I am taking part in the Michelle Bridges 12 week challenge. I have pages and pages of healthy recipes to follow so I chop and weigh everything to the enth degree. I have new kitchen scales (the cat has been weighing herself on them, I believe she thinks she is going to Cat Weight Watchers) oh yes new scales. So with everything being measured, weighed, cut, scraped, sauces made, food cooked according to directions.......................you would think that nothing can go wrong. WRONG!
Tonight my dementia struck in full force........everything was ready to cook...................the noodles were softened in warm water and decanted out of the saucepan when tragedy struck.................the noodles fell into the sink. Not all the noodles but enough so there wasn't enough for two people to eat.
Bad you think, you don't know bad. I reached for the chilli.....................the spice bottle had a big C on it so I sprinkled a bit of chilli in........................it looked strange................it smelled strange...................possibly because it was C for cinnamon. Oh well. I gave the dish somewhat of an aromatic nature. It was edible....................there was not much left over.................but it did lack something. I think that the something was a cook whose brain is not addled.
I think it needed ginger..................it didn't call for ginger but hey if I can put cinnamon in the dish then a couple of cloves of garlic is not going to end the world the world as we know it.
I reckon I do that I should go back to the dash of this and a dash of that, throw the ingredients in and hope for the best like I always used to do. I can give the kitchen scales back to the cat she is obviously getting more out of them than I am.
I am very happy with the 12 week programme but I am not so hot at following the recipes. Look Ma I am losing weight, you know why? Because I am so busy following stupid recipes I have no time to exercise.
