One problem with having to eat a certain way, which I won't mention AGAIN, one gets hungry and your choice of what you can snack on is very very limited. One might grab a banana or a muffin or a piece of toast or fruit and cheese etc. But we can't for obvious reasons.
So I set about hunting for a solution. And I think I have found one!!! The magic item is called a 'chaffle'. A chaffle is a portmanteau of cheese and waffle. I saw these mentioned on fb a number of times and the pictures sure looked good.
So I looked up a million versions of a chaffle and found a good basic recipe that you can do what you want with it. A couple of eggs and shredded cheese and a small amount of almond flour and half a teaspoon of baking powder and boom!...you have a one carb toast, bagel, bread, actual waffle replacement.
It seems what forced to be low carbers do is make a bunch and freeze them for future hamburgers, sammiches, breakfast sandwiches etc...it really is a game changer for us.
Now on the website I was reading and found the perfect basic recipe, mentioned a waffle maker that has two wells on one side. When you put batter in and close the lid it makes the perfect bowl!!! You can then add poke stuff, salad, stir fry, lettuce wrap ingredients and use the bowl instead of lettuce etc....
I liked that idea so much I decided to order one. On to Amazon I went. Well holy doodle they ain't cheap. I think they went from sixty bucks to eighty. So not happening. But I did get another little mini dash one and Ange will man one of them and I will man the one Peter gave me ages ago. That way with two of us we can get quite a few done and we can each have a bag of them in our freezer. All you need to do is toast them to thaw and warm them up. I hope we like them. I think if they are crunchy enough I would like them.
Well I got the downstairs bathroom clean. Arnie and I have talked about how, when we clean, we want whatever we are cleaning to be dirty enough that we see a difference when we are done. We don't clean clean. Some people do but they are nut cases! haha
Well I think in all my years and all the reject houses we foreclosed in our job and had to clean out, none were as outstandingly bad as that sadly neglected bathroom downstairs! Holy canoly!!!!!! But what an awesome feeling of accomplishment when it was all scrubbed and shiny!!! And now it's Ange's. She has girlied it all up with wee plants and candles. I bought some gorgeous bath mats etc. For an ugly as ditchwater bathroom it's looking pretty spiffy! But can you believe they used the same green laminate countertop as the crap in the kitchen?
Now I am going to finalize the guest room. It's pretty clean. All the bedding is washed and ready to be bedded. Then I shall vacuum and be done. Next big clean up is the kitchen. Every corner of the counter is stuffed with stuff. I am going to haul upstairs the giant garbage can and fill it. Time to get rid of stuff and give Shane the garbage mover a call. This is my favourite part purging. No thrift store. No storing. Just flipping garbage.
Thats all folks. Time to do my hair. I washed it and now it's dry and needs to be pooferized. TFL & TTYL
