For lunch, at Brianne's request, I cut up a pound of beef pot roast meat and stir fried it along with the balsamic vinegar sauce from the other day:
4 cloves of garlic, minced
one small Onion, minced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
2 Tbsp ponzu sauce
1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
and added a couple handfuls of frozen green beans and some sesame seeds. Yum!
The sauce was kind of thin, so I thought that there must be a low carb solution for thickeners. Corn starch has 7 g carb per Tbsp:
which is less than I expected, but still a bit high. So I googled and based on recommendations from this page:
picked up some guar gum from Sprouts market.
In other news, I ordered 2.5 lbs of dried green peas for sprouting, which arrived today. Can you say "over packaged"?!
Yes, that was all that was in the giant box! 🙆
I started some green peas for sprouting and realized that all I had ready was green leafy sprouts, so started some garbanzo beans and Lady Cream peas, too.
I mentioned that we went to Sprouts today. I picked up some more bags of green tea and Earl Grey, plus some macadamia nuts for snackage. Brianne insisted on getting some dark chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, too, and how could I resist? 🤷♀️ I also got some raw almonds for sprouting, which is one of my favorite nuts to Sprout! 👍
After Sprouts, we headed to Costa Mesa for our semi-monthly vocal therapy support group and instead of sitting in the therapist's office, we all went to a nearby Nouveau Industrial Hipster Bohemian Café to hang out and chat. Since lunch had been 5 hours ago, I got a Caprese salad. I forgot to get a pic before I started eating, but this was about halfway through:
OMG so good! I indulged and had two bottles of beer with dinner:
So that was it for today. 😉
