So much information running around in my brain about pesticides in food, technical notes about probiotics, inspired thoughts about how to help shift a depleted patient onto the road upwards to recovery... and what do I do?
...take a quick look at the food blogs I receive each week for some lovely photos of food!!
Yes, the secret is out - I am a closet foodie, finding therapy in glossy pictures of delectable food (most of which I will never cook or taste because the reality of life is I have an 8 and 3 year old who are not adventurous in the ways of the palate and I am too tired of fighting a culinary battle each night).
But things must change, I vow.
I must make that dahl recipe a kind and skilled patient gave me.
I will make those bliss balls I scoffed and then insisted on the recipe.... THANKYOU MARIA!
Enough thinking ... time for creating.
Happy Easter
