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 ...
Had a great start to school yesterday. Hopefully it continues to go smoothly. Last weekend my son found his Eagle Scout project! He is making a cross country course for a rival school in some woods the town just bought. He loves the idea on creating a trail/course that he will get to race on next season. However, I didn't use my brain and now have poison ivy in my legs🤦. So I am strict beef/eggs the next few days while I heal from that life lesson.
Happy Monday!! How was your weekend? Can you believe we are halfway through August already!? We had a great weekend, mostly just hanging out and playing games. I have a couple days at home and then leave on Wednesday for my work trip. We also have a plumber and contractors coming today to hopefully finish up the leak issues we've been having. Hoping we have 2 toilets again by the time I get back n🙏🏼
What is your non-negotiable for this month?
Come hang out tonight at 7pm EST and chat on the Livestream if you are wanting to get focused and motivated for the week ahead.
I just watched Dr Ken Berry and Neisha’s Monday night live on mayo! 🤯😡 Everything is a scam now a days and run by greedy big corporations. So if you haven’t seen it, there was a study done at UC Davis on Chosen and Primal Kitchen Mayo made with avocado oil. Turns out it’s not really avocado oil. Can’t say I’m really shocked as they were bought out by Kraft but it is very disheartening. Guess I’ll be experimenting and making my own mayo.
