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...

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Mmmmm. I have little to add this morning.

I tend to avoid bean dishes because I just dislike the texture of beans, especially big ones. So if I make chili, it's lentils.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

Although I am not diabetic my doctor says the keto is the best for me because I have always been borderline and all 3 of my siblings are diabetic.

True. Also agree on the lime, and a preference for lentils over beans. I like the texture of lentils. I'm not keto right now, although I will likely give up and go back to it soon.

Sending the nothing!ma, msbelle.
