Waffle House and pre-NT

[Guest guest]

Hello all. My husband has been out of town for three days. I have two kids

under the age of three and I thought I would treat the three of us to a

break - Waffle House. Well, it was always fine before, so I didn't give it

much thought. I've been reading NT now non-stop and experimenting with

different things since shortly after Christmas. Here is a peak inside my

mind at the Waffle House - oh - we ordered orange juice, two waffles (one w/

pecans), and bacon.

" Geez, this is what we always used to order. Bacon isn't much protein.

Should of ordered some eggs. But they aren't pastured eggs. "

" Margarine, margarine? Do you have real butter here? "

" I bet these pecans weren't soaked. "

" White flour. Not soaked or prepraed. "

" Bacon. Pork. Too bad they don't serve turkey sausage. "

" Syrup. High fructose poison. Should have brought the maple syrup from

home. "

My guilt trip ended with the conclusion that I SHOULD HAVE just stayed home

and TREATED the three of us to home-made breakfast. I make breakfast EVERY

morning and just wanted a break - but none of us benefited from the WAffle

House breakfast. I think my biggest problem with overcoming the old way of

eating is when I get into a crunch and don't have anything thawed/soaked or

when I just don't have the desire to fix anything (which happens once or

twice a week). (Other than that I am pretty excited about cooking/preparing

meals. Sure beats practicing law which I did pre-children.) I am hoping

that in six months I'll have a well-stocked fridge full of fermented

veggies, etc. to choose from.....

I was so proud of this last week - NT Roast chicken recipe on Sunday

evening. Had two cups of the sauce leftover. Monday picked all the

leftover chicken off the carcass. Tuesday made chicken potpie with leftover

chicken and used sauce as a base. Two for the price of one - I loved it!!!

I did discover Sally's white flour crust recipe needs more water than what

she lists. Oh well, that's all for now. I just wanted to share.
