Food

 Since I am playing my game and I want it to go beyond three days, means I am cooking.  I had bought a ham with the bone in and we had that on Friday.  I sometimes do a thing called Planned Overs.  Big ham is definitely a planned over meal.  I have noticed that someone is eating leftover ham.  And that is a good thing.

So then the house was going to order in Mexican food last night.  Not me.  I had pork chops already prepped and ready to go.  No planned over there.  Just a really quick simple meal.  I'm not opposed to anyone else ordering take-out.  I just can't do it while playing the game.  

Today is the first planned over.  I made Mom's lentil soup.  I used the ham bone and the meat next to the bone.  I haven't made it in a couple of years and it was so tasty.  I think someone else agrees as one of the leftover containers has already been ate.  Lentils are a little bit high carbs, but splurges have to be made once in awhile.  And they aren't as bad as eating noodles.  And they have a higher fiber content which helps counter the carb count a bit.  

There is still enough ham for scalloped potatoes and ham.  I may not share that one with my brother.  Sometimes balancing carbs is hard.
