Bacon, pineapple, mushrooms, and feta! It’s my go to and I’ve gotten a lot of people hooked on it.

My husband had the same, brutal headaches if he tried to quit. What he did was slowly over the course of a few weeks replace some of the beans for the morning pot with decaf, ramping it up until it was all decaf eventually. He’d have green tea the rest of the day. He’s a tea drinker now, but we’ll have a half decaf latte every now and then as a sunday treat if we’re out. It’s really hard to replace coffee with tea as the caffeine types are different.

We did a bunch of things today, all definitely what we wanted to do. Went to costco yesterday so did a ton of fall food prep stuff and finished the new shelves in the pantry to put away said costco trip. So much yummy food now! We made…

• Roasted heads of garlic for the freezer
• Lechon Kawali for the freezer. I use this instead of chashu in my ramen. Soooo good. Cut it into 1” squares before freezing and then you just grab what you need.
• Pork stock from the lechon
• Pork and roasted garlic fat, also from the lechon.
• Pickled jalapeños
• Blueberry bran muffins
• Pressure cooked beans for the week
• Portioned out and vac bagged chicken thighs and Italian sausage for the freezer

Was going to make some more things but we’re beat. Going to go and have a beer on the beach in the sun. Oh, after we take down the deck unbrella for the winter. Shoot.

I think I was all of them at some point today. But it’s leveled out at 5. Eh, see if this ax is still here tomorrow.
