The other day I cooked dinner - lentils and rice something or other (basically comprising of green lentils, rice, onion, carrot, tomato paste and curry powder) served with pitta bread. Without the pitta bread it would have been a disaster - I don't know exactly what to add to it but it's too dry (I added way extra marge in an attempt to prevent this but didn't really make a difference). For dessert I made creme brulee from scratch! I am really proud of myself though god knows why I chose a cream-based dessert when I don't like cream! I think I was just trying to see if I could make it successfully and I'm proud to say I did.
I have also been baking, a lot. There's something so therapeutic about creating cakes from a bunch of ingredients. The main problem I have is I'm not really a big fan of cake (sure I'll eat one or two but it's not my first choice) so all my friends have been eating a lot of cakes lately. They don't seem to mind though.
As for my writing, it is happening, sort of. Every now and again I'm able to write a few hundred words but I am still really far behind and days like to today just make me not want to write as I feel like crap and the pain and ickiness is not particularly productive. At least I've managed to write this so I don't feel quite a useless. (Sorry that this last bit is a little depressing - story of my life).

You can make cakes for me any day! Lol. Or creme brulee.
ReplyDeleteGlad the writing is improving. I get days where I can write a lot, but they're usually alternate and I struggle to write in between.
I'm finding that at the moment - one moment I can write fine and the next I just can't make the words come. And often when I'm not at my laptop I get the itch to write but it's gone by the time I can actually get round to it :(
