gearing up!

When I went camping in the Grand Canyon,

It was sooo cold - like 18 degrees.

I asked this Bushy Trail Guy if it was too cold to stay out.

He said "There is no such thing as bad weather - just bad gear!"

So it's all about the gear - and planning...

So I always keep my lunch gear ready for anything,

And buy these Wide-Mouth Thermoses when they are on sale...

They are great for packing food to take to work.

No excuses.

I spent all day cooking.... Ribs here...

Short ribs have more meat on the top - so they are more tender

Spare ribs have meat on in between - so they need more cooking time

This is chili - I added Garam Masala ...

Kinda like Autumn - with cloves and cinnamon...

Wow - I made a double batch of this - some to freeze!

I made some beef bone broth -

I won't be making a double batch of this anymore...

WAY too much for me to deal with.... 

Almost yuk.

Bacon with a spoon full of almond butter

Had some paprika/onion/garlic spice rub in there

Eggs and ham - with a hint of cheese...

I am not liking the cheese so much anymore.

I always could handle Dairy - and that is good...

But after I got sick - not so much!

We'll see!

Pretty much getting tired of pale, washed-out

Nasty-Ass Salads, too. Is it just me,

Or do things taste super bland these days?

WHY eat your Veggies - when they suck!

I am slowly still getting stronger and better every day!

I think I was pretty sick.

Onward and upward now!

Thanks for everyone who looked in on me!
