I was in bad shape all day today. I did something
to my shoulders and was really in pain.
Took pain medicine and then was nauseated. What a fun day. Dinner was lame. Salmon in the speed cooker, asparagus and Idahoan
mashed potatoes. This is second to
MacDonald’s on Jim’s favorites list. But
my two experiments turned out somewhat. The
first was the kale in the dehydrator.
The precut is too small, but large kale would be great. I would recommend a little EVOO and then the
salt as I had a lot of salt fall off.
But the result is chips and they are absolutely calorie free. It is just dried kale. It tastes good. Even Jim liked it.
The second experiment is just
for Jim. He has been complaining about losing
weight. Ladies, don’t we all feel so
sorry for him? So I have been making him
brownies, from the box. I have found the brownie box mix at Aldies to
be very good. I usually add walnuts and
chocolate chips. The last time I used
really great chips that I had bought in CA.
They were flavored. This time
instead of the 2/3 C of veggie oil, I used 1/3 C flax oil and 1/3 C orange oil. I thought the flax seed oil would be better
for him than veggie oil. I had to bake
it a little longer, and the orange was a little too strong. So next time I am going to use less orange
oil, but Jim liked the orange and chocolate together. He thought the result was a deeper chocolate
taste.
