What to do in parties?

Yesterday was pretty interesting!

We hosted a dinner with some friends at our place, and everyone was happy and having a great time.

The table was a feast of amazing dishes everyone brought along.

So, what do you do when the table is filled with foods not on your experiment list?

Here's how I handled it:

First off, I didn't announce my specific diet. I wanted everyone to feel comfortable bringing whatever they liked.

When it was time to eat, I casually took out the air fryer and popped in some burgers I had in the fridge. I kept chatting and mingling, not making a fuss about my food choices.

I had to flip the burgers once, and someone eventually asked what I was up to. I simply said I was making burgers. Once they were ready (just 7 minutes with a single flip), I served them up and offered them around. One friend took me up on it, and everyone else was happy with the other dishes.

I polished off my four burgers and felt great. Success!

Here's my tip list if I find yourself in a similar situation again:

  1. Keep it cool: Your food choices are yours alone.

  2. Stealthly prep your meal: No need for a big announcement.

  3. Share the love: Offer your dish around.

  4. Enjoy your meal: Eat what's left with no worries.

  5. Pro tip: If you're air frying burgers, flip them once for best results.

And that's it. Felt really good to have people around, everybody was happy, and I was able to keep my experiment without any major issues or having to talk too much about it.

No updates then?

Oh well. Sleep is still messed up. Waking up at 3:30am. Now I'm using ocean waves sound to go back to sleep, which works faster for me.

Cravings are lower, today I put some spekblokjes in my rib eye. Tastier and more fullfilling :)

Oh, and I had a tea. And black coffee. Will change the index page to add those, I'm having those regularly, so it's not just meat, water and salt.
