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.
There are quite a few people on the reddit r/keto channel who have been on a keto diet for 10 years or longer, many of them on a much stricter keto diet than we are following.
Once we reach our goal weights (at least another 20 pounds for me), we may relax it further, although many people report that after following a keto diet for a long time, their body doesn't react well when going back to a SAD diet.
Currently I'm aiming for 40-50 carbs a day and 1000-1200 calories, my 7 day average is 912 calories and 41 carbs, with 59% of calories from fat, 24% from protein, and 18% from carbs. (Doesn't add up to 100 due to rounding issues, I assume.) I'm using Nutritionix for tracking, and working on a full review of it.
Cayenne pepper is said to discourage chipmunks, as are daffodils. You might try the cayenne pepper now and think about planting an outside border of daffodils next season. Daffodils are also supposed to discourage deer because of the lycorine in them.
We had a problem with raccoons (probably) pooping in a corner of the deck, but I started sprinkling ground black pepper in that area every few days and they moved to pooping somewhere else. Not sure where, but at least it wasn't on the deck or patio.
We had mozzarella crust pizzas for supper, plus a blueberry muffin. (The recipe still needs tweaking, but it is getting better, this one was a little stiff and needed more buttermilk, and possibly more butter/allolose.)
I don't really know how big a chipmunk is, could it just go through the holes of chicken wire?
I see some things advertised on Amazon as chipmunk repellent or deterrent, but who knows if they really work?
I read an article recently suggesting using daikon radish instead of potato in potato salad, I'm hoping to try it soon.
I'm making a small batch of blueberry mini-muffins tonight, if I have it right they'll be about 2 carbs each, including the blueberries.
Plan for tonight is to pick up a rotisserie chicken at Sams.
We had taco salads.
Nice looking pie.
We had tuna salad on lettuce.
We had burgers on the grill, Diane had hers without a bun, and we had salads.
Azure Standard has barley flour, it might be worth seeing if they've got a dropoff point near you.
They have an interesting business model, every two weeks or so they pack up orders into semis (including refrigerated/frozen items) and transport them to the local dropoff sites,where volunteers help unload the truck and then the customers load their orders into their vehicles.
Their flours tend to be whole grain and very finely ground, I got some semolina from them but it would be more accurate to call it whole grain durum flour as semolina is generally coarsely ground endosperm. I've also gotten rye berries and tapioca flour from them.
For us, the dropoff point is a nearby shopping center parking lot.
