“His dream had never left; it was he who had quit on it.” Michael Ivanov (The Mount of Olives) 

This afternoon, I watched a programme on Netflix that featured amazing visuals of some of the cities I have always wanted to visit in Europe. It made me sit up and question why I haven’t fulfilled this dream yet and what I am going to do now to make it happen. For some reason, I felt like I had woken up from a coma. I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know what I want. Clarity is liberating.

I am also grateful today for the rest I have had ove the past two days in particular.  I feel more enegised and my head feels a little clearer.  I have also been trying to eat healthier these past two days, so that might also be playing a role. 

I tried a recipe from a new keto book that I bought recently.  It was just bangers and cauli mash with an onion gravy.  It tasted good and it was definitely the onion gravy that made the dish.  I had a good laugh, though, when I compared my finished dish to the picture in the book.  God bless food photographers for making food look so good that it motivates us to cook.  My food looked so bland and boring compared to the book’s pic.  Thank goodness for the tasty onion gravy because, visually, my dish did not appeal at all. 🤪

My food vs the book. They must have used a colourant to get it looking that good.

That’s my story for today.  I hope you enjoyed yours.

Bye for now.

Food, Glorious Food!

Today’s Prompt: What’s your favourite meal to cook and/or eat?

Let me start by saying that I love to cook however, my cooking skills often leave a lot to be desired. My son cooks way better than me and makes a wonderfully tender fillet steak with butter and rosemary. We usually have it with chips/french fries. This is definitely one of my favourite meals to eat!

Creamy Tuscan Chicken

The dish I have enjoyed making and eating is called Creamy Tuscan Chicken. I found the the recipe on the internet. It’s quick and easy and tastes delicious. I serve it with pasta most often. The recipe doesn’t call for it but I add basil at the end which just helps to make it taste more fresh and not too creamy. You can find the recipe here.

Creamy Tuscan Chicken served with Penne.

We seldom eat dessert with our meals but when we do, it’s most often triple chocolate pudding from Woolworths. It has a layer of chocholate sponge, white chocolate mouse and dark chocolate mouse. It no way good for my sugar levels but way worth it!

Thanks for stopping by! Bye for now!
