Chorizo, Chard & Poached Eggs

I've been asked (offline) about our new diet by a couple of interested parties, and the questions were so interesting - "If you don't eat grains, what do you eat?" or "No pasta? But you guys love pasta!" or "You've really cut out bread?" and finally, "What about alcohol? Isn't beer bad for you?" -  that I thought I'd use the blog to keep track of what we eat, how we cook it, and how it turns out. 

This morning I cooked up half a link of good chorizo and put it atop some sauteed chard from our garden. From there we topped it with two poached cage-free, pasture-raised eggs. It tasted great. We use a Calphalon egg poaching pan to cook our eggs so they come out very uniform and funky looking - like Jetsons' food. I really wish I could properly poach an egg on my own because I find a lot of beauty in how a poached egg looks. 

Everything tasted very good and the portion size was right on - not large, but satisfying. Unfortunately I'm sitting here several hours later having some gastritis issues - bloating, belching, pressure in upper abdomen area. This happened the last time I ate chorizo but I didn't think that was the culprit in that particular meal. Now I know. It looks like chorizo is off the list. Damn.
