You either love this or hate this. There seems to be no in-between. "Pommes Mayo-Curry" (French fries out of the oven with vegan mayo and curry powder):

I love any French fry that doesn’t involve ketchup…. Or ranch. I’m sure I’d love these!

And here it is. I got a little distracted (scrolling the sales 😆) & I cooked the steak more medium than the med rare I prefer. I didn’t eat all of it. May end up with enough for 4 meals. The broccolini heads are separate because they’ve started to cause me a little trouble so I now eat them separately so I can be more careful.

Most people I know hate this. "Pommes Mayo-Curry" was quite popular at a small takeaway I used to go sometimes before moving some years ago.

Also the "Pommesbrötchen" was very popular. A white roll stuffed with french fries, mayo and ketchup. A combination that makes most people running away as I have learned, lol.

I have to make that someday but you need the right rolls for it. Also the "Currywurst spezial" (I posted some pictures of that already) - I sometimes imitate that with a vegan Bratwurst.

Went to a Mexican restaurant by myself yesterday. It’s weird having actual days off and trying to fully my day with stuff to do.

Anyway, I present to you this monstrosity! 😂 I totally took home leftovers and actually ate some of them for dinner.

my household loves bacon. and chocolate. so...i made candied bacon brownies! baked them in a muffin pan cuz everyone always fights over the outer/corner pieces...this way, every brownie has the crunchy edge.

(we also love cheese, but maybe i'll save that combination for another time lol).

clockwise from top left:

- Crispy bacon stuffed w/ candied bacon topping: 183 cals each

- Chocolate almond stuffed w/ candied bacon topping: 173 cals each

- Plain: 133 cals each

- Chocolate almond stuffed: 153 cals each

Haven't had one yet (i just ate dinner) and its going to be too late to eat one later so i staked my claim on one of the bacon bacon ones and will enjoy it tomorrow...yum, can't wait!

A vegan burger I got from Penny (Food for Future brand). It's ok but of course no gourmet food. Pimped it with raw red onions and some pickled cucumbers. I didn't have tomatoes or salad, unfortunately.

More food for Future haul from Penny. Mock kebab. Best one I've ever had so far. Put it in the oven together with some zucchini and orange bell pepper that had to go. Put it on a roll with ketchup and curry powder.

Hopefully that mock kebab will be a staple product at Penny. As I said above: best one so far.

445 calories for a (very late) first meal of the day: prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe with some truffle cheddar.

Meals prepped yesterday for today- salad (the one without egg is for my oldest) and teriyaki chicken and veggies with rice.

Also, a bonus picture of the Pasta salad with turkey pepperoni the kids had for dinner.

Balsamic marinated lamb back strap. Another one of my who needs to follow the recipe dishes. I’m pretty sure I more than doubled the balsamic vinegar - just kept pouring u til I thought that looks about enough & smells good. It was for lamb chops & also said grill but I baked in the oven. Should get 5 meals from this so a couple will go in the freezer.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
