Breakfast: Quick meal of eggs and peppers, makes mornings on the Whole 30 easy since eggs are simple and fast. Though just to get the veggie mass I want for the day, I added an entire green pepper and numerous smaller and hotter ones as well.
It's Saturday here, which means it is shopping day, and a great day to buy beef, and chicken and pork and I got all three. Here in lies another way in which my Whole 30 experience will depart from the typical since buying meat for me is more like stepping onto a scene in the hit-movie Alien vs Bovine (rated EBP Extreme Bovine Peril). Due to the ubiquitous bone shards scattered throughout the meat, we are fairly certain, though we have never witnessed this, that the slaughtering process involves dynamite.
Lunch: Chicken, cabbage, eggs, and a rocking cilantro clavored Thai sauce that Bethany made minus the soy sauce and peanut butter (which is forbidden... what in the world).
.................dream sequence...
Dinner: A Snickers bar, ice cream and a peanut butter birthday cake...mmm
.................dream sequence...
Dinner: Beef Barley Soup minus the barley and corn with hot peppers (I may stop mentioning this...let's just assume I'm always having a few of these), and an entire avocado which are in season now...yes... My magical spouse has once again conjured amazing food out of the thin air of Kalimpong. And as usual, having three small boys in the house, I am never more than two feet away from a "sano ghadi" small car.
I almost lost it today when... I got a text advertising buy one pizza get one free deal today at Dominos. Just so you get the picture, getting this pizza would have required 5.5 hours round trip in the car on a bumpy, monsoon struck mountain road... and I almost went. Now if a dominos opens in Kalimpong...I'm a gonner...but it's more likely that I will get my son a pet narwhal.
Glen - this is amazing. I'm rooting for you. By the way, can you have all-natural peanut butter - just peanuts and salt, no sugar? It's delish, and may qualify because of its lack of carbohydrates (3g/Tbl).
ReplyDeleteBethany - Good Luck.
I can't. Argh. One of the focuses is breaking old food habits and PB is definately a comfort/entertainment food for me so...it's out... Thanks for rooting for me man!
DeleteI still think narwhals must be some species of nordic snipe or jackalope. But anyway, nice going Glendal. I made a batch of egg muffins tonight--just eggs and meat in muffin tins. Might work well for you... if you guys have muffin tins there. The grocery store has some bulk sausage with only herbs and salt added--no nitrates, msg, etc. Anyway, here's a recipe: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Scrambled-Egg-Muffins
ReplyDeletenate, I am definitely going to try that... the sausage here hangs outside too close to the town dump and taxi stand for my comfort... but i can figure something out. the pork we had recently was really good... so that will work.
