Dinner, April 3

Tossed some chicken drumettes with coconut flour, garlic and onion powder; then, fried them with reckless abandon in coconut oil.

Tell me - what looks yummier than chicken frying in hot oil? NOTHING, my friends. Once these were crispy they were whisked off for pampering with paper towels, then a zipper bag to be lovingly coated with Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing sauce, the king of all sauces. I adore all of Frank's stupendous sauces. If I am ever so lucky to meet Frank, I will immediately have sex with him out of sheer gustatory gratitude. I am a shameless 'ho when it comes to good sauce.


Next...
chopped organic bacon and leeks were gently crisped in a pan. Then, after the addition of a couple spoons of bacon grease (you don't save your bacon grease? Shame on you!) about 2 cups of beet greens and a handful or so of mixed herbs and baby lettuces were delicately tossed in. You cannot roughhouse with baby lettuces. Toss (gently) to acquire a healthy sheen of bacon grease, wilt, add a bit of herb dressing, toss (gently, dammit!), plate. Even picky greens-haters will eat leaves coated with bacon fat. And if they don't? Screw them. More for you.


Voila! A nummy (although dimly lit) dinner that is low-carb, full of good fats, and allergen-free. At least for me. Oh, there's probably a bunch of vitamins in there too...and due to the yummy fat, you'll actually absorb them! A novel concept totally lost on the likes of Dean Ornish (or as I call him, Count Meathater Von BaggyEyes) but we're so much smarter than the average doctor, no?
