K Atie, if it makes you feel any better, one of my colleagues was reading false positives for about a week after he had COVID, you may have the same result.

You've had a busy day, Judy. I haven't seen the inside of a gym since before COVID and do feel more than a bit guilty about that - but I am a great procrastinator as there is always a really, really good reason not to go!!!

I think there is an informal swap happening in this new neighbourhood. I have been making jam , and giving it to neighbours, and it would seem that I have therefore been included.I love that sort of supportive neighbourhood, Chookie, it is a wonderful way to get to know each other and offer them treats as well. 5

Good luck with your cataract op. on Thursday, Chookie. Everyone I know who has had that done says that it makes a huge difference. Good that you have a friend coming to stay with you for the few days and I am sure you will have a great time using your TMXs together
I am sure your tiredness will come right as time goes by, you have gone through a massive change in your life recently and your body is just now 're-adjusting' itself. 6

We saw David Helfgott many years ago when we lived in Kalgoorlie - I don't necessarily like all classical music but he was an amazing pianist and I did manage to stay awake. My theory is that a concert is not a 'proper' concert unless at least one person falls asleep!

A Quirky Jo recipe - Vegetables with cashews and satay sauce; this might work for you, Margaret. I have adapted my recipe to tofu which I know you don't like, but if you eat meat that is what the original recipe calls for. https://www.quirkycooking.com.au/2011/01/chicken-and-cashews-with-coconut-satay-sauce-and-coconut-rice/ It makes a huge meal, but is easily frozen if necessary. The sauce works well with either coriander or parsley.

Went to an Indian restaurant for dinner last night in Bendigo followed by a Blues concert, with DH and neighbours, but I was so tired I slept through most of the performance, unfortunately. I am not into Blues music as a rule but I admit what I did see / hear of the concert was very good. DH loved the concert so I think I may regret falling asleep when he is discussing it today- maybe I will fall asleep again so I don't have to pretend I saw the whole concert!

Sorry to hear you caught COVID, Katie. Hope it is not too bad and you recover quickly. It sounds like it couldn't have come at a worse time.

A couple ideas for you, Margaret:
I have made this often and everyone loves it and it is on my list for today Spanish Bean Stew https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12391.0 This mushroom side dish is delicious - you may have to hunt around a bit for liquid smoke but you might find it in a health food shop: https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=17163.0https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=17163.0 White bean & mushroom stew - this is from Minimalist Baker - I think you may already follow her blog: https://minimalistbaker.com/cozy-white-bean-mushroom-stew-vegan/ Another great resource is the recipe books from the Revive Cafe in Auckland, NZ. I am sure you know this already, but, just in case ... when cooking cashews soak in hot water for as long as possible - I find an overnight soak leaves them a bit slimy so I soak them in a bowl with hot water for an hour or so, rinsing and refreshing with fresh hot water every 1/2 hour or so once it cools down, then into the TMX on 9 or 10 for at least 1 minute to get a nice smooth mix. 13

I would love to suggest some lovely vegetarian / vegan meals to you, Margaret, but many have cashews. I will try to sort some options out that the meat eaters also will like.
Are you OK with lentil, beans, etc.? 14
Chit Chat / Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?« on: March 10, 2023, 02:52:32 am »Last night I cooked a chicken and veggie soup and added rice at the end. Made 2 meals. This cooking for one is a bit of a challenge.I think you need to be very disciplined when cooking for one ... most weekends I am up here by myself and just snack / nibble my way through the day and don't eat a real meal or very properly at all. If DH is with me I behave with my food! 15

Good to see you catching up on the Forum, Chookie and glad all went well with your procedure yesterday.Thanks for offering to put in a good word for me with Anna, but I am thinking Ballarat just wouldn't work - if it ensued that I needed follow up appointments it would be a challenge to get there. I appreciate your offer, though.
I am about to go outside and grab the leaf blower to blow lots of leaves around - a very satisfying way to spend an hour or so! |
