I had a great, lazy weekend. My weekends are Sun-Mon, so today is back to work day for me.
Yesterday, I decided to experiment in the kitchen. I'd been seeing all kinds of rave reviews about Fat Head pizza, but was skeptical about it, as a lot of other low-carb, highly rated substitutes have been a major disappointment. Cauliflower rice is nothing like rice, roast radishes do not fool the mouth into thinking it's potatoes, and 'cloud bread' is just an eggy souffle.
But Fat Head pizza...oh glorious day! A big yes on all fronts. The crust certainly won't fool you into thinking you're eating a 'real', yeasty, crunchy, doughy crust, but as a vehicle for toppings, it's great, and the extra cheese flavor only adds to the enjoyment. I only had 2 small squares of it, because what I really wanted was a shrimp cocktail. I had gotten a half pound of big shrimp on Saturday, and they were calling my name. But when I went to make the cocktail sauce, I discovered that I was out of horseradish. I remembered, though, that I had a tube of prepared wasabi, so I substituted that. I didn't taste it before adding it to the 1-carb ketchup, and added a good dollop. YIKES! Unlike the powdered wasabi I've used, this stuff packs a wallop! Not only did the first bite clear my sinuses right out, but it has some real heat in the mouth and throat. My eyes watered like crazy! It tasted really good, but of the 2 Tbs. of sauce that I made, I ended up only eating maybe 1/2 tsp for 11 shrimp. Wowza!
I'm off to hit the shower and get to work. My Thai client that always brings me exotic goodies is coming in, so I'm looking forward to it. I made Lox last week, and saved a good portion of it to give to her.
Have a terrific Tuesday, buddies!
