Withdrawal Of Love To Change Behaviour…
I just want to point you toward a great post on Annie’s blog…
there's going to be a whole lot of baking going on…
Yesterday… when taking out my old loathed stand mixer from under the counter (a ten year old 30$ west bend) the glass bowl fell and broke into a million pieces… and no, I am not exaggerating by saying a million… there was not one large piece left in tact and there was tons of glass dust everywhere…
Anyway… Ironically I had sent Simon a link last week of my dream mixer…
you know the kind that you don’t have to hold down with all of your force when it is trying to knead dough….
the kind that doesn’t start smelling like burnt plastic after 2 min…
The kind that can actually mix a batch of cookies and not cry out for help…
Well… guess what I am getting for X-mas!
I just ordered it today because it is on sale at Sears until Friday… (150$ off…)
Omg… I can’t wait to get it!
yumm…. vegetable chowder and pumpkin butter…
After feeling awful yesterday morning I needed some light comfort food to keep my tummy happy happy…
I cleaned up the house a bit, dusted and cleaned the kitchen (cooking is always better with a clean kitchen)
I got the pumpkin in from outside cut and roasted it and then pureed it…
Then I made an amazing Vegetable Chowder… a variation of a recipe that I got on Recipezaar (I add a lot more seasonings and more veggies and broccoli instead of peas and not as much dairy) and we ate that with some of my sourdough bread…
I started to fill some mason jars with pumpkin puree when I remembered a recipe that I had “stumbled” on a few days ago…
So easy to make and SO delicious!
One batch made 4 jars worth…
and of course while it was still warm I had to scoop a bit on some vanilla ice cream…
I feel weird today…
The more healthy I eat, the less processed and more whole, the better I feel…
I am also quickly realizing that when I don’t eat well I feel it… something that didn’t happen as much even a year ago…
Yesterday… I didn’t eat well at all… it was delicious, I didn’t overeat, it was homemade and yummy… but it was greasy (both lunch and supper) and then followed by a bit too many snack size chocolates and today I have been experiencing the consequences…
Feeling this way kind of makes me happy in a weird way…
My diet has been improving more over the last years… and when I was not eating well on a regular basis, a day like yesterday would not have phased me or my body… as I am sure is the case with many others that do not eat well on a regular basis… and because it doesn’t make you feelĀ “worse” then it is hard to change your habits…
but now, knowing that I don’t feel well after eating certain things makes me want to eat better.. not just because I know that it is good for me, but because my body says no also…and I want to avoid feeling like I did this morning…
That is a big step I believe…
trimming down users…
The last few weeks I have been getting more spam registrations… so I finally installed a plugin to help deter them and I am about to go through the list of registered users and delete all the ones that I know are spam… however… if an error occurs and I delete someone who is not spam but just has a weird username (like 1bdsfvbkn2352) or weird e-mail address then sorry in advance….
and if you are not a registered user and would like to then you can do so at the bottom of the page š There are sometimes extra posts and you can subscribe to my blog and get e-mail notifications when I post if you choose…
