So that's mostly what I've been doing the past two days. Yesterday afternoon & evening I felt good enough to cook me lunch and in the evening I even made me salad and baked a batch of banana bread with alterations, because I thought I'd be taking it to the office today.
My plans fell into deep deep water this morning when I woke up to the familiar nasty sensation and while I was packing my barley minestrone for lunch and making coffee, I went to pee like 4 times, that is I didn't pee much, I just felt the urge to.
So my plan of going to the office was cancelled, I heated up another hot watter bottle, made me a liter of cranberry tea and back I went to the couch, wrapped thight in blankest and working from home again. Today I'm taking it seriously and will just heath the belly all day long, because I need to be ok by weekend! I have to!
I've fallen behind on my menu and now I cannot recall the things I ate this paste days. I'll go backwards, it might be easier.

You may recall the recipe for the simple banana cake, that has been a huge success in the house. Since I first made it, I've become quite bold in cooking, so much so, I rarely look at recipes these days, I just need meal ideas and I take it from there. So yesterday, while making the banana cake, I took it a step further, which my boyfriend simply called "cleaning the pantry". I took all the opened packages of nuts I could find, put it all in the food processor, blended it and added to the batch. I think there were almonds, pecans and macadamia nuts involved. Then, I went ahead and added cocoa to the batch as well, which really made it delicious! So now, we're left with a whole tray of yummi cake pieces and only two mouths to feed, but my boyfriend has taken this duty up to himself, mostly. Well, someone needed to.

Oh my, I know this feeling, it's so unpleasant! Are you getting better?
ReplyDeleteThat banana cake of yours is on my to-do list for a while now. This weekend I'll be away, but next weekend it'll be high time to give it a try :)
Yes, thank you, my bladder is almost back to its normal self, luckily, but I'm experiencing some temperature today, nothing major. I just think it's my body fighting off the bacteria and stuff. But I think I'll be staying home one more day, just to make sure, instead of going to the office.
ReplyDeleteI am, actually, quite sick of the couch.
Oh, I think you're going to enjoy the banana cake. I don't know what's taking you so long, it's done in 5 minutes :) I usually make it in the evening, when I take a look at the over-ripe bananas I want to eat, but are by this point inedible in raw form :-) I like my bananas green!
I actually made double the size of the banana cake than usual, and guess what. We only have 1 lousy piece left, which will no doubt be eliminated this evening :)
