Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Also highly therapeutic.

More nothing~ma, coming up!

Thinking leftover chili tonight here too.

I discovered midway through making it that I was out of tomato sauce and ended up swapping in Bloody Mary mix, and it was terrific. I might have a new signature dish.

I’m intrigued!

That's pretty cool.

I had chili for lunch and my leftovers from dinner Sunday for breakfast, so I'm sort of at loose ends for dinner. I have some carrots I could roast. Basically, we need to go shopping, but I don't think that's going to happen tonight. I'll see if I can come up with a frozen chicken breast thing for the instant pot that doesn't involve the usual simmer sauces. Good, but... done to death by me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds great, brenda!

I have chicken soup from a can to look forward to for dinner which is fine but is not chili.

Our wings are not tired.

I did an Indian recipe tonight with chicken, apples, cauliflower, and a bunch of spices and it was super yum. Not chili, which is always a good plan, but yum.

Mm, that does sound good.

My soup was not immensely satisfying. I may have to treat myself to something warm and spicy tomorrow.

I am so glad nyour appointment was moved up msbelle. Nothing ~ma floting your way.

I bought a chuck roast for $23.00! Which seems ridiculous, but food is so expensive that sometimes I think it is cheaper to eat in the cafeteria at work than cook. But I want stew. So my plan is keto beef stew in the instapot with rutabega, turnips, celery, onion, and parsnip. Hopefully a whole lotta meals!

I'm making red lentil curry soup with coconut milk. I didn't have any actual curry powder, so I substituted garam masala. Should work, yeah?

That sounds so good! I really struggle with the diabetes whether I want to continue on the keto life, where I can't even have beans, but my medication needs are reduced. But I would love to have a red lentil curry.
