Decrease your ratio of sugar to flour and fat. Remember that sugar is a liquid for baking purposes, so the flour and fat are what comprise the structure of the cookie. Too thin = not enough structure = too much sugar in relation to flour and fat.

If you're looking for "good" recipes, look away from keto.

If you want to infuse something, just infuse some bacon fat and brush some on whatever you're eating.

This 100%. Or just cook with your infused coconut or olive oil or infused bacon fat.

We changed to Keto and we both lost an extra person in weight. But it would be nice to find some decent bread replacement.

Well, one of our friends would SING THAT "Oh Danny Boy" line to the boys that was......EXTRA-Special while motioning him to come on over to her, OH da STORIES she'd share....

Indoor garden last night, and this morning I brought in AB108F to harvest. Earlier than I wanted but it’s just getting too cold outside. The three little Squirt plants indoors will be harvested probably within the next week.

Yikes! How is that foot healing up?

 

[amekins]

Yikes! How is that for healing up?

Another two weeks and hopefully the cast comes off and I can start weight bearing. Swelling is way down, pain is just about nil, and the bruising has really improved.

I have peeled off so much thick peeling skin off my forefoot. I try not to poke much down where I can’t see because there are still steristrips over the incision. If I poke that open it would be bad. I had a suture abscess last time.

 

[amekins]

Just a few updated pics. Everything is in veg for another 2 weeks or so. I also decided to sprout some of @Kanzeon’s PKO beans. I’ll hope for at least one female.

 

[SSgrower]

This was my third foot surgery on that foot. My knee has been operated on twice, part of my cervical spine is fused, and my hands and wrists have each been operated on at least once. My joints and nerves are a mess.

 

[amekins]

Two of the four PKO have been put in coco coir in their starter cups. I’ll give the other two another day or two to form a taproot.

Yea, I got a feeling your going to have some weird thick scarring in that area anyhow, cause the flesh seems to be so thin in that region. Keep those steristrips on as long as you can. Don't poke for God's sake, if you insist use something soft, like a wood cue tip. I bet the itching is pretty bad.

One thing you can do is use something like Benadryl, hydroxyzine, diphenhydramine, gabapentin, hydrocortisone for itching. But it might be best to take it preventively, and not let it build up. Some of those medications will make you drowsy, and will also cause dry mouth, so keep that in mind. Topical anti-inflammatory's might help too, if you can rub it on the tips/base of your foot.

I had a hip spica cast from toes to hip for over a year and a half once when I was a kid from a busted femur. Wore out a shoe, from a pair of tennis shoes, actually. I looked funny walking around with one new shoe, and one very worn afterwards.

We were so poor my dad gave me a pair of channel lock plyers and a piece of a hacksaw blade with tape wrapped around it too cut off my cast in the woods.
We can't afford to go to the doctor and get this thing off you kid... Go sit on that log and break out of your shell.

I was happy to be rid of that thing by any means possible; and my leg stunk like old cheese. Even the skin was molting; I think that last cast was probably 4 or 6 months old, by the time it finally came off.
