#whole30 WholeLent, Day 28.
Mar. 17th, 2015 09:30 pmSleep: pretty good. I forgot to drag Shadeaux's Cozy Cave into the bedroom before going to sleep, & once I realized, I was too stubborn/lazy to get up & move it. She was very sad to not be sleeping in the den/bedroom with the rest of her pack, & kept coming in to check on us. Around 5 AM, I relented & let her into the bed. She curled up against me, sighed deeply, & we all slept like spoons until about 7 AM.
Breakfast: prosciutto muffin, slice of sweet potato quiche, half an avocado, blackberries, half a grapefruit, black Constant Comment tea.
I pulled a batch of barnyard bone broth out of the slow cooker - it's pretty good. I used the garlic spice mix from Wildtree.
Lunch: monkey salad. Yeah, not a balanced meal.
Dinner: I found this recipe for Sweet Potato Waffle BLTs a while ago & thought it looked like sex on a plate. So I made it last night - & was greatly disappointed. Not only was it an immense pain in the ass to make, but the waffles were greasy, had no body (duh, no gluten), & didn't even really taste like sweet potato. The batter was so greasy & runny, I ended up making pancakes instead of waffles. So the expectations I had from the food blog photos were definitely not met:

Food blog fantasy....

....my kitchen reality.
While I was disappointed in how my sandwiches turned out, they weren't awful. They were an acceptable dinner in any case. But it took two runs of the dishwasher & an hour of cleaning to re-set the kitchen, so I don't imagine I'll be making Waffle BLATs again any time soon.
