What Did You Eat Today?

[Laura]

I 5 oz mozzarella cheese, plain Greek yogurt, burger patty with cheese, flanken beef rib

[ol_hilly]

I made some cha-paffles for lunch today at work. Cheese/pork panko waffles. For me and the gal I worked with. Fixed burgers to go with them. Dunno if I'm having anything tonight, not really hungry.

Currently in hospital for a day surgery Hernia Op, and to say I had hassle trying to get food is an understatement.

Keep in mind this is private health insurance too!

Told em no carbs, to which she replied "how about a sandwich"! I shit you not!!! Haha

In an attempt to meet them more than half way I asked if I could have a few boiled eggs. They said there was none in stock...

Then I asked for some cheese or just meat slices... none in stock!

Only for one of the nurses knew I was about to bounce - freshly rearranged insides or not - she was able to sort something for me.

They called this (picture) an omelette, but it tasted like microwaved and powdery.

It still filled a hole and I appreciate the nurse having to step in to sort it since the questionable cook couldn't.

Looking forward to getting home to my ribeye and eggs tomorrow

 

Ps: I love nursing staff. They are awesome!

It was a smoky day today. Smoked a mess of boneless beef ribs and a couple of NY strip steaks. Then I flame grill and butter basted some shrimp to go with it all.
It was a feast.

Sorry you had such a hassle. 

I'm having outpatient hernia op in 2 weeks. 

I'm bringing my own food just in case.

Definitely do!

Even something like a packet of salami style fatty meat (or whatever you are into).

You'll be the best fed person in there! Haha

Good luck with your op buddy! I hope it and your recovery go smooth.

I was told I could go home but then today they realised I live alone so understandably want me to stay a night. I'm going to keep an emergency cure dried meat in my bag at all times in future

I had one in may. Wasn't there long enough to eat.

I had a driver so I guess they assumed I lived with someone. I didn't, and went home.

Round 2... FIGHT!

Still in hospital this morning and was asked what I'd like for breakfast (keep in mind, this is from the private insurance patients menu).

I asked for a simple egg, bacon and sausage. What arrived was egg, beans and a vegetable sausage...

Madness! What is going on in the world!? They even write in the menu to encourage you to reduce your carbon footprint by eating vegan/veggie!

I sent the food back as I lack patience in general, and even moreso considering I haven't had any nutrition since the night before last.

Long story short, I got eggs and bacon I even ate some butter with it. Delicious.

Breakfast of champions!

"Eggs" from a carton, no doubt. Did they have hamburgers on menu? There aren't any cooks in these places anymore apparently. I doubt they have fresh eggs on the premise. Will they let you bring a cooler?

Worse! It's dehydrated egg

I just had a nice chat with the kitchen lady. She's not impressed either. Told me all meals are "meal for 1"... basically a TV dinner.

Rehydrating the eggs isn't what's bothering me about the eggs though. I bet they are the cheapest caged hens with dramatically less nutrition. Which blows my mind that in all places to serve nutritionally lacking and outright harmful food, its a hospital doing it.

I'm not in long enough for a cooler to be useful. Maybe if I knew they would keep me, but I was under the impression that I arrived at 10am yesterday and then left later that day.

I am not surprised, the people working there think it's healthcare, so I don't blame them, but the medical industrial complex has other interests. I wonder if they would let you fast, or if you don't get released until you eat. I don't mean you personally, just do they have a rule patient has to eat, type of thing

After a 72 hour fast, an airfried ribeye and six eggs scrambled with some pickled onions I made last night.

Don't you have someone to sneak in something for you?

Where is this (country) facility so I know to avoid being hospitalized there?

Haha, it's a place in the UK.
And with all the things going on here lately you'd be best to avoid the country, not just the facility 

I'm home now anyway, so all's well that ends well!
I've had a nice feed of Cebo de Campo Iberico ham 

 

Bringing this back to food, and for the record, I don't think the Cebo de Campo ham is worth the increased price compared to the de Cebo.
It's nice, but not noticeably more than de Cebo which is $30 cheaper.

Grilled grass fed/finished organic burgers last night and grilling ribeyes tonight with new grill. 

[ol_hilly]

Last night I had both a ribeye and a strip steak at the local butcher's house, after he twisted my arm and made me stay for supper. 

Tonight is bout a pound and a half or so, of 27/73 burger. This week, Aldi's has 5 pounds for $11.95. Fair price I thought. Nice to have burger with some fat content.

2 small ribeyes...6 eggs,,coffee...green tea

Smoking pork butt for tonight.
