Induction day 11....

Tut Tut.. it feels like rain.... Aaaaaaaand man is it a windy rainy day!!! These are the kind of days i like to just "veg" out .    I'm GONNA make that darn taco dip! ...and enjoy it w some pork rinds and celery... all the while, enjoying the yummy delicious smell of soup... I'm thinking, before we have another veggie catastrophe, it's time to cook the cabbage!  Soooo... i'm gonna put some beef stock in the soup pot, chop up the cabbage into bit size pieces, layer some onion... LOTS of garlic (Nature's cure all ) and some smoked pork chops, and lots of fresh ground black pepper... mmmmm it's gonna smell good up in he~awh!  
         I was so excited yesterday, bc instead of the normal baggy hoodies, and sweats...to hide in, i tried on an old pair of jeans, and tee... and THEY FIT!   what a WONDERFUL feeling that was!
      *taps on tummy* knock knock! hello mcFly... anyone home?.... i've lost my appetite... no idea why.. I think possibly... that my body has effectivly learned to not only switch over from bordem/emotional eating (aka,...24-7 munchies)... As well as to only want food when i'm hungry.   My doc had recently told me that i might be one of those odd balls out there that doesn't need a lot of calories to function... I DISAGREE with that... bc anything less than like... 1000 calories in my opinion is deprivation... BUT, like i said, ... even w 2 shake, a piece of mozz string cheese and a few handfuls of nuts (wasn't paying attention to portions last night while watching a movie..OOPS)... i still manage ok.  So, we'll see.   I would like to think that... maybe i'm giving my body (not w yesterdays ingestions of course) but.. in general.. i'm giving my body just what it Needs... and the rest of the flubber lingering on like a fat kid in a candy store has no other choice but to just melt away and feul my body w energy.  Still, I AM aware I need to be eating REAL meals...   Just not sure why my appetite is Non existent... esp coming from a food lover.   Me+ loosing appetite= Rose, holding her hands out to jack as he sinks to the bottom of the ocean.."come back! come back!!!!".. HA!    well, in hopes that my favorite foods being prepared and easily accessible to me today, will help.   BUT, let's not forget the words of our parents and drs... ONLY EAT when you're Hungry, and only til you're satisfied.. some say til full... but, i HAte that bloating... DON'T STAND BEHIND ME I JUST ATE YOU HAVE BEEN WAAAAAAAARNED feeling...  esp w out a galbladder? haha WATCH OUT NOW!! blegh!  anyway, i'm gonna venture into the kitchen and start conjuring up grub.  the pix i add might not be as great... bc they'll probably be taken via cell phone... bc my lap top is on her time of the month apparently, and is refusing to connect to the wireless today...I have been taking pix with the Photo booth... *sigh*  it's just not the same w/out her .   lol   Anyway, i'll be back!

LAPTOP'S UP!   starting out w three cans of beef stock...PS... whenever Shoprite has their CAN CAN sale.. That's the BEST TIME to "stock" bwahaha o.0 up on your stocks/broths etc.... Anyway... Gonna add 3 cups of water now...    turned on the burner... med heat i guess... Gonna add the pork chops now.... Whole, Frozen..and letm cook..I like putting them on the bottom of everything.. just my preference... plus.. they cook nicer.. AND FYI..the LONGER you cook this stuff, the more tender the meat n cabbage get... melts in yo mouth! mmm
    next... gonna thick slice the onions.. you can dice'm if ya want.. but i like the long "noodle"shaped slices of onion. mm mm mmm...    
        Then... add as Much garlic as you like :D...then the black pepper... *NOTE* i don't add salt til it's all dished up... bc the smoked pork chops have enough salt in them...as does the beef stock/broth...whichever ur using.
        Noooooooooooow... i'm gonna whip out my mr miagi skills and choppa choppa!   CAREFULLY place all the chopped cabbage into the pot... EXPECT overflowage.. SEEE? this is why i find it easier to add the other stuff first, and top w cabbage... the cabbage will cook down... make sure you keep checking on it tho.... and occasionally stir.
      Do you have left over cabbage striking the pot?? "HELL NO WE WONT GO!"? well... grab some butter.. YES butter... get a large frying pan, get that garlic  back out... and fry away!  Yummy crunchy comfort food.. VERY high in goodness for you! :D

I AM TIRED! ... soup was GREAT!... made the taco dip.. soprry...pix next time...and i'm making a quiche w an almond crust. should be interesting.    forks unite! i'm hit the hay as Soon as the quiche comes out xoxoxoxoxo
