A wealthy husband and his wife were having dinner at an upscale restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big open mouthed kiss, then says she'll see him later and walks away. The wife glares at her husband and says, "Who the hell was that?" "Oh," replies the husband, "she's my mistress." Well, that's the last straw," says the wife. "I've had enough, I want a divorce! "I can understand that," replies her husband, "but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more BMW in the garage and no more yacht club. But the decision is yours." Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm. "Who's that woman with George?" asks the wife. "That's his mistress," says her husband. “Ours is prettier," she replies.

jonj, you have me turning green with pizza envy. They look awesome.👍

I was too hungry. And greedy. Grilled the flat iron steak without turning it into a meatzza. Cooked it more than I would like but it was still moist and husband liked it.

I had to stop eating my bread as i need to lose a few pounds, my BP started going crazy. It's under control now but i need to eat in moderation for awhile lol But I'm still baking it for friends and family. I've started making a whole grain sourdough that people really like

Ha ha. That technology, a continuous glucose monitor, has saved me from a life time dependency on drugs. When I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few years ago, a doctor friend sent me a monitor to try out. He was totally sure that I could not reverse my diabetes with diet and he sent me the tech to prove that my skin prick tests were not giving me the full picture. Instead of discouraging me, the tech helped me understand that the order in which I ate things mattered and it also helped me understand which things most affected my blood sugar. I was able to prove that my natural glucose control improved after 6 months of fasting three days a week and now, four years on, I am still not taking any drugs whereas my husband has had to "graduate" to injecting insulin. The drugs arms race is well documented in the book that helped me - The Diabetes Code - and I am so pleased to have avoided getting onto the treadmill.

my wife was diagnosed with type 2 (or was it type 1?) diabetes. she had freestyle bluetooth device in her arm and checked it like every 3 min. the anxiety was not worth the technological convenience. she stopped checking all together and now just eats carefully. i guess it wasn't that serious? 😅

Fingers crossed for lunch hour.

By coincidence, last night I made the first loaf of bread that I have baked in ages. I had been meaning to try some einkorn bread to see what impact it would have on my blood sugar. It was roughly 50% whole grain einkorn flour and 50% all purpose einkorn flour (sifted 30% out of the whole grain by weight). Used fresh yeast and it took about 2 hours from start to finish plus 2 hours waiting for it to cool down. It was moist and deeelicious! Blood glucose test inconclusive because I had eaten other carb beforehand but will try a "control" test this lunch time. Flat top because I used a sandwich loaf tin with a lid. Wrapped in the cloth to avoid a crust forming. Much more successful than my attempts at sourdough.

thanks poochie. i know exactly why it wasn't good. it's because i rushed the whole thing. i don't think i have the patience for making bread anymore and these days i feel like buying bread more than baking it...

When we see the Kansas City Chiefs playing in freezing weather we forget that they just have a few hours of work in the snow. People like @jonj have to live with it day in day out. Brrrrrrr. Good luck tonight in Baltimore! Cooked mackerel on the 23 for lunch yesterday. Indonesian spicing, including coconut paste. It stuck at first but I left it for 3 minutes before moving and all was good. I then cooked this matambre (piece of veal skirt) low and slow on the KK before smothering it in sauce and cheese and putting it under the grill to make a Meatzza. No carb yumminess!

Since the temperature finally got up over freezing yesterday, i cooked some chicken breasts for dinner last night and future chicken Caesar salad tomorrow night. One pair used Jack Stack BBQ rub (dark color) and the other pair (for the salad) used Blues Hog High Flyin' Chicken rub (light color). Chicken with Jack Stack rub, truffle spice roasted potatoes, green beans with bacon and onion, baguette. Very tasty.

Road trip. Very long road trip. We drove 15 hours on Sunday to the South of France and a further 6.5 hours into Italy today and my 16KK came with us: Here is Dan the Man, helping us load her into the back of the car Sitting pretty in the boot My husband had originally planned to attach loads of ties to the KK but instead decided to leave the back seats up and we packed all the rest of our stuff around the KK. Resting now after all that driving. Will post photos in a few days when we have her all set up and ready to go.

Thinking about @tony b @jonj this afternoon while roasting chickens in 60 degrees & sun weather at 5pm
