I did get something for Christmas. No way I could eat a whole turkey. Not even sure the oven would... well? Actually, I probably could cook a whole turkey. But eating it? Putting it up? Yea... I don't think so. Still, while in the store, sniffing around the dark corners of where I find preferred things, such as offal, I rummaged upon a turkey leg. Perfect, and my chosen part of the bird, mostly.
Oh, and today, I will bey trying the coconut milk. It does have some things in it that some would not wish, such as preservatives, and such. For me, that is good enough. As long as it doesn't have sweeteners, or things that spike blood sugar, I am okay with the rest. I am sure I have had coconut "curries", and such. But it has been a while. Still, using coconut oil probably gives me an idea of the flavor. Milder, in oil form, but... similar. I'll have it with breakfast. I purchased a number of cartons, each will offer just about three servings, of an half cup each, at about 170 calories per serving. Good enough for me, about 2/3rd's of what cream is.
Oh... just did it. Rather tasty. I could use a package a week, so three meals of it a week. Variety. That works well.
I almost missed medicine for last night. I woke early enough to take night meds, and did so right away. So, now or shortly, I can take morning medicines, for Friday. Sleeping in strange cycles makes taking meds a bit difficult. Still, I do my best. I did miss night meds a few days ago, for the scheduling issues, or having pushed things. Ugh. But, today, I've cleared yesterday and can start today rightly. I'll begin checking bp today or... soon.
Not bad. That coconut milk/cream. Not as good as whole raw cream, but... not bad. And it does add a bit of a change. Oh, I'll add 6 cc's of fast acting as I before I finish breakfast. Later.

ReplyDeleteCertainly my wife and I couldn't either. For Thanksgiving I had some turkey wings, and Denise had some pre-cooked turkey breast slices.
We haven't (yet) received invitations from the familials to share Christmas dinner . . . and Denise will be spending the holidays with her people in south Texas . . . so it'll be more turkey wings for me.
Her people? I guess, sometimes, that is the way of it. Best for all parties, sometimes. I have been lucky, when with a woman. Her people generally approved, and very solidly. I was always expected to go. And, with the women I have been with, I let them get me to go. I really was lucky, if I... had things to do, and places to go, so never quite truly settled.
ReplyDeleteI thought about turkey wings. Why would you choose that over drumsticks? Easier to eat, less food involved, like the flavor? I saw them, but wasn't sure there would be enough. Though, really, it confused my consideration. While I did go with the drumstick, I... am thinking about the wing now. Now, after you too, doubly so.
Just... curious why you would choose that and not a drumstick. May have to pick one up, just to try it out. Why, why, why! I... am always curious.
I've recently come to prefer wings over drumsticks, but can't truly put my finger on a sensible reason why. They're both easily convenient pieces of dark meat poultry, and both can be equally seasoned. I've also been known to eat a combination of wings and drumsticks.
ReplyDeleteI'm many things, but logical isn't one of them.
Early on in our marriage I told Denise I had married her and not her family. My mother-in-law is someone I can tolerate, but the rest of her clan put my teeth on edge. Too many differences.
Besides, Denise plans to spend several weeks down there and, as we have a house cat (and cannot easily afford boarding), I happily volunteer to stay and take care of it.
Logic? I still chuckle when a man tells me he is borne of logic. My first impression is that such a man is either dimwitted or purposefully shallow, and means it. Much as those who suggest stoicism. I get it, if you've been to hell and back, beat out of shape, lost more than you can afford, and are trying to sort things out. But if he thinks he can be logical, or stoic... he simply doesn't understand the truths of life, or is actively avoiding them.
ReplyDeleteHmm... then double the reason to obtain a wing. I may get another drumstick and two wings, in order to... try several variations and a combination. Check.
