I am trying using daikon radish in place of potato in potato salad, the more it cooks the less it tastes like radish, so maybe after I add the oil and vinegar and other ingredients (celery, onion, celery salt, celery seed, hard boiled egg), it'll have some similarity to potato salad.
It looks like our attempt to turn a rescue cat (back) into a house cat has failed.
He has been mis-behaving when he wants outside, jumping on the table and peeing, etc. We tried taking him out on a leash for two weeks and that seemed to work OK, so on Wednesday we tried letting him out without the leash. He came in a couple of times, including during the hottest part of the afternoon for a nap, but went outside around suppertime and hasn't been seen since.
He had apparently lived outdoors for about 9 months, so he's got street smarts and probably can handle himself with the other critters in the neighborhood. He could still show up again, but I'm not counting on that, and the lack of knowledge as to his situation is unsettling. We did check the animal shelter today, lots of cats but no Jack.
We might decide to get another cat at some point, right now the shelters are overflowing with kittens, but I think we need to get some of Jack's leavings cleaned up first.
We did another lahvosh pizza and ate half of it. Not the lowest carb meal but it sounded good to Diane, who's had some stomach issues lately, so anything she was willing to eat was OK by me.
We also had some raw broccoli with some Deans French Onion dip.
I tried another formula for texas chocolate sheet cake, and it had issues. The cake rose too much, then collapsed in the center. The frosting is too liquid, probably too much buttermilk.
I stuck it in the fridge overnight, we'll see if it is even edible tomorrow.
I'm making a batch of keto hot dog buns tonight (under 8 carbs each) using vital wheat gluten, oat fiber and whey protein isolate. I left out the flaxseed flour, which did poorly in my flours test a few weeks ago.
Diane had beany weenie and I had a salad with the last of the sirloin steak.
I think my first reaction to this recipe was similar to my first reaction to the mayonnaise cake recipe, it doesn't make sense until you think about the ingredients.
Bisquick is flour, corn starch, baking powder, dextrose, vegetable oil, sugar, salt and monyglycerides. Except for the monoglycerides they're all things that a cookie recipe might use anyway.
Somehow I always thought of Bisquick as a buttermilk mix, but according to the label there's no buttermilk in it.
I spent several months a couple of years ago working on perfecting my biscuit-making skills before my wife finally admitted she preferred Bisquick. But we haven't made it much since going on the keto diet, so at some point I'm going to try the keto biscuit mix I referenced in a recent thread, but summertime isn't exactly biscuit weather.
Carrot cakes are pretty forgiving in terms of ingredients.
Looks good, though.
Salads with left over sirloin steak and tomato.
I wonder what the yield is supposed to be? It said 5 servings but it also said to make 1 inch balls, which would be at least 30 cookies.
We got one black raspberry today, but the big patch on the east side got ripped out last fall and it will a year or two before it rebounds (if it does at all), so I'm guessing a handful a day might be the peak this year.
Sirloin steak with sauteed mushrooms and steamed broccoli
We had leftover rotisserie chicken and salads.
We had tuna salad on lettuce tonight. I gave my wife a choice of that or a beef stir fry, she chose the tuna salad because it's "summertime" food.
I've seen squirrels carrying off tomatoes that were in the 4 ounce range, nearly the size of a tennis ball, but they prefer the smaller ones. Mostly the critters just seem to take a few bites out of one on the vine, or maybe it is birds pecking at them. I might move the critter cam in August to see who's going after the tomatoes.
