Stalled.

.
.
Partly while considering what to do.  I waited a few hours before checking blood sugar again.  At 79 it is lower, but not a problem by itself.  However, any work might cause a crash.  So... a meal first.  A hamburger cauliflower cheese casserole?  Something like that.  I will need to thaw the frozen cauliflower mash, as the stuff in the fridge is too questionable.

It is recommended to have blood sugar up to 100 before exercise or heavy work.  I could try a single carbohydrate tab, but it is lunchtime and better calories, and micros, would be a better solution.  The tab would be easier, quicker, but it really isn't the best way.  Hard to focus to cook, or do much.  But that is when it is best to try, to push.

A fatted tea as the cauliflower thaws, oven heats, and burger crumble gets a quick light fry.  Some Carolina Reaper flecks, onion granules, garlic, ginger, and fresh ground black pepper should do well.  I will add a cup of crushed pork rinds to the burger and two eggs to the cauliflower, and plenty of cheddar... not a single meal, obviously.  Lighter on the heat, but I'll know it.  You wouldn't be able to do it.  Tasty, just not in the mood to burn the temple down.

Perhaps it will help me get back to work.  Just getting things going started to push blood sugar.  I... backed the speed down, went more evenly.  At least I can tell when there is, or is starting to be, trouble.  And it seems I can pace down to avoid it.  Learning one step at a time.  Later.

  1. It hasn't occurred to me to look (as usual), so I'll go ahead and ask. Is it possible to buy Carolina Reaper flakes? If so, how many flakes would you recommend for the average sized casserole?

  2. Yes, easy to buy.

    As to how much? Trial and error. Mine settled a third of the bottle in transit, so it is more... brutal. For a square casserole dish, double for a rectangular one, I used thirty tiny bits for a low to medium warming. I am, however, not fully human. I would recommend about ten, and go from there. You may not get a bit in every bite, but you WILL know when you got lucky.

  3. One minor warning. When I am really tearing into this stuff, my blood... changes. I caught some of the blood from a bloody nose in my hand and it burned my hand. No joke.

  4. Thank you.

    "I am, however, not fully human." Not to worry. According to some sources I am far off the tree myself.

  5. Then, perhaps, you too may enjoy. Such odd acquaintances I make. Queer, in the straightest of ways. Just deserts.

    By the by, tolerance of excessive heat may be an indication of a certain type of, frontal lobe (frontal of some sort) brain damage/injury. I doubt my case as I exhibited signs of a love of the hot as a wee lad. I would have outgrown any damage by adulthood if that was the cause, without ongoing injuries.

    It can mimic ptsd. They have testing for that. Not all can be seen, but what they could see, test, showed negligible to nil damage.
