@PeachFuzz  l think I have never slept properly when it seems there is a full moon . Lack of sleep too can cause us to let our gaurd  down . Hungry angry lonely and tired . If we think of those four things quite often a crave will pass when we recognize it's not a smoke we need , but nurturing ourselves in one of those ways . Halt . I'm not sure younfolks use that term here . As far as astrology tho I don't know much about that

 

I'm with you @Abby as much as I am fascinated and in love with a full moon it always makes me feel unsettled. Like you I struggle to sleep.  I'll find myself taking photographs of it at 2am in the morning ,  almost as a way of acknowledging her beauty and magnitude. Studies have shown that many of us are affected on a physical or mental level during this time .  I use it as a time of introspection. Journalling is very cathartic.I know that it's temporary and part of life. I'll be concerned if I start howling at it p.s. I'm a big believer in HALT #facts. Sleep is vital to me.  Love, light and blessings to you.  xx

Good job. Super happy for you!! 

Cut the coffee for a while Steve, it's a trigger for sure. Lots of orange juice for the next couple of days, in a sippy bottle, especially when you have a hand to mouth craving. Healthy snacks, grapes are good and 2 litres of water a day. 

Valerian sleeping caps are great and natural (non habit forming) 

It's a new day.  The past is the past. 

I have full faith in you and know that you want a better life for yourself and your loved one's. You now know more than ever,  that going back is never an option xx

If you believe that we are affected by astrology some of you might know that we are currently smack bang in mercury retrograde at the moment, making life a little trickier to navigate. 

Covid brought HUGE challenges for everyone and still do. 

These factors are maybe 30% of the challenges we face right now,  ultimately we still have free will and we are mostly in charge of our lives. Our thoughts, our decisions, our mindsets are controlled by US and nothing else.

Looking at the bottle I bought today and thinking really?  But why.

Iced Tea

having to look on the blood healthier side of things now and I was looking at cauliflower whipped with cream cheese as a sub for potatoes.

Any body give this a go ?  looking at some bacon bits and colby jack cheese on top, figure you can make Glue taste good with enough seasoning should be the same with cauliflower.

Oh yeah it's a great substitute if you are low carbing or keto'ing.  Really stick blend the cauliflower to within an inch of its life, so it's more like a rich creamy puree, add some cream cheese and grated strong cheddar. Perfect topping for fish bakes,  cottage pies. Anytime a recipe calls for mash potatoes. Damn,  I'm making myself hungry

Did someone say bacon?  *drool*

I'm easy.  Mint on its own and I couldn't be happier 

Awe jeesh @reciprocity how am I supposed to sleep now, haha. Seriously though you aced that, and the raspberry sauce I'm sure just complimented the duck so well with that yummy glaze. Your wife is a very lucky lady! 

@Doreensfree Next time you make a potatoe salad,  add a generous dollop of mustard (French or grain, not Hot English)  to your tangy mayo. Thank me later.  Similar kind of thing to adding it to your mash.

Some people find absolute silence disturbing.

@Abby

You are amazing.

I so enjoy and appreciate your posts. You are SUCH an asset to this forum.

I don't know what the heck's going on.

Some of the posts are muddled when I check back later.  Most strange.

Possibly the site takes a while to update.
