h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Chicken thighs that is.... We bought two of them, after the gym this morning, from the Halal butchers They'd been marinaded in.... honestly not a clue... But very tasty whatever it was... I got some garlic... some sense of 'hot' spice, but I'm not sure if chili or just pepper, paprika, etc.... and was a slight sort of citrus thing going on too, but fairly sure it wasn't lemon or lime... gorgeous mind...

I grilled them up, one for me one for W, and did a mixed salad to go with it, plus, finished off the final few potatos left from the last bag, made into wedges, skin on, baked in the oven with plenty of black pepper on....

Needed a decent sized meal after gym today

Didn't sleep more than maybe two hours last night, so so this morning, but had my porridge, with almunds, and steroids, and went to the gym...

Did 15 minutes on the cross trainer, intervals, and then 300 crunches on the abs machine

then did half an hours weights, on the barbell... 300 reps mix of squats, curls, presses, upright rowing, etc., etc.,

Oddly, now feel fairly awake

Dinner tonight will be fish... we also got some broccoli which I'll bake tonight, with cinnamon and black pepper... and maybe also have some wild rice with the fish... either salmon or trout tonight I think, as we had haddock a couple nights back

Off to dentists Thursday for the deep clean, and then Friday I've an endocrine regular app in clinic, plus on Friday need to get the blood drawn for the metabolic bone clinic (Vit D, calcium etc, for them); doing it Friday as endocrine will want blood too, so it can be both drawn together

Did laundry yesterday, and a little housework, but, it was too warm to do a proper clean through the house... must try do that during the week some time...

feeling stuffed after lunch Shall have to have my fruit allowance for the day later, after dinner I think perhaps an afternoon nap is called for although... maybe a first...

I must be tired... 'Thighs'? - nah... they were definitely chicken legs... - although it was my thighs on the cross trainer, and doinjg squats, this morning

Now I wonder if they also have Buffalo Thighs in upstate New York

MMM... Buffalo thighs... I'm guessing they're quite large!

I certainly hope so!

I must ask my good friend Shea asap

This is a proper sentence:


Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Its quite a buffalo orientated sentence... Not that there is anything wrong with buffalo orientated sentences, but, I feel, it is my duty, to point out the obvious, slight lack of a mention of cheese. Mind, I guess just as all sentences cannot be entirely buffalo orientated, so, too, all sentences cannot, and possibly should-not, be entirely of a cheese orientation.

I know some might disagree, vermuntly... of course

Lunch today was chicken sausage and bulghur pilaf pickled chilis, and plain yoghurt to serve

Oddly, and by coincidence, dinner tonight, was also sausages; Venison one's this time, mind, and with baked beans and chips (OK I was tired tonight, couldn't think of what else to cook) - mind, dinner did have the benefit of having over 50 Grams protein which is almost half my protein goal for the day

Gym this morning, lifted about 6000 KG (300 Reps at 20 KG), 300 abdominal crunches, and twenty minutes pretty-much flat-out on the cross trainer

Not bad as I didn't sleep last night, for the second night on the trot...

May be a visit to the pub tonight... so I should be able to sleep tonight

What - no buffalo cheese?

Yes! we demand buffalo cheese!

Buffalo Cheese Steak!

!'s can has!

As long as it isn't buffalo mozzarella. I can't stand the texture at it appears tasteless to me. And overpriced too

I never quite saw the fascination with mozzarella, of any variety.. TBH, for pizza, I prefer using a strong cheddar, mainly, and if I've got hold of some, throw on a bit of mozzarella (doesn't need to be expensive), to give the cheese on the pizza, that 'stringy' texture... when you pull slices apart... as the flavour comes from the mature cheddar, or other hard strong cheese, then the flavour of the mozzarella isn't overly important

Mind, for simplicity these days, I cheat when making pizza, and don't use a tomato based topping/sauce, instead I make a low cal version of garlic butter sauce, and use that instead, on top of the base, followed by the cheeses, then any meat or veg on top of that... useually chicken and sweetcorn, chilis, and onions

Thinking about it, have you ever seen a cat make pizza? no. me neither...

I can get a nice pizza topping here. It's a blend of cheddar and something else which I canø't remember right now.

Might cats prefer mice on their pizzas?

Cheddar!?


On pizza!?

On post 13, Roman fare, of a kind one might see at a banquet officiated by Petronius Arbiter.

I have seen cats devour pizza.

Kittehs luvz pizza!

Our cat liked pizza... but, really, she loved kebab, with all the chili sauce - mind, she drew the line at eating the salad with it

Try salting the cat's salad with pumpkin seeds. (shelled)

That and a creative chunky blue cheese dressing.

Oo... that just might have worked
