picnic at the arboretum

So Sherri comes over for lunch on Saturday

We went to the Dallas Arboretum

And I thought - why not bring a lunch?


So I nade a little picnic basket

I once bet Sherri $5  that in time,
She would discover (as I have)
That food you make yourself at home
Is Better, Healthier, Cheaper, and even Faster
Than almost ANYTHING you can buy - eating out!

I think she is almost convinced!
Almost!

These little bottles fit in my cooler

Nice lunch surroundings!




On the way back to my place,
There was this huge Church -

I grew up in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas

Never saw this before!
By now Sherri is used to me taking a picture of everything in the world.

She even suggested we stop here!

Yay!

shirataki noodle vs shirataki noodle

Comparing two kinds of "miracle noodles"...

The actual kind and the grocery store kind.

One is ZC (no carbs) 

One has 4 carbs per serving....

Both are made with Konjack Noodles... (link)

Only watch out for soy.

Soy is a sick, rancid chemical, all GMO,

And we don't ever need soy, ever, in any amount.

(Says the former Vegan who once lived on soy!)

Hint: WASH them before you serve them

Made some Zoodles....

Spiral cut Zucchini

Italian Sausage and Brats

Sherri cooks

 

I prance - after my nearly 20 pound re re gain loss

One kind - more translucent

The other kind - more starchy

No real taste difference

Both make for a great scramble

Fried Tomatoes in Balsamic Vinegar.....

Sausage.... Zoodles.... and Noodles

Tea... 

And dinnah - is - suvved, y'all!

The winner - 

Unknown!

If you are really strict on carbs, get the Miracle Noodles. (link)

If Albertson's in nearby, get the other!

a day at the orifice

lol

Office Stuff

I work in an office 

And do driving visits again

I seem to thrive in a truck!

And I do much better on days.....

Driving around listening to music 

And seeing Patients...

Rain in Dallas

Sherri made this....

A Scramble and a Salad

I showed up just in time to eat dinner!

Sherri said "Don't get used to it!" 

(lol)

Stand-Up in the office (report)

They serve Berries

 

Wanted to grow Ye Olde Hair out but no-

TOO HOT!

Iced Coffee

Never sees heat -

Brews 12 hours (overnight) in the fridge

Driving all over town and back

Some days over 150 miles....!

Popeye's Gas?

Yep - Gas and Fried Chicken

Christmas in July?

Really?

Picturesque settings

And dinner for me when I get home -

I cook about 1/3 pound Ground Beef

Or some other Meat

And my Protein Shakes during the day -

Made with the coffee I cold brewed....

Because it is just way to hot to stop and eat!

And water - lots of water!

It is even too hot at night to cook and eat!

Welcome to Texas!

THAT is why we all grill so much!

I LOVE my new job!

And no more answering to "Fucking Bitch!"

Now, I just answer to "Hey - Nurse!"

(Yes? How may I help you?)
