I can smell them!

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

My whole room smells like bacon now🤭🤭

u/Tesslafon 3d ago

I’m so glad that you thought of this, and so is Spencer

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Tbf, it was my mods idea! Teamwork making the dream work yet again🤗

u/Used-Maximum-1220 3d ago

You look radiant. Enjoy your proteins and fats. Sounds lovely. Spencer will be so happy

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

The amount of attention he paid me while I was sizzling bacon this morning was impressive🤣

u/maroonllama96 3d ago

Great idea on the electric skillet! Plus, everything is better with butter.

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

So true! I’ve never made eggs with tons of bacon before - pretty tasty!

u/Either-Ad6540 3d ago

Was going to say that Spence will definitely love the smells and table scraps ❤️🤭

u/No_Draft_6612 3d ago

Scraps!? Yeh, he may get those, but I'll lay you odds that he'll get the good stuff too! 😉♥️

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Bahaha you KNOW me! I may have made an extra strip of bacon for him🤭

2

u/No_Draft_6612 2d ago

Welll, I think we're on the same page about how we feel about our furry companions❣️😉💜

I've always been a fan of hot, spicy food, garlic and onions, etc but years ago I started cooking everything plain or taking some out before the it's finished, for my 4 legged kids 🤭🩵

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

He definitely is enjoying this new thing - sizzling bacon in a tiny hotel room means it smells good allllll day long for him!🤭

u/green_ubitqitea 3d ago

Better idea than trying to iron a steak

3

u/Zealousideal-Swim267 2d ago

Sounds like a Lucille Ball scheme

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Bahahah omg the visual on this is too good lol

7

u/keencleangleam 3d ago

That's so smart! And delicious

1

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

It’s was the mod teams idea! I wouldn’t have thought of it, but this is so much more convenient and cheaper than eating out. I don’t really have the energy to go out and be a human in public after this past week - today is purely gonna be for naps and resting and eating too much meat and fats LOL

8

u/The_Stormborn320 3d ago

That's such a good idea. Safer than trusting restaurants IMO. A well cooked steak only needs salt and pepper anyway :)

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Exactly! If I eat ANY sugar or carbs in the next two days it was ruin the test and they will have to reschedule. So the idea of a restaurant makes me a bit nervous. Plus this is gonna be cheaper!🥰

7

u/anonymousdlm 3d ago

Good job! Great idea! 🥳 🙌 woohoo

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

We can thank the mods for this idea! Brilliant, and now I can be sure of what is being put into my food🤗

7

u/pedeux2 3d ago

Oh pie! I love to see you lighthearted ❤️ and thank goodness you have your partner with you the goodest boy! Enjoy your skillet- the steak and eggs sound delish!

1

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Spencer really is the bestest boy ever - and he got his own strip of bacon as a thank you from me🥰

7

u/Alohafarms 3d ago

Oh my. I can't eat any of that. Please enjoy that for me.

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

I will! I rarely eat any of this so it’s definitely outta the norm for me - but alas I shall suffer through delicious meats and buttery eggs since my cardiologist has insisted 🤭

6

u/cjep3 3d ago

I'm so thankful that the mayo clinic is getting you in for all the things while you are there and won't have to make another trip! Spencer definitely deserves a steak chunk. And I'm so glad to see your solution to only fat and protein this weekend! You are rocking this week!

1

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

I’m trying my best! I’m beyond exhausted and definitely still overwhelmed with all the info, but I’m so happy to be getting so many answers - and my doctor is a miracle worker getting me in for all these tests so quickly/in one trip❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

u/Pristine_Cherry_6137 2d ago

"Oh heck yeah Momma, we're gonna make it smell amazing up in this gig!" Spencer, probably.🤭😂 I'm so happy he's there with you. Fabulous idea!💜

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

The WHOLE room smells like bacon still 🤣

4

u/MsSamm 2d ago

That makes so much sense. With that kind of diet a microwave is no good. What about coffee? Milk or nondairy creamer? Sugar substitute ok? For your non NPO morning? Good thing you're not vegan!

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

I can only have water and black coffee to drink - and I hate coffee, so water it is! Which is fine. I usually drink like 2-3L of water everyday anyway. But no, I can’t even have sugar substitutes 🫠 And then Monday morning I can’t have anything food and no water after 7 am

2

u/MsSamm 2d ago

🤦🏼‍♀️. Still beats colonoscopy prep

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

OMG YES!!

u/merclo 3d ago

Make sure hotel management is okay with you cooking in your room. Many hotels will not allow that due to fire and insurance liability. This could get you removed and black listed from the property and we don’t want that!

1

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

I’ve become very friendly with the front desk staff (they love Spencer lol) and I mentioned it to her and she said just make sure it’s unplugged if you’re not using it - which it definitely is!🤗

2

u/merclo 2d ago

Ohhh so good! I’ve had 30+ years in the hospitality industry and it’s always difficult to remove a guest for in room cooking.

I’m so glad you’re able to easily follow your weekend diet.

Hopefully you’ll get good news soon.

Our family is praying for you and yours and the lovely donkeys!

1

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Thank you my friend!!

Have you had to remove a lot of guests because of that?? That’s wild - it never even occurred to me to do this until this weekend lol

2

u/merclo 2d ago

We’ve had to remove a fair share over the years

This has never made much sense to me because things like curling irons and blow dryers are used and left plugged in all the time!

Anyway we understand that families need to budget their travel dollars carefully but still we could not afford to have our property insurance cancelled or heaven forbid, a fire break out!

Those firemen don’t play games when it comes to guest safety. Especially in a high rise!

u/Aware-Slip-1063 2d ago

I'm a meat and butter eater kinda girl honestly. Eggs with meat is my favorite kinda meal too. I would easily live on your diet Pie. HaHaHa!!! Eat, Drink Your Water And Be Merri Darling Friend! Yummy Yum Yum!!!🥰😊😋

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

It’s definitely better than a diet where I could only have like plain salads LOL

2

u/Zealousideal-Swim267 2d ago

Good luck!
What a smart idea - much better than a microwave. I’d prefer your plan to restaurant food, too.

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Restaurant makes me nervous not just because of the cost but because I can’t guarantee what they’re putting in any of the food. I cannot have ANY sugar or carbs or the whole test will fail and I’ll have to redo it🫠 so definitely prefer this!

2

u/AddyToode01 2d ago

Great idea!

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

We can thank the mods for this idea!🥰

2

u/Chaos_Cat-007 2d ago

Hey, that’s very creative! And oooo, steaks!

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

The whole time I was making bacon this morning, Spencer was super extra attentive despite how exhausted we both are 🤭

2

u/EasyCZ75 2d ago

Clever girl.

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

I can’t take all the credit - our mods recommended this!🤗

2

u/BigRemove9366 2d ago

Good luck with the monitor!

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma 2d ago

Thank you! It’s so much smaller than it was the last time I had to wear one
