It's the last Saturday of April, what's your plans?
on 4/27/24 12:45 am - Amarillo, TX
Good mornin menu friends!
My appointment went well yesterday and I've started fluconazole for the thrush. After only one day it's better. I had a tiny avocado for a snack with my pills and it didn't burn me alive, 2 days ago I tried a bite of smushed avocado and I might as well of been eating a habanero. So this makes me happy. On the way to healing. My stomach is still way off but this med should help too. I even tried some pulverized ham yesterday and that was a no go. I bet I will be able to tomorrow or late today. Wooot!
Today TWs watch the kids for 5 hours and I'm ok with it as I miss them. Randall is the sweetest kid , Riley is a stubborn mule and she comes by it honestly. She is just like my grandma that it's insane. Rachel is pretty chill and a nerd(I adore this about her as a fellow nerd). I love this kids and I don't think I could love em anymore than I do. They sure aren't perfect but who the hell is?
QOTD: For coffee and tea drinkers...or even flavored water...whatever floats your boat...what is your ideal cuppa?
I adore Frappuccinos but I haven't had one in 6+ years. I adore cold brew though. My favorite is plain coffee, usually medium roast, a little bit of the skinny salted caramel sauce that's zero calories, sugar free Italian style creamer and hopefully some whipped cream if I have it, during the winter I adore peppermint coffee, not peppermint bark..just peppermint. With mint whipped cream!
Food is just meh. Not a lot of exciting food when you can't chew lol
Good morning ~ I love the meme! Enjoy hanging with the kiddos today. Yesterday was a great day, got all the things done at work, lovely lunch catching up with a friend and a nice relaxing evening at home. It was cold and windy so we had a fire an watched our favorite Frasier re-runs. Today we going on a hike with little girl, taking a TON of cardboard to recycle and organizing the garage. I keep saying I'm going to purge a ton things and I don't quite do it but today should be cut throat. Tonight we are going to BBQ for dinner and watch a Coen bros movie of Rob's choice.
QOTD - I love SB Pike Place coffee w/skinny salted caramel sauce and half and half. I also love salted caramel tea, plain black tea and chai also - all sweet w/half and half. I usually have a cup of something in the evening.
Accountability - I had a fun sized snickers and peanut m&m's and a big handful of potato chip just because they were there. I have avoided this for the most part and I have alternatives on hand. Not a huge blow - move on. 178.2 today.
B- coffee, yogurt and protein granola
l - turkey and cheese sandwich on protein bread
d- BBQ chicken thighs, 1/2 sm baked potato and 1/2 cob of grilled corn
Have a great day!

Mornin' All!
I've heard we've got some severe weather coming this afternoon or this evening, which explains the massive headache I woke up with (it's gone now - thanks to caffeine and Tylenol!). My cookbook club is meeting today, but I'm not going. I haven't been in two months, although I miss it. My life has been too out-of-control lately to focus on getting a cookbook read and then making something from it. The book they're doing today is "Salt Fat Acid Heat" which actually entails a lot more reading than most cookbooks, since the focus on what different components in the title do rather than recipes (not many recipes in there). What I've read so far is pretty interesting, though, so at least I'll finish reading the book at some point.
I need to spend an hour cleaning and/or purging today since I promised myself I'd do this every day, even though I've slacked off the last two days. But I'm on it today! I also plan to finish reading a book for one of my book discussion groups that meets on Monday morning.
QOTD: a medium roast with a couple tablespoons of half & half (I don't like anything sweet in my coffee - unless it's one of those cold/iced coffee concoctions. But a regular cup of hot coffee, no. I can't stand sweeteners of any kind in it).
B: I might make protein oatmeal and put some L&F creme brûlée yogurt on top of it. Haven't had that meal in probably a year (in fact I'd forgotten about it!). Coffee with half & half
L: matzo ball soup and some kind of protein
AS: protein shake or protein pudding
D: roasted vegetables with peanut sauce and some kind of protein
have a great weekend, everyone!

Good morning Mel and menu friends!
Sounds like things are moving in a marginally good direction! Hopefully you can eat better today. Glad you were able to get some help at the doctor.
It's Saturday! I finished up at OTF and am at the dealership now for service. My 12 year old car has 205k miles on it. What a trooper. They're also checking my tire since I had a tire pressure warning again today. Better than the flat the other weekend. If they can't reconcile, I'll head to the tire place next.
QOTD- Unadulterated, whole leaf brewed teas are my absolute favorite. I can do some with mild flavorings like a good Earl Grey or ginger peach but I'm a purist during fancy times. Never add sugar. Brr.
Meals today will include Xacuti masala leftovers, cilbir, maybe make dal palak, and I should make maafe for meals this week. Bonus yogurt and maybe a protein bar.
Cheers, everyone.
