diet starting today

[sonya123]

week 37 day 5

Need to use up some older package of ground beef I got at the Aldi, not sure why. I usually just use our ground goat or lamb or get beef at the meat processor. It's organic too. Might have been on sale
So either some sort of pasta or cabbage casserole type dish
haven't decided yet

 

[sonya123]

ended up making stuffed cabbage soup, made this before and it was good. Also baking an apple cake
I try to mostly combine baking bread or cake with soup or stew, it goes well
especially in this weather

 

[Amish Heart]

I wish my husband would like soup or stew more, but he doesn't, so I don't end up making it often. I do like apple cake, and make that often.

week 37 day 6

I thought that place went under when the covid was going on?
Ours here closed down
We used to go to one in Orlando while we were in college and would sit there all afternoon and eat while studying. Back then we could eat a lot and not get overweight . I actually liked some of their food . But this was in the early 90s. Quality went down later on and we stopped going there

almost let the day get away with me...but i didnt...went and tested the little fishing combo i got last year that i hated and put the new line on this winter and it functioned pretty good...good enough to test fish with it and see if its worth a darn...then i went and hiked !

i got outside and done something awesome like survival russia guy says to do !!

 

[RATPACKER]

I got this .
After all, I’ve been doing my own stunts, however never intentionally.
I’ve been my own professional stunt double for 54 years.

week 38 day 3

today I am making Japanese food. Not sushi since I just did that recently but teriyaki salmon. Never made this before but going to try, plus rice, stir fry veg and miso soup . I am going to need to cook son's salmon when he gets home so he doesn't have to heat up stinky fish in the microwave, nothing worse than that smell! But salmon doesn't need long to fry

 

[elkhound]

well...it was a rough day today.....was about to get away from me but i was able to go hike right at dark....no wildlife.

i tell ya what..today...i had to peddle my ass off to get any sunshine out of me....only could get a 40 watt light bulbs worth till end of day.

 

[Amish Heart]

No complaining. I survived the dentist.

 

[Pearl]

You are all AWESOME!!

 

[sonya123]

week 38 day 4

the salmon yesterday was surprisingly good. I generally don't like fish all that much, but if you add the teriyaki sauce it was fine. I also had salmon left over so I am going to make that into sushi today. Just a small amount, a few pieces each. Plus Phad Thai with the leftover tofu from the miso soup which also turned out so much better than from a package

Did take Otto for a short hike yesterday, there are still branches from the ice storm all over the path

 

[elkhound]

peddled my ass off again today to get any light out of me...i pushed and pushed...just not feeling it...not feeling so well to be honest...but i pushed...tried to go fishing...that was a bust sorta...but did find location of chunk of new land with over 8 miles of trail....so i came home and then late in day i just got in 1.5 miles...went to another new place..its all level...i like something up and down or steep...its ok place though...i think i managed to be a 2cell flash light today....i will peddle lifes bicycle again tomorrow....full effort...come rain,shine or nukes....lol...peddle faster elk !

i may need to fast a day or three.

I started to take Otto for a hike but it was so windy, the trees were squeaking and bending so I turned back around...

having oatmeal for evening snack, with banana and apple.

I don't like being in the woods when it's windy either!!

 

[sonya123]

I don't like being in the woods when it's windy either!!

it's worse after the ice storm. There are still broken trees waiting to fall down any day now

 

[elkhound]

i was forcing myself to do things i like so much yesterday so while i hiked i was snapping pictures along the way....look at this cool old tree all broken down and huge portion gone...but its still holding on for dear life and has all that growth on top.....!

I love looking at the trees while in the woods!! It's neat how some grow together if trunks or limbs touch.

week 38 day 5

today I haven't decided yet what I am making, either cauliflower, pork chops and potatoes, or zuccine casserole. Depends on which fresh veg looks like it needs to be used up first

 

[elkhound]

hey elk were you a ray of sunshine today? boyhowdy was i....i not only was a ray i was full blown powered by nuke reactor....my pores were shooting out sunshine even !!

after everything was done i headed out at 10a.m. on a trip to a friends general store i not been to since c-19 thing...i think...possibly once but its been awhile....the professor went with me.....we went the slow route to china and crossed the forest..i stopped and showed him a short cut to get into some wilderness area.....done what we went to do and headed back home...it was 115 mile trip...my leg done very well no cramps or tremors from driving so much...it was a good day i tell ya....we seen all kinds of cool stuff...the best was 1 coopers hawk,4 redtails...2 were sitting on branch together so i guess they are pairing up already to mate and 1 kestrel. ..coming back we got to point where the pair were at and a redtail was flying along with us making a big racket squawking real loud....lol

got home about 4.30pm and unloaded stuff and grabbed my gear and hit the road and went hiked my regular hike...my but was dragging though by time i got back to truck...oh..i was fasting all day and that made me feel so much better too..no wildlife on hike though...but i did see a heard of 10 deer laying in a field a short ways from trail.

stopped in middle of forest to see old hunter i know who has lost his wife years ago..but lost his son my age and daughter a bit older than me 2 years ago just months apart....he will be or is 86...i could see he been out cutting and clearing up some of his land...tough old hound hunter.

thank you lord for a great day...i peddled my ass off and it was great !
