Not quite?

I put out meat, to thaw.  Thought a steak might thaw enough to work with.  No... it just didn't quite get there.  Moved it out, where it might thaw a bit quicker.  Hoping for a steak yet tonight.  Why steak?  First, they don't need to thaw completely, to cook well.  Second, everything else needs much more thawing time.  And, finally, I need to eat something tasty.  Tastier.  Burger has become... very... old.  Which, is fine.  Sometimes.  But... I've got to make food edible, or I won't eat it.  And, if I don't eat it, I will, in time, eat something else.  Something not good.  Pizza!  Tacos!  Burritos!  And those throw my blood sugar even more off than the slight stuff I have been eating off the wagon.

In some ways I am as hungry as a bear.  I need something in me.  In other ways, I'm not hungry and all, and could keep going without for a long time.  But... in truth, I am just on an edge.  A slip could cause me to go out and eat out for days in a row, to take care of my needs, or more my wants.  I have to be caustious.  While it is true, I don't need food.  My body wants, nay demands, food.  And it requires food that is good to eat.  You can survive on stuff.  But the first shot your body gets at something better, tastier, more, it'll take it.

I am going to have to figure something else out.  I do think I need to avoid bacon.  Not... forever, or completely.  But it can't work as a main additive.  Thankfully, it isn't my favorite.  Though it would be easy enough.  The main problem is, that while it works with diabetes, it doesn't work well with high blood pressure.

What else is there?  Butter, added in?  That... doesn't help as much as it does with veggetables.  Meat has it's own fat.  So butter just doesn't... add that much.  Not even flavor.  With rice?  Sure.  With cabbage, or carrots, sure.  But those have no fat.  No protein either.

So, how to get meat to taste better?  Now, meat does taste good.  Even great.  Until... it's all you have eaten for a few days, or weeks, or months.  Then it becomes... plain.  Dull.  I have to figure something else out.  Steak, as a once in a while, is even becoming a bit dull.  It hasn't completely gone bland, which is why I am hoping for it tonight.

I have to figure something else out.  I just don't know what.  I'll look around, see if anyone else has gone through this problem.  What their possible solutions might be.  So difficult.  I try, but there are simply limits.  We'll see.

Blood sugar got down to 126.  Annoying, as little as I have been eating, and honestly generally how well I have been eating.  Even my cheats were somewhat small.  Ugh.  Meds are taken, for the night.  I'll try to keep up on that.

I pulled the trash and recycling barrels.  Nothing fancy, but good to have it done.  Checked about a parts box, for the bike.  It has a few other things in it.  Not sure where it went.  Ugh.  Will dig more tomorrow, try to find it.  Paperwork in it, I need.  And knee pads, so I can get to something else.  Always something.

I'll try to stay up a few more hours, and maybe get that steak cooked and eaten.  And... look for ideas about making carnivore a bit more tasty.  or to bring back some variety, of some sort.  Later.
