As we speak, Autumn is exactly three weeks out and now we can activate our dictionary-decided September photo challenge!
Today's prompt is "downsize", and feel free to interpret that however you like.
I photographed my yarn basket. I haven't taken out the skeins that I used to finish up Boy Bee's blanket, and I switched to anothet project that only needs one (very large) skein. Time to downsize!
Also, I started (and finished!) my first craft goal already! I made Mr. Bee's necklace for his upcoming convention. This is just floral foam with acrylic paint. I should have a black leather cord around here somewhere... Next is the cape.
We're also testing out a new recipe tonight: low-carb meatball soup.
You can find the recipe here: http://pixydust.net/?p=1794.
I did modify to meet my twisted standards. Since the average meatball at the supermaket clocks in at near to 2-3 carbs a meatball, I decided to make my own. This was a smart move, but I should have baked them beforehand and put them into the crockpot already cooked. I also used chicken instead of beef, so they wound up sort of flaky.
Instead of putting the onions into the soup, I added them (minced) into the meatballs.
I'm also not adding green onions, but I will add some fresh spinach before serving so that it cooks just enough without making it soggy.|
So far, it smells great! Sure tastes good, too. :) And excluding the exceedingly minor carbs in the mushrooms and the spinach, it's totally carb free. All things told, by making my own meatballs, I cut out probably close to 15 carbs per serving. And that's great when you're trying to trigger ketosis.
