Delicious alliteration

I’ve been eating terribly lately, but I made an effort here. It actually turned out pretty great!

Salmon is chipotle & lime, with cilantro crema, peperoncini & scallion on top, seared in a cast iron pan with a little butter

Salad is field greens, fresh basil & oregano, cucumber, blue cheese, roasted beets, strawberries, almonds, and a bit of balsamic vinegar

They might not classically go together, idk, but they made me happy

Oh man I absolutely feel this.

I’ve been self employed WFH for almost 20yrs now and the lunch-alone struggle has not gotten easier.

When I do make the effort though, it’s usually worth it.

Lately I’ve been in a rut where, if I get up from my desk at all, it’s to forage, not prepare a meal. Like, I’ll call a fistful of peanuts or a banana lunch, or some cold fridge meat with mustard and no plate. It’s depressing.

When I make something colourful and intentional, though, I always feel better. It forces me to get my head out of work mode and take a break, and it’s satisfying to make something that looks and tastes nice. I feel more like a person too, if that makes sense. Not to mention my brain works better when I actually feed it real food, heh

Like anything, it’s just starting that’s the hard part.
