Yeah, didn't I tell you? While I will be mainly protein and fat, offering only hard carbs (whole grain rice, fruit though limited, etc.) for most of my meals, every two weeks I get a day off for bad behavior. When I first thought of carbs for such a day, I thought first of sugared items. And, while I did gnosh on such, which I had purchased for such then lost control, I... think my tastes are changing.
There are several ways you can go with carbs. Not that you have to go just one way, either. Still, my appetite really is shrinking. So having both sweet and savory carbs might be a stretch. Well, and might even cause a sort of hangover? Maybe. What I miss more than sweets, which I am generally not into anyway, are things like breads, pizza, and such. Not only that, but if I go with a partially whole wheat mix, I might just be able to keep things more in tow. Why not just splurge when it is totally allowed? Because I would rather tone down even splurging. This is the recipe that sort of has my eye.
My next day of eating anything is the 2nd. I might change that so that it is on a weekend, or Friday... not sure if I will cut into the schedule and double up or... Actually I do know. Bad boy. I told ya! Still, once I have it set... wait... that won't work. My schedule runs eight days. With weeks being on the 7-day schedule, my food holiday will always be changing. Could tag it to a particular day, but that will only be an eating day every other time it... or something like that. Oh well. Still... I think pizza, or bread sandwich, or such will be more along my line of carb itch scratching. Making myself hungry thinking about it. Still, it's rather simple to fast. Even if I play around just a bit thinking of various foods.
I thought of other things, like crispy fried chicken. But I believe I can go with just a dash of flour, or no flour very possibly. If I use the right fats, and baste a bit, I think I can get all the crisp I need. I'd rather save my carbs for things that just don't really work otherwise. Of course, if it's not a carb enjoyment day, I can always simply use a portabella as the crust. It really isn't bad, if you cook it right. And, in the long term, it is probably my goal to, eventually, perhaps, cut down on carbs pretty much always. Save the slower-digesting ones, that don't mess with my glucose numbers.
Is it your birthday? Happy Biryhday then and be well!
ReplyDeleteNo... no birthday. I meant... every two weeks I get to celebrate, perhaps like a little birthday party. Beside that, I wasn't born, I was found in a pumpkin patch, under a big rock. I have no birthday... or belly button. :p Even the Great Pumpkin doesn't claim me. No worries... as with Moses... what was it he said? Ah, a sucker born every minute!
ReplyDeleteAs I've told my mom, and even she concurs... don't hate me because I am beautiful... much truer reasons to do so abound. *blink blink*
ReplyDeleteWell, happy birthday anyway. I've made today your birthday. Foam prerogative, dontcha know..
ReplyDeleteOh, I KNOW! And I bet I'm not the only one who knows. And it's a wonderful thing. Might have to start calling you Alice. Having nothing to do with your restaurant or Oz. Now there is a time spanning whiz-bang gumbo of literary and other arts, plus my own touches. Just for you. But you already knew that.
