spent most of the day cooking. nothing that would take you guys all day, i hasten to add; it's just that i can't do much at a time before my co-ordination is shot to hell, and then i have to rest for an hour; so it's stop, start, stop , start for most of the day before i have anything like a meal prepared. so, i tend to snack on bits of it til done; and i don't often have the energy to start; so, it's good that i had the energy today. But it gets better :
i made several large panfuls of new potatoes sauteed in a bit of olive oil, with smoked garlic, chives and parsley stirred in near the end. an old favoutrite that i haven't cooked in ages. that's way more than i need to feed myself, but i planned to share with my son, and freeze the rest. I also made quite a big panful of another old favourite to go with this : fresh broad beans in a tomato, mustard and basil sauce. and then i threw in a panful of plain brocolli.
i'd envisaged most of this lot getting frozen , but we both found it so delicious that we wound up eating it for supper as well as dinner, plus the odd snack in between. and now there's only a bit left to freeze. which is a tad disappointing. but it's just so rewarding when my cooking is appreciated, especially by my son, and that's such a rare event now..and, no, I dont mean because my cooking is crap, but rather because both my diet and my energy are so ridiculously limited nowadays'.
so what if all i achieved today was the creation of a good meal or two?actually, that's much better than last week when i pretty much slept and slept. and barely had the energy to raid the freezer. and i feel really happy about it
. i just love sharing good food.
