The Weekly Friday Feast

[Jacques]

Hi @chookmojo and @Former-Member,

OMG Veggie Pasta, i will have a bowl thanks @chookmojo 🙂

@Former-Member, i am so glad you are in your home, i know it has been a real struggle for you, you are so strong, it is good to see the kids are energetic 😄 i hope you guys have fun unpacking, it will be so nice to have your things around you again.

Yay @chookmojo veggie risotto sounds delish. Interesting to hear that your diet is turning veggo. Any particular reason? Or does it just seem like a natural progression?

@Former-Member Congrats on the new home!! That is really really super dooper awesome. I hope the unpacking goes smoothly, and that you'll be settled soon. French toast for dinner. YUM! Perhaps while the dishes are packed, use paper plates or napkins? I'm glad to hear it wasn't too hot today where you are. Can you imagine moving in 40+ heat?

@CherryBomb Huntsman's are harmless. It takes a lot to annoy them into biting. I have never been bitten by a spider, including catching Huntsman's as a kid, and handling Red Backs and my T's.

As a general rule, don't harrass them, and they'll leave you be.

I have heard two natural deterrants are that Peppermint oil and Citrus peel.

@CherryBomb I haven't had time to practise those asanas.... I think it will take a while before I can do them!!! 

Thanks @Jacques - I have struggled this week, but I ran twice & went to yoga once (It was a yoga day today, but I had a bad headache - I'm going to go tomorrow instead) & saw a good friend & saw my psychologist....

@Former-Member It is very exciting that you have moved into a new home & have your things again!! Good luck with the unpacking. I hope you get to that yoga class next week also!! 

It has been only getting to 35-36C this week, but there was a heat wave late last year when it got to 40C, so with no air con it was very uncomfortable. 

I'm re-watching The Secret Life of Mitty

My partner cooked brussel sprouts & rice.

Namaste,

Anna

Veggie Pasta, i will have a bowl thanks @chookmojo , yum, we had some for lunch today , my hubby loves them

@Crazy_Bug_Lady trust me, the house smells so refreshing - I've doused in peppermint oils. I keep on telling myself that they're harmless. Hopefully, my brain will believe me soon.

@Former-Member hope you're feeling better. You'll get the posture in no time. Practice practice practice. You know, for me it's odd. A few years back when I was doing yoga, I couldn't do them. Then I had a few years break and what do you know, I could do them! I don't know what changed this time round. 

@Shaz51 hello! Sounds like a yummy dinner. How was the weather where you are? What are you plans for this weekend?

[Former-Member]

Hi @Shaz51....

I am okay. I always have anxiety floating around, but mood is alright tonight I guess... I didn't have a good day mostly - bad headache, so I was falling in & out of sleep & taking painkillers in between. Headache has gone now & I hope it doesn't come back tomorrow, because I really want to go to yoga. I struggle with feeling useless & pointless when I have days that I can't "achieve" anything... although I know I'm beating myself up.... arghhhh...

My kittens are being fussbots - we brought them different food - they like the dried food better, than what they were having, but they are refusing to finish all the wet food (a more expensive brand than they usually get - it was on special) I'm not feeding them more till they eat it all... stressing me a bit... 

Namaste,

Anna

Oh CherryBomb  , it is very hot up here today , but we have the aircon on and playing music

@CherryBomb I am just finding meat less and less palatable. I have always had an on again off again thing with meat and have previously been vego and even vegan for extended periods... Ive been mostly off meat now for the last 18 mo the and the range of meat dishes I will eat is just dwindling.

I blame the chooks for getting me off chicken which had been the main meat I consumed. I need to dust off some good recipes.
