Food on the mind.

.

Fasting is good.  So are treats.  However treats don't need to kill the program.  Ketones are measuring between 30 and 45 in just a week and change.  A fast food with all the wrong things won't wreck that for me.  The problem is, when I start that way it isn't easy for me to stop... like the chip commercial.  And, yeah, I want to keep ketosis going.  Sorry about the bad breath from it, but I'd rather cure diabetes than worry about social niceties.

I have found that if carbs are homemade, without sugar or other weird forms of carbs and else, I can handle those well.  As a treat I can do that rarely, even in excess, especially with the right fats.  It will neither throw ketosis off nor create a feast frenzy beyond control.  Using good whole carbs, homecooked, with the right recipes, and life is golden.


By the way, never use Crisco or even most vegetable oils.  Any time you see that know I will be translating to lard, tallow, butter, or such.  Olive oil can be okay, if you should understand that evooil is mostly for uncooked use, say on bread or in dressings.  Vegetable 'lard' is killing you.  Actually found out why most peanut butter is bad... it's stuffed with some sort of veggie "fat"?  Ever seen a fat veggie?  Me either.  Fake news supports fake food.

Hmm?  Oh, right.  Three things I would like to make in close enough proximity to eat as parts of a single meal.  I have made all but the beans, though not together.  As to carnitas?  A steel basket and a grill will most likely be my way.  That way I can CRISP all sides.  Almost BACON!  Oh, videos of tortillas, refried beans, and carnitas... then a few extras.

Beans on the side with cheese, sour cream, or right in with the meat.



This actually brewed while I napped.  A short... regular... nap, if another one might occur.  Or... whatever, I never know of late.  The thought of a real meal and fated video population, then filling out the menu.  This week or next, will require serious work in the kitchen.  Incentive does no harm.  Or next week, but it is on the way.

On to music and poetry.  Dark things help deep wounds, for some.  Perhaps, if enough is lost, there will never be an end to tears on this side of the veil of tears.  Not a wholly bad thing. It means one had truly desirous love and means.  The deeper the pain, the greater the gratitude... just for having been so blessed... if Wisdom becomes Lord.



Be well.
