First time in a while that Roommate didn't wake me up in the
middle of the night screaming at the void. So hopefully he's feeling
better. And during the day he did cough and gag less than he had been
before.
Today was an active day, mostly in the kitchen. I did the typical
grocery shopping while Roommate was at his appointment. As I did my
shopping at my store, and my store doesn't carry the Almond Flour
that I was needing for the Fathead Pizza that I was planning on
making for dinner tonight I was going to go over to the Big Store on
the other end of town. But just as I was finishing the main shopping
Roommate called and said he was done with his appointment. As I was
grabbing the Almond Flour Roommate got stuff to make Slow Cooker
Spaghetti. I was curious enough on how that would work I decided to
go along with it.
With the groceries I bought some of the Strawberry Shot Sugar Free Monsters. I was curious about the flavor. I poured it into a glass to see if it was red. And it was a strange color. It was kind of red with a bit of a kind of green tinge to it. It was kind of a mystifying glowing type look to it.
I am a little annoyed at his, “Hey, I have an idea that goes
against your diet, and you're cooking it!” mentality. But again I
was really wanting to see how preparing spaghetti in a slow cooker
would turn out. He got the idea to make spaghetti for dinner because
he had some ground turkey in the freezer and wanting to use it, and I
guess he was tired of just having meat for dinner each night. The
ground turkey was in the freezer for a while and he didn't know what
to do with it as when he ordered it on delivery he had intended them
to deliver three 1lb rolls of ground turkey, but they had delivered a
single 3 lb container. I knew it was possible to cook meat from
frozen. But good lord that lump of turkey took FOREVER to cook.
Usually when I'm cooking meat from frozen it's in the one pound flat
of ground beef that I had vacuum sealed. But this was a giant brick
of turkey that I had to keep flipping and scraping off the bits as it
thawed out.
As the turkey eventually cooked I took the time to bake some
chicken from frozen. AND THAT TOOK LESS TIME TO BAKE. Seriously does
turkey have some sort of mystical thermal insulating properties?
It was kind of funny that Roommate suggested spaghetti though, as
I'm making Pizza Casserole for the lunch plan this week and was
planning on making Fathead Pizza (now sometime this week) it's going
to be kind of an Italian themed week. And I'm thinking of making
Fathead Lasagna for lunch next week.
The trick of making spaghetti in the slow cooker is to brown the
meat combine with sauce, let it set on low for 6 hours; and then put
the noodles on high for 45 minutes. It was a chance to try the garum
that Roommate bought a couple of months ago. He had saw a Tasting
History video on it and wanted to try it, but never got around to
trying it. He opened it and took a whiff, he was NOT impressed with
the smell. It does smell like rancid feet (it is a fermented fish
sauce after all). But it does have a good salty flavor that enhances
the flavor of the meat in the dish.
And yeah that resets the Keto Kount right as I was getting to the second week. But it's just one day. At least I'm still keeping count of the days of the year that I'm keeping to the diet.
