Day 307: Black Currant Popsicle

Not a happy gut today. Overfed and underslept. I’m sure this is the very first second of November in my lifetime during which I ate not one Halloween candy. Believe me, there are plenty here; Mike took this as proof positive that I was unwell. My midsection retaliated all day (and still is) for, I imagine, the past few weeks of abuse.

I ate two apples and an orange today – all I could imagine eating, probably because they are cool and watery and acidic and typically make me feel hungry. At dinnertime I pulled out a container of yam and lentil soup (it has been in there longer than I thought) and Mike made W a grilled cheese sandwich. Mike ate all the soup; I had a black currant popsicle – just black currant puree and vanilla yogurt frozen in a popsicle mold with a wooden stick (I hate those plastic ones that go with the mold – they just spend all their time scattered on the basement floor being stepped on).

And sorry, I went and forgot to post my recipe for bacon brittle, in case anyone is interested. I made it last week for Halloween on CBC. It was made using my Grandma’s peanut brittle recipe. Instead of the peanuts, I cooked up about 6-8 slices of bacon until crisp, drained them and chopped them roughly, then stirred the chunks in instead of the peanuts. I also ground fresh black pepper over the surface as soon as I spread it out on the baking sheet, while it was still hot and tacky.

    Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. When my stomach starts feeling like that I drink a lot of green tea with mint (sometimes with honey). It seems to settle my upset tummy better than most other remedies.

    It is hard to get enough sleep sometimes but you have to make it a priority or you end up coming down with all sorts of ailments. You are heading into the holiday season and you definitely don’t want to end up in bed with something like the flu or a bad cold.

    Take care of yourself.

    Bacon sure is all the rage, but pork is sure good! But I definitely can’t imagine eating bacon brittle if you’re not feeling well. For a second there, I thought that you only had the popsicle for dinner….feel better soon.

    Oh I did only have the popsicle for dinner. I only added the bacon brittle recipe because I had promised it on Thursday or Friday and then forgot to post it!

    Question: Does the brittle keep well for 2 weeks if it’s the bacon version? Not that it would last that long in my house, but if I was going to make it for gifts…..

    Hmm. Bacon does keep for a long time, particularly cooked. But I’m still not convinced the brittle would be great after 2 weeks… especially in BC. It might get sticky. You could keep it in the freezer, where it’s also dry…

    My 70-‘ish year old babysitter swears by white grape juice as the cure all for all things stomach-related. I tried the white grape – peach combo and it really was soothing to sip on especially when mixed with a little ginger ale.
    My gido said pickle juice was the answer – I have found that to work as well.
    Hoping you feel very better, very soon – take care!
