The dishes have been done, a meal cooked as well. Fish and rice, though this time I added brussel sprouts. I added some in with the rice itself, some in the steamer tray with the fish... to see if there was a difference. Not so much. It really did add to the meal though, if you like bs. :) Next time I will add broccoli. This is working out well enough that I may go ahead and buy more frozen vegetables. They make for a more complex one "pan" meal. Fresh would be better, but if I had that much going on I'd be in heaven.
I will be doing the last of the laundry as well, before I sleep. I'll keep the load split, but fluff them a bit, each, to work some of the wrinkles out. Well, that's the goal. Plus, two loads gives me time to rest between them. With that, much will have been done in the last few days. Not a perfect run. I didn't make it into town. But that was doubtful from the start. Tomorrow? To town, if I can. Shopping. A blur of shopping. Here, there, everywhere. I had hoped to make it in Friday for business, but I just can't be sure. That might be too tight, but then... just maybe. Otherwise, more tinkering in the cave... cleaning and straightening.
It's been a good day, if a bit slow. The body is the problem, at this point. Focus is okay to good. Mental faculties are reasonable. The body just doesn't have anything to give. Not even when fed well enough. I did thaw meats, and will be grilling soon enough. A pot of beans would be nice as well, to go with the ham. Rice and quinoa would make a good add, especially with some vegetables thrown in. Just... something sort of novel, for my recent cooking notions anyway. I used to guarantee two, and usually three, vegetables a meal. I cooked five days a week. A veritable feast every night, I kid you not. Not the way to go if you want to even maintain your weight. But it was fantastic. Hmm, then again I was only 300, twenty pounds heavier. Odd, that, as that twenty pounds was four sizes larger in jeans. Weird? I guess you know where fat goes on me. Though I had water retention problems back then, too.
I best get to laundry. Good night.
I adore Brussels sprouts. I stir fried fresh ones yesterday with asparagus .. Yum .. Usually, I do frozen bs though.
ReplyDeleteUhm, with asparagus? I have to try that. Two of my favorites, never thought of doing them together! Though... I do it... with reservations. Still, if it works, it would be like a combination of ribeye and lobster of the meat world!
ReplyDeleteOh, and fresh? Nice!
Now I am hungry, but too full from dinner to do much about it. *grins*
