A few days of not eating was the problem?

It looks like it.  Technically, it was one day, but when you count from dinner one afternoon, missing a dinner, then not eating until dinner the next afternoon, that... is two days.  Anyway.  Blood sugar...  Steak tonight, and a fatted coffee.  Just a third of the steak.  But that's good enough.  Blood sugar is 97, down from the mid 120s.  Very happy with that.

I honestly would like to eat more.  I just can't.  I may, the next time I am out, pick up shredded romaine, or a romaine based salad.  Or, maybe even just iceberg lettuce, or mix.  Romaine lettuce doesn't actually add almost anything to the diet, save water.  Same as iceberg.  But, if iceberg is less expensive, that may be worth it.

I need to figure out a dressing though.  To be honest, the only time you should eat extra virgin olive oil is at low temp dining, including salads, or drizzling the stuff on raw veggies, or such.  You shouldn't cook with it, it doesn't have the heat tolerance, goes bad by being cooked.  You... did know that didn't you?  You do now.  Ignore it as you will.

My problem is finding true extra virgin olive oil.  Most of it has been tainted, or is out and out not even olive oil.  Too many people foolishly cooking with it, driving up demand, making themselves sick, and tainting the market.  Bleh.

Still, might look around.  EVOO and vinegar, with a few spices and herbs makes for the easiest dressing.  Heat the steak, cut it into smaller bits, add it to the salad/lettuce, drizzle the dressing, and it really is quite good.  Plus, there is the vegetal crunch, the steak's richness, and the fats from the oil, and flavors all around.

I do have sirloin.  They aren't great, but will do.  It's nice to go a bit leaner, some days.  Same with chicken, though haven't been able to find good, by part, chicken... for certain... for a few years.  I do have some whole birds in the freezer.  May pull one out.  Lower fat, but... that means I can eat a bit more, up my protein for a few days.  And, chicken, shredded, goes well on salad too.

I really want to make some ranch dressing.  But I just don't seem to be able to ever get that quite right.  I may try again.  *sigh*  I absolutely love "ranch".  But that is the stuff with fifty seven ingredients, only a few of which are commonly known, and not all of the ideas of the ingredients can at all be trusted.  The hope is, as people are waking, they will go bankrupt.  Unfortunately, people are weak.  Even knowing they are eating poison, they... keep going back.

I must admit, I hope God... soon or late... treats this evil as what it is.  Do you remember when the government stopped allowing ground animals from being used in their own food?  This, probably, isn't quite that bad.  But... it's along the idea.  They have people drooling for poison.  In a way, it's worse.  Assuming there aren't human bits, or dna, or such, in it.  Evil does what it does.  If it makes something more addictive, and unhealthy, they'll add it.  A slow kill, wine, not whisky?

Anyway...  Glad to see the blood sugar come down.  Best keep on some food, for a while.  A few weeks, then another fast.  Or... some such.

A few songs which have been... making me think.  Later, or goodnight, good morning, good day?

Women?  Dang women.  :p
