are you doing low carb/sugar too? i tried that keto ice cream. it actually tasted really good. but i think it was all the sugar alcohol that messed up my GI system the next morning.
I've been very low carb since 2010. I try to stay under 20grams or less per day. I've been a bit lazy during Covid. On the rare occasion, say Thanksgiving I take 24 hours and eat ALL the carbs. I'm usually sick for a day or two afterwards LOL. Coming off sugar was worse than opiates.

wow, 20 is really good. i haven't gotten to that point yet: i'm doing a 2/3rds model. where 2 meals have hardly any carbs and then one where i can have some. and i got my exercise back to 5 days a week. see how that works at my next a1c i guess!

I kicked things off by going on a ground beef 70/30 fast. I ate nothing but that for 3 months. Then I felt so good I continued it for 3 years before raising it from zero LOL. It was very funny I posted the best cholesterol labs EVER for me and my A1C was terrific. My doctor asked if I'd adopted a vegan diet. I was vegetarian (for years) when I started that. I just said I was working hard to eat better.

insert homer simpson drooling on himself. all ground beef? i love it.

i have found that using pork skins as a vessel for dipping in various things is not a bad switch from triscuits, tortilla chips or wheat thins.

- Scorch chicken for a few minutes in olive oil and chopped garlic and a few pinches of gember, just cause that’ll set the mood and make the kitchen smell like something’s about to happen.

- Remove chicken, leave any oil, add a little if it’s less than 2 tbl spoons

- Add spices (suriname chicken masala from turkish supermarket :)) and bake it a little.

- Add a glas of water

- Add some white and brown sugar

- Add whatever you feel like adding, like some chinese vinegar, smoked paprika, vegemite, coca cola. Doesn’t matter if you did previous steps right you won’t taste it anyway,

- Throw the chicken back in the pan, put a lid on it, turn it low

- Walk away, wait till most of the water is gone, come back and behold

Serve with boiled potatoes, snake/long bean, and a roti. Or throw it in wrap or a pie.

I was attempting to make Kabanos sausage but things didn't go as planned. First I couldn't find the right size casings so I just went with the larger hog casings and I ground it too fine and lost the texture. It tastes good though and I know what's in it. I don't have a dedicated stuffer and just use a sausage tube on the end of the grinder which is also not the best way to do it.

Very nice job! The only sausage I've made is Chorizo and I don't put it in casings. I gobble it up far too quickly.

Breakfast of leftover sausage, sauerkraut, potatoes, and carrots from last night's dinner. Nothing fancy but it sure tastes good. I grew up eating sausage and sauerkraut as my mother's side of the family is of Hungarian ancestry. My grandmother used to make sauerkraut. I don't remember her using carrots but I like them and they worked great. I'm really happy with the sausage as well even if making it didn't go as I had initially planned. It's tasty. Just the right amount of smoke and the spices for the Kabanos I was attempting to make work really well.
