Another rainy day here in the Philippines. At least today has featured some occasional breaks in the storm. I can deal with the rain better as long as I have a window of opportunity to move around outside for a bit without getting soaked to the skin.
Last night I did make it out to Mango’s for dinner at least. I changed things up a bit and saved the pork chops for a, um, sunny day.
I was scrolling through Facebook while I ate and saw that Ron, the owner of Sit-n-Bull, announced he had a new shipment of carrot cake in stock. I promptly asked him to reserve one for me, he did, and I brought it home today.
A bit pricey at $18., but I couldn’t miss out on the chance to enjoy my favorite cake. Yeah, I know I am supposed to be on a diet. I’ll get back on track once the cake is gone. Promise!
Speaking of cake, I’m going to go out and purchase one this afternoon. It’s Roan’s birthday and she’s working tonight at It Doesn’t Matter. She’s a sweet gal and I want to bring a little sweetness into her life in the form of a surprise birthday cake.
And that’s about all that is happening here. We did do our Friday hike this morning–wet and long. I’ll post some photos of that event tomorrow.
Chicken and cake both look good. I envy you. If there’s a keto carrot-cake recipe out there, I’ll find it. Carrots aren’t considered keto, but cream cheese is. However, the sweetener for the cake and frosting would have to be artificial. Might have to find a carrot substitute so that it become “carrot” cake.
Ah—I see lots of recipes online, most with actual carrots. I wonder how that works with all the carbs in carrots.
Rain, rain, rain, eh? That’s a pretty impressive streak.
Happy birthday to Roan.
I’ll look forward to seeing the results of your healthy carrot cake experiments. It seems unfair that carrots are carby.
I was shocked to see that carrots are nearly 10% carbs.
