Nutritionally, kind of an ugh weekend. And, apparently, nearly a lost one - perhaps that's related. In any event, I can't remember whether it was Friday or Saturday that I got the munchies for carbs, sort of, and ended up with Grandma Smith's chile (made it with way too much onion!) for dinner, followed by a bag of microwave popcorn covered with ersatz butter-flavored stuff. I think that was Saturday, which means that on Friday I had Mexican for dinner - cheese enchiladas smothered in green chile. Phew - I hate it when I can't remember things.
Yesterday was better - I woke up with the taste of onions in my mouth (definitely had the chile on Saturday) and skipped breakfast because I couldn't think of anything that would make that taste go away. Had 3 hotdogs for lunch, and various bits of cheese or nuts as snacks. Fed Mom and Dad for dinner, which was flank steak with a red wine/stock reduction sauce, butternut squash with blue cheese and pecans, a salad, and some experimental gluten free amaretto cheese cake for dessert. The experiment was a success - ground almonds, sugar (only a little) and butter make a perfectly acceptable cheesecake crust, and the cheesecake recipe (which I reduced the sugar component of, and had some cornstarch in it) was really good. I have a leftover piece that will be part of my dinner tonight, probably along with leftover flank steak and maybe some leftover turkey.
I am at 148.0 this morning - no surprise after some of that eating, and also no surprise given cyclical events. I'm fasting today because I woke up with a stomach that basically told me not to eat - and I've learned to listen.
One other thing - apparently my rather snotty excursus on the salt water about a week ago has caused at least my parents to re-think it; it sounds like they probably won't be re-ordering it, I'm glad to hear.
