Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)

[Chauncey Gardiner]

It just seems like the thing to do. And if all goes well I might be able to see my toes again.


A table spoon of fake crab meat salad, some fake bacon bits, a few salad shrimp to go with the rabbit food and sunflower seeds.

I've been telling myself it's time to start exercising ... just 15 minutes a day will be a great start. Just do it. I don't have an excuse not to.

I've been telling myself it's time to start exercising ... just 15 minutes a day will be a great start. Just do it. I don't have an excuse not to.

I was appalled at how much strength I lost in three years of relative inactivity.
I retired, due to the pandemic, and then stayed inactive as my hip continued to deteriorate.

I went back to work, had my hip replaced, and finally got my dead butt to the gym. I only go for 20-30 minutes twice a week, but it has made a significant improvement.

Your health can decline in what seems like 2 shakes of a lambs tail. Can't say the little salad is performing miracles but my trousers have begun to fit a little better after a month.
The aching body parts @Poppy sure do keep you from moving about. So far I'm all original equipment. So like you @Chauncey Gardiner I'm making a point to just put in a little time excersizing a few times a week.
I used to walk circles around Mrs Fixer. Now she waits for me.

not including alcohol, only three things have calories.


carbohydrates~ which included all grains / starches & all the types of sugars (80% of everything in stores, sadly)
fats~ which you actually need
protein~ by far the most important and you can get from many different sources

= If you stop eating carbohydrates entirely, your body will adapt & burn fat as fuel..
you'll drop weight so fast your head will spin

Fats & proteins my friends

I enjoyed this chicken in cream sauce so much I made it again last night.
I didn't have any shallots so I thin sliced an onion.
Also instead of using the litany of spices, I used a pre-mixed one.

After rubbing the seasoning onto the chicken and frying it in olive oil, I put it on a plate.
I then sauteed the onion and garlic in the same pan, that was deglazed with some white wine, instead of chicken stock. I then added some heavy cream, and a minute or two later returned the chicken. A squirt of half a lemon, and it was ready to be served, on a bed of rice.

Well fill us in bro.....

 

[raggie33]

Just a red pepper dehydrated and ground up

The only paprika I have in the house is smoked.

I thought it was only for coloring. When smoked it has extra flavor.

Our youngest son practicing his Jedi stirring skills.

Ground beef, macaroni, sweet red and yellow peppers, bread crumbs, tomato sauce, and cheese.

Baked to perfection.

I've seen a few episodes of "All Up In My Grill" and was inspired to grill some tomatoes.

Looks like I'm joining this thread a bit late...

but I *love* fresh baked bread, straight out of the bread machine and real butter. Or some balsamic vinegar with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

I never planned on having a bread machine at home, but one day at the thrift shop I spotted a Zojirushi bread machine. Opened it up and it had never been used. $20. Same machine sells on Amazon for $320 currently. I bought it thinking I'd just try it once and dump it on eBay... that was 10 years ago and it still hasn't appeared on eBay yet.


@Poppy : Fun fact: Cher hates Kendall Jackson wine.

Perhaps Cher is a Yoga person.
