Comfort Food
Anymore I don't know and hardly care what day it is. I fight depression but win pretty easy because I'm basically a damn happy person unless I think too hard. My healthy eating lifestyle took a break and invited cookies and milk back in. Oh lord that gets me weak in the knees dammit.I may have mentioned I came across a youtube video of Alex on Tasty making comfort food from her home alone during this crises. She cracks me up, so beautiful on the eyes with such a bubbly personality. She made mac n cheese then kicked it up a notch baking it with a breadcrumb topping. My mom loves mac n cheese so I decided to make it for her. I actually kicked it up another notch by crumbling fresh crips bacon into the crumb topping. I used deadly amount of good cheeses and butter because Mom is only 85 pounds now (down from 120 when Dad first got bad sick).
It came out amazing. An extra surpise was my daughter had stopped by Mom's house to cook her ravioli, ha ha. MY HEART ACHED to hug them, it hurt like hell but we bumped elbows and sign language in Italian I LOVE YOU.
I had to send a huge bowl of mac n cheese to my neighbor just so I didn't eat too much myself. Yep comfort food makes people happy and fat. I have to work on focusing on weight friendly foods.
OMG folks - are you seeing some of the masks people are wearing in public, from sanitary pads, diapers, underwear, halloween masks, nylons, paper bags? At east it is funny as hell. May they all get to live and tell their stories.

I find I am becoming more adventurous with my cooking and baking now that I am around the house more.
I am trying to still cook relatively healthily though, as I don't want to turn into an unhealthy roly-poly.
My next big adventure is to try and make sourdough bread. It sounds difficult and takes hours, but I am not doing much else on my days off, so no excuse.
Hummus and cracked pepper crackers.
Greek dolmades and assorted olives.
Sun dried tomatoes with smoked cheese.
Not unheard of to eat a litre tub of connoisseur ice cream in one sitting.
I was in the middle of a fitness craze pre lockdown. Had been going to the gym for 6 months as well as my usual daily walks. All of that came to a screeching halt with lockdown, when the gym closed.
As long as I don’t have any choccie in the house, I can handle all other temptations. I don’t want to undo all my hard work, as much as I’d love to indulge
When I go shopping, I use a small thick cotton towel doubled over with a clothes pin in back.
Not exactly a designer mask, but not a jockstrap either.
Never mind i have not seen funny masks YET
Jigs foodsounds good and i do not buy tubs of ice cream any more as yes it would go in one sitting.
Stay safe
It's been a while so we got the party size LAYS potato chips Monday.
It's Friday morning and the bag is empty.
Sorry to hear about your mothers weight loss. Can you get her help from a dietician?
Well that's my excuse for not being myself lately, plus I'm sticking to it too
Ice-cream, lots and lots of ice-cream.... very comforting
