I'm eating a great deal of ice cream. To be specific, I finish a 48oz container in two days, which averages to one and a half pints per day.
Batteries have been replaced, so I've included the percent fat. But I didn't measure my waist.
I told my wife that I keep seeing our daughter's former classmates at the store, but now they're all grown up!
"What do you think it means?" I asked my wife. "Is the Universe trying to tell me something?"
"Yes, you're old."
The scale needs new batteries. All I get from it is weight.
This dish gets nearly all its flavor from the sauce. When cooking bland ingredients such as boneless and skinless white meat chicken as we do here, I prefer to use a pungent sauce such as black bean sauce. Same goes for tofu.
The organic chicken tenders are simply cuts of chicken breast, which I used to concoct this recipe. Feel free to use any finger-sized pieces of chicken.
Salt is not required for this dish. The black bean sauce provides enough.
The poblano provides a bit of spicy "zing." If you use an ordinary green pepper, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Feel free to add more spice.
Broccoli is a great addition to this dish. The florets soak up the liquid and act like "flavor sponges." If using broccoli, add it with the onions and peppers. Feel free to add liquid if the pan seems dry. Bok choy is another addition to consider, but it cooks quickly so add it with the mushrooms.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. It also will stain your cutting board, knife, fingers, etc. I use Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean my knife.
Black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin. Pre-ground black pepper can harbor mold; using fresh cracked pepper avoids this toxin.
Occasionally the Body Composition feature of my bath scale fails to work. When that happens I report a value for the Fat percentage anyway, using a previous value or one that's interpolated. Today is one of those "interpolated" days.
CNN reported that villagers ventured into a nearby mine hoping to find gold. But they became trapped when the mine flooded. After being stuck for days, some intrepid rescuers got them out. And best of all, they did find gold!1
"I hope they learned a lesson," my wife said.
"Yes, it's that someone will rescue you if you do something stupid." I went on to wonder aloud, "Are there any mines in our town that I can look for gold in?"
"You bet there is. I'm sitting on one."
