The Totally Random Thread (Part 9)

I wanted to cook the blade steak today, but most recipes say to slow cook or oven cook for ages and its too hot to do that... anyone have any ideas on what to do with blade steak?

There's Bright or Blessed Solstice (not just the title of a Chilling Adventures of Sabrina episode), at least I heard Wiccans use the term 20 years ago

thrasherpix only heard the term 20 years ago at Christmas (merry = pissed) as opposed to Easter (happy = not-pissed)
I'm cooking potatoes and onions again because it just smells good. Don't have any oil, just butter. Haven't been eating a lot of meat this week...and I actually feel really good. Did you know that potatoes are full of vitamins? Maybe that's why I feel good.

When I was on my starvation diet, I ate one boiled potato a day, and a bagel. I got so thin, it was crazy. My bra size went down to an "almost A" cup, and my jean's were a size 6. Bear in mind, I'm really tall; my brother said I looked like a scarecrow with long hair. 😂 Still, it was kinda interesting...I might do it again. God, it takes SUCH self-control and determination to purposely starve yourself. Although it's really, really unhealthy...I've lost count of the times I fainted. Hmmm. It's really stupid to lose weight that way, but I have to admit, I enjoyed being so skinny.
 
Now ya made me hungry! I was planning to go back to sleep :/ I been the opposite - eating more meat, but I've been low in iron again so needed it. I defo couldnt do the carnivore diet. One meal of meat a day is plenty, which is bad cos I can easily just have one meal and thats it haha. Gotta force myself to eat more than once, especially cos I still have leftovers to get through from that cooking I did the other day!

That settles it, its breakfast time. Mac and cheese and casserole again. I hate wearing clothes.
 
Now, and you should realize I don't understand much of what Anyanka Bunny Slayer said, that having been said I do hope she is successful in what she wants.
However, the potato's did you leave the skin on them, but further to that how were the potato skins cleaned? As if the skins are cleaned to vigorously the better part of the dietary quality is removed.

You said your bra size went down to almost an A cup and your jeans were size 6. Was it that the new sizes were needed or you fancied wearing clothes that are to small?

Potatoes are amazing. You should fry some up with onions. Throw in some broccoli, cheese, and maybe a couple scrambled eggs...GOD I WISH I HAD BACON! 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓

I always leave the skin on, and no, I don't wash potatoes before cooking them. I just slice them up and throw them in the pan with butter/onions, cover it for 30 minutes, then turn up the heat so they get crispy.

I had gotten so thin, I NEEDED smaller clothes. Actually, I had to keep getting them every month because I kept getting smaller.

I want some coffee! I have enough hazelnut creamer for one more cup. ☕ 🦄🦄🦄

I have all of that, except the broccoli 😛 But I have to get through my leftovers first. Its heating up in the oven right now. I still have another serve of casserole, carrots and some onion and gravy beef left after this meal. Enough to keep me going until half way through tomorrow 😛 I might make a quiche though cos I know that is popular with the neighbours and I have to use that capsicum I dropped out of the fridge now.

Again the opposite, I have to keep buying clothes cos I get fatter. I am 100kilos now! I haven't been that big since being on Zyprexa (and seroquel)! I think it is all from lack of activity and crappy water quality. I drink more juice and even soft drink😱 now since the water is so hard here. I haven't been able to walk as much with burnt feet over the last couple weeks and I haven't been swimming near as much. Not even been doing as much in the garden because of the heat. Excuses Excuses.

I LOVE casseroles. Meat, cheese, potatoes, onions, garlic, a little sour cream....stuffed inside a flaky crust. ❤

I usually eat once a day, between 5-7pm. My head feels so much clearer on an empty stomach. It's like a mini fast when I don't until the evening. But right now, I hungry and about to eat those fried potatoes. And YAY... I have an apple pie in the fridge!!! 🐣 I'm SO glad I bought it. Pie. Oooh. 🥧🥧🥧

Oh yes...and I just found this. 😍

My casserole was very basic, beef, onion, tomatoes with a potato top. I melted marshmellows on top of those brownies I made yesterday and had that for breakfast desert 😛 they were so sweet I hope it lasts a while. I am craving white tea with sugar the last few days - very unusual for me but oh so good. I'm actually going to have to leave the house today to get milk 🙁

I hear ya on the empty stomach, I have so much more energy like that. Fasting is great 😀 I am being ultra sooky and soft on myself over christmas though, the ptsd stress on my body is hard enough. I sleep more if I eat more and thats so comforting.
 
The duck is sitting on her eggs again... hmm. I think I will just wait and see if they do hatch, but I am kinda doubtful cos shes seems to forget about them for days. I wont be able to cat proof the area she has chosen but I can keep it safe from crows at least. I wonder what smells keep cats away without upsetting the duck? I should go out there and top up her water. I'll have to drag the hose from the back around to the front cos I havent gone shopping for a new one yet.
 
Aww sucks to get stomach sick. I am just considering lunch right now haha. I should get some milk and if I go out there I can get some bread rolls (if they have any) then I could have beef and gravy rolls, which is easy and filling. I really don't want to go though... Maybe I'll fill up on the dutch courage first.

Oh God, that food made sick. I won't go into specifics, but I want to emphasize just how SICK I got. Fried food on an empty stomach wasn't such a good idea...my body rebelled. I was feeling really great before I scarfed down that stuff. Blech.

I remember the first time I went to LA back around 1981. Take off at 9:00 AM, fly five hours and land at 11:00 AM (going from Eastern time to Pacific time) and when I got there, our project leader picked me up and took me to lunch at a place that served a magnificently fresh salad. This was the first time I could actually feel nutrition coursing through my body - it was just what I needed. Other than the food my father grew in his backyard garden, it is impossible to get fresh food of any kind for more than a week or two in Toronto. After that, I understood how actresses and models could live on a minimalist diet in LA - fresh food has more nutrition in it.

Fried food is not really all that bad if you have something to cushion your stomach in it already. If you don't, you can get various pains from trying to generate enough stomach acid to dissolve the food without dissolving the stomach. Sorry to hear that something you expected to be great was a great problem.

Yeh the nutrition in fresh food here is not great either. Our soils are so deficient and even soil you buy has not been tested for things like heavy metals and stuff. Its impossible to live like the top diet bloggers do cos the food quality varies so much. I love veggies and salad but was pale,weak and sick when that was all I ate. Way too much sugar and carbs in my diet now, I have PCOS so its an extra no-no for me but I literally cannot access the food I am "supposed" to live on (according to the latest doctor studies, seems to change with the trends!). No more brownies for me today, I had such a sugar crash after lunch!

I think the meat is a good thing for me these last couple weeks. I have been able to vacuum a few times this week and usually I really struggle with being strong enough for that. Its a big noticeable difference. Also I have not been out to buy food near on as much cos I am so full all the time hehe. Tis nice!
 
Last day at work before the holidays, I'm so excited to get some time to properly rest, knit, and spend time with my family.
 
I am trying to figure out what I have done to make my skin so nice and clear and soft. It was awful a couple weeks ago, and tonight its like a different face! I know I did a bit of day drinking... maybe that is the secret?
 
Woke up this morning and could no longer stand my dirty, filthy apartment. It was like the filter came off (in my brain!) and I could finally see just how disgusting I live! No wonder it took spending the night at my mom's for me to get healthy, this environment is clearly part of why I keep getting sick! Ugh! This weekend is going to be dedicated mostly to clean-up time and for the first time in a long time, I'm certain I won't end up procrastinating until I end up not doing it anyway.

Wear a face mask. They're cheap and not only help a little against cleaning materials, but also the mold spores you can't see that make a lot of people sick. As it's such a common mistake, thought I'd add DON'T mix bleach with other chemicals

Ahh, you too?
Lost count on how many. Merry x-mas, see you next year. I've heard today by people taking the next two weeks off.

It gets annoying after a while when you know that yourself has to work all Christmas... lol
