Corner Baby

Insomnia kept me up until 4, Ediebird got me up at 7:30. Got laundry done, and the plan was to get out of the house after lunch, but felt so run down, had to spend all my strength and concentration on keeping Edie happy and fed and safe. Her backwards crawling has gotten stronger, but when you can only go in reverse, it's inevitable that you're going to back yourself into a corner:



BREAKFAST: 9am, organic cheerios with organic dead milk, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH: 12 noon, large green salad, Stouffers Frenchbread pizzas, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 4pm, chocolate covered bacon, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

DINNER: 7:15pm, curry shrimp over porcini brown rice pilaf, chocolate chip mint ice cream, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
It's nice when a casual meal is successful. Peeled and cleaned some shrimp, let in marinate in curry powder, cayenne and cinnamon. Sauteed onion and garlic in olive oil and butter, through in a pack of chopped dried porcinis, then toasted long grain brown rice. Covered it in a tetrapack of beef stock, brought to a boil and wacked it in the oven for about an hour. No recipe, just following basic method, and it came out really good. The premade stock was really salty, but fortunately the final rice was seasoned in the right spot.
