I used to get it way too often. Well, anytime is too often. But like you, hadn't had it since I been watching what I ate. Then last year BAM right in the toe. I tell people it's like having a kidney stone in your toe. Anyhow, The only thing I could think of that I had ate that might of triggered it was I ate nearly a whole container of beef jerky. And it had loads of black pepper in it. Black pepper has quite a bit of oxalates. I have since laid off the black pepper and haven't had a flair up. Coincidence or just lucky? I don't know but I'll take it. I have since read up on pepper and White pepper has about a 1/4 of the oxalates of black pepper. So when I get an urge for pepper, that's what I use. And sparingly.

To go out and find a frozen Mammoth. I'm hibernating for the weekend. 🥶 Good luck to everyone in the path of the storm! ❄️

Merry Christmas to all y'all!!! 🎄

I had to have one of the kids at work show e how to do it. 🫣

Think I figured it out.

I'm having a deer burger steak with four eggs. Had leftover chicken for lunch.

I just had my bloodwork done last week. And they said kinda the same thing. "Your cholesterol is high. You should really think about taking something for that. " I said No and No, ... I think I'll just mention to them next time to just don't do that test. It'll save alot of disagreements in the future. ... I bet they won't go for it though. 🙄

I have never experienced the metal taste. I'll know not to be too concerned about it if I ever do. If I ever figure out how to do a screen shot on my phone, I'll post it. Don't get your hopes up though. 🙄🙃

I found the tracker a couple months ago on the app store I use (F-Droid). I know that Google play store has fasting apps as well. And Probably Apple store. This one is called Fast Track and is pretty simple. After so many hours is says your burning fat, then it says your in Ketosis, then your in Autophagy, then your in Optimal Autophagy. I ended this fast (at work 🙄) at 62:13:50 . Says I had 46 hours of Fat Burn, 42 hours of Ketosis, and 38 hours of Autophagy. Does it have a clue? I dunno. ... But I can keep a log of my fasts. Free and no ads. Still haven't had a coffee. Am having a green tea tonight.

According to this new fast tracker, I'm 50:25 in. Says Autophagy is in full swing. I don't ever plan a fast, I just kinda go with what feels right. October I did a 42 hour fast. Usually eat once a day, unless I'm at work and I will surely starve if I don't eat lunch. I work tomorrow. We'll see how long I can make it past lunch. Oh yeah, Have not had coffee since Friday night. And am past the caffeine demons. We'll see how long that lasts as well.

Sold a pallet of one pound packages of hamburger at the little store I part time at today (Saturday). Owner found a bargain somewhere and priced it at $3.99 a pound. Was busier'n a cat coverin up doodoo on a marble floor. Burger was 80/20. And apparently was a tyson brand. I managed to grab 5 pounds before we sold out. ... Then our regular burger went back up to $4.50 where it's been for a few months. Bacon went up awhile back to $3.69 a pound, from 3.49. ..... I still buy some meats from the local butcher shop. But not bacon and burger. An older couple came in today and was lookin at the cheeses and asked if I had ever tried Limburger cheese. 😀 I said I had, a long time ago. They said it was on they're bucket list. I told em they should try it. Wasn't bad. Just the after taste was alil wanky. We don't handle it there. He was going to havta find it somewhere else. Well, I've had a nap. Now I'm up too early. Ought to find something to do I spect.

Went to a reunion today. Had brisket and pork. Brought home some of both. I won't havta cook tonight and maybe tomorrow.

I like to pressure cook ox tail. But they are far and few between. I usually have to wait till a neighbor butchers a beef and doesn't want any of the yucky innards or tails. 😀

I love blue cheese! Haven't noticed any side effects. I order a five pound bag through work and divide up with my egg producers. Keeps me in eggs on the cheap.

Through the power of alchemy and luck, I turned some chicken livers into catfish.
