BOREDOM

Cooking up a storm

I'm also for boredom eating - luckily I work away a lot and am quite busy - but I find it hard not to 'binge' when I'm at home. Haven't done it for a while, and haven't had alcohol for weeks!! I read/clean/listen to music/sort the garden out/watch stuff/etc etc. I have awful wrists and am going to develop arthritis soon too - I'm only 26 But ho hum its the card I was dealt. I find wearing gloves indoors (fingerless ones) helps me keep mobile for a bit longer. That and alternating what I'm doing.

I think my Gordon Ramsay experience will keep me outta mischief for a while lol then when im done ill be too tired to be bothered about being bored - ive tasted they curry - i think i put too much curry powder in for me but it still tastes good

 

[Mandlegrot]

Could dilute it with more veg and some stock? or put in some cooked lentils they soak up loads of favour and will keep texture

 

[Texty_F]

I think ill have to add more stock as i dont have any lentils :-(

 

[Mandlegrot]

broccoli/cauli soak up sauce well. try and reduce the stock a bit so its thicker.

 

[Texty_F]

yeh i have brocc and cauli ill use them - god i hate this cooking malarkey lol

 

[Mandlegrot]

hahahaha. broccoli soaks it up good and proper then add a wee bit more stock and simmer it down...or add chopped toms/passata if its a tomato based curry?

but think of the store of lovely low syn/syn free goodies you will have in the freezer - great for when you really don't want to cook. I love that when I don't fancy cooking and I realise I can just take something out of the freezer and defrost it!
