Strep

Wife has strep, which isn't good, I've always been rather susceptible to strep myself. I feel bad for her though, it is apparently painful and she is running a 102.9 fever. I just hope I don't get it, I'm having a tough enough time remembering to eat, I don't need to have it be a pain in the rear to eat in addition to it. The son is going to stay with grandma & grandpa for a few days so that she can recover (as I said in the previous post) and so that I don't have to worry about him, as I am not up to 100% taking care of him. However, this does give me an opportunity to go to the exercise center without worry about her having to take care of him while I do that. Don't know if I'll go yet, but the pool sounds really good, especially the warm water pool, lol. The sauna doesn't sound too bad either :D

But yeah, if anyone was wondering, Hormel makes a really, really good low fat (98% fat free) high protein turkey chili that tastes a lot like their regular chili (as far as I can remember) and except for the fact that it is a bit gritty when pureed, is absolutely wonderful. I would imagine that if I didn't have to puree it that I would not be able to tell the difference and given the fat to protein ratio, as well as not being that bad in terms of calories, you can add a bit of cheese (adding more protein and a little more fat) which adds to the flavor and overall makes a very good meal for me right now (or anyone really).

And greek yogurt isn't that bad. The texture doesn't bother me (a bit thicker than regular yogurt but after reading why I understand, lol). However, it is a little flavorless (at least the fat free stuff, haven't tried anything else). I think I will add splenda the next time to see if I can't beef up the taste and enjoy it even more.
