Lenten fast, Days 25 & 26.
Mar. 27th, 2017 09:18 amSaturday
Sleep: awful. I had something in my eye & I could NOT get it out. Didn't get to sleep until almost 2 AM. Up around 6:30 AM.
Breakfast: made shakshuka. While chopping the onions, my eyes started watering & got the eyelash out of my eye. Ahhh, blessed relief. I ate shakshuka (two eggs' worth) over reheated spaghetti squash, 2 slices of bacon, & 2 cups of coffee. I think I will next try shakshuka over a mixture of red potatoes & spinach. Maybe with mushrooms.
Exercise: working in the yard, raking gravel, pulling weeds, cleaning up leaves, etc.
Lunch: leftovers EXTRAVAGANZA. Tuna salad, Asian cauli-rice, & the last of the lamb meatballs on more spaghetti squash. I may not be doing great on veggie variety, but I am crushing veggie quantities.
Went grocery shopping & started up the slow cooker with Balsamic Beef with Rosemary.
Dinner: spring roll & pho at Pho Real in Littleton. Not Whole30 because of the rice wrapper & noodles, but still - lean meat, bone broth, fresh veggies. It was a nice low-key date night with HPG.
Sunday
Sleep: decent.
Breakfast: went out to Breakfast King. Coffee, two scrambled eggs, link sausage, half an avocado, & skillet potatoes. Eh meal.
Exercise: more yard work, planting stuff before the rain started.
Lunch: Balsamic beef over spaghetti squash & spinach. Eh. The beef is surprisingly tasteless & I put too much arrowroot powder in the sauce when I was thickening it, giving the whole dish an unappealing gelatinous texture.
Snack: bag of donuts. FAIL.
Dinner: N* & R* had us over for dinner to try out their new 50,000-BTU outdoor wok. They made a delicious Thai red curry (chicken, several kinds of peppers, bamboo shoots, pea pods, coconut-based red curry). It was HOT! Served over rice (non-Whole30). Then we played Cards Against Humanity - N* poured me a bourbon without asking (he's my Scotch-drinking buddy) & I drank about two sips of it.
