confession time. When they told me on Monday that my condition was serious and I might die if I didnt take the meds, I reacted by going to Trader Joes and spending about $100.00 on food. Okay, that was a giant bag of Macadamia nuts (all gone now. Damn they were good). Some shallots, vermouth, butter, Gruyere cheese, mushrooms, scallops and cream (Damn those Coquilles St. Jacques were delicious) Some protein bars, Kind bars and Luna bars.... avocados tomatoes and jalepenos (yes, I have a batch of beans in the crock pot), and a lot of fresh salad stuff. I made a killer batch of hummus from scratch and had it for lunch all week with Persian cucumbers. The scallop sauce was so rich, I ate all the scallops out and I think Ill poach some more tomorrow and use the same sauce. (the bay leaf and fresh lemon juice are the trick to the sauce.)... and Ive been having real cream in my double strength coffee every morning. I testify that it is far superior to half and half.... we wont even discuss 2% milk.) All of that sort of balanced out the rest of the week.... Im still remembering the scallops.
