'miami'

Here in Sweden, cream is cream and milk is milk.  It took quite a (long) while before realizing that in the USA.  There cream is milk and milk is milk - at least when it comes to the white liquid I wanted in my coffee.  Half and half, was also a name.  

 

Then I found out that I had to ask for HEAVY cream, not full fat cream, pure cream, 40% cream, pouring cream, whipping cream that is runny or any other names I used to attempt to be understood what I really wanted - without being brought milk or half and half ! :)

 

Anyway, now I am enjoying a cup of coffee with proper cream! :) *Me like*... It's enough with just that during the afternoon, fills me and I can easily wait till dinner then before eating.

My trip home was beginning.  I had nothing prepared to eat.  I had to improvise to make my trip as LCHF friendly as possible!

 

It started at the airport.  I was not very hungry but thought that I better eat something that I can decide over and that will keep me full for many hours.

I found a restaurant that had real burgers! Perfect! Removed the strips and the bun, added cheese, butter and mayonnaise. *Happy and full*!

As I suspected the food on the flight was LCHF catastrophe! Rice, lots of rice and a few small chicken pieces.  Butter, yes! And I had with me a little extra butter from the restaurant.  The salad had a dressing with glutamate (E621/GMO)... And afterwards chocolate pudding - no thank you!

I had the chicken and butter! Worked fine.

For breakfast (which for my body and the time difference was middle of the night) they served some awful excuse for eggs and potatoes! No thanx!

 

At Frankfurt airport I bought 2 meaty sausages.  And on the flight to Stockholm they served a sweet cake/bun! *Cringe*!

 

On the train from Stockholm to Karlstad I had ordered freshly peeled shrimp sandwich! Ate the shrimps and the egg and left the bread! Very nice!

 

So, with some planning and good will - it worked out well! :)

It was a long journey home!  Packing went well, it all fitted in (Ok I admit I had an extra suitcase on trip home)! Bikini hang out to dry till the last minute...

My only dilemma was what to eat on the tirp home! ALWAYS I have had the possibility to prepare food to take with me on all my trips, and in 'worst case' I have sneaked a couple of eggs from the morning breakfast.  But not this time!

 

I was quite nervous about how it would be!

What do you think happened, how did it go?

I have been thinking about it for a while, a long while.  And what better place to buy these than in America! Besides the prices are like 1/8 of the Swedish prices!

 

*More shopping* :)

 

Soon going out for a run in my five fingers!

Argentinian steakhouse with a steak and sallad buffet! It was awesome!

 

And the best of all was that if we wanted chips, potatoes, rice or pasta it would cost extra! Me: just smiles... "No thank you, we don't need any of that, just some extra butter thanks!" ;)

I LOVE food shopping in new countries! Always an experience! Found some nice looking organic eggs for breakfast! (Don't have at my hotel and I have microwave in my room)!

 

But the colorants in the foods and all the cakes and sweets - eeiiik! Gives me the shivers! Even butter is SWEET! Why?

 

Got some organic blueberries too and of course cream! Yum!
