I did go ahead and make and slug down another bowl of oatmeal. And, while I was at it, decided to boil a dozen eggs. Oatmeal is great, and all. No, I really do like it. But it simply lacks something... protein. I had planned to have six eggs for today and Friday. Two of the eggs slipped off the counter and down the hatch though, so I have two bags of five eggs each. I hope they survive the journey through space and time? One bag, for sure, will make it to this afternoon. The other is quite in peril! I have to have my protein.
I did, while I was thinking on it, find the nutritional content of eggs. Someone, somewhere, many someones actually, still thinks of fat as an evil. And I saw attempts to indicate that a single egg had a huge part of the fat for a day. Looking at the daily recommended chart, I noticed fat was only 8% of the daily recommended per egg. Then I remembered, on top of that, that chart is based on the dietary needs of a 140 pound, 52 year old, post-menopausal woman on, what, like a 1.2k or 2k calorie diet! Meaning the chart is effectively useless for, really, everybody else. Well, I did look. Now, I do remember a body builder who used boiled eggs as his poor man protein. He did get rid of half the yolks. But then, he was a body builder, and he ate more like 12-20 eggs per day. Neither of those things is an issue for me. Hmm... protein... I really did need that on top of that oatmeal. A half of cup of milk with the oatmeal this time just didn't cut it.
It's about time to shower and shoo. I know there are some things I would like to find in town, but... Between money and memory, I am not sure I actually want to go too far into things. Today may just be an in and out, unless my friend calls. Hmm, I might look over seedling planters/pots though, and may again look over fluorescent lamps, now that I am more sure, and I have things going with that. I don't know that I will buy anything, though. And I can look any time. Just something to keep in my mind, for today, Friday, next week, or whenever.
Later.
Yes, oatmeal does lack something. Personally I find it lacks being made into a cookie (which is my preferred form of it).
ReplyDeleteMichael, that is... just not the right way! I'm gonna have to get you a giant gerbil wheel, with cookies just out of reach.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm thinking on chocolate chip cookies. I love those, and gingersnaps, the rest I just sort of put up with. Then again, once in a while someone really makes a good other cookie and throws my whole pessimistic paradigm. But I don't have any of those, and I don't feel like baking... So I might now have to settle for a Crunch and Snicker or Butterfinger. I hope I can keep it to two.
To be honest I have never found a ginger snap that I've liked. As a rule I don't mind spicy, but not in my desserts.
ReplyDeleteInteresting mental image of me on a gerbil wheel (while the theme to "Pinky & the Brain" plays in the background.)
Oh, I'm with you on spicy and treats. It is just that our notion of what is and isn't spicy is probably a bit off. Having made habanero sauce and thinking it of middling heat, ginger is... well, cute.
ReplyDeleteYeah? I really had to laugh when I put a picture of you into my notion, then pushed 'play'. I usually get mental images, but just shot this one off without doing that. Thanks for that. By the way, the purple gym shorts you were wearing in my mental image? Yeah, no. :p
