...not a fan of caramel...

That suddenly reminded me how much I miss real deal pecan pie.

For reference a slice (1/8 of a 9"pie) is;

Calories 503

Fat 27.08g

Carbs 63.68g

Protein 5.98g

I'm going to be missing it for a long time!

chocolate Peanut Butter and strawberry oatmeal and coffee, ice coffee and Italian bread with red lentil “ragu”. Dessert was another slice of Italian bread with a glob of peanut butter.

Go the peanut paste. My s-i-l had a go at me (with a smile) cause apparently I taught one of my nieces how to eat peanut paste out of the jar by the spoonful & they showed the other children. And now every time she goes to get some peanut paste the jar is empty. I don’t think it was me. I wouldn’t do that (pretending to look all innocent ). lol!

297 calories for the plate, ate it all.

Hello I had my vsg 11/13/23 and I need to learn simple recepies

[ms.sss 14,704]

went to a late night Izakaya joint last night (a Japanese bar and tapas place)

1. octopus crudo with nori strips

(ate 1: a snall spoonful of octopus put in a strip and eaten like a micro-taco)

2. steak tartare with crostini

(ate a HEAPING spoonful of tartare on 1/2 a crostini)

3. grilled white miso salmon with rapini

(ate ALL the greens and ALMOST all the salmon..my dinner companions had some to taste, i ate the rest)

estimated 375 calories for what i ate, but that seems a little low, so imma gonna pad that up to 500 for the unknown ingredients i inevitably missed.

oh, and i also had 3 gin and sodas, so tack on another 300 cals...

so total would be 800 calories for the evening. adds up, huh?

there was more items on the table that i didn't try (boo) because i made the rookie mistake of drinking mid-meal (double boo)

my sister-in-law's sister half-jokingly accuses me of trying to fat everyone up around me so i look skinny

After deciding my girlfriends & I would go to lunch this weekend, I said why don’t you just come here. Me & my big mouth. Decided to make a savoury zucchini tart which has Boursin cheese as its base. Of course can’t find the cheese anywhere but I found a recipe & made my own. Easy to make. 8ozs Cream cheese, garlic, various herbs (fresh & dried) & 4ozs of butter!! Yep it’s 1/3 butter. Worse it’s finger licking, lick the spoon & go back for more delicious. I’ll post a pxt of the tart, if I remember, when I make it Sunday.

yesterday's snack and dinner.

SNACK: nuts and hershey's kisses (i blame the kisses on the poster who mentioned them last week...couldn't get them out of my mind so had to buy them of course!). Ate it all: 366 calories

DINNER: Mr. grilled me up a big ol ribeye at my request! kinda anti-climactic for the actual portion i ate, but still. it was effing delicious...plus there is still leftover i can eat today! 309 calories for my plate, ate it all.

including the steak in its entirety below (second pic)

Twinning! I had steak this week too & was looking forward to it but I overcooked it. Got distracted and … It wasn’t its usual tender juicy goodness. So disappointed. And I made caramelised onions this morning (for the second tart I’m making). Been using my new Kitchen Aid food processor for my prep. I love it. Plus I got it on sale so yay!
