Foodie Update

So here I am, midweek day off and I'm crazy over food. I cleaned out my freezer, pulled all those turkey and chicken carcases out and I am currently roasting them so I can make soup. I have this huge stock pot and it is all going in there and at some point tonight I will have my first bowl of homemade turkey soup, I am so excited.

I have been thinking about food all morning. How much I love food, preparing it, cooking it, eating it, sharing it. Good food is my passion. Now I just need someone to share it with, someone who understands.

It isn't like I eat so much I can't keep the pounds off. Fact is the complete opposite is true, I have trouble gaining weight. I am about 5 pounds underweight. I have made progress. Six months ago I was 10 pounds under my goal. I know that isn't alot of progress, but it is hard work. My system is not used to eating a huge amount of protein, so I have to drink Soy based protein drinks and they are a little yucky.

So here is my new food resolutions.
I will try one new recipe a week.
I will start packing lunches for work.
I will share a meal I cooked with one person per week.(this one is going to be tough)
I will keep a recipe journal of all the new stuff I am trying.
I will update my blog with the new stuff I am trying, to keep me honest.

I think that is good for now. More to follow.

Update

Clocks.

All my clocks died at one time. Crazy I know but all the batteries went at once.
So today I replaced all those batteries, and now the world is the happy ticking place it should be.

You could call me the crazy clock lady, could be worse.

Back to Basics

Food. I have the day off tomorrow, well I guess it is today now. I am going to do something interesting with food. It all starts with grocery shopping. my most hated task, well not most hated but pretty high up there. Tomorrow is also garbage day so I can clean out the fridge of all that crap that I can't put in the can until garbage day, and then forget to do it.

So what should I do with food? I am still thinking about homemade pasta but it is so labour intensive. I also want to try my BBQ. Its not new or any thing but I need to spend some time getting to know it properly. It's a charcoal grill, I think I have briquettes for it. So veggie skewers for lunch and grilled fruit for dessert. Maybe I should try some kind of bread on the grill. Maybe pizza. mmmmhhhmmmmm pizza! I can almost taste it now fresh bread dough, pesto sauce, grilled veggies and mozza and feta. On the grill.

See I do this for a reason. There is method to my madness.

Can I Make a Difference

I recently watched Zeitgiest Addendum. Disturbing flick. I had no idea that the world was in such a state. The financial structure of the world is on the brink of collapse and our abuse of the environment is in a critical state.

It really gave me a lot to think about. What can I do, I am just one person? I wish that I had to means to spread the word. I was so inspired by this and the Venus Project, I need to do something.

There is so much to learn about the world and how we can make a difference.

I know it is 2hours long but worth the time spent for its learning potential.

I have been interested it environmental issues for years and as I was watching Zeigeist, all I could think about are things like 100 mile diet, recycling progams at work and pollution. How does it all fit together?

When I get some time I will sit down and sort it all out. Then maybe I'll start seriously spreading the word. I have all these mediums and all this stuff to say but no concentration to compose reasonable stuff to post.

A Quick Note

I haven't had a lot of time for my blog. I have been busy at work and with friends, I know that is no excuse. I have been trying to get set up properly in all my various social sites and settings and stuff so when something has to go it tends to be the journal. Unfortunate I know but I'll make the effort to catch up real soon. So my plan for this weekend is to catch up on the settings and stuff on the other sites so that I can focus on the journaling. I really do have good stuff to say I am just dealing with a little computer A.D.D. at the moment. And as if that wasn't enough I also have my home organization plans to work on and my hobbies to play at. Not enough hours in the day(or night). All kinds of fun!!!!
I'll keep you posted. lol
