the hits just keep on comin'.

Sorry for all the posts, too much going on in the kitchen. Got a couple of recipes left over that need documenting, they're below.

So, the biggest downside of my diet so far is the lack of sweetness. I don't eat a ton of sweets normally, but when I quit drinking and smoking for more than a couple days I notice an immediate and powerful need to take a walk down to the dessert end of the street. You know, just to see what's up.

Today I bought some stevia, no idea what we'll do with it yet. First impressions: sweet, yes, but there's something strange about which taste buds are recognizing it. Haven't researched this yet.
