I just did the exact same thing. I don’t think they’d be for me. Not an offal eater. No tongue, brains, liver, kidneys, sweet breads. Nope can’t do it. Sorry [mention=143904]Tomo[/mention]
Hehehe. I understand. Here is the weird thing, I can't eat liver, kidneys, brain l, any other organ but I can the chitterlings because they aren't dry and weird tasting but I totally understand. I had a feeling i would get interesting reactions to my post. [emoji39]

about to park ourselves on the couch for a couple hours to watch a movie.

no popcorn in the pantry today so movie Snacks will be...CHEESE!

we are a household of cheese lovers and always have a bunch of different ones on hand. this snack plate has feta, sheep cheese with pistachio and a black pepper bellaVitano (my fave of the bunch)

223 calories for the plate. im sharing so not sure yet how much i'll eat.

mmmmm....cheese.

I am also not an offal eater ( had to Google it) but I love to see what people eat even if I don’t. BTW this is basically the same as entrails to me 🤣

well, ill eat anything at least once*.

i do admit i do enjoy liver (pate!), kidney (steak and kidney pie!), beef tongue (ramen!), sweetbread (any way!), and bone marrow (on toast! osso buco!)...dont know if tomalley is considered offel, but i love that stuff too!

there are other things i've tried but cant try again in the near future just cuz i cant get over the idea of it yet (i wont say for the squeamish, lol...sorry if i grossed some out already)

*Edited to add: actually, i just remembered refusing to try something once. we were at an asian night market and there were bbq'd insects for sale. we were dared to eat some sort of GIANT slug/larvae on a stick (cant remember what it was) or sing a kareoke song on the stage...needless to say my singing career was born that night 😂😂😂😂

For super hot and sour lovers only. My go to Soup if I have zero calories to spare. The whole thing is 27 cal. If you like spicy, it is really good. I often add napa cabbage in it. It has konjac noodles which have super low calories, zero carbs and are a Water soluble Fiber (great health benefits for cleaning the tummy), peanuts, red pepper spice... Etc. I buy it at Yami buy (online Asian store). It's called Kon jac spicy and sour noodles by Mingzhu.

I ate about 3/4. I can down a lot of Soup in general ... 20221115_224023.jpg.7bc428615c88bcd3e74317417e53c337.jpg

This sounds amazing and like hot and sour Soup but spicier with noodles. I make my own hot and sour soup at home when we aren’t ordering Chinese food so I’m sure I could make something similar.

dinner last night- Italian roasted cauliflower and cheesy salsa chicken. The chicken was okay, no matter how I cook it chicken always seems dry. 😞

And then the kids made gingerbread houses!

Lunch- baked salmon with sautéed mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and peppers.

And then dinner- cucumbers, tomatoes, and thinly sliced onions in red wine vinegar

3 mins for boneless thighs/legs (5 for breasts) on a trivet on high pressure in an instant pot followed by 12 mins natural release. perfect succulent chicken every single time.

(lessen the release time if you want to cook further in a sauce or if u want to broil it for a crispier outside)

outside of instant pot i rarely get the cook just right!

It was yummy. Two pieces real sourdough bread (San Francisco style, 2 oz 130 cal) with 1 oz pepperjack cheese (110 cal), 0.4 oz pepperoni (52 cal). Ate it all.

had my three girl friends over fir Christmas drinks & catch up. I always over cater & now my fridge is overflowing with leftovers. Sigh! Also have leftover bottles of champagne too which I don’t mind about. Made a baked Brie (baked with quince paste, vino cotto & served with toasted walnuts & fresh thyme). So delicious. Bought mushroom & fete, & spinach & feta quiche slices & some salads from Botanica who specialise in gluten free & vegetarian foods & vegan salads. (Did you discover them when you lived here @ms.sss?). The coffee pavlova with coffe cream & coffee drizzle was made by one of my girlfriends & another made the fruit salad. (Forgot to take some of the pxts before we started eating so they’re partially devoured.)

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
