I just got word that my 21 year old daughter is positive for a hereditary disease that has taken my mother and my sister already. I’m crushed - right through my soul. She is the kindest and dearest person I know (I may be biased) but this is so hard for her, and me, to deal with.
Someone’s telling me to get on “Threads”. Some new Instagram-compatible social media platform that looks like a Twitter feed. Not interested in having more social media accounts but interesting that Meta’s coming for Twitter.

I just have to actually celebrate myself, my friend let slip at dinner that my ex has a girlfriend and has for a while and I’m not sad or hurt about it at all. Which is HUGE. I’m so fucking proud of the progress I’ve made emotionally.
I’m too tired to journal properly tonight. It’s been a busy day but I managed to squeeze in a 6k walk and a quick trip to the op shop which landed me a gorgeous full length blue paisly skirt.
Sit. rep.: bleeding finally stopped for good once the anaesthetic wore off - it seemed to start bleeding again each time a bit of feeling came back.
Managed to eat some yoghurt etc and have put the makings of congee in the slow cooker.
Am wiped so have crawled in. Have a good evening everyone.
so busy today. late finish and couldnt really be bothered cooking, so broccoli, pesto and chilli soup with garlic-y croutons from the freezer it is (fresh croutons).
want to watch the cricket but will probably end up falling asleep on the couch, giving myself an old lady stiff neck/back for work tomorrow.
I have to go back to work on Monday and tomorrow is my birthday and I’d hate to sleep through that even though I’m doing nothing tomorrow and decided I’d be a hermit.
I’m… not the wisest person to listen to hehe. I would rather you have a wonderful birthday than not have one bc you were tired. Happy Birthday, apologies for almost leading you astra lol
Yeah, I definitely think I’ll have to make some out of pure necessity: I bought 5 last weekend because mr omokiri had his wisdom teeth out on Monday and mentioned that he might like to have some smoothies while on his liquid diet. He has had approximately nome of them so far.
Ah with smoothies as a liquid diet, add some corn flakes in it, it’s a bit more weighty and full feeling. What I do when making a smoothie: make a banana smoothie, add Kellogg’s cornflakes and blue berries and churn that up. Fulling, not thick depending on how much cereal you add, just a little will be enough and the blueberries are a good source of fibre, vitamin c and antioxidants. If blueberries is not a go because it’s not like then raspberry or blackberry is also good back up. Delicious. I need to get back into smoothies but haven’t made them because cold
On Everyday Gourmet show I saw a chocolate Bavarian pie from Beatrix Bakes chef. Looked so good. I have put it onto my endlessly growing to-bake list. everydaygourmet.tv/…/chocolate-bavarian-pieBuuut, it’s winter so a hot dessert might be better. Maybe a lemon delicious, or brownies heated up,or apple pie. All with icecream of course.
I have the urge to bake croissants so badly. BUT I got the Lune cookbook for Christmas and I’ve not had a chance to try their recipe yet. It’s a 3 day minimum bake, so I’m making myself hold out a few more months until the PhD is done and I don’t have responsibilities so that I can set aside an entire weekend to do them.
A clafoutis sounds like a delicious idea actually. I could make mini ones and take some in to my nan in respite care.
Clafoutis is one my go tos for an easy impressive dessert. Did up a pineapple one once that was amaaaazing. The basic batter works with any reasonably moist fruit. Except citrus unfortunately which is a bummer at this time of year. Recommend butterscotch sauce with apple though once cooked.
Edit: Obviously I am currently listening to my d e u t s c h l a n d p l a y l i s t and now I am very sad that Jennifer Rostock haven’t released any music since 2016 😭
Edit edit: What am I even saying? Wir Sind Helden went on hiatus in 2012! I like a band and apparently curse it to never make new music again! Least AMK and Von Wegen Lisbeth are still releasing knock on wood fickt!
