LATE-NIGHT SNACKS: The bottom-third of a quart of Dryers Slow Churned No Sugar Added Vanilla Ice Cream, Too Many Peanuts
Gym: None, 30.5 miles total
Clean: 20/10 x3
Yesterday, Molly slept till some time past 6pm - and when she woke up, she was ready to be awake! As I am the guy for late-night companionship in our family dynamic, I stayed up with Molly feeding her Macaroni & Cheese, Ice Cream, Popsicles and as much juice as she could drink - which was GREAT because since her operation on Thursday she just hasn't eaten or drank much of anything.
Unfortunately, this sent me foraging for late-night munchies. VICTORY in that I stuck with low-carb and low sugar treats, UNFORTUNATE that I over-ate those low-carb treats. I'll consider it a draw :)
But the BIG TRIUMPH of the night (IMHO) was my crazy-awesome SOUP-SAUCE! It was inspired by a recipe I read in a Jamie Oliver book once, it's a 7-Vegetable Sauce that he uses as a base for pretty much anything - add some cumin and beans, it's Chili. Add some oregano and pasta, it's Spaghetti. Add some cream and it's a hearty soup. It's INCREDIBLE, and i followed NO ACTUAL RECIPE... it was all just *technique*
In my biggest roasting pan, I chopped up:
Roasted that at 300-degrees till everything was melty, soft and beginning to brown on the top just slightly. I then put it all in the blender (took two loads) and blitzed it up in to the most delicious soup/sauce in all of forever!
