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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

It turned out really good, mostly because of the lime at the very end. And I added a bunch of kale.

I found these limes on the street in a box: they're makrut limes, still kind of orange on the exterior, but really tasty.

Basically you cannot go wrong with ginger, garlic, and coconut milk, I believe...

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

but I'm at the point where I'll be glad to see the end of it and have different things from day to day.

One of the beautiful things about the InstaPot is the ability to make a small amount of a long cooking dish with minimal effort. I bore easily when it comes to food, so I have a hard time making a big batch of something and eating it for days. So, I can make one or two servings of something and eat it before I get tired of it.

Add protein, starch, and a squeeze of lime, and it's a quick road to bliss.

Oh, yum, ‘Suela! A squeeze of lime is so often an excellent finish
