Today I made a homemade carrot cake !

Damn! Very nice.
Baking isn't my thing. I suck at it.
But I can make a variety of pies, that all turn out somewhat decent.

Made ceviche! Scallops clams and monk fish absolutely delicious 

Details please. Would love to try. 

Chucked two dozen top neck clams and about 12-15 large dry sea scallops into a large glass bowl squeezed 5 medium limes juice to cover the clams and scallops covered with plastic wrap into fridge overnight! This morning I cut up a monk fish fillet and added it to the bowl covered and back into fridge, two hours before serving I added the red onion celery cilantro jalapeño and yellow pepper at this point I added the juice of two lemons, ground pepper, cumin, oregano hot sauce! Serve chilled with good Italian or French bread 

Thx

Inspired by local burger spot’s burger of the week last week. Since I missed out, I made one at home. It’s 2 x 1/4 lb patties, with chipotle mayo, jalapeños, fries and homemade queso sauce.

Ok, this is a joke.
Dont get upset.
Im only having fun here.

When is the last time you saw a cardiologist?
Haha 

I say this because it was meals like that, which looks outstanding by the way, that landed me with yearly visits to a cardiologist.  Hahaha

I have my annual checkup on Thursday, but my doctor has said that my cholesterol level is lower than 95% of people for whatever reason.

Well, thats great to hear!
I was at the DR. today.
I'm down 40lbs since my bypass surgery. Cholesterol, blood pressure, and the rest were all good. 

I want a Culvers double cheeseburger. 
Mayonnaise 
Raw onion
Extra pickles

Down 40? Did they bypass your stomach?    Awesome man, keep it up!

I am at the age where seeing burgers like that do nothing for me. Those days are gone for this guy. Same with Pizza. And bacon. And butter. And bagels with cream cheese. The bagels were the hardest to give up since I am in NY. We have good bagels! 

I do have cheat meals. Chinese lunch specials. Fried seafood made fresh with tartar sauce. BBQ ribs or pulled pork I make myself. Authentic Mexican. Five Guys (I think they make the best fast food burger even if it is $18), Shake Shack, Taco Bell, Chipotle and Chick-Fil-A when my daughter asks for it or we are traveling. And I love wings. We have a place nearby that makes killer wings. I drive an extra two miles to avoid driving past it!

I give in occasionally or splurge when spending time with my daughter who is 18 and will eat anything, like jalapeno poppers and then a plate of chicken tenders and fries. With ranch. But I will fast for 18 hrs or even more after I eat that stuff. I just cannot handle a 1/3 lb. burger with fries and all the fixings anymore. My body rebels! 

EDIT: Getting old sucks.

SPEEDY MCCREADY said:

Yes, getting old sux.
Thats allI have to say about that.
Culvers is my choice although Five Guys is delicious. 
But neither if those are in my diet plan. Haha 

Nothing wrong with a splurge if 95% of your diet is appropriate for your personal health condition. And you can still eat very well while being health conscious. I cannot eat many carbs or sugar for health reasons. Not for wellness or whatever the Californians are calling it these days. 

Tonight I made pulled “pork” sandwiches. I took a couple cans of jackfruit, shredded it up and then strained it through a towel by twisting the towel the remove moisture. When it came out it was in a tight loaf shape. I coated in olive oil and then coated in a homemade rub. I put it in the oven until it got kind of crusty and then reshredded it in a pan and cooked it with bbq sauce. Topped with apple slaw.

Happy Easter from Greece!!

Looks good! Today I learned that Greece celebrates Easter on a different day than we do! I had no idea!

This morning for breakfast I made a scramble with bacon, arugula, cherry tomatoes and cream cheese. I also cooked up some home fries, and served it with sourdough toast and a mug of Earl grey tea. This aardvark habanero hot sauce is also probably my favorite all purpose hot sauce.

Wow!!.. that is totally Greek!!

We went to a Mexican restaurant near my apartment the other day. I got a chicken burrito with mole sauce. It did not disappoint!
