I should be banned from using crushed red pepper, because I always overdo it. Chris couldn't even finish his dinner tonight because the spices gave him a stomach ache. I finished mine, but it was a smaller bowl and I gave in and had some bread with it.
What is it that was so spicy, you ask? Pepper steak. It isn't like the pepper steak that you eat in a Chinese restaurant. It is a ground beef, mushroom soup, and green pepper concoction that my brother-in-law introduced me to. It is "Asian influenced" because it is served over rice and usually has some soy sauce in it or on it. I load it up with black pepper and red pepper flakes because I like a little kick, but usually my kick ends up being more like a fiery explosion. You would think that I would learn to have some restraint.
Yes, I know that 80/20 ground beef and canned mushroom soup are not the healthiest choices. While I may have no restraint when it comes to seasoning my cooking, I did exercise some restraint in my portioning. You can eat anything you want if you eat it in the right portions. That is something that I still struggle with.
I don't really have anything more to report. Lets be honest, I'm doing pretty well with the exercising. It's the food that is my downfall. Fortunately, today I did not fall down.
