It's a little weird to live with someone on nightwork when you aren't working. Each day floats past at a different rhythm, depending on the mood of the sleeper. Hungry, tired, wired, bored.
I get up at 5:45 (thanks alarm brain) and get Ed up and out, then Dave, then bill gets home. We do whatever we're going to do that day, then I lay down with him to try to get him to sleep. He is not a good sleeper. I, on the other hand, am an EXCELLENT sleeper. Put me in the dark snuggled under the covers and I zonk out, sometimes before him. Now, when I've had a regular night's sleep and it's 12:30 when we go to bed, I fall into a nice 20 min nap, but when I've stayed up late a couple nights and still get up early, I can sleep for 2 hrs! Talk about disorienting!
Today happened to be a hungry and happy day, so I sent him out to get steaks for the grill. Remember, this is dinner for him, and I am eating low carb. While he was out I searched the internet for a good steak topping recipe and came up with Paula Dean's bourbon mushroom sauce. YUM YUM
Looking back at the recipe, I actually forgot to add the cream and it was yummy anyway. Saute onions and mushrooms in a little butter. When the mushrooms reabsorb their liquids, sprinkle with a small amount of flour and stir well. add 1/2 c. bourbon and 1/2 c beef broth, stir til thickened and reduced in half, then add 2 T cream (which I forgot). S & P to taste.

yay for low carb - for small amounts (and sometimes large amounts) you can add almond flour to make it super low carb.
ReplyDeleteI think it would have
ReplyDeletebeen fine with no flour at all, but it was the first time I made it and usually follow the recipe the first time. Read all the comments and decided to decrease the flour to just a sprinkling, but may also try the almond flour because so many things would be totally low carb if not for a little flour
