W: 347.0... not sure why.  Fluid I think.  Extra lasix today.

BS: 104... better

3:50 am.   Just in time to listen to drunken Amish kids going home.  Coffee made, fire lit.   Freaking dreams again.

24 bottles of Cherry Complex II, the last run of last year.  This spiced cherry features upgraded spices and rum, for a hopefully deeper and more complex flavor.

I have in mind a bourbon cocktail using this, and also in mind a cocktail master to design it.

Dinner tonight shall be Chili, over baked basmati rice.

Good 80/20, browned off and fat drained.  Vidalia onion sweated and browned a bit in butter. Goya light kidney beans. Diced fresh red pepper. Ro-Tel tomatoes. Ancho chilis. Hunts tomato paste. A bottle of Smithwick's Red Ale.  Fresh black pepper.  Dark chili powder. Dark chocolate. Molasses. 

Doing some mathulating, I place it conservatively at 500 calories for a large bowl, with no extra added sodium.  Just what was in the two cans of beans and the canned tomatoes. The fat involved for the whole pot was a half-stick of butter used to cook down the onions and peppers.
