I can cook but I’m not intuitive and can’t do the bit of this and that - my brain doesn’t work that way I measure exactly everything to the recipe. Hubby is a much better cook than me - he does the bit of this and bit of that! His work dropped off a bit and I thought you beauty he can cook - unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you see it he has lots of regulars and lots of work now - so I’m still doing the cooking

Since Covid-19, I've gone overboard with healthy eating, tonight was some indulgence which includes a plate of zoodles [zuccini and carrots cut to look like pasta] topped with a red wine and onion pasta sauce with added ingredients including sauteed mushroom, stuffed olives, capers and prosciutto also topped with parsley and grated parmesan.

My body hates me.
In the last month I've been exercising more than ever, eating healthy, cut back on alcohol and my weight has barely changed.
I'm gonna start cooking artery hardening tucker and enjoy

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I'm eating more and exercising less. In terms of weight there's only one direction.
Breakfast this morning was stir fried mushrooms, broccolini, snow peas, zucchini, spinanch leaves with a bit of olive oil and a bit of soy. That was plated with two scrambled eggs, and a grilled large tomato and a grilled chorizo sausage. I won't eat till tonight after work with two cups of coffee and more tea.
Since X'mas I've been slack with the Keto in terms of how strict I was. Youngest came around with some magnificent orange cake last week & who was I not to support my kids?
I still don't eat bread, grains and pasta but not being able to go to spin class where i could really bun it off two days a week let alone the lack of cycling most of the time has not been good.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Shitty day, did a supermarket crawl just to get out of the house and bought bugger all, but I have stocked up on different dried beans which is good.
Made a banana and walnut bread this arvo, should be tasty.
Had some small meatballs in the fridge, half an eggplant and half a punnet of sliced mushies so I bought some mince to make spag bol with meatballs. Simmering away happily,

making a meatless minestrone, just veg and dried beans n stuff. That's lunch for next week,
Gonna have some of the leftover spag boll for dinner tonight and do the lamb roast I have there tomorrow. Benefits of not commuting to work is I can start dinner earlier.

Last night, Moroccan baked eggplant. Well, my interpretation of it.
Tomato, onion, garlic, cous cous, little bit of mince, lemon zest, raisins, lots of fresh coriander, heaps of cumin, cinnamon, tumeric, pine nuts, and parmesan, all fried up in the wok and then spooned into hollowed-out eggplants and baked 'till the cheese forms a bubbly crust.
Yum!
The bad news: it only used up one of the three large very ripe eggplants I bought for $2 the lot yesterday. That leaves the other two to eat soon or throw away.
The good news: big vote of approval for the baked eggplant last night, and can we have it again tonight please? I'm going to tweak it a little: even more cumin (!), a touch more lemon, maybe some dates as well as raisins, and different cheese (mostly 'coz we've run out of parmesan).
