My first foray into truly dirty keto:

2 McDoubles with no bun, no ketchup, add lettuce, and add mayo.

Worth every penny of the $3 I paid :D

Boiled chicken / bok choy (chicken boiled for much longer)
purple rice (white rice with some black forbidden rice - thank you ORDeditor!!!!)

can you get a lettuce bun? I’ve seen them on tv.

At In 'n Out! Order it protein style.

You making me hungry! :)

Dinner last night:
Green Curry with chicken and eggplants (nuked to smithereens in a pressure cooker - still very delicious)
Toasted garlic Nan bread for dipping (Trader Joe's)
Feta cheese filled puff pastries
Salad

How funny - I also made green chicken curry yesterday (with a packet of green curry from Thailand which I'd brought back) but not too authentic b/c I used chinese eggplant instead of proper thai ones, as well as some fresh (frozen) mango. Not in pressure cooker though so not overcooked ;)
But I did use coconut milk imported from Thailand (Aroy-d which is 100% coconut milk).

Outdoor Luncheon at Zazie, cole valley, Sf today
shared coffeecake & lemon ricotta pancake with lemon curd
Niçoise salad with seared ahi tuna
mint iced tea

so filling that I’m just having a salad & Girl Scout cookies for supper

You should see the aftermath, nothing was left! ;)

You know you are welcome anytime to have Thai Curry or eggplant salad at our place! :)

We had homemade Matcha pancakes for breakfast this morning!

I made a black bean (from dry beans) and andouille sausage soup for the blustery weather we’re having. It’s supposed to be 70F over the weekend and into next week though.

Had a light breakfast that consisted of 2 slices of chocolate cheesecake with cream and chased it with a cup of coffee.

Will be working on my lunch and will report later ...

BTW, the raspberry Kringles are out at Trader Joes

king crab leg omelette (2 full yolks eggs / 1 egg white)
buttered sourdough toast

I saw Kringles as a WI thing for ages and thankfully finally started to see it at Trader Joe’s. They’re so nice.

They're totally a Wisconsin thing, but TJs knows what's good! When we went to Wisconsin a couple weekends ago we stopped at Mar's Cheese Castle on our way, and I had to restrain myself to keep from getting an almond Kringle. But whenever I go to that place I always find a new cracker that I get hooked on and cannot find any place else under the sun. This time it was a French basil and olive oil wafer cracker, followed closely behind by a deliciously rich cheddar cracker. My friends who live in Wisconsin temporarily are in Chicago this weekend and I should have asked them to pick up a case of both for me.

Thank you for sharing.

My son and I loved the almond and pecan kringles, while my daughter has patiently waited for one with a fruit flavored filling.

My weekly grocery box was delivered today. I was excited to see the two purple cauliflower. The product description said I would receive either orange, green, or purple. I intended to steam, baste, then roast one, but I forgot to use the Steam function on the Instant Pot and pressure cooked the hell out of it. The second attempt was thankfully a success. It is basted with ghee, garlic, and salt, then roasted for 30 minutes in the toaster oven. 🙌

First attempt in the Instant Pot.

The obliterated one fell apart and through my fingers when I tried to lift it out.

Success! The second one steamed, basted, and roasted.
