I spent the better part of an hour concocting what sounded like an awesome soup, Chinese style. When it was done, I tasted it, and it was pretty much, "Meh". I couldn't eat it, didn't want it, and ended up throwing it away. One of the downsides of ketosis *for me* is that the mere act of cooking seems to satiate my appetite.
They say that you eat with your eyes first. It seems like I eat with my eyes *only*.
So, now it feels like I have to continue my journey eating out, or I'll just stop eating. The big problem with that is that I live in "Da Souf", and everything is Southern Fried something-or-other. Still working out the balance here.
On another note, I had found some great peeled garlic in a bag in the refrigerated section of one of the stores I frequent. It's a great go-to for meal prep, especially with my Pampered Chef garlic slicer. But I forgot where I got it last time, and haven't been able to find it for over a month. So this week, I visited our new (giant!) Sam's Club, and I found the garlic again. Woohoo! Unfortunately, it came in only a 3 lb bag. That's a s##tload of fresh garlic, my friends! And even in the refrigerator, it's not going to last very long. I researched, and found that it can be frozen, so I spent the afternoon portioning it into snack bags of 6-10 cloves, then vacuum sealing multiple bags for the freezer. It will be interesting to see how they fare.
The main reason I went to Sam's was to get a side of fresh salmon. The ex (who recently replaced my headlights at his own expense) really loves my way of making cured salmon (Lox). So to repay him for his act of kindness, I decided to make him a big batch. It has one more day in the fridge, then it will be ready to slice and give to him.
It's hard to believe that the year is speeding to a close. The holidays are upon us, pumpkin spice every-f##king-thing is everywhere, and I just now got used to writing 2017 on my documents! Is it just me???
Have a great weekend, my friends.
