Fresh water chestnuts
I bought some last week and have used them twice. They're a bit of a
hassle to cut up, but the texture is nicer than canned, and the flavor
is far better. This evening I made a stir fry with them, and a green
bell pepper, two cloves of garlic, chopped, and little fettuccine
shaped strips of beef round, in peanut oil, with soy sauce and a bunch
of cayenne powder. The accompanying beverage was a large glass with
the juice of one small lemon, two packets of Splenda, about a half a
shot of Familia Camarena Tequila (silver), and one shot of Boru vodka,
and topped up with water and ice. Tomorrow my liquid sucralose should
arrive, then no more maltodexrin and dextrose. My son can finish off
the packets. About 12 pounds in 27 days. It should be slowing down
more. The abrupt shift from feast to famine is pretty well over with.
