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!

  2. I agree that salads can be pretty bland in winter especially the tomatoes and cucumbers. We just bought our first Florida strawberries of the season and they were so good. :)
