1. Are you feeling more reset, restart, or full speed ahead as we move into May? Tell us why.
3. What time is dinner at your house? How do you feel about leftovers?
Dinner time is flexible but most often it will be between 6-7 pm. As we're both retired we sometimes switch it around and make lunch into a dinner and then have something light later on depending on our plans.
We try not to do leftovers but often meals for 2 will be made as a meal for 4 with the extra 2 going into the freezer. But we will use up leftovers as and when necessary.
4.What's the last thing you fell down a rabbit hole investigating?
I can't remember anything specific but I do know how easy it is to get sucked into social media and end up in rabbit holes.
5. And now for a question from the book Marilyn (Memphis Bridges) gave me...
At what are you 'self-taught?'
Umm blogging? My cousin got me hooked and I've used various platforms over the years and muddled myself through the changes.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
So here's my dilemma. I hate wasting food and currently I have a couple of pain au chocolat in the house. Plus a bar of chocolate that I started. Not to mention several packets of biscuits. All bought for when we had visitors. (Well mostly.) Now the biscuits will keep. But the pain au chocolat need to be eaten and of course a started bar of chocolate has to be finished. But I need to eat healthily. The scales do not lie unfortunately. Plus there's the looming annual blood test coming up soon and I want to keep myself out of the pre-diabetic range. But I can't throw good food away, can I?
Maybe now that the A-Z challenge is finished I should start posting about how good (or badly) I've done each day. One square of chocolate each day is ok isn't it? (Only positive answers please!)
First things first...you cannot waste that pain au chocolat! I agree it's been a month of blogging for sure. I've enjoyed it though and the nudge/pressure is good for me. I need more movement this month too, but the weather is warmer and we'll be swimming soon so that helps. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI found keeping all chocolate in the freezer, not only preserves it but cuts down the temptation to eating it. I still have some left over Christmas candy that I made. I hate throwing out good food, too. That's why I try to keep all left overs in the freezer and rotate them to keep things interesting. I use to do the A2Z Challenge, but haven't the past three years. It's really a time consuming event, but I loved it! Thanks for visiting. Have a blessed day! ~CAAC
ReplyDeleteI love your answer - blogging was almost totally self-taught! I can freeze bread products pretty well. I am kind of weird about freezing some things. I am really working on food waste, too, and for me that means cutting recipes in half and planning better. I'm a work in progress!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all! NO WASTING CHOCOLATE. I would eat a little bit each day...I too have my annual blood work coming up and have given up desserts doing the week but on the weekends, (friday and Sat evenings) we either eat a square of dark dark pure cocoa bar or have 1-2 cookies if I've baked. I haven't baked since Valentine's day so that' been easy. The cookies will keep in the freezer (you all call them biscuits) for when your grandchildren visit! But it is Ok and actually dark chocolate (more than 60% pure cacao) is good for you. It's similar to one glass of red wine (all those antioxidents!). I'm also trying to lose a few pounds. Doc says no i don't need to but i WANT to.
