The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

@Adge you must laugh when us easterners complain about our hot weather here when we are in the 30s with the occasional 40 but it is the humidity that kills it for me. Dry heat is so much better. I know when I was living inland and it was a dray heat it was harsh but you could get about doing things but again not constants 40 degree heat like you get.

Yes @Bunniekinsit is very hard to make cooking anything seem worthwhile, when you're on your own.

I think that's because meals seem like a "family or community time" (gathering). So it's just not the same otherwise.

I used to cook for lots of people, years ago.

Ill health over the past years, means that I rarely cook a full meal. I just don't have the energy.

So I rely on frozen (healthy) meals, & add things to it.

@Mazarita@Adge yes what is with that crazy amount of sleeping ?? I went through almost a year of sleeping my life away ... it oculd of been meds but I am sure it was something else happening as well. I thought it would go on.

Companion (C) sounds an angel doing all the cooking. Good thing I am not your companion otherwise you would starve to death I am such a hopeless cook lol 🙂

Yes I struggle with daily fatigue, due to Sleep Apnea @Mazarita

So I can empathise with anyone who is fatigued.

I can't usually ever sleep during the day anymore (even when I try), so I don't have to worry about over-sleeping.

I just do a Breathing & mindfulness meditation while lying down (instead), & that counts as a nap.

No I don't laugh at anyone @Bunniekins Because humidity really is hard to bear, even though it's not as hot.

But it does get way too hot here, & it knocks me about badly.

I think I'm really a cold-climate person...

Oh @Bunniekins, C is the loveliest man. And funny too. I am very lucky to have shared a place with him for the past 15 years. Pity any companion of mine really. I am totally hopeless with cooking.

@Shaz51, with our virtual hugs we don't have to sweat on each other, Shazzy. It's a nuisance the sweating problem.
