Today I was free of appointments, emails, texts, forms to fill out, such a contrast. There was quite a bit of pain and joint instability, but as the day went on and I cooked a bit, rested, read the current Colgan, it got better. I made it to the mailbox, furthest I could walk today. Such a contrast.
Food was featured today
Breakfast was red lentil flatbread and sliced apples
Later in the day there was a slight setback while I was enjoying the last of the crunchy tofu sticks with a dipping sauce I made from ketchup, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
I'd set the little sauce bowl on the plate and suddenly my fork caught it and there was sauce everywhere except on the crunchy sticks. Over me, the floor, such a waste of a nice sauce. But the sticks were great. Definitely doing them again.
I made a long delayed split pea soup, too with yellow potatoes and chard. I noticed the date on the thyme in the freezer -- 2015!! But the flavor was still good, so there. Onions, garlic, split peas, yellow potatoes diced, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, seasalt, thyme, oregano.
This made six meals as usual.The potatoes had sprouted a bit, so I cut slices where the sprouts were and used the rest in the soup.
I took the eyes and planted them in a container.
All planted now.
A bit early but we'll see what we get. Nothing wasted. The last year's container harvest, a pound or two, came from just the peelings of one potato. They're generous.
Happy day, everyone with no pain but plenty of gain. Off to spend time with online friends for the evening.
