A Daily Thing

How you can tell I’m cooking with a migraine

Posted in regular by Sabine on April 12, 2010

My vinegar Brussel sprout soak and bug check were much shorter than usual and I even found myself thinking ‘If I eat a bug it won’t kill me’.

I did not stir my polenta with my favourite wooden stick (I always stir polenta with a wooden stick).  Instead, I stirred everything cooking in different pots using the same spoon (lentils, polenta and onions), and justified it by thinking ‘So what?  It’s all going to mix in my stomach anyway’.

I did not even go into frustration or grumbles when I noticed I was out of pumpkin seeds and had to substitute sunflower: I just thought ‘Bah, that’ll do’ instead of contemplating a dash to the supermarket during peak hour traffic.

And to top it all of when dinner was ready I nearly started eating without saying ‘Bon appétit’.

My head hurts…  But I pulled dinner off and my stomach is satisfyingly full of Brussel sprouts, lentils and polenta (and maybe a few bugs).  My head hurts too much to care.

    mais pourquoi! Dis faut prendre soin de toi parce que le schtroumpf attend impatiemment la visite de sa “auntie Sibine” et il sera tout triste de te voir arriver en morceaux! Repose toi et prends le temps de t’occuper de toi. Tu n’en seras que plus performante au boulot.

    gros bisous

    Ha ha, dis lui au schtroumpf que rien que pour lui je vais faire un effort :)
    Moi non plus je ne veux pas arriver en morceaux, sinon comment je vais faire pour le manger de bisous?!

    (Lui et le nouveau schtroumpf/schtroumpfette d’ailleurs).

    Millions de bises :)
