Carnival

I should stop eating frappe.
But the day is what it is and I need some comfort food.

at the supermarket

pointing at my belly: Oh you have a big load there.

food and beauty

Talking of food a little bit more.
tonight I made pizzicotti, yummy!
a deli from my hometown.
I cheated a little bit, I bought the pizza dough, didn't make it.
I made the sauce with garlic, tomato, chilli, black pepper and a delicious pecorino made by my father-in-law. Fast, easy and delicious.


Also I made two homemade facial masks.
the first one with honey, one egg and olive oil.
this works as a scrub.

the second one with yogurt and grapefruit to refresh the skin.
not sure I needed to refresh it, but it was kind of nice to spread it after the scrub.

friends for dinner

Penne with salmon - fresh and smoked - with yogurt instead of cream.
Tortino with spinach, ricotta and salmon. This time the dough has yeast.
baked potatoes and mache with cranberries and pieces of pecorino.
He has cooked and seasoned every dish, let's hope it's tasty.
cannoli for dessert - frozen from Trader Joe's. Never had them before. Not sure I'll have them tonight.

The table is set, outside it's pouring rain, I walked only half an hour today because of my husband's laziness, he did not want to walk the second lap.


More than anything else I'd like to sleep.

I've been cooking like crazy lately.
Cannot drink, cannot smoke, cannot do drugs.
What do I have left?

If I keep cooking like that, I'll feed the neighborhood.

hungry

Tonight we'll see two students from the workshop in Italy.
We'll have dinner together in a Japanese restaurant.
They'll have sushi, I think.
I will have cooked fish :(
Some doctors here say you can have sushi - and I think Japanese women have it!! .


However, I'm starving! Can't wait to sit at the restaurant with my food in the plate.
This is what I usually do:
sleep,
cook,
eat,
feel sleepy,
forget things,
think of food,
eat,
sleep,
forget things
eat,
cook,
feel sleepy,
forget things.

Not necessarily in this order.

Now and then:
work
read (over the last three weeks I've read a lot actually, But I feel it's never enough)
walk (one hour a day, trying to be consistent. Trying)

Also, I check my weight. However since I have had a bad memory lately, I can never tell how much weight I've gained.

In other words, I'm quickly becoming a plant.

My doctor is tired

He seemed to have all the time of the world to spend with me.
He matches my tiredness.

quotes from him:

don't need to check toxoplasmosis unless you eat cats' poo.

you can have sex if you need, you won't get pregnant.


you can fly to Italy in December only if you take your doctor with you, this is the rule of our hospital.
