someotherguy and I have been having buttermilk pancakes and either sausage or bacon. (Buttermilk pancakes are SO much better than ones made with milk, and we don't usually keep buttermilk in the house, so we decided to do a little ritual of buying it on Saturdays to have on Sundays, and then we started adding a few strips of bacon or something to the ritual.)
Anyway, no buttermilk pancakes on LID, and no bacon or sausage. Unless, of course, you make the sausage yourself.
I used the recipe my net.pal Nathan posted at House of Annie as a starting point, but I didn't use brown sugar (I used white to be safe -- not sure about the iodine in the molasses), and I was out of marjoram. I also, because I don't yet have a meat grinder, used store-bought ground pork.
He's right -- they're much less greasy, even without using super-low-fat pork, but also more flavorful and fresh-tasting than store-bought sausage. I highly recommend this. It's as quick as throwing together meat loaf or something, and I'm freezing a dozen uncooked patties for next weekend.
[Note: I covered the pan while cooking, because I have a little worry about undercooked pork. They turned out great.]
Food for yesterday, day six
Breakfast: An apple, some raw carrots, and a banana-bread Lara bar (which contains nuts and dried fruit -- I generally avoid dried fruit on the LID, but I drank a lot of water with it, and I needed the calories; I was out of the house and those were the only things besides fruit at the little market that I could eat.)
Lunch: Salt-free potato chips, raw carrots
Dinner: Soft tacos (salt-free corn tortillas; uninjected pork with salt, garlic, cumin, and chili powder; guacamole with avocados, salt, and garlic; chopped tomatoes and onions)
Snack: The rest of the guacamole
I'm not as hungry as I was before going hypo, especially in the morning. Usually it's noon or later before I can even bear to eat. But when I eat, I eat very well if I have any say over it.
