food and writing and tv


I seem to have fallen back into cooking again, over the past month. I think it started in November when I got into the Making Soup habit; and now the husbando is eating healthier, so I want to make sure there are things to eat.

I think I can eat a lot of homemade if I...

- make a couple veggie-filled big things on the weekend, which I can bring to lunch at work. They don't need to turn out great, cause at work I don't care what I eat.

- make a couple easy things, a couple times during the week when I get home from work -- like pasta with oil and lemon.

And I'm back to making my own muffins and cookies, and eating them Moderately.

Tonight I'm trying to make hot breakfast cereal (corn meal with dates and nuts, from that slow cooker book), as something healthy to eat for breakfast.

Okay. I've got to do some writing now. (I've actually taken my Mail program out of my mac dock, so that I'm not inclined to check it all the time and procrastinate. So I only have to resist my Home page (which has blog updates) and facebook. Which apparently I'm better at than resisting Mail. Oh, and I found a program that will email me all my twitter updates once a day, in one email. Like that too.

And I haven't got back into any TV shows yet. If anyone asks me "Are you watching XYZ it's amaaazing!" I'm just going to nod my head enthusiastically and give a thumbs up. I'm not a tv snob. It's just that movies and tv are at the bottom of my Entertainment Pole--they're easier to cut out than books and internets.

PS - I'm back with a bowl of hot cereal. It's pretty nice. This may turn out to be my favourite use for the slow cooker.
