    Do you make soup as part of any meal planning?

    I start out with good intentions (I think I'll do a pot of vegetable soup) but end up adding 'whatever I have on hand.' I had a small head of cabbage, three carrots, a few stalks of celery, and two yellow onions

    The linguica was half of a two link package I had frozen in January. Also the date on the chicken thigh meat was 12-19 ( I assume last 12-19!!)

    I also had a can of chick peas and 1 of diced tomatoes; in they went.

    This is a 7 quart Dutch oven, but there is so little broth, I'll top each freezer container with a good cup or so of chicken stock.

  2. I planned out some meals for this week: enfrijoladas, chili con carne, and a cream of something pasta dish thing (not sure what, but I'm leaning towards chicken and broccoli BUT I can also just make stroganoff). So I started soaking beans and shall feed the sourdough starter (poor thing was put in the fridge this past week because I didn't have time for ANYTHING). I do have homemade egg noodles that need to be used, so either the pasta dish idea or something else.

  3. In reference to the post from earlier today where I discussed my silly food experiment, I have finished my lunch. I had a little bit of chicken, a protein cookie, a little sugar free chocolate, and a handful of Ritz crackers. No peanuts for me.

    Now we wait and see how I feel this afternoon including if my stomach requires me to eat on the drive home, and how I feel when it’s time for dinner, probably around 6:45-7:00pm. Will there be gassy pain in my stomach like there often is when I work in the office and have peanuts with my lunch? Or will I be pain and discomfort (and brutal, violent farts) free (please excuse the TMI, but I included it for the benefit of scientific research, you understand)?

    In other health-ish news, I used my CPAP machine again last night. It went well. No issues. More importantly, the SleepWatch app on my Apple Watch tells me that the ratio of restful sleep vs light sleep increased. Yesterday it was 67% restful, which wasn’t bad, I don’t think, but today it was 79% which is pretty wonderful. I like seeing that number in the 70’s, but when it pushes 80 it’s extra special. It had my sleeping heart rate dip at 21% too. Anything above 20% is excellent. Unfortunately, I failed to get six hours of sleep in total (only by a few minutes though) and the older I get the less functional I am when the total is less than six hours. Oh well.

    So as far as medical experiments go, we need to see how my stomach feels by the time dinner rolls around, 4-5 hours from now, and how tonight’s sleep goes. There is just so much data to collect. The statistics nerd typing this post is giddy with antici…

    …pation.
