Doe anyone else find that cooking really dims your appetite? I have made today a roast chicken with a baked rice side dish and broccoli, and a potato leek soup. And I have not eaten dinner.

Yup. When I make vast quantities of stuff to put up, very often eat a few bites (omg, so good!) and then have a piece of fruit for dinner or something ridiculous.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Yup. The various bits of tasting along the way, plus the smell, seem to fill me up.

I am not alone! I wish I could eat something though, because I suspect none of it ill taste as good reheated (although I am making it for lunches and dinners for the week and to freeze some meals for theatre)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Our internet service is down. This is inconvenient.
Cooking always dims my appetite.

I cooked up the chicken liver for my cat, and she doesn't want it either, even though earlier she was licking yesterday's dishes, which was gross. Liver is her favorite cat food flavor, too!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
She's just being a cat, Sophia. You know how they are.
Inconvenient is probably closer to true than my reaction, which is near-panic. It's like being snowed in with only one book.
On the rare occasions that I cook, I seldom eat. Eating is fraught for me anyway. I do better if someone else gets takeout/defrosts something/cooks and puts it in front of me so I don't have to give it much thought.
I worked on the closet some (and will go back to it, for another short stint), but rather than going out, I gave myself a therapeutic (rather than cosmetic) pedicure and increased (again!) both time and speed of my treadmill jaunts. I'm feeling better the more I'm able to do.

Uhg. I just hauled in a 50lb bag (jeez, couldn't they sell any smaller) of sidewalk salt in and parceled it into old catlitter buckets so I can easily carry it. And discovered that old catlitter scoops will work well for spreading it. But now I have 50 lbs of salt!! And I hate salting sidewalks cause it tracks inside something awful, but I get ice on my steps no matter how well I clean them off (from the roof) and that could be deadly.
Didn't replace the porch bulb yet. Got an outdoor cfl that I hope will fit, cause even a regular bulb in there is a tight fit. And I haven't figured out how to open the fixture. Hrm.
