Day 19 the Diabetic Food Stamp project

I had soup for breakfast followed by coffee with cream. I had to run out and pick up some more venison for the cats. Remember that venison...the stuff I can't eat until March? The cats are loving the trimmings cut into cat sized bites.

Anyway...breakfast

It was a bit of a run around day and my foot (The one smashed at NYSC) was particularly painful today.

I've a class tonight and will be making enchiladas with the kids and they will be having rice. I have had rice on my brain all day so I had a dish at lunch with some rice, but not much.

1/2 cup rice .08
3 chicken legs shredded 1.50
1 red pepper .70
2 onions .20
Butter .30
Garlic .02 (4 cloves)
Capers .10
Total 2.90 (I ate half)

I shredded the chicken (pre-roasted) sauteed the whole chopped pepper, two onions and the garlic in butter. I added in the chicken and rice and toasted the rice, hit it with some oregano and capers. Added a cup of water and brought it to a boil, turned low, put on the lid and let it simmer for 20 minutes, turned off the heat and let rest and then I ate half with some crackers and cheese alongside.

Bliss.

...and I went to Trinity and we worked on cheese and roast pepper enchiladas. While there I had a bit of cheese leftover from a meeting. No cost, no carbs, but more fat.

I got home a little after 9 and needed to eat something.

A little puffy flat bread with bacon, tomato, and feta seasoned with garlic and oregano. Awesome little meal.

Tomato .25
1 oz of feta .24
4 slices of bacon 68

1,108 calories, 50% from fat. I hereby declare tomorrow vegetable day.

Total cost 3.99. I had 9.88 I could have used so I now carry  5.89 over.

I am better at budgeting but worse at taking care of myself and balancing meals.
