Karelian pastries!
Basically it's porridge wrapped in dough. But it's good.
Ah, porridge. It looks really good.

I've been playing with IF (intermittent fasting) for the last couple of days. I always wake up starving, eat breakfast, and then I feel hungry again by 10am. And then eat lunch, and then a snack, and then dinner, and well...that's a lot of food.
So I have been playing with a 16-8 IF window. And so far...I'm actually only hungry in the morning for like 10 minutes when I first wake up, and then I'm fine until 11-12. And it makes lunch taste GREAT. Like the best thing ever. And I've been able to keep my calorie goals this way (aka no mindless snacking anymore).
So what did I have for breakfast? Nothing. And it's fantastic. (but I had blackened pickerel, homemade fries, coleslaw, and long island ice teas for dinner, and that was fantastic too!)
Gooseberries. My plants seem to have ripened since this morning, so I'll be eating a lot of them for the next week or so. I don't know why more people don't plant these....they taste great and they produce a tonnnneee of fruit.
I've been boiling a giant ham bone since 9am. It is currently 2pm. Soon, I shall be enjoying pea soup, which is the food of the gods...
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
Just about to dig into my first gyouza (Japanese dumpling.. vegetable of course).. They stink. Here goes nothing...
夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?
If it stinks, I can't eat it. Before I put any food into my mouth, I smell it first.
You'd die of starvation in Japan then. Their food always looks amazing, but boy does it smell...
Then again, they say we westerners smell of sour milk, so what do we know about what smells good?

So the last three days have been heaven for me!!! KP has been off work for over a week and has another week of vacation to go which means hes bored out of his mind and has been making me dinner, which normally only happens once every couple of months. So first night was a play on gyros on fresh tortillas cause hey who doesn't love fresh tortillas??? Yesterday I had home made rubens, and instead of sauerkraut we had sauteed cabbage and bacon with homemade dressing. I only had to toast the bread while he assembled. And this evening it was a tortellini chicken soup. With plenty of left over chicken to make quesadillas the next few days with our extra tortillas.
I'm gonna hate it when he goes back to work.

I haven't been feeling great these past few weeks (just nerves I think) and I think it's taking a toll on my health a little bit. So liquid-centric today. :P Tea now, soup later.
