You can get a six way at Blue Ash Chili.  I advise getting it without beans.  The beans are rubbery.

It is eastern Med in origins.  And very different.  I miss it about once a month.  Or less.

i may get jumped on for this, but it was a one-time thing and I haven't been able to find it since.  I got a can of Campbell's chili....you know, the soup company.  It was really good.  But whenever I look for it at the store, I never find it.



Anyway, the best chili is always the pot you make.  I like it very meaty and throw veggies in - it's more like a chili-ish stew.  Scallop potatoes and green beans, and some regular beans, but very few.  The "other" ingredients should still fall short of the meat content.

I miss pasta.  I've been doing the keto thing for about 6 weeks now, and dropping weight.  It's been pretty easy for me.  I'm distracted researching what I can eat instead of internally complaining about what I can't eat.



I think time ran out on my biological clock last year, in terms of eating whatever i wanted and still being limber.  38 years was a good run.  Then foot and lower-leg ailments kept happening and I gained a bunch of weight.  Meh.



I feel much more like myself the last couple of months.  Too bad I bought a new belt when I was at my fattest - that was a waste of $$$.  I've always been able to lose weight without much trouble, but I'd drop it for a month, then go back to eating crap again.  This time, I'm just going to keep at it, see where it takes me, BMI-wise.



The thing I have the biggest craving for, being off carbs/sugar, oddly enough, is a bowl of cereal.  Not pasta or chips or bread even....just a bowl of sugary milk and Cinnamon Life cereal.

It wasn't really good.  Well maybe it was, but compared to what?!?!?

Y'all have an awesome weekend!

Not yet, but soon.  
I'm hoping to avoid injuring myself, which is embarrassing to say, but true.  Exercising at X-lbs is good for you, but exercising at X minus 20 lbs is 'safer'.  


I need to be smart about it and do the 'lame' low-impact stuff instead of what I've always done - high-impact lifting, 3 hrs of basketball, etc.

Maybe it's more accurate to say it exceeded my expectations, which may not have been very high.  Fair?

Heh when I was in college I went a summer where I only ate Campbell's Soup and lost a bunch of wait.  Probably had like five times my recommended sodium intake, but lost plenty!

I remember the chili being worth eating.

fair

I used to eat the canned soups and thought they weren't bad
I think experience has taught me there are better options
