple of coupons; one at Walgreens, the other at the grocery store, where she picked up some more chicken breasts, bone in. She got some ground beef; a 3 pound roll of ground chuck, and a 5lb bag of wings.
I had to mix up a new batch of Hot Wing marinade. I normally use it for at least two batches of wings, adding more hot pepper sauce for the next round.
Next, I bagged and soaked the chicken breasts in lemon pepper and Italian dressing in individual bags, and popped them into the deep freeze.
Then I halved the roll of ground chuck and Vacuum sealed it, and into the freezer.
I had some stray bulk cashews and Virginia peanuts that also got vacuum sealed, and into the freezer.
I made coffee, but forgot to actually put fresh coffee grounds into the filter, so I ended up with coffee I could see through (I seem to be doing that more and more). So I wasted that effort and decided not to drink coffee today, since it was already 1:00. And, since I no longer use the Irish Cream, I do not enjoy it as much. I likely won’t take a nap anyway, given my late snooze.
I used up the last of the smoked chicken, and made some chicken salad with the last of the deviled eggs too. It came out nice. It’s good to have a variety when dieting; BBQ chicken, smoked chicken salad, and guisada…although guisada really isn’t low carb, it can be when eaten in moderation.
The wife picked up a few of the Aitkins low carb snacks too which help the after dinner sugar cravings, and still keep my BS low.
The wings went into the freezer. They will keep several months. I also added a sliced jalapeño into the Hot Wings.
I also vacuum sealed a couple boxes of Rice A Roni and some Kraft Mac and Cheese, and stashed them. The Rice A Roni was the Long Grain and Wild Rice variety, which no one eats except me. The wife says the instructions are wrong, as it is never done in the allotted time on the box…
The truth is, that that particular variety needs to be cooked for 45 minutes; not 25 on the stovetop…Wild rice by its very nature takes longer to cook…real wild rice can take as much as an hour; if one can afford it.
Tax time is upon us as well. The wife managed to get us a refund last year; hope she can do same again without an audit.
Remember the days when we could deduct credit card interest paid? good times…
P.S. the jalapeno poppers are hot as hell for the first bite, since one naturally eats the tip first; and that’s where the little bit of seeds and pith lurk, and it seems to be a characteristic of this batch. I still like it better than splitting them into halves, then patching them in hopes that they won’t leak…’cause they will.
