Well total miscommunication with the pig for lunch today. 😂 We thought we ordered the whole pig but maybe because we ordered so much other food or because there was only 3 of us they brought us one PORTION of pig and not the whole one. It was probably all the food we needed because we also had blood sausage, fried bacon, octopus, and a bunch of cheeses...but I was bummed I didn't get a picture with one. 😂😂 I took this before from someone else's table thinking ours was on the way still. They cut the pig with a plate to show you how tender it is. The skin was absolutely incredible. They only season it with salt and then pour over some of the broth it's cooked in on your plate. Such an incredible meal.
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...

Today is race day for this young man. We have been working on fueling the body to see what works for him (He really wants to break a 5min mile). Last night he enjoyed pork steak and a biscuit with honey (our neighbor gave us biscuits 🤷). Breakfast this morning was 2 scrambled eggs 3 slices of twisty bacon (yes he requested that specifically) and a biscuit with honey. His packed lunch consists of a lot...not sure what he will eat but he wanted choices. Lunchmeat sandwich, apples, peppers, beef sticks, granola bar and granola/nuts if he gets snackish. He loves eating real whole foods but I am still digging into that runners nutrition... specifically with keto based.
Happy Sunday! I THINK 🤞🏼the Locals issues are fixed. I got an app update last night and I am finally getting notifications again, and I can't see any posts cut off anymore. Let me know if you are still seeing issues. After church Chris and the kids are headed to a Diamondbacks baseball game for Nathaniel's birthday, I am staying home on puppy duty.
What are you eating today?
Livestream for Supporters tomorrow (Monday) at 7pm est.
