    That is a very interesting sounding salad, PAV. Did you use pepper juice as dressing/for flavour or something else?

    Just lemon actually. Peppers were there for... some heat and salt without using salt!

    That stuff was good... the $2.00 300g grab bag of belgian cookies at 1600 Cal? Not as good!

    Trying to navigate the antibiotic bombs I’m taking. Not much raw stuff, no hot spices, not much coffee, no acidic stuff…. Makes for a bland unhappy meal! Only another 10 days.

    Unlike most people, I haven’t lost my appetite which could have been a bonus. But no, I still have the munchies.

    You are made of healthy stock, Yooly! Your body isn't going to let you starve for no reason.

    Boiled a dozen eggs. The bring to hard boil, turn off and leave 10 to 15 minutes method before plunging in cold water

    Luckily the turn off portion of the plan took place.... and the water was cold to the touch with no plunging involved a couple of hours later...... 🙈🤷🏻‍♂️

    Still reminded that plain baby potatoes ARE a good deal.

    Heading towards a potato egg yogurt salad to maximize goodness and not worry about food groups today 😹

    Last night came back and instead of eating chocolate nuked 400g of baby potatoes at just under 300 Cal. The girl had about 10% and I had the rest with lemon pepper and oregano and some garlic powder and some fork smashing 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe 8g butter too 👍

    Oh there’s coffee light and but not my usual 4 cups. Mercifully it’s temporary. I hope.

    The potato salad sound good and filling 🥔🥚. And it’s better for you than a chocolate binge. You got some food groups there - protein, veggies, dairy, a little fat to make it smooth. What could be better?

    Dante mentioned a spice/seasoning on his potato salad. Bukovo? Any idea what that is?

    We had pizza, because it's Wednesday night. I make us individual pizzas. I have deluxe, and Girlfriend has triple meat with black olives. Boyfriend can't have pizza after his WLS, so he had a nice piece of baked tilapia with Mexican spices, with Mexican rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, and sour cream.

    Bukovo - I have lots of that. Hubby is Italian so red pepper flakes fly liberally around here!

    Yep, it's essentially red pepper flakes, they spice up every dish while providing some color too. I like spicy stuff, so I put them in almost everything.. :D

    Today is another raid on the freezer, took some green bean stew out (apparently I had a different batch in there too, totally forgot). A quick chicken leg on the grill/air, and here we go!

    The beans on that one were from the village, so much, much yummier! :)

    So what’s on the beans? Assume they’re green beans or some exotic variety? I see the pepper flakes - love the spicy foods too. 😋 But the dark sauce is the mystery…….

    I am still searching for the rusk bread but I may have to break down and make it myself. Sometimes you just need some good crunchy chewy additions to the meal. Never could get into smoothies as a meal because there’s no chew there. Very unsatisfactory for me.

    I like chew too. And crunch. Never have gotten into a mushy texture.

    That is the only think I miss about meat. The chew. Hard to replace (though possible).

    It's essentially this recipe, without the potatoes.

    The sauce is the same, it's the green bean variety that is simply a little darker looking.
