Hello again. Life is rumbling along. This morning we are off to the hospital for him to have foot surgery. He has a cyst/bulge/bunion/something on the side of his foot that has been bothering him for some time. It makes the dancing painful. Weirdly enough his middle brother had the same thing a few years ago. So today, I am packed up for hurry-up-and-wait day. I've got counted-cross stitch ornament, journal, sketching journal and pencils, my Kindle, I am ready for sitting and waiting. We have to be there at 9:15 and surgery is 11:30. They also said it will be a 4-6 hour surgery! What the heck. I also packed a lunch and a few munchies for me to make it through the day. He said he will be ready to eat a bear when done but who knows. I'm expecting to be out about dinner time and I'm also ready to cook.
FYI, I am down 11 pounds today! That is pretty exciting. I've been stuck at 10 pounds for nearly 2 weeks but suddenly the scale shifted. I've really, REALLY been trying to be dedicated to what I am eating and it's been pretty easy.
Last week I cooked a pork butt in the crock pot and we got three meals out of it, with one of the meals with three other people. It was $10 and stretched nicely. I made pulled pork over mashed cauliflower which was so tasty. He loved it. A couple days later I made pozole verde for 5, another home run. The Friday evening I made pork and cheese quesadillas. The verde part of the last two meals was my favorite find of Herdez Salsa Verde! OMG, my new favorite salsa.
I used it in the pozole and to dip the quesadillas in.
Last night I had shrimp, a half package of grape tomatoes, "j"arlic, 2 sad stalks of celery, 1/4 cup of white wine, salt & pepper. I served it over mashed riced cauliflower with lemon, adding a splash of cream and butter, S&P. OMG, this was tasty too. So, this low carb thing is really working.
