 I'm not looking forward to 50. 40 was rough enough. Can I stop aging now? please?

 Yeah, I think I had that problem last time, the pan wasn't hot enough. I
was worried about the house filling with smoke, but I guess avacado oil has
a very high smoke point.

 I didn't really notice any flavor difference, but there was definitely a
"grit". I'll have to give almond flour a shot next time, thanks!

 I'm more worried about carbs than the blood pressure thing. Liquid
Aminos/Coconut Aminos are an option, but they're higher in carbohydrates (1
per tsp vs 1 per tbsp)

 I'm fortunate, I never really had a "sweet" addiction. A salt
addiction, absolutely, but I don't seem to crave sugar like a lot of people
tell me they do.

 Yeah, that's what I've heard. I suppose it will be a trial and error
process. I'm trying to stay under 20 carbohydrates a day, so wherever I can
cut down on them helps.

 I have an irrational dislike of GUy Fieri. I don't know why. I can't
explain it, I just don't like him. That said, I may have to give that a
shot. Thanks!
