Umm not sure if the was brilliant or a bad idea. I rendered beef fat we trimmed off a chuck roll. Then I took the leftover beef bits and “cracklings that didn’t render”. Popped them in the air fryer @425 for 10 min. Salted and ate a few. Taste was great. Definitely made way more than I feel comfortable eating. Hoping I don’t get heartburn tonight 😳🤷🏻♀️
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 ...
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Happy Saturday! Today was supposed to be Nathaniels first baseball game of the season but they pushed back the start due to the rain we've had this week (flooded fields). Even a little rain here causes all kinds of issues since it's so rare. But we will have a fun lunch planned today at Fogo to celebrate Chris's birthday a little early (his birthday is Monday). Chris and the kids are going snowboarding Monday for his birthday so we are celebrating him this weekend. His favorite way to celebrate is All you can eat meat, that he doesn't have to cook 😂
What are your weekend plans?
