Friday & Saturday is a little late but her it is:

No Thursday – I was just to busy but I’m going to try and not skip another day.
Friday I had the same thing for breakfast that I always have and here is the rest of Friday.

Breakfast
6 oz. Low fat Yogurt
1/ 2 cp Low Fat Granola

Lunch
2 ½ cps Spaghetti and Meatballs
2 cps garden Salad w/ 2 Tbs Blue Cheese Dressing

Afternoon Meal
1 Marie Calendars Beef pot pie

Dinner was Korean Food
Dal sot bib in bob
It has 1 cp rice, 3 oz Seasoned pork, assorted vegetables and an egg. You mix it all up with some hot pepper sauce and it is delicious (one of my favorite Korean dishes) after this I had a 3” slice of apple pie with a 16 oz glass of milk and was set for the night.

On Saturday I got up earlier with my son David and had the almost usual 6 oz. low fat yogurt
¾ cup skim milk. The rest of the day was as follows:

Mid Morning
2 Breakfast burritos ( each consisted of 1 ½ eggs, 1 slice American cheese, 2 oz ham, and an 8” tortilla) w/ ¼ salsa.

Lunch
½ Marie Calendars Beef Pot Pie – I shared with David
1 3” Slice of Apple pie

Dinner
12 oz can Red Cream Soda
2 cps Cherries
Cincinnati Chili – 3 ways - Includes the following:
- 2 ½ cps Spaghetti Noodles
- 1 ½ cps Cincinnati Chili
- ½ cp grated cheddar cheese

Cincinnati chili is excellent and it is probably new to most people unless you have had occasion to be in the Cincinnati area and had it at one of the many places that serve it there. I myself have not had this in at least 10 years but I decided to make it for dinner Saturday – Misun liked it. See the pictures, recipe below.



Cincinnati Chili Recipe
List of Ingredients

2 ½ lbs. lean ground beef
4 c. water
2 - 6 oz. cans tomato paste
1 large onion - finely chopped
2 clove garlic - minced
2 large bay leaves
3 Tbs. chili powder
1 Tbs. ground cumin
2 tsp. ground allspice
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. red pepper powder
1 tsp. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

hot cooked spaghetti
finely shredded cheddar
chopped onion
small red beans

Instructions

1. Combine ground beef and water in a stew pot. Bring to boil then simmer about 20 minutes until beef is done, stirring occasionally to so that beef is a fine crumble as it cooks (You want very fine particles of beef).
2. Stir in everything but the last 4 ingredients (spaghetti, cheese, onion, beans) Cover and cook, at a simmer for about 1 1/2 hour stirring on occasion. Remove cover and, if necessary, cook down to a good thick consistency.
3. Remove and discard bay leaves.
4. Layer on plate: spaghetti, beans, chili, onions and then a blanket of cheese to cover entire thing. The beans cheese and onions are optional, I like my chili 4 ways which means with cheese and onions but no beans.


Serves 6 - 8

I did not do any extra exercise Friday or Saturday I did watch about 3 hours of television on Saturday.
